The Enemy - Big L

I drive up and down Harlem blocks

Iced out watch Knots in my socks

Cops think I'm selling rocks

Pulling me over to see if I'm drunk But I'm sober

They wouldn't f**k with me if I drove a Nova

Listen Columbo you're mad because your money come slow

And what you make in a year I make in one show

Now you wanna frisk me and search my ride

Call me all kinda names try to hurt my pride

You're just mad cause I'm a young cat pockets dumb fat

Talkin' bout: Where the gun at

I been there and done that

I'm through with that illegal life I'm stayin legit

I love to see cars come cruisin' bye and playin' my sh*t

I walk around with six thou' without a pist-ol my whole cliques wild

I'm rich pal no more sticks I'm makin hits now

I drink Cristal I'm through breakin' laws

I don't sell coke anymore I do tours

So get that flashlight out of my face

To bring me down them Jakes'll do whatever it takes

Word up them federals got my phone and my house tapped

Praying that I fall for the mouse trap I doubt that

Why do I end up in so much sh*t

I done came way too far to be callin' it quits

Jake wanna lock me up even though I'm legit

They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thick

Aiyyo enough's enough federals try to set me up

Put me in cuffs and crush what I lust into dust

Plus they want a ni**a sewed but they know

Big Joey Crack'll never rat a cat that he know

Fo' sho' death before dishonor; I left the streets alone

Since Tone deceased it almost killed his mama

So I'mma keep doin what I'm doin

Pursuin' my dream 'til there's enough cream to start my own union

And show these kids how legit it is

Sh*t is real I used to steal but now I own several businesses

So where's your witness that you claim to have sayin' that I'm takin half

Extortin' New York and not payin' tax

I'm layin back playin the role playin the low

But it's the same ol' Joe so don't get K O d

Hey yo I'm gonna fry for what I never did

Or catch a heavy bid why don't they just let a ni**a live

Why do I end up in so much sh*t

I done came way too far to be callin' it quits

Jake wanna lock me up even though I'm legit
