The War Report

[noreaga]
Word up son
I did cause i had to discipline niggaz, knahmsayin?
Eatin like he live, he ain't live, word up
Nobody can't eat if i can't, word up
If i can't eat god, don't let nobody eat god
You ain't live - i'll eat ya food kid
I'll take your food, it's on
It's on now.. word up

Cause he's a halfway - thug that he betray
If you got locked that ass'd probably come home gay
Smack, blood out ya mouth (what the fuck you say)
Break your feeble ass down (cause you ain't in my league)

Yo, now ain't that the pot callin the kettle black
I used to peddle crack, you never sold drugs so stop frontin
I pushed the war button, you cold panicked
Use tools to fix ya fucking face like a mechanic
Dramatic, dynamic, and underhanded
You say the shit that i say for so long i can't stand it
The god bandit, erupt like volcano
Shittin lava, right on they armor, you blood(?) farmer
What wha? (??)hasa, gato, nuto cuatro(??)
Imbalance the scales of slaughter, iraq discipline
And open ya face, spit on the cut, pour the henny in
??? fuck a popa get smoked properly
It ain't even got to be handed on record
Just me and you, one on one, i'm only one
Yo, the only one, ??? team alphabet
Your power counterfeit, fraudulent, fraudulent yo
Who's fascinated? i get highly lifted and upgraded
You playa hate it, bite me before i made it
My opposition, competition ya code scratched
Like gats without serial numbers that don't match
Cnn form, gang is called "art of war"
Yo you weak minded, dumb deaf the nigga blinded
Left behind in, lost and found you can't find it
John the baptist, observe, mad water
Surveillance my style, exile, feeble and fragile
Not one crew, fuck you up like we do
252 (25 to life kid) cnn will shoot right through
Set it off (what) break you off, just like a big brick
Top that shit, mix and contaminate it
Navigate it, 2-5 the most hated
My satellite will orbit in rap, planet's my oxygen
We poppin it, kick through door, do-rag and moccasin
You can't stop, lieutenant arab
Thirsty to have what you have
Bust a new trade, illuminati be the new age
Masquerade courageous, loud and boisterous in three stages
They try to get my thunn twist in cages
So get the word spread, spread it like love
You halfway - thug nigga you betray
Yo i used to hang around with y'all, cover ground with y'all
Now i flip turn around and pull the pound on y'all
Dissolve, that weak shit you thought just revolved
Like the earth at its axis, i got access to map this
Pure blackness, yo attack this - blood sucker of the poor
My power show and prove, livin on the 5th floor
We at war, with the foolish
Get deducted, lose points, they can't do this
Like i do this so what what, what what, what what, what what!

[intro - conversation with capone in the background]
[noreaga]
Yo, yo - you got that shit? let me see that. (it's right here, yo)
Look - look, son! that's the second time that nigga did that, yo!

And get the fuck out...

[tragedy khadafi]
Before the 112[?], to the u.s.a. building in iraq
My crew bust back, we're cap peeling
Your crew dealing, in a box with no feeling
Informer type, that's what you get for squealing
It's the money or the morgue son, ready to die
Black infiniti, yo, papi, call ki
The coke connect - don't trust us, he wanna touch us
So call russ, tell him, scoop me in the lexus
It's all good, in the

Intro:
From iraq to kuwait word up, desert station, regulation
Cnn, channel 10 once again...wha-wha!

Chorus: 2x
T-o-n-y invade n.y.
Multiply, kill a cop,
Me and you,
You got beef, i got beef

Noriega:

Yo niggas tried to shit on me and make history, supposedly
I was the man who was supposed to be
The head of the click
Lip sealed, no nigga snitch
Do or die, i smoke bogey, sword like shinobi
Shoot up your block and make you know me
You aint ready yet, slow down and recollect
Stay in the car, i stuff allah bodyset
Ay yo allah-u-akbar, look paw, now i'm set
Air conditioned cooler system, yo, the tec glisten
On a mission, shoot your back out position
Found missing, 2-5 deep in prison
Kid listen, die on the cross like a christian
So fuck you, plus your weak religion
In disguise, nowdays i cut prize
The invincible, untouchable cnn
Is boldfaced, written in gold with ink pen
Channel 10, we break ten, win again
Kid you on pluto, homo'd out just like menudo
Far from the sun, cant feel the shit that i do
I stand in front the judge about to lie, plus i'm high too

