I

[noreaga]

Can't stop thinkin of the game, y'know what'm mean? can't get the game out my
Mind. gotta get out the game tonight though, y'know what'm sayin? (aw, word)
It's damn time. this is real, y'know what'm sayin? growin up, (yeah) i did my
Little work. (what, what what, what) sold my little work. (what, what)
Y'know what'm sayin?

[verse one]

Yo, i grew up like the regular thug - sold drugs
Wasn't proud about it, but this is what i gotta do
I copped the jordan's, and the fi-la's, too
Yo, i loved the bo jackson's, the orange and blue
Used to snatch lee patches, now i wear cartier glasses
Thinkin that the earth's axis,
Revolves around my waist.. and how the fuck i feel
Yo i played ball for vince, yo i handled the pill
Then it dawned on me, came strong on me
I belonged with these, niggaz thuggin with me
So i switched crews, started rollin with the older dudes
Drinkin brews, did what they say, and paid dues
My hands dirty, trying to keep little lea
And got jerked, the first time i tried to re-up
People my age, tried to say slow my speed up
Cause i smoked bogies, staked on weed up

Chorus: [carl thomas] (noreaga)

I love my life (love my life, yo)
Sold drugs my life (did it all in my time)
Its my whole life (live it up)
I sacrificed (sacrificed twice)
This game we play (play for keeps)
I live and pray (control the streets)
Hear her say (yo, just live your life, baby, live your life,baby)
Ooo, yeah

[verse two]

These is the days of sparkin, i used to roll with rob profit
Troy outlaw, freddie bedrock, and joe wood
Runnin in timbo's ???, shine shoes
Section two, part of iraq i grew up at
Had to learn how to slapbox, instead of a gat
I never knew rap, all i knew was crack
Yo there's rules to this game, and people to blame
When you see another little brother doing the same
As you used to
Growing up like you
Palyin skully, with his heat out, cellular phone
Getting little drug money, but got the world sewn
I recall, cause he gonna die
Yo, i cry
It's hard to, get tarred up with god jewel, part two
Smily got shot up to (rest in peace)
Aiyyo, you realize that you miss a nigga (miss him)
When you realize (realize) that you never gonna see him again

Chorus

[verse three]

Aiyyo, its totally, up to the team, to me
So don't, make a move if you don't ask me
I'm, casually known, halfly blown
In miami, cause now uncle wise came home
Jello, copped me a role', copped them one, too
You keep it real with a person, keep it real with you
Use confidence, thugged out aimed for dominance
Nostradam' in this, he slits wrists just like ?glomerus?
??, grenad', iced out for tito
Puerto rico, we live life now cause we know
The other side of the fence stay friendly
Its just war in there, done, there ain't no henny
I can't live that, d

See a lot of niggas talking bout war, you understand what im saying, war,
But now as a nigga grow, he progreses and he has a lot more happier things
To talk about (more happy), jigga kick that shit

Yo you can catch norea
In l.a.
Wit mo bitches, and i tough titties some fly hoe's
Wit a pound double o's
B-12's extroidinary pushing a man wit (errrr) exquisite
Watch em lock, pivot
Move lemme get it
Straight dig in it
Penetrate till you get straight bo riddick
Half of ya friends said they aint see him, and him
From a.m. (m)
To p.m. (m)
Ill be chillen wit a hoe in the next b.m.
Yo i dodge fast
Cant mess wit es crack-heads
Back spreads
Purto rican's wit dreads
Yo ma masita
Im not virg just like the margarita
Guanamena, guantanamena
Jose its like juan, back at bia-bone
Born alone, die alone
Never known to cry alone
I hold it down till capone come home
I used to never drink, now im known to drink plenty
Cristal, henny, mo get me on the remmy
Packers sent me dolo, but i order beef semi
Dont make me and my click just down many
Guinesses
(whut) stay high like the blimpses
Nemesis, blow holes through the premisis


