Squeeze these cos we're gettin paid by the g's wit ease (word up)
We're blowin up your fuckin spot (no doubt)

My advice is you better learn a trade
Before you kick a rhyme and end up fuckin gettin sprayed
I keep you open like you're fuckin sessin me
You're just a pest of me, you'll never get the best of me
Cos justa me, the k-to-r-a-z-y

Chorus (x14)

Verse 3: dray, skoob

To the, aah, boom bang, my slang is mad thick

The books in reverse kicks a verse

To stomp an mc like grapes and then scrape em with the boot
I bring swing to the ring like luke doover
Diggity-got land like a cruiser, pop duke he rip a cougar
For pages, i kick it raw til my jaw caves in
Amazin and plus off-beat like caucasians
Me get done? never son, i hold it down for 7-1-a
Where niggas fuck around and where niggas lay
Ain't nuttin slim, i got game like tim hardaway
Fouls like the proudest so i'm labbin in rca
Aw shit, i got you buggin, flippin that shit that you lovin
Plus i got another back in the oven
Some heard the style and then construction on it
But they just touching on it, bitch ass niggas ain't got nuttin for it
C'mon, broke my blocks or i'll blow ya spot
I rock like that bald-headed nigga on fox
(so how we do?) no shorts from niggas or they fuckin girl and (what you
Got?)
More styles than the last got served (no doubt)
So if you wit me and you're higher than a hippie, hold tight

Verse 1: dray, skoob

I be the man droppin the slang on your premises
We the menaces, clanging rappers like they're genesis
Now what the hell is this i heard you wanna see this

You can't defeat us so just back up off the metaphor
The boogie banger tell me what the hell's the art for?

Yiggity yeah
The sooky-sooky, bringin it from the sewer it's the boogie bang
Use to kick the rookie slang, critics wonder "could he hang?"
Drop my first joint and made the whole world flip
Next trip, critics that wasn't wit it popped lip (like what?)
"nigga eat dat and nigga eat dis"
But fuck, nigga need that, get off my nigga, eject

Chorus

Verse 2: skoob, dray

*?miggity mog?* it's the prince of darkness here to spark this
Riggity mic, my target's the underground market
I be the rapper and chief, the editor etcetera
The miggity mad dred night predator
Cos all the time, nigga's be frontin in their rhymes
Claimin to represent the bastards, missin classes, doin time
But when i come thru they be like "oooh look, the man!"
Shakin niggas down like the earth shook japan

Well all i need is my 40, some buda and my timbs
My biggity black benz with them 19 inch rims
I gotta maintain and at the same time i watch my ass
The cash, cos any fuckin day could be your last
I took a breather now we snipin off the roof
We back up in the booth and gettin busy off the 100 proof
Of vodka, i rock a rhyme just for the thrill of it
Cos when i'm spillin it i'm fillin it, check how i'm killin it

Chorus

Verse 3: dray, skoob

But a'time i write a rhyme i takes some time to make it rougher
So suffer, y'know it's me the nicotine puffer
I miggity made this for the snitches, cos for the riches
We never changing faces like them two singin bitches
So hold it down for '95 or youse a goner
Big up to all my peoples on corner puffin marijuana

I briggity break the dame, we roll the game
In '92 wit my crew, ain't a thing changed
But the styles, the miles on the jeep, the beamer
The drawers on my ass, the erb grass got greener
My knocker plus be droppin the skills off the top a
The dome for my peoples in the sewer, yo i got ta....

Chorus (x2)

Verse 1:

Well biggity bang boom bamma, your robby, bustin my grandmother like
Cherries

Now is it just me or is it you too?
But all i wanna do is spark a blunt and drink some fuckin brew (me too
Nigga)
The weed smoker, mc provoker
No joker, my style be doper cos it fat like oprah
Take a toke and blow the smoke like a dragon
Timberland boots'll keep my fuckin jeans saggin
Pour out my liquor, bust some niggas that we missin
It's just a tradition, the 40 keep me drunk and pissin
This ain't the mission, easy rider's got to go (c'mon)
We're only smokin phillies, white owls or optimols
We've got the flows that are better with every letter
I keep it wetter, niggas better get they shit together
To raise the lever cos we're never goin out
So if you didn't know when, nigga this what we about (boy)
We about uhh

Chorus:

