NYCHA (feat. Nas)

We livin' life like we stars

Constantly medical come right out them jars

Deserve a medal for surviving these scars

I'm duckin' trifling broads

The gun store ain't seen a rifle this large

Computer thugs, you **** typin' too hard

We backspace and delete a ****

Them a-list parties, I never see them ****

That weed and liquor blurry your vision

You'll never see the picture

Don't be defensive, L told me, "****, just be consistent"

From little seams is splitting, **** change, you see 'em different

Aim for the top though, first class plane to Morocco

The change came, I ain't changed, I might cop a Picasso

I'm after bags, I'm eating crabs on blocks they will not go

These **** sad and you could smell it on me, I am not broke

Roll up the Nitro, only coppin' coke when the price low

In the Maybach, told the driver follow where all these bikes go

Learn survival before you meet your idols, far as I know

This pistol my insurance, ain't no need for callin' Geico

Take you to kitchens where they actually cook

Nobody knew you then, you had to get booked

Shoot at the car, hit the driver, now the passenger shook

This pack just came in from Cali, I ain't passin' this Kush

Remember sittin' in the court, like "Damn, I'm back in these cuffs"

From having arguments with smokers, I ain't have enough dust

Early morning, fifty baggies, hit the ave in a rush

We tryna get it, might do credit, just don't ask for too much

Hunnids we touch

New York City Housing Authority

Honor me, property of the ghetto

Choppers poppin', I should receive a medal for survivin'

If you snooze, sleep with your snub nose

I did receive a medal from Harvard and rose above those

Obstacle courses where cops and shots'll stop you

From reaching your full potential

You dream, and life'll pinch you

This with no sheet of paper, no pen or pencil, straight off the mental

Off the fly, often they falsify what they been through

I'm on that old flyness, slidin' in Benz's

Mindin' my business, my time is expensive

My dogs locked down, they survivin' through pictures

We wish we could break the bars, the law is extensive

My mind gotta be twisted

You dealin' with sickos, psychos, po, nine, twelve

Teflon vest for your chest in this hell

He wear beads on his neck to cast away the spells

And tattoos of his loved ones that they restin' well

I could take you to kitchens where they actually cook

Nobody knew you then, you had to get booked

Shoot at the car, hit the driver, now the passenger shook

This pack just came in from Cali, I ain't passin' this Kush

Remember sittin' in the court, like "Damn, I'm back in these cuffs"

From having arguments with smokers, I ain't have enough dust

Early morning, fifty baggies, hit the ave in a rush

We tryna get it, might do credit, just don't ask for too much

Hunnids we touch

I been rushing lately, the jungle crazy

On 10th Street, leaning heavy I pass the gun to Shady

My shorty want me, twin ,40's on me, I'm touchin' 80

Ten thousand cash on me daily I must be fuckin crazy

The ladies love me lately

Butter Mercedes, Parkay with a touch of gravy

That's brown seats, the motto is still "Fuck you, just pay me"

My neighbor addicted to water, he stuck in the Navy

Same block where you could lose your life, I be comfortable, baby

My bitch is way badder than yours, tell me, why would I stare?

Never dying my hair, I wake up, get high as Aaliyah

You lookin' at me too long, **** die for a stare

Drano said he like them Giuseppe's, I'ma buy him a pair

I'ma run my city to the point I get high with the mayor

This ain't Rockefeller but we formin' a dynasty here

Triangle, smoke choke 'em, I watch them guys strangle

Lost five of my closest, now I know I got five angels

I could take you to kitchens where they actually cook

Nobody knew you then, you had to get booked

Shoot at the car, hit the driver, now the passenger shook

This pack just came in from Cali, I ain't passin' this Kush

Remember sittin' in the court, like "Damn, I'm back in these cuffs"

From having arguments with smokers, I ain't have enough dust

Early morning, fifty baggies, hit the ave in a rush

We tryna get it, might do credit, just don't ask for too much

Hunnids we touch
