We in this together son your beef is mines

Let me start from the beginning at the top of the list

Know wha'mean Hav situation like this

Another war story from a thirsty young hustler

Won't trust ya I'd rather bust ya

And leave your corpse for the cops to discover

While I be pimpin' in the Range Rover all jewelled like Liberace

You watch me while Jakes tryin' to knock me and lock me

But I'll be on the low sippin' Asti Spumante

N***as try to creep on the side of my Jeep

Stuck the heat through the window rocked they a*s to sleep

Over a 3-pack it was a small thing really yeah

But keep lettin' them small things slide and be a failure

If I'm out of town one of my crew'll take care of ya

The world is ours and your team's inferior

You wanna bust caps I get all up in your area

Kidnap your children make the situation scarier

Life is a gamble we scramble for money

I might crack a smile but ain't a d**n thing funny

I'm caught up in the dirt where your hands get muddy

Plus the outcome turns out to be lovely

Got cheese in my pocket hit off my main squeeze

Push back the sunroof let the cold air breeze

Through the butter-soft leather upholstery

But mostly keep the gat closely 'cause n***as wanna toast me

A-yo I gotta get mines no matter what the consequences

Count all my blessings add up my weapons

Cock back the gat and let my nine serve purpose

Sling do my thing organized fiend service

Tryin' to make a mill is stress you know the deal

So we sling krills get your cap peeled 'cause everythin' is real

'Cause I wanna chill laid up in a jacuzzi

Sippin' bubbly with my fingers on the Uzi

Try to infiltrate my fort get caught

Dead up in New York my brain is packed with criminal thoughts

Get your life lost never found again my friend

Mission completed watch you drop in less than ten

On my road to the riches hittin' snitches off with mad stitches

Your last restin' place'll be a ditch kid

No one can stop me try your style's sloppy

You wanna be me you're just an imitation copy

My theme is all about makin' the green

Livin' up in luxury pushin' phat whips and livin' comfortably

As time goes by an eye for an eye

We in this together son your beef is mines

So long as the sun shines to light up the sky

We in this together son your beef is mines

A d**g dealer's dream

Stash CREAM keys on a triple beam

Five hundred SL green ninety-five nickle gleam

Condominium thug dressed like the gentleman

Tailor made ostrich Chanel for my women friend

Murdering numbers on your head while I'm burglaring

Shank is serving 'em

What's up to all my n***as swerving in New York metropolis

The Bridge brings apocalypse

Shoot at the clouds feels like the Holy Beast is watching us

Mad man my sanity is going like an hourglass

Gun inside my bad hand I sliced trying to bag grams

I got h*es that used to milk you n***as who could've killed you

Is down with my I'll crew of psychos

Nas Escobar moving on your weak production

Pumping corruption in the third world we just busting

Hold up and analyze the wildcats slang cracks

They swingin Ac's the new routines be my eyes black's

Playing corners glancing all up in your cornea

Corner ya seen cats snatch monies up on ya

But late night candlelight fiend with a crack pipe

It's only right feeling higher than an airplane right

Word yo I want to get this money then blow

Take my time blast a nine if you front you go

Sip beers the German ones hand my guns to sons

Shaolin and Queensbridge we robbing n***as for fun

But still write my will out to my seeds then build

Mahalia sing a tale but the real we still kill

As time goes by an eye for an eye

We in this together son your beef is mines

So long as the sun shines to light up the sky

We in this together son your beef is mines

As time goes by an eye for an eye

We in this together son your beef is mines

So long as the sun shines to light up the sky

We in this together son your beef is mines

Laid back word out

Jus' bless 'em with the bulletproof

Mobb Deep Nas Chef creation

For yo' nation YEAH