***chorus***
Noreaga: gettin hed in the whip, and not crashing it

Dead shit, got on some hed shit

Noreaga: gimme some hed

We dont fuck, still instead yo our click gettin hed
Then we hit the next state
In the next bitch bed
Its all fun to us
When we in the tour bus
Pola-tickin about which bitches we fucked
Same hoochie that same bitch tha happened in queens
Seeing lil bitches from the hood stripping in dreams
(whut) in it for once
Now toked out and smoke blunts
Then the pussie, still rock gold fronts
Turned out, no doubt
All tha sons showed her the route
Yo i did it all when i was fuckin wit the thugs
Traditional, plus a nigga pops sold drugs
Yo impeckable like the fuckin chinese rugs
Still sexual, bone'en bitches right in the clubs
Yo inadequate
Deep just like devil's advocate
I bless that, cnn shirt plus a guess hat
My whole click touched that bitch and carresed that


***chorus***
Noreaga: gettin hed in the whip, and not crashing it

A yo peep the verse
Cause iraq like strange universe
My chest glow, from the ice left in my gold
It was war when
We used buy weed from norven
Now we straight branch it out
Man shit out

Bitch four doors
Looken for yours
Victoria secret in draws
Yo i love hoes who long dick without asking
Wakeing up in the morning, hed action
Yo peep it
Nore wasn't always on some freak shit
Fell in love once wit this shortie on some weak shit
Name was nova
Im on like the iatola
Carani
Catch me wit the next mans ladie
Drinking don p. gettin bent crazy
Cristal is for the ones that only drink babies
Yo i love hoes in them g-strings and bow legged so help me god

See you noticed
Most hoes stay focused
Below the abdomen
Her bell on my scale when im stabbing it
And i bless you wit
Niggas take out yall small intestines, mad hoes get addicted
And get domestic
Mad cause i dont fuck em like i use to
Bone they ass like i used to
Cause now im used to, just gettin hed
Didn't want nothing hit the bed

[chorus x2]

[noreaga]
Yo, listen to me
Young thug this is some advice
You do a snake you be payin' the price
Catch you at the dice game
Blow you out the frame
Crack cheater, cause my niggaz is grimy
All we really luv is reffer
Iraq, the name alone got you shook back on the island
You got ya man hood took
But turn around when you walk through
Guns are hawk you, already took ya shit
No matter who you talk too
The 6 berra no take no deniro
No heat east elmhurst, haiser street
You feel the fury when you want that bust, handcuff
Wishing that you ain't locked up
Now you get tested, jake tell you when you get arrested
When you get there don't get molested
Yo call the c.o. that wont be necessary
They watch ya beat ya down and take ya conversary
My adversary donaldly dick, dynasty rich
My whole cliq got paid lawyers and rips
Gettin' locked up, fell down, no time for this
Aw, aw, aw when the gaged got caught in the car
Start the law, not trying to be a cold craft star
Yo, you might be illin', you might be wildin'
But you wont be smilin' on rikers island
Rikers island, iraq.

[chorus]
Rikers island, rikers island
(iraq island, iraq island)
Rikers island, rikers island
(iraq island, iraq island)
Rikers island, rikers island
(iraq island, iraq island)
Rikers island, rikers island
(iraq island)

[musolini]
Juveniles get shook and see 74
Mobb 2 ice grill when you walk through
Come through a fly cached tested for that
See where your heart at
That fly shit niggaz want that
Jerk on ya phone time
Sweet niggaz get robbed blind
Robbed for ya watch, robbed for ya shine
You better fake regimen
Them niggaz do alot of dead and let'em see ya sweatin'
And get pced out protection
The by shit cause cliqs sent renim
And have you cut up if you don't pay up
Crips and bloods all along with the caves too,
Business as usually, a bunch of criminals
Typical shit is critical, on a via a nigga rippin' you
A daily ritual, jail talk is pitiful
Not for every individual
I'm wit it and i wont go back
Niggaz mad cause i keep a stack
And don't talk crip nigga, word up.

[chorus]
Rikers island, rikers island
(iraq island, iraq island)
Rikers island, rikers island
(iraq island, iraq island)
Rikers island, rikers island
(iraq island, iraq island)
Rikers island, rikers island

[kool g rap]
See 74 adolescents now walk put ya hand to the floor
Ya hear nigga gettin' tall holey blaze galore
Tricks or ya fucking jaw to ya draw
See yo when i close watching you pour
How do you claws or how do i laws from taking yours
Contemplated or taking you down from at the door
Niggaz with cause leave you wit scars and open source
Soon as ya boor get a swore stuck in ya faloor
Sharpin' up 1 son and become quick draw mcgraw
Put up ya paws boors go why i saw the cause
Cause livin' shiesty could be pricely
Niggaz kidnappin' wify's while hearts cold as italian icy's
Now buck and a half slide across his face lace some nicely
You gottin' fiesty but where you stand is where the ice be
Forever your life be gone in the wind
Punching holes all in your abdomen
When the thug cats come with the stabbin'in the jury grabbin'in
Look out son they body slabbin'in while you was blabbin'in
Now know what the fuck is happenin'.

