[00:30.64]Guliani got me off, looking like it's Amistad
[00:33.39]Be whatever's clever, with the thought of slipping
[00:35.69]Thug's start to flipping, black women resort to stripping
[00:38.41]When they say, the drug game's dead, that's not a fable
[00:40.73]Hustler's is locked down, or either got a label
[00:43.32]Either try to keep the heat on ya, on the street corner
[00:46.00]Ya sleep, a week later, your peeps mourn ya

[02:29.23]Never will I forget the jewels, that he told me
[02:31.62]He said when you holding, never show your wins
[02:34.25]In this ghetto, your friends flip on you like Doberman's
[02:36.92]Dat buldge in your pocket I see, you better hide
[02:39.48]While you at it, tuck that medallion inside
[02:41.84]Forget the microphone, you need the iron we squeeze
[02:44.45]So you can, clap four like Siamese seals
[02:47.26]Distrust and greed, this was indeed
[02:49.78]Given by the man's, and know we living by the land
[02:52.32]And life I tackle, with my soul trapped inside this Tabernackle
[02:55.87]The only thing that's missing is the shackle's
[02:57.45]Do what we gotta, to enterprise with the dollar
[03:00.03]Create a different aura, for the children of tommorow
[03:02.55]Therefore Rakim's style, to make my cash
[03:04.98]Come to me in big piles, and I'm out like 6 files
[03:07.54]Ya heard...
