i perform in cities

hoods

and slums

the best seller is drugs

and money is the only thing that get love

they say don't let it make you

but that's how they rate you

and the more you got

the more they hate you

just don't get in the way

'cause at the end of the day

my agenda's make sure i get them ends to get paid

so i'm stackin grands 'til the math expand

it's the man with the master plan

since the bambino

cash made my path cross with evil

uno dos cinco on a crowded corner rollin c-lo

to chips and the chick in the casino pourin cliquot

'cause now i make music for the c-notes

from new york to puerto rico

california to rio

hit the streets like the kilo but i'm legal

it's swga like i walk with heat though with all my people

but it's just me and my alter ego

i walk these streets

with my mind on my plan

it's alright if you don't understand

i walk these streets

think like i got a gun in my hand

'cause hatin is the nature of man

(sometimes i wanna

stop the cameras

just pop the hammer

box the innocent bystander and his man up)

i walk these streets

think like i got a gun in my hand

it's alright if you don't understand

just stay outta my waaaay

mainooooo~!

yo

one for my comrades

two for my family

three for the day that i run into my enemies

we gon' make a movie

the world gon' remember me

i survived it all dawg

what the hell you tellin me?

i remember days when

i was young and aidin

cuttin class

chasin ass

couldn't pass grades and

chillin on the block then

listenin to rakim

back of his album filled up with killer ben

supreme magnetic and i wasn't athletic

but i ran around with the tre-8 magnetic

money on my mind

crack vials in my levi's

been a dog since i had the cream colored filas

yeah

yeah

we fly

seen it all with these eyes

gunplay and drugs if you put my mind on rewind

fast forward my life

ya boy done made it!

if i could do it over

i wouldn't changed it!

aiyyo maino

it's the same ol' same ol'

don't matter if you in it for the fame or you lay low

haters gon' hate but

it's okay though

the angle is make sure the payroll stay swoll

big faces

cake dough and di-nay-ros

rubels

yen yang

euros and pesos

seven digit figures

tryna make more zay-ros

spray holes in whoever in the way so

while i count the next bundle

all means necessary