[chorus]

[noreaga] *debarge sings in background*

Y'know what i mean? this for the woman, y'know what'm sayin? coming up, just
Trying to get a nut. y'all really understand what we doing. ya know? y'all
Understand that we hurting y'all, y'all come attatched. it's all good. this
One for y'all, y'know what i mean? yo, ya know? its crazy. we all together.

[noreaga]

I used to cut pies, in front of my girl, now i apologized
The reason why: (my fault) she seen the red in my eyes
When i was cuttin it, feelin like the archives
Choppin it down, thinkin i'm, choosing my prize
Never hit the street with out my heat, boo, told me not to
Said, "paps, we know the jake 'ill try to knock you"
You do your thing, boo, i'll still be there, don't mean to knock you
I know its hard fuckin with a thug nigga like me
Thinkin would i get locked?
Come home tonight or not?
Black princess, kiss you when i see you
White women suntan and try to be you
The ?mellanin? in your skin, make it all see-through
Sometimes he hurt y'all, not understanding what we doing
Sweatin at the foul line like pat ewing
Yo from all the brothers
I dedicate to the mothers
My mother, grandmother of the earth
If it wasn't for women, then it wouldn't be birth
What, its all real

Chorus [chico debarge]

We're just some thug people (that's what we are)
That's what we are, trying hard to change the way we live
(change the way we live)
But we can't take back, cause thats what we are
Trying hard to change the way life we live

[noreaga]

Yo, yo, aiyyo, you got chronic? you got yours, i got mines
Lets get real high, light it all at the same time
Stop holdin, (hold it up) babe its your turn to roll it
I used to spend time outside with my dime
She be, rocking my chain, thinkin she shine
Straight beautiful, yo, i'm really glad that she mine
Kiss you on the forehead, cause yo, boo
This one for you
The stupid shit i did in the past, i didn't mean it
You know a nigga skinny, cause a nigga 'nemic
But when you cook, the way that it smell, the way that it look
Cause chef, plus you look good, that's off the hook
You go to school to
Sit back, or respect dude
Work you part-time, spendin your time around mine
I'm lovin you, thats why i wrote this rhyme
Flying in to bell harbor, when we need to shop
It's cartier, gucci, gaultier, shit won't stop!

Chorus

[noreaga]

Yo, its all good, i'm likin that two-hundred ?stand me?
It even flipped, when i was down in miami
Called me on my cell phone, jones like i'm still home
Tell me what your wearing girl, or what you look at pillin girl
Step into my life now, share my world
Thats what i like about you, you got faith in me
Be shining by yourself, with little lace with me
The only thing i love more, gotta be the kids
You got the real hair, while other chicks rock wigs
I can remember back then, quite distinctively
When you friends kept saying not to get with me
But you couldn't help it, i know the both of us felt it
The both us melt it, the both of us dealt with
The rumors and the lies, your eyes on dies
Is enough for a brother to cut off ties
To any other chick i used to mess with
Keepin it real, cause you the real one, that i wanna step with

Chorus - in background

This song right here, is dedicated to all of y'all, y'know what i mean? cause,
We know how we are, we know how we make y'all feel sometimes. knowing that we
Ain't doing it purposely. we're just being the person that we are. hanging
With the fellas, gettin jealous, y'know what i mean?you know what it is. this
One's for y'all.
Word up. i want y'all to tell all y'all girlfriends about this one