A 40 and a blunt (you know my steelo)
A 40 and a blunt (you know, you know my steelo)

A 40 and a blunt (you know my stee, you know my steelo)
*repeat*

Verse 2:

Ashes to ashes and blunt to blunt
See i fill em with thai or i fill em with skunk (punk)

Check the glaze in my eyes, no disguise
And i smoke so much boom that i should win a fuckin heisman and wise like
The wise
I buys ten bags for dolo (and yo)
Sick of niggas askin "yo what up with k solo?"
Well i'ma fuckin bastard when it comes to gettin blasted
If it's the hashish then fuck that ole two-in-passion
Cos oh my god, i hog the blunt like a boss
Baby sip the 'orty til the 'orty get me source
Court forcin down with no shorts and no laws
When it's down to the spit like tela rocks and it's yours
Just take a hit a'time or wacked raps in your slits
So peep the cracks in my lips to the black fingertips
Nigga cos i crack you up like the riddler (word up)
Plus i come to get higher than hitler
Lay sessions with the skunk, keep my tape stretchin
From a section to niggas on lock in state correction
So when i'm in your town at a club near you (aiyo)
If you got the bomb. mtherfuckers bring it thru
How we do

Chorus to fade

Verse 1: dray

I iggity am what i am
I comes to get biz so bust the jam
I might not be the man but y'all i still proceed to slam, i cram
To understand why these rappers try to faze me
They must be crazy messin with the books and drayzie
Big-up to jersey and my people's out in el-a
Well-a hell-a can never cut the swell-a
Cos you can tell i gets biz like markie
No matter what the weather son you never wanna spark me
I'm kickin rhymes and gettin mines on the regular
See me in the black benz just blowin up the cellular
We high as shit, the sky is it
You know the sewer style yo is fly as shit
So grip (what?), you're cheap and buried cos you're never comin near it
So fear it when you hear it, cheer it but don't compare it
I still be schoolin, foolin em when i'm speakin
Kids be heapin, they love the way that we be freakin
My sewer style it cause disaster so when i ask
You better answer who's the microphone master

Hook (x4):

Miggity microphone master, super rhyme maker

Verse 2: skoob

Well yo, here's the humdinger, i'm briggity bringin a new style of thing
It's a rap singer with a fat flow, so low and behold
I higgity hold his mic piece for ransom
It's all about expanses, stocks of skunks, props and my pops get a mansion
By the age of 16, had dreams of big screens
Mad rubbers to keep my dick clean
Chrome tools in rent
And i only go downtown to buy jewels and tints
Jaboll, guess, ol' gold and sess
I check the mic 2-1 and chew gum to ease the breath
My style is wild like the cats of villanova
The heat on the street'll keep my 40's spillin over
So the skunk and thai keep me high when i'm smokin
And i don't sleep, just take naps with one eye open
See i believe the beaded weed in me is feedin me
The inspi-ration to riggity rock the nation
From white folk to haitian, ???? jamaican
Burn mc's like degrees of mason because you're fakin
I'm on point, exclamation with the caper
The flavor misbehaver from the super dooper rhyme maker

Hook (x4)

Verse 3: skoob, dray

I got to give a siggity shout to my mans, my fans at the shows
Friends, foes, stiggity stunts and hoes
Drats! i'm friggin to ride the fat, ooh shit!
My crew is shake, rattle and roll thick
Thicker than your blunt cos yo i be's the brooklyn trooper
And i got more spunk than that punk from punky brewster
Bust the lingo ringo stiggity starr bingo
I run shit like kunta, breaks bones like mandingo
I'm starstruck like starbuck, the bad bro is mad though
I'm all that small cat like tomko or hasbo
I have no figgity fear yeah, it's me and mines
Masters of the microphone, makers of the super rhymes

Yo, well yo the shit sound clever, i'm clown for whatever like nuttin nice
Big-up to dj dice wreckin shop when he cut 'n' slice
These 20 mc's, please! i never heard of some
We need to murder some like colin ferguson
But now ya heard us from the under so feel the thunder
Ya best ta come clean like j-rule and *?felix sunder?*
I'm buggin like gristle, see i suggest you
Dismiss you, my style's official and that's the issue
I show the flow i go until it's time to leave
Believe i'm packin more rhymes up my sleeve

