[Interlude: AZ]
AZ, hahaha, new drink, Baileys and Henny
You ain't got no Henny? Get the Remy
You ain't got the Remy? Any cognac'll do
Smooth criminal shit, baby
Verse: [Half-A-Mil]
Keyser Söze intention
Glide in a Hummer wit' the flyin' saucer engine
Willied out, at my crib in the winter havin' cookouts
Smack my Wis', look out!
I'm like Barnabas, crab niggas tryin' to conquer us
They mad 'cause we jump outta cabs and hop on the bus
Coppin' dust, Firm Clique rock the whole Metropolis
Bitches who burn dick won't put a stop to us
Niggas who...
[Intro: AZ]
See, this is what I mean
When we come together like this, incredible things take place
See, we connect thoughts to collect shorts
And only the strong survive
I love my black people, we are the future
[Nina Simone sample]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
[Verse 1: AZ]
Chop the pie up four ways, get lyed up
Infiltrate, never violate, get tied up
It's all a chess game, choose sides, the best remains
True Lies, vibes die when bums infest the game
Bogus shit shots, you broke and let your man get locked
I live this hip-hop, stock the bank, let the Crist' pop
Peep the next shit, push a big Benz, fuck a Lexus
The streets was hectic, so I stacked and made my exit
More dough to get focused, my thoughts for me to go legit
Ferocious shit, cop a huge castle on a ocean cliff
Imagine that, a few years back, I was baggin' cracks
Magnum gats, playin' street corners, committin' savage acts
Twistin' up, nothin' but love for niggas sittin' up
Hold your own, try comin' home without gettin' touched
Two for one, laws made foul how they do the young
Was new to come, tried to tell shorty he should've threw the gun
{"Black is the color of my true love's hair"}
[Verse 2: Half-A-Mil]
Knowledge the green Wallys, all I see
My mind hold math like caller ID
Chose the path that chose me
I'ma tell you like G-O-D told me
Greed, lust, hate and envy, sweet dust from shanty
Keeps us from simply unifyin', organizin'
We all are fallin' when we think we all are risin'
We pop Cris' on the horizon, topless chicks with thick thighs and
I rather be civilizin', enterprisin', improvisin'
Temperature risin', Elohim gave me the guidance
Told me, "Leave those 85ers alone, blend with the wise men"
That bought 80G stones, twin Mercedes on homes
Fuck it, just spend 10G's alone on chrome
When I die, they'll take my chromosomes and clone clones
208 bones, microchip kids, we most dominant
You know what time it is, that's why I exist
Jump out of limo, lands, fire at the place
Why are scientists supplyin' this Leviathan, why this?
I'm survivin' this quiet tribalness
Finalist year 2000 flyin' the whips
9 cent, mind bent, 1999 rhyme alignment
{"Black is the color of my true love's hair"}
[Verse 3: Nature]
We went from arraignments to entertainment
24/7 the same shit, playin' the strip, livin' dangerous
Bottle after bottle soon became a ritual
The patterns we follow, others found 'em difficult
I guess it's obvious as to what my hobby is
The root of all evil pollute same niggas body kids
Gettin' caught up, the same gang that left 'em all stuck
I reminisce on VS touchin' my fourth cup
Me, my only problem is I'm all fucked
Knowin' in my heart I can't sleep 'til I bust off nuts
Weave religion for all my niggas that beat the system
And those bitten sittin' since ColecoVision
Y'all need to listen, it's journalistic
Y'all hear the whispers, the niggas in The Firm is twisted
Spit that fly shit that earn the bitches
Whip the chrome 6 up the FDR, it's bless we are
See, I never let them stress me, God, forever stress-free
While twistin' up logs of that Nestlé
Who are you to question me?
It's just my destiny to kick back, kill time and live successfully
[Outro: AZ]
Firm, how y'all want it, huh? Haha
Talk to me, we give it to y'all either way
We workin' wit' y'all, this is for you
Love is Love, '98, Firm shit