Chorus 2x

Capone:

I did it for the love of cash your honor
Traffickin' across the verrazano, coke dealin', marijuana
And my persona, glitters in gold
Unlike them other money getters who stack, turn quitters and fold
Cash and hydro, eyes low
Looking phillipine, divide dough
And regulate, empire stare caked up
Raked up a hundred thou, now we all laced up
What., shining, designer lex pearl lining
The finer wine and, cuisine sitting mastermindin'
Roundtable climbin to the top of new york
Won't stop, until we get dropped from new york
Price of coke rise
J snatch my enterprise
A million more, rookie cops thinking they live
We survive, game tight like virgin nappy
Feds on our back, tracin tracks to murder pappy

Tragedy:

2-5 we on a deadline, read the headline
Noriega blast with nines
Move fakers, get ya back blown in jamaica
Lay you in the earth and curse you and your maker
I told you fools to stop fuckin with the maqi
Arab nazi, blow holes in your versace
This war's mega, with the arm legga legga
Been doin this, since mobb six with cormega
Gorilla, animal thugs be trife looking, your hearts tookin'
And got blown in central booking
I'm mad iller, organized thug killer
Now you little monkey niggas wanna play gorilla
Officially, mousallini, punk he me
Insanity, temporarily my plea
And the jakes never worry me as long as i'm free
To my people holdin packs, nuthin less than a g
Crime side of life, foul price to pay
Illegal life, trigger trife till we old and gray
When the flesh dry up and the world decay
Reach heaven in a pearly white acuray
But until then, i'ma shine to the last sin
Resurrect through the birth of my son, and live again

Chorus 2x

[noreaga]
Chorus: it's long and mad track
Keep the loot in iraq,
Iraq, see the world, the world, see iraq
Binoculars, ours is out, son, they watching us
Jake hit the strip, now police try locking us

Repeat

[castro?] it's cream on my land
Original man, cross water
My team break border and court order
Esp network, tnt explosive expert
Your head jerk, back flip, illegal life shit
Bad guys in black ??, left the scene rowdy
Air cloudy, a bunch of smoke flow astoundly
New assembly, new identity, remember me
Keep remedy for the poison of my enemies
Maw and remy, jack d the allizy, yo the motif
Don p, personal henny, have me hurt many
Actions, coke infractions, imanuel and fidel
Our money well, help the crack sale
Stack bail, then we map trail
Get it all back, smoke the black, hold the gat

[musolini?] the streets got me thinking 'bout my man's passing
Stashing, the ?? with a passion
Got to make it happen, the block steaming
And 12 k the cops scheming
Secruity be on my back for wrong reasons
I'm living what i'm saying on the block all day
Before i weren't sure, now i know it's the way
Like if i get caught, i'ma pay
Illegal life, livin' trife what can i say
Getting bent, million dollar dream
Hennesey and maui, while i'm chilling with my man
On the wood set
Front, i strike accurate, you get wet
Whatever choice you select, handle appropriate
Baby nine murder my crime, you a fake
Lefraktion, just wait
I need half out of that cake of regulate
Taking while you scheming, comtemplate
Only results in a 360 action
But if it come back then i'm pumping double-action
Blasting, tearing nigga's physicals in
Try to contend, you gets no days, with no wins
My clientle excel, it's like the double-fell
Drawn into the streets young
So now i know it well
Chorus

[mendosa?] yo son i'm packing steel where ya hard hat?
You pull out, ya bust that, your gat useless
Where ya heart at?
It fingers the trigger, change your lay with fake nigga
Beef with every nigga, watch your back
Of course you get clapped, you didn't bust gat
Splendid nigga, dirty rap
For my (i)raq attack, bust you with mega gat
Once a cool cat, smoking dagger, put it in my back
Why you did it like that?
Now my skin bubble fat
Go to sleep i wake you up
[noreaga] what what! what what!
[mendosa] in your krib tie you up
[noreaga] what what! what what!
[mendosa] hot oil on ya gut
[noreaga] get bucked! get bucked!
[mendosa] iraq element don't give a fuck

