Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's the dynasty ****

As promised

The world's most infamous

Roc-a-fella records

This is Roc La Familia

It's Young Hova

Beanie Sigel

Memphis Bleek

Amil-lion

It's the dynasty ****

Two thousand to infinity

This is ghetto to ghetto

Gutter to gutter

Street corner to street corner

Project to project

Worldwide

Walk with us ****

Hoffa, Dash

It's the dynasty ****

Check it out

Uh, walk with me

Talk to me

Yeah

[Verse 2]

The theme song to the Sopranos

Plays in the key of life on my mental piano

Gotta strange way of seeing life like

I'm Stevie Wonder with beads under the do-rag

Intuition is there even when my vision's impaired, yeah

Knowin' I can go, just switchin' a spare

On the highway of life

**** it's sharp in my sight, oh

Keen senses ever since I was a teen on the benches

Every time somebody like Ennis was mentioned

I would turn green, me, bein' in the trenches

Him, livin' adventurous, not worryin' 'bout expenditures

I'm bravin' temperatures below zero, no hero

No father figure, you gotta pardon a ****

But I'm starvin', my ****, and the weight loss in my figure

Startin' to darken my heart, 'bout to get to my liver

Watchin' my ****, I'm tryna be calm, but I'm gon' get richer

Through any means with that thing that Malcolm palmed in a picture

Never read the Qur'an or Islamic scriptures

Only psalms I read was on the arms of my ****

Tattooed, so I carry on like I'm non-religious

Clap whoever stand between Shawn and figures

**** say it's the dawn, but I'm superstitious

Shit is as dark as it's been, nothin' is goin' as you predicted

I move with biscuits, stop the harder **** actin' too suspicious

This is food for thought, you do the dishes