Hook to fade

Yo it's the slick fuckin trick-tight nigga from the heights again
I'm gettin nice again as the pussy's like *?micalin?*
So i pretend to be somethin that you ain't
You got me laughin til the fuckin bank'll bust, i'll do ya somethin sick
I'm bad to the bone, gnaws at the gristle
Puttin the squeeze on niggas so (what?) fuck mr whipple
If you live along my end, yeah baby girl i might tickle (c'mon)
I drink gold e like fred d drank the ripple
Word to god, niggas wanna play hard rap-a-dosis
That shit got to go, i cock back, shot the flow pow!
Caught, now hook em to the respirator drip
The shit bag to his hip while he vision in the escalator
Now play the humble in the tunnel with the bright light
At the end of it, word is bond, time to end this shit

Chorus:

Here we go
Here we go yo, time to get dumped
Yeah that's how it is yo and that's how it go
*repeat x3*

Well guess who's next up to flex, no need to introduce
We're holdin down the spot just like the pimps that wanna 40-deuce
So here's the story, kid you bore me, don't ignore me
You're gettin killed in my territory (word up)
You think ya clever son but you're never son
Gonna get a chance to fuckin call me like edison
I think ya better run cos i'm comin at'cha
And what the fuck you gonna do when i catch ya
Ya little bastard ya get the last hit
When i blast it you're gonna end up in a fuckin casket
I kicks the mad shit, i come to show the flow
You're fuckin with a pro but yo i guess by now ya know, so

Chorus

Well now i got you niggas stumblin, i see you fumblin, kill the mumblin
Cos when i'm on the track i'm never wacked when i be rumblin
Like dis, like dat, i'm fatter than the fattest
Niggas wish they had this, they know my style's the fuckin baddest
You got the saddest but yo you're just a pussy
My fuckin girl'll make you do the wa-toosie
You need protection when in my section
With the injection, the number one in my fuckin collection
I blast off like a rocket, so don't knock it
Til you try it, i come deep like a riot
Ya can't deny it, i keep it on lock
A 40 and a blunt motherfucker and you don't stop
I'm on the scene with the nicotine puffer
I gut ya clean and make ya fuckin spleen rupture
Nice with the ways is the dazed axe nigga
I know a lotta rap figures and pushin-crack niggas
Perhaps wacked niggas need to play the back step
I got styles with days but styles ain't even hatch-ed
I'm super fly hatin but never violatin
We use to smoke a pound a week but now we're gettin higher lately
Rhyme-sayers need prayers cos sniper's gettin hot
When you make the sign of the cross, x marks the spot
Ill clips to my ribs with my niggas to the side
3-80 stash in the 3-25
Oops i'm at the eight now, bees think i push
More rock than mr slay, i'm fat like ricki lake

Chorus

Here we go
Here we giddo, time to get diddo
That's how it is yo, axe how we go

Here we go
Here we go, time to get dough
That's how it is yo, axe how we go

Here we go
Here we go yo, time to get dough
That's how it is yo, that's how we go

Here we giddo, time to get diddo
That's how it is yo, act like we kniddow

Niggas niggas nowadays yo

Verse 1: dray

Well yo, they used to say that dray was a motherfuckin bum
Cos when it came to profit, son i really wasn't gettin none
The wilest motherfucker that you ever saw
They used to call me petey wheezthrow, the devil's son-in-law
Now i'm in the shit, like a fly i was buggin
From robbin to stealin to dealin, yo, and even muggin
Sellin cocaine in the high school halls
Playin it slick i kept the balms up in some tennis balls
I used to run across the bridge with my peeps
I packed a tray-8, in dem days i was playin for keeps
I used to roll around my hat and all day
Lookin for a prey that we could rob on broadway
Stickin niggas for their jewels if they're worthy
Made a couple of hits and then we jetted back to jersey
'86 and '87 was the year
Had the gucci hat, rock the rac-coon fur coat yeah
Keep em in disguise and nigga don't ya blink
See yeah saturday, we robbed another nigga at the rink
The beats was always showin up at my rest
Askin "does a certain drayzie live at this address? yes?"
The spot was hotter than the sun, without a doubt
I had the choice to go to school and get the fuck out!
I hit the south just like a bandit cos i was stranded
Virginia state in '88, you know that's where i landed
I couldn't stand it, shit was feelin strange
I made it outta range but yo, my shit was just about the dough