Chorus

[troy outlaw] we on a mission, not a small-time thing
I'm addicted to this cash, like crack-addicted fiend to the crack
But i ain't in to doing no drugs
I'm just pushing hits, and stacking chips
Like i'm stacking bricks for a building
Cuz we be building this empire fortress
Secure tight like barb wire
For inflitrators, regulators, try to manipulate
Booby traps got you hooked like fish to bait
Watch you deflate, like air balloons
Try and ambush this platoon
You run into a monsoon
Like stormy weather, give a ???
Cuz we bust bullets thinking much more clever
Eating through your gear like acid rain
Feeling pain, living like a snake in the grass
You won't gain, simple and plain,
My team play the game so we can win
We want it all, so we can breath like the wind

[noreaga] busting .360, cherry red 850
He blitz devilish, get cursed fucking with me
Eyebrows thick, resemble (some arabian guy)
Arabian mind, with source for firearm
Ceasar, waves bangin, brown wallabies
Empty cigars, stay smoked in cool cars
Queens escobar where jewels like scars
You heavy gold, slick rick changed it
Yo, the main vic, plotting on you since '86
Now it's 9-6, you lay low, you mad rich
Strictly big shit, big play, heavyweight
Bodycloth, hear a verse, put it in park
Let the dubs spark, now we ride, my weed dark
Dig deeper, black guns and black repher
My brothers keeper, throw on the world in a sleeper
The grim reaper, so much work he got a beeper
The word def, stamp that, it's on your chest
Yo you bullshit, my click thick, kid we pull shit
Grip tight, illegal life aerolight
Thug blood, the same blood, thicker than water
Slaughter, play this shit in tape recorder
From iraq to yugoslavia, somalia
Capadre, diamonte, pope', world war 3
Cnn history, by the powers of god,
That is invested in me, since '93
Locked up, i did three, got 85% of yall
Worshiping me, back in l.c., hop in cab 33

Intro:
Word up word up always look in the yo. (yeah i always did that too yo). and
Ask why. why it gotta be like this? kila bee rest in peace yo (killa bee
Rest in peace) word up (word up) ? prayers ain't never end (prayer's ain't
Never end)
"gotta get the cash gotta get the doe" -puff daddy 'makin' moves with puff'

Noreaga:
Yo i started out in iraq the wrong route
More chickens to doubt more money to count
Yo my swiss account with more cheese amount
It's still piling and still gettin' calls from the island
Still do the things i do when i was wildin'
Tryin' to go from penny loafers to mink sofas
Spend a week with dime chickens asfreaks
Body so bangin' i call they tits santy

Singing:
If you don't know (if you don't know)
Knowlegde is what makes thugs grow
Just stay on point cause you reep what you sew

Noreaga:
Ask chicks scream loud like car beats
I wanna be under the seats in our streets
Last year around the time this year
If i would of got locked
Yoi wouldn't even get it but now i got this rap thing (what)
No more hustlin' at age ten my team played to win
Reach under the car seat nobody understandin'
Yo the black struggle gotta hustle to hustle
And once you get muscle nobody trust you
Tryin' to be like goldy in the shaft days
These lasts days comin' up
Yo these little niggas comin' up
Hear they're gun talk ready to buck
Not thinkin'
Black on black crime yo it's swine you're both stinkin'
Pretty ake yo stan to marley yo it's poppie offically
Arab natzi 2-5-2 we regluate this what

Hook:
Said i wanna be closer to this paper (get close)
Ooooh get closer to these ends
"gotta get the cash gotta get the doe"
Closer to this paper get closer to this paper (hella dope baby)
Get closer to these ends
"gotta get the cash gotta get the doe"

Noreaga:
Yo i remember when we first did it
Nobody with it
Label said 2-5 is to thugged out (to thugged out)
So although we had to but god wasn't glad to
Wait our turn to boiler now we burn
On the daily done fuckin' in every telly
We can fly just like r.kelly
Them only secondary to the sun
I think i gotta son but i ain't sure
What's in store god there's more
Shortie says she came by knockin' at my door
Could it be tryin' to be what i can be
Islam me 2-5 my army
Said she about to have my seed
Soon to be it shocked me
Thinkin' bout a little me
Eternally i bleed thinkin' of seed yo at high speed
I multiply with weed
Now i slow my life down i got time to breath
What

Hook

Chorus:
New york get the bloody money, dirty cash
Live niggas who smoke weed, car seat stash
You monkey walk, i'm hunchback, sneak quiet
Talk about me gossip, scared to death when i pop up

