[Lloyd Banks] Ain´t gotta talk, I can hear it There´s somethin´ heavy in your heart, I can feel it If things should ever fall apart, would you rebuild it?
Yeah, you were with me from the start, but are you still with? Don´t let it get the best of you, some shit you gotta deal with Learn to stay out the way and focus on the real shit If there was somethin´ I should know, would you conceal it? Gotta be with a nigga´s mind, soul and spirit When I appeared to be strugglin´, you didn´t check for me So stay the fuck away from a nigga, respectfully Don´t pay attention to nothin´ my foes done said to me I´m the reason for holes in their shirt, allegedly Me movin´ around in fear, somethin´ you´ll never see
You thinkin´, "Make a few dollars," I´m thinkin´ legacy I got a special hatred for losers, especially Mention me with the greatest to ever mix up a recipe Always low, seekin´ attention, don´t mean they´ll get it from us Criticize us, similar to pot callin´ the kettle colors Don´t trust a soul still, pardon my heavy metal covers Take us out the ghetto, yet still can´t take the ghetto from us You set your sights on a victory, but ain´t workin´ for it Hurts when they ignore it, no sympathy for the reprimanded A dusty nigga´ll dust you off on the right day
Even the ones don´t want smoke end up gettin´ it second-handed
[Sy Ari Da Kid] Granted (Yeah) When shit get real, that´s when you panic When I first met you, you was damaged (Oh, no) Don´t understand me, you can´t stand it (Yeah, yeah, yeah) What´s next? Can´t let the pride come and kill our vibe (No, no) Though sometimes (Oh) And some days (Oh) It´s alright (Uh)
[Lloyd Banks] Because my energy second, you underestimate me
Now I´m lookin´ forward to torture, terrible, tappin´ in They´re waitin´ on me, know I´ve been under pressure lately Gotta love resistance, prepare for whenever that begins Can´t help but think that your accusations are calculated Graduated from messy livin´, still get the headaches from it Don´t be misled by a lifestyle when it´s fabricated The actual number´s way off from the ones that say they done it Still lies a real human being underneath the talent It´s a damn shame when your voice of reason that speaks the violence
Girl, you can do anything, they make it a challenge Stay the fuck up off the net, in real life, you´re in need of balance Plan a shopping spree for fun, pack it all for a week in Paris Send a postcard to the few hatin´ hard, repeat the malice Ain´t no competition, ran shit so long my feet get calloused Life is full of ups and downs, gotta fall ´fore you reach the status
[Sy Ari Da Kid] Granted (Yeah) When shit get real, that´s when you panic When I first met you, you was damaged (Oh, no) Don´t understand me, you can´t stand it (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
What´s next? Can´t let the pride come and kill our vibe (No, no) Though sometimes (Oh) And some days (Oh) It´s alright (Uh)
[Lloyd Banks] Seein´ my past when I´m scrollin´, it spooks me every time Left cities with dead bodies, walked away from a cemetery Steppin´ on broke hearts, burglary case and every crime Promise you´ll see the sunshine, southside to the Serengeti Don´t kill your image, the wrong intention is deadly
And besides, there´s enough ass-shakin´ out here already The eyes are the windows to souls, just hold it steady If you lie, I´ll only make up one better, you know I´m petty Evil´ll look you right in your face, God if you lock eyes Misery is a long ride, that carbon monoxide Protect your valuables, niggas starvin´ on our side Innocence takin´ every day, listen, you hear the park cry Look, I´d be lyin´ to say it´s what I´ve anticipated Insulated, in this cold world, goal´s to be situated All of the faces you´re used to, hard to forget your favorite
Either way, I´ve made it, salute to those that participated
[Sy Ari Da Kid] Granted (Yeah) When shit get real, that´s when you panic When I first met you, you was damaged (Oh, no) Don´t understand me, you can´t stand it (Yeah, yeah, yeah) What´s next? Can´t let the pride come and kill our vibe (No, no) Though sometimes (Oh) And some days (Oh) It´s alright
