Woah-oh

Woah-oh

Woah-ohLike the beginning of Mean Streets, you could

Like the beginning of Mean Streets, you could

Like the beginning of Mean Streets, you could

I′m prolific, so gifted

I'm the type that′s gon' go get it, no kiddin'

Breaking down a Swisher front of yo′ building

Sittin′ on the steps feeling no feelings

Last night, it was a cold killin'

You gotta keep the devil in his hole, nigga

But you know how it go, nigga

I′m front line every time it's on, nigga

Hunnid proof flow, run and shoot pro

458 drop, playing "Bullet Proof Soul"

Every few shows, I just buy some new gold

Circle got smaller, everybody can′t go

Downtown, Diamond District, jewelers like, "Yo

Hussle holler at me, I got Cubans on the low"

Flew to Cancun, smoking Cubans on the boat

Then docked at Tulum just to smoke

Look, listening to music at the Mayan Ruins

True devotion on the bluest ocean, cruising

My cultural influence even rival Lucien

I'm intergrated vertically, y′all niggas blew it

They tell me, "Hussle dumb it down, you might confuse 'em"

This ain't that weirdo rap you motherfuckers used to

(Like the beginning of Mean Streets)

I′m an urban legend, South Central in a certain section

Can′t express how I curved detectives

Guess it's evidence of a divine presence

Blessings, held me down, at times I seem reckless, F it

You got an L, but got an E for effort

Stretched him, dropped him off in the Mojave desert, then left him

Ain′t no answer to these trick questions

Money making Nip, straighten out my jewelry on my bitch dresser

Well known, flick up and jail pose

Snatch a champagne bottle from Rico's ′til T show

Whatever, nigga, playin' chess, not checkers, nigga

.38 Special for you clever niggas

See bro, if you ain′t live and die by the street codes

Been through all these motions, up and down like a seesaw

I can never view you as my equal

Fuck I wanna hear your CD for?

Like the beginning of Mean Streets

Like the beginning of Mean Streets

Like the beginning of Mean Streets

Like the beginning of Mean Streets

Like the beginning of Mean Streets

Like the beginning of Mean Streets (we gotta make it)

Like the beginning of Mean Streets

Yeah

Look, I'm finna take it there

This time around, I'ma make it clear

Spoke some things into the universe and they appeared

I say it′s worth it, I won′t say it's fair

Find your purpose or you wastin′ air

Fuck it, though, y'all niggas scared

Eyes open, I can see it clear

They don′t make 'em bar none, they don′t make 'em real

They don't make it where I′m from, they don′t take it here

They ain't see in due time, I be makin′ mils

Bossed up in this game, I been makin' deals

Get your lawyer on the phone, we can make it real

I got checks and balance, I flex dramatic

Other fifty on my neck, just my reckless habit

Ain′t no pussy on my rep, disrespect the savage

I make one phone call and the rest get handled

It's just another front step with candles

Lil′ message from the set, "We accept your challenge"

Woah-oh

Woah-oh

Woah-oh

Woah, woah

We gotta make it, yeah, we gotta

We gotta make it, oh, we gotta make it

Oh, ah, ooh

We gotta make it, oh
