[Intro: Raekwon:]
Regardless, we all ninjas, and got money
But the theme of the story
Is yo, checking how they came for me
[Verse 1: Raekwon]
Kinda brief from the gold teeth era
Bro dreaming on C.R.E.A.M
Complimentaries and beef
I'm from the wild side, a militant was made by the foremost elite
It sound good, brung my rifle sh**, clean
Met the others, lit a blunt, begin
I'm like Nicole Kidman in the wind, n***as is wild, n***as is eat
Then I chanced it, blood can always beat mud
Mud is part of being thug, I guess it's advance, we from the street
This is me, I'm ready to beat, whatever, we gon' off' it
One time alone, yo, they pricked up Unique
Meth standing there, rare hustler hair, right in front of the building
Them n***as do them k**ings out there
This is deep, me, Rebel, U-G, he walked in the room
Scarf rap, pair of Timberlands, beat
This the potion, roll the scroll out, speaked and another walked in
Knowing now this is a thief
We from the same voc's, this is like a pot roast
Hottest n***as who rhyme, I know them from the time
This is not 'posed to happen
Peace Black, we wasn't cool
Threw the piece back, everything good, I lit the leaf, captain
Got a mission, to make sure the world recognize our position
I'm standing near the kitchen
sh** just might work, I lit the stink, this could be the realest sh**
This could be the realest flip quick
Everybody stand up in militant, army jackets down
I said to myself, this the realest clique
True champ, we gon' rep it through, keep it cool
No boot camp, no hard work, just some loot, family
All in, ball til you fall, loyal as ever
I grab my leather, I'm a lay til you call
[Hook: Raekwon]
Generals, demons, nighttime, vultures
Caught up on the ropes, let's team it
Everybody seen it, Zenith, what you mean?
Everybody C.R.E.A.M.'in', the all American dream