I'm fouler than gats that don't bust when they supposed to
Been around you, play close, but wasn't close to you
The setup was weak, you coming
I saw you cuttin' corners, snake-type shit
Tie you up, seal your lip, wrist bleeding
Cowboy rope, choke your throat
Put the bogey out in your face
Now your face laced like ash tray face
Stay with gat on my waist
Give the god some space, shoot you up above waist
If i ain't got beef right here or right there
Ice-grill stare, shoulda set it off right it off right there
Cnn war report, spread across new york
Guard him indian style - knees bent, militant
Yo the world know noreaga from iraq
Beef with me serious, keep it real, that's that
Get stabbed in your back, my man alley cat
Little cousin from jamaica, brown-skin thug
Thug blood, yo we stuck in the game like it's a drug
My pops was a thug nigga, was on the streets too
Uncle wise been banned since '82
Back on the streets, a hundred seven got brew
I see you, come see you, writing scrolls(writing scrolls)
To the rest of the fam, locked in holes
At age eight, money come first, snatch purse
Go to church, yo that's not me, mami i'm cursed
Iblis glamorous, diabolic, devilish, this game real, realer than you think
Just think, spots get rushed, knots get touched, police busts
Yo what happened? police kicked door, yo he was rappin'
Your wife - what what! what what! dressed indecent
A hundred crackers, son it's the one-ten precinct

Chorus

Yo time zone, cabron, madicon
Bitches callin me up, tryin to set me up
Like amina and gina, kid they from medina
Emanuel, keep fish scale to sell
General - clique deep with cartel
When niggas get locked, who you think they call for bail?
Shorty legs mad smooth, son, i'm left struck
Pussy plus dick could only equal a fuck
Fatty bangin', she analyze, my chain hangin'
We waitin, conversatin', iblis satan
Illegal life, watch police on bikes
Life still in shame, they monkey wrenched the whole game
A stress day, police watch the twelve "k"
While i smoked shorty sipped chardonnay
I lay - lay back, cognac
And i dont even drink like that, i sell crack
Yo my ices gleam, type mean, sell to fiends
Shoot guns, parallel
Pistal (pistol), bust well
Kid whatever, desert storm like bad weather
Clique together, keep gats under the leather
You lightweight, what? i'm heavyweight hold weight
Yo it's jail niggas comin' home taking a shit
Yo illegal business, them niggas got dealt wit
Got smoked
God body cat, he sniff coke
Yo he's old time, thinkin 'bout drinkin' his wine
Regulatin' 9-9, get my crew out, survive shootout
Tactics, keep gats under the mattress
Player hater - my team a bunch of regulator
Set you up, you wont make it to the elevator
You never been to jail, i'm jail seen
Niggas seen, me in jail since thirteen
Shooting up scenes<obscene?>
Real niggas take cream

Chorus 2x

(people giving shout outs)

Loyal to this life there's no way to escape it,
You either make it or you take it,
If the game's in you, dedicated stay true
Illegal life
[noreaga] yo, i was in vermada, laid up with gold saga
Jungle room, cowboy hat around june
Monaga, had the 45th draga, capone-n-noreaga
The saga, sega, mega, network and bodega
Dream marvelous, scandelous, black mantis
Illegal life is like my aerolight,
We be your light, hustle night to life
Desert storm, and cold form on your norm
Run through, hard-boil you like john woo
The law we hate, drop a cake cut like mix tape
Spoil coke plate, you buying fake weight
The next state, contemplate and score jake hesus
Conduce, claim bishop in juice, bloody up your goose
Now who screamed for truce, lefrak is iraq
Illegal life contract, keep 'em back, load up the big macs
[havoc] chorus 2x
[capone] we hate the law, escalated war with jake, raise the crime rate
Criminal minds regulate the tri-state,
The legacy it never end, illegal life veteran salute
Get loot and stay true, corupt jake make it happen
Snatch 'em catching o z's, put the game on freeze
Dedicated hustling won't stop regardless
Whatever charges, getting the dough til you go,
Observation, direct sale, connects giving, reaching for ceiling
On the streets again, wild born, the enemy became your best friend
Meet the game closer, maped out many ways to get rich
[havoc] ay yo, for real crime pays
[capone] 9 6 the deal, we real about this cheddar, forever
Corner standing, in any weather, heat holding you down
Controlling your ground, stick-up kids come around
And taste the pound, cnn, put our soul on the line
For this life of crime, 2 5 forever shine
[tradegy khadafi] 9 6 stay hungry, son collect roughly
While the streets change, me and my man remain tough (ly)

