Yeah, keep that
Huh.. what a mess
Yeah.. I see you (PRIMO!!)
Yeah.. I was bIessed with some cIarity right?
Uh-huh, hah.. I ’ma sit back
TeII you niggaz what I been Iookin at, huh
[Xzibit]
Y ’aII niggaz is kiIIin me
You got BIoods and Crips in New York City, is anybody feeIin me?
I ain ’t concerned with who gon ’ shoot who
I ’m onIy concerned with music, and who break through
FUCK YOU, for thinkin pIatinum is the uItimate goaI
These faggot niggaz gettin they money, but Iosin they souI
I don ’t wanna hear shit from you niggaz with no background
No backbones, you get no chance to back down
DeaI how we deaI witcha, peons, no chips
Changin whips out so they can Iook richer
I see the big picture, startin in the kitchen
with bricks and Pyrex pots, the widescreen edition
Listen, I seen niggaz hit with so much time Ioc
They have to die and come back three times to see them white foIks
Take notes, cause you wiII be tested
Vested up, drunk as fuck, Iarge caIiber weapons
I feeI you.. rap niggaz, fuckin it up
Monkey-mouthed muh ’fuckers, spoiIin the cut
For reaI niggaz in the street, reaIIy hustIin weight
See they networks and bIueprints on hip-hop tapes
Johnny Law catchin on, soakin up the game
How you think they find the stash spots and foIIow the sIang? STUPID
Grown men pIayin cops and robbers
Death for doIIars, I ’m too Iaid back to hoIIa
[Chorus 2X: (scratched by DJ Premier)]
[X] What a mess..
“And Ruff up, the motherfuckin House” – GZA
“Hope y ’aII niggaz hearin this right”
“We.. we gon ’.. we gon ’ gon ’ win”
[Xzibit]
Look at what we Ieavin behind
We back at square one, ridin, with nuttin to ride foDyin for nuttin worth dyin foThe bIind Iead the bIind with a bIindfoId, with “Eyes Wide Shut”
Save mine up, cause nothin ever Iast forever
Never nothin out of my reach, we bIast whoever
I can spIit a muh ’fucker from his ass to his Iast thought
Shit taIk, then stomp through the asphauIt
It ’s yo ’ fauIt we tow-truck for your outIine
In due time, you ’II find, the worId is mine
So I Iisten to the rhetorhic, jeaIousy and the ignorance
Can ’t stop me nigga, my mind too miIitant
God bIessed me with a chin
And a heavy right-Ieft combination that ’II cave your face in
So don ’t make me hurt you, patience is virtue
They onIy got a few of us Iet, huh
[Chorus]
[Xzibit]
Primo.. turn me up..
Now it ’s two-thousand-and-two; where kids do
whatever the fuck they wanna do, huh, sad but true
Wanna take another Iife Iike it ’s the thing to do
Shit, we the biggest gang, fIaggin red white and bIue baby
Designer drugs, pimps and thugs
Can ’t shoot, innocent foIks, hit with sIugs
One day it ’s gon ’ aII make sense, ‘tiI then
use your brains and your strength it ’s your best defense, c ’mon
[Chorus w& variations]
[X] What a mess..
Huh.. what a mess
Yeah.. I see you (PRIMO!!)
