Shook Ones, Part I (Original Version)

The most violent of the violentest crimes we give life to If these Queensbridge kids don't like you We bring drama of the worst kind of enemies Your first time will be your last Earth memories It's only your own fault, I gave you fair warning Beware of killer kids who don't care Unaware fools will be dealt with in time It ain't a mystery how I form the words in rhyme In nineteen hundred and ninety square All shook niggas is supposed to have fear Tryna get a piece of this pie, we don't share Prepare for the worst 'cause I been there Try to keep a positive mind and walk a straight line don't work So niggas is forced to do dirt And God made dirt, so this dirt won't hurt If I listen to the lessons and the rules I learnt On these streets for 19 years and not leaving My first priority's to reach 21 breathing Forever beef, nobody will ever be even So I grab the heat before breezing Lost in this foul mind state, I can't keep straight thinkin' But I keep my eyes on the Earth without blinking It's hard to be a man in this land of the venom Any man try to front, he get slugs in him Because- He ain't a crook son (son) He just a shook one (shook one) We live the life that of diamonds and guns And numerous ways that we choose to earn funds Some niggas get shot, locked down and turn nuns Cowardly hearts and straight up shook ones (shook ones) He ain't a crook son He just a shook one (shook one) For every rhyme I write, it's 25 to life To all my peoples in the Bridge know what I'm talking 'bout, right?

No time to dwell on that 'cause my brain reacts Front if you want nigga Lay on your back, I don't fake jacks kid You know I bring it to you live Stay in a child's place, kid you outta line Criminal minds thirsty for recognition mission I'm strictly sipping E&J like got my mind flippin' I'm bugging digging my ways out of holes by hustlin' Get that loot kid You know my motherfucking function 'Cause long as I'm alive, I'ma live illegal And once I get on, I'ma put on all my peoples React quick, spit lyrics like MACs I hit Your dome up, when I roll up Don't be caught sleeping 'cause I'm creeping You just a shook one He ain't a crook son He just a shook one We live the life that of diamonds and guns And numerous ways that we choose to earn funds Some niggas get shot, locked down and turn nuns Cowardly hearts and straight up shook ones (shook ones) He ain't a crook son He just a shook one (shook one) We live the life that of diamonds and guns And numerous ways that we choose to earn funds Some niggas get shot, locked down and turn nuns Cowardly hearts and straight up shook ones (shook ones) He ain't a crook son (crook son) He just a shook one (shook one) Yeah Mobb Deep Mobb Deep Mobb Deep Mobb Deep
