I'm like Lou Cabrasi, Vito's hit-man That's shit, back seat, next lit plans spit, I'm too tough to bargain with And you don't want the God to pull up the that's sick
Arms and wrists is lit up, Kings awards applause when I do my thing Streets is as midnight, the concrete gray stains of blood and germ and piss all day
Come on the ave, get sized up, plus Duck and pray that my guns don't bust way Niggaz names, livin' off reputation Sometimes remind you ain't nothin' changin'