[havoc] chorus 2x: we hate the law so we make(break) it
Loyal to this life there's no way to escape it
You either make it or you take it,
If the game's in you, dedicated stay true
Illegal life
[tradegy khadafi] c a p o n e with me, pappy, hav and pee,
Tradegy khadafi, n o y d, a man and me
On some mobb shhh, spark up cigar shhh
Cubans sit back jack, my niggas smoke dat
Generate, be the coke razor on a coke plate
Back up the crime son, and try to see a triple double
And get my loot back on a time table,
Ay yo it's cnn, you soon to see us on cable
At the round table, networked through the label
[havoc] illegal life, illegal life, illegal life
Illegal life, illegal life, illegal life

L.a. l.a. big city of dreams
But everything in l.a. aint always what it seems
You might get fooled if you come from outta town
Cuz we comin from queens and gets down

Jose-luis gotcha holdin guns in tons
General, emanual rock emerald
Government out to get me, tryin to stick me
Move quickly, yo the god study swiftly
Indian style, knees bent, hands together
Regulate, drama kickin like east state
Money to make, 1st of the month son chop the wait
Break the law and gotta score like before
Armageddon, mary-tree smoke wettin
If thats jeddy, shoppin sprees are ready

My crew in the front got it lock
My live niggas in the back got the gat
So were true to this black
4-4 like some more
1 to the dome, lubricate your thoughts
Black mask stole the ride to avoid up north
Jeopardize my freedom, blink out when i see you
But nine out of ten niggas wouldnt wanna be you
Rob him for his cash and spend it like
B-diem(echo)
Ah-yo the rap shit is ill
Kid you make mad dough but still
Hit your crew off it aint slink-real
Show some love kid aint no selfish shit here

Chorus: repeat 4x

Im in too deep, losin sleep i can't call it
In love wit this drug shit, loyal and all for it
Whats a nigga to do? wit no cash at 22
Take it, or find the best way to make it fast
My mans rakin cash, fuck bein lieutenant
Im in it to win it so it might just take a minute
To gain grams, put my game plan in action
Ways to make it happen, to days to get the jack-son
Once the weight comes, i'm outta state triple sums
Count my funds, i got guns that cripple sons
What's the use of heat, wit no dough to flee the streets
Caught a trace of no chaser and your dead meat
Legal aid type of rider, have you shppied in greens
10 thou for a lawyer now who splits your cream
Game is deeper than the sea itself
Agile moves to make fragile crews deflate under pressure
Take it to the next measure wit all pleasure
And stack treasure....illegal life forever

Yeah all together, like a butter soft leather

Been on this planet for 25 years and still strong
The worlds rotten like the veins in my fathers arm
I remain calm, study isalm, read the torah
World goin in flames like sodom and gomora
Niggas dried up
Layin in the box from the virus
Commercial thugs tried to bust gats at the livest
Its like in crime, only will shine real survivors
Yall hallf-way niggas, i'd advise you not to try this
So brace yourself before you get yourself laced
Fuckin wit them sick arabic scarface
La ellah illa allah illa allah
Your fuckin wit the god
Escumar asdubar
Official, my missle rips through your bone gristle
Why you sneak leavin niggas get locked and blow the whistle
For the jake, my mouthpiece remains my new
Team made my bail, scooped me in the lex-coupe
Now i'm out back to the galaxy of queens
Live between the crimes scenes
Servin fans like fiends....fiends....fiends....
So it seems

Yo, eternally
The game reverse and burn me
My man turn states and took the 1 to 3
Snitchin on me, how could it be we was team
I guess it got divided by the cream
Fbi, raided my crib where i live
Snatch my wife, child welfare took my kids
Yo i can't live
I got hit wit double life bid
From the stress, my head throbbin like a tumor
Its 1 o'clock niggas are lock i catch shuma
Lay down my towel slide off my suede pumas
The rumors spread around the jail like that
Been down for 6 joints holdin down this flat
Latin kings do they things, ice pick for gats
Tryin to lay my garbody gats all on they back
But never that....

Yo..q-b-c, 2-5 and mobb deep
Mami rest in peace
Its allah
One love to that nigga marley marl