Chorus:

Aiyo, niggas just can't have nuttin ( yo niggas just can't have nuttin)
Niggas just can't have nuttin (niggas just can't have nuttin)
Niggas just can't have nuttin (niggas just can't have nuttin)
Niggas just can't have nuttin (nowadays yo)
*repeat x2*

Verse 2: skoob

Yo bust a move, peep the flav
Cos i'ma take you back to the days of brown envelope trays
Twenty-something years ago as i proceed to recollect
A newborn shorty had to 'ford cheques off bushwick
Bless the days, pops shot to get forth the *?vock?* and fifth
Damn, fam got to shift
From the tenth flo' down four flights to the sixth
This was around the time smokin reefer was the shit
But now the crib a little bigger
I was the first man in the fam so it's plans for a nigga
Had my clan from my building and my man from 8-11
Wit me when we hit the jams behind 2-57
Mom's babysittin, pop's on the hustle
54 block was on lock, bust a knuckle
Game rip, some niggas slipped and got greedy
Believe me, another "rest in peace" in graffitti
But i couldn't resist a few fights and petty heists
Cos now i'm 'cross town in the heights
My nights are a little quieter but still amongst the schemes for the fun
Where sons run guns and blow slums with the dums
And motherfuckers don't care
I love the street game so i stashed the green leaf by the air
You couldn't tell me shit, evil was more eager than a beaver
Kept it fresh, double-parked in the caesar
But i got deceased with this behaviour-type flavor
And do moms a favour, go to school and get this fuckin paper
So what's the caper cos now i'm all in
At virginia state, now let the bullshit begin

Chorus:

Nowadays niggas just can't have nuttin' (niggas just can't have nuttin')
Niggas just can't have nuttin' (yo niggas just can't have nuttin')
Niggas just can't have nuttin' (niggas just can't have nuttin')
Niggas just can't have nuttin' (niggas just can't have nuttin' yo)
Niggas just can't have nuttin' (niggas just can't have nuttin' yo)
Niggas just can't have nuttin' (niggas just can't have nuttin')
Niggas just can't have nuttin' (nuttin', nuttin', nuttin', nuttin')
Nowadays niggas (niggas just can't have nuttin')

Verse 3: dray, skoob

It was '89 and yo, i'm stayin out of fights
I'm runnin with this nigga named books from crown heights
Gettin toe-up from the flow-up, we're drinkin til we throw up
We're thinkin we can blow up so to class we wouldn't show up

Well nigga so what? you fucked the holdup and went whatevers
Then bucked the leathers, son i got to get my shit together
Gettin drunk, gettin flunked in class is what's the function
Smokin blunts-in, son we need to stop frontin

We're goin huntin, virginia didn't have shit for us
That's why we broke out with dice and blitzed into blue chorus
Gettin busy, flippin rhymes on the weekend
The deal we was seekin from styles we was freakin

But yo, now it's '91 and me and son we got to scram
(aiyo it was a rap contest, nuttin we couldn't handle)
And yo, something got ta happen or i'ma get tha pappin
We got tha blueprints to this new style of rappin

Packin skills from the sewer, i knew we had a shot
Gotta go and blow the spot and show them niggas how we rock, what?
If pmd is judgin it, yeah the cautious crew
Makin all that money on that business as usual

(tip tip tip) tip, we flip the tongue and started wilin
They hit us with the digits to the cribs in long island
So, we packed the henny and my men we got swayz
And never lookin back, that's how we thinkin nowadays

Chorus:

Cos yo niggas just can't have nuttin' (niggas just can't have nuttin' yo)
Word up niggas just can't have nuttin' (niggas just can't have nuttin')
Nah niggas just can't have nuttin' (niggas just can't have nuttin')
(yo that's why they got me rockin on the microphone)
Niggas just can't have nuttin' (yo niggas just can't have nuttin')
Niggas just can't have nuttin' (have nuttin', just nuttin')
Nowadays niggas didn't have nuttin' (niggas just can't have nuttin')
Niggas just can't have nuttin' (niggas just can't have nuttin')
(well now they got me rockin on the microphone)
(niggas just can't have nuttin')
Niggas just ain't (got a motherfuckin thing)
Nowadays (word up) niggas ain't got nuthin'
