And as a special treat evening I have America's foremost young poet To his latest poem for us
Ladies and gentlemen, Everybody, him Ladies and gentlemen, We, we, we a long way
Ladies and gentlemen, watch him Ladies and gentlemen,
Yo, yo, yo and crime, the thugs slingin' powder and dimes Twenties of D, is yo' niggaz wilder than My niggaz bust nines, puff lye and stick up For shine, you resist, then you push up flowers
I'm like Lou Cabrasi, Vito's hit-man Godfather shit, back seat, next lit plans Revolvers spit, I'm too tough to with And you don't want the God to up the cars that's sick
Arms and wrists is lit up, Kings Plaques applause when I do my thing is black as midnight, the concrete gray With of blood and germ and piss all day
Come on the ave, get sized up, plus Duck and that my guns don't bust your way Niggaz with names, livin' off Sometimes remind you ain't nothin' changin'
Ladies and gentlemen, Everybody, him
If you ill, come get me, I ain't runnin' If your gun's off the then we'll both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, 'cause I ain't all fair in love and war and I'm well prepared
If you ill, come get me, I ain't runnin' If your gun's off the hook we'll both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, I ain't scared It's all fair in love and we can it there
You don't like me Now, you wanna take me down? If I bring my around, you gon' do what? You butt Your crew knew I blew up, I been shinin', baseball Dick for your chick lings
Niggaz know what my nine handle's about Fuck you, say girlie mouth? Get it krunk the Dirty South And I you see me flossed out, multi mill i Hear your bitch about me, you give her the cold eye?
dig you, imagine what she feel for me? You make hot songs, but she know you steal me Who ill as me? I wild on in album three Next level, I take y'all to 3-D
find a nigga shook from Queens I'll be the most grimy killers (What nigga?) And they all clean Who put bombs underneath cars, if you want then start Your stop is to the graveyard
If you ill, get me, 'cause I ain't runnin' If your gun's off the hook then we'll both be Come get me if you real, I ain't scared It's all in love and war and I'm well prepared
If you ill, come get me, I ain't runnin' If your gun's off the hook then both be gunnin' get me if you real, 'cause I ain't scared It's all fair in and we can take it there
You too feminine to kill again, jail got you You talk but you scared to go up North Keep your face twisted, but you don't really nuttin' Talk a of shit motherfucker and stop frontin'
You wanna flip again, and sell drugs again Be on the run again, catch you at the Inn up your door, bust in on you and your whore Put y'all in bags, the blood off of the floor
So play tough, I want to get out of line I got nines, every shape and design I killers every race to put one in your spine Two in your ear, get your crew, who do I never get involved and none of em dyin'
I think like you do, with about two irons me flyin', high in the aircraft winin' And dinin', you die, we laugh, you bitch ass You bitch ass to gauze up, your wounds
While I'm head, in a Lear jet, bathroom all my goons, all my ice, and suitcases Full of paper, not money it's bank The Illmatic that how we rock Yachts and co-ops, we buy the hood and sell you a
If you ill, come get me, I ain't runnin' If your gun's off the hook then we'll both be Come get me if you real, I ain't scared It's all fair in and war and I'm well prepared
If you ill, come get me, 'cause I ain't If your gun's off the hook then we'll both be Come get me if you real, 'cause I ain't It's all in love and we can take it there