Chorus

Banned from tv
N.o.r.e
Moving
Shut the fuck up

[nature]
Ay yo, ay yo, regardless of rain or snow, sleet or hail
I kick street tales, choking niggas like i'm sprewell
Golden state, holding your fate in the palm of my hand
Blow you away like its part of the plan
I gotta call it like i see it, talk it like i be it
Walkin my walk, thugged out orthopedic
Cause i'm soon to be up, give me room watch me heat up
Niggas try to stick me like abdul lerima, follow the leader
Make me go extra hard, yo nore should i hold back or show the repirtore
Quit at 16 or throw in extra bars just for the non-believers
I show them why its so hard to reach us
I get pussy with my fathers features
Puff heavenly, see me at 6'1" weigh a buck 70
Catch me in spots yall niggas never be
Packed in like green bay
Harlem week to queens day
Performing acapella, no dj
98 live, no replays
Make it seem easy, so tell a friend to tell a friend
That its them again, nature noreaga, wild gremlins

[big pun]
Yo, yo, champagne on the rocks
Pour on the fort knox lazura
Shark salad with cabbage
Pork chops and applesauce
Twin connection, disrepect watch your body cave in
Pump the shotty guagin, hit the shorty while he potty training
I ain't playing, i'm truly the worst
Simply the first to get his whole body fully reversed
Uzi it hurts, leave you double-dead
I'ma a bubble-head, i never listen to nothing my mother said
Ay yo i hold niggas ransom for money
Like johhny handsome
Been sonning niggas for so long
I think i got a grandson
My passion is money, a stash and a honey
That won't ask questions but will blast anybody
Thats my kind of girl, kinda of world i want to live in
Not a cell or a prison or in hell's armageddon
Just a little ghetto
Where my niggas control the middle
We know the riddles of life where others know only a little

[cam'ron]
Yo, yo been in rich places, sick places
Seen my story on 6,666 pages
Wages, i wrote six aces
And at the same dice games, i caught six cases
All over big faces, now it's tipped laces
Ready to dig faces, but the bang it ain't
Bitch spaces, niggas loading up they rib cages
Cats like to rip places
Bloody lip tastes, but the cam is in big races?
But i stay in import the pig places
But the world know the girl though
I fuck her off a furlough
She'll be up, hook me up
All your sales could be luck
Only question for these ducks is
Baby girl can we fuck
You the type that need a wife
Thought l-o-x told yall the key to life
Asshole, yo i don't play around
I lay it down
Fuck around, i spray around
Flick a biscuit, nigga risk it
My ass, you can kick or kiss it

[the lox]
Ain't no niggas in the world more thorough than this
(bust off) and sit the hot barrel dead on your lips
Like 2 thirds of a brick (penaro and kiss)
And kiss the crystal white fluffy part in the back of a whip
See the plan is to stash all, and cash yall
The weed so strong, they gotta put it glass jars
Niggas try to smoke me out, mope me out
Cuz the rims on my new joint be poking out
I'm about to have no feelings
Shit is deep, do they dance with the devil when they sleep
I wake up gripping the air, wishing the hit
Shit that they kick in ya ear
When your soul be drifting in air
My gift is half-rotten when i spit it tears
That shit'll drop down my eye, i'm too tired to cry
And i ain't never seen a nigga that too live to die
They say you get what you ask for, so get it cuz you asked for it
If a nigga ain't a thief, then he better have the cash for it
And we gonna be around til ya body rott
And if the feds bring us in we get the same time gotti got

What!what! what! what!

[noreaga]
Yo,yo! ay yo, there's two ways into the hood, one plain
The other smoke chronic like straight to the brain
Ay yo lets get loose, hennesey straight, with tomato juice
Queens stallion, my guns, fully italian
Now yall niggas recognize medallions
I play the best hood, o-t with tim westwood
Used to be on section 8, now my section is good
Thugged out niggas, we eat as much as we could
And i don't give a fuck what! yo i save my shit
And i don't give a fuck what! you can save your shit
Yall niggas like extra skin on my dick
Listen to bob marley, you funny niggas like steve harvey
Frontin live with a weak army
I play the nice guy too, i'll smoke wit you
But the realness, i ain't got no love for you
Thats why i never do a song with you
Not even if your babies mom fucked the crew
And promised to give us head and swallow too
I still say no, no is no, no can doe
Ya niggas drinking henneray, drinking my flow
Yo, thug shit thug shit what what
What the fuck is the deal
Thugged out entertainment
Untertainment
L-o-x
Terror squad
This shit is fucking official
