Gza (formerly Known As The Genius) - Firehouse lyrics

[Ka] My life rest in a .45, aim for head, chest fortified Sons look for revenge, out of stress, daughters cry Got to do it here, can't afford to try Thought the gutter ended in the 'Ville, then I saw the 'Stuy They get wet daily, it's a live n***a water ride Slow and steady win the race, step aside, let the tortoise by It's the hundred man street value hundred grand Instinct, nothing planned, been through sh** you couldn't understand Caine, hec, and the 'juan. I'm repping the lifeless Weapon of Christ. Is the blunt out? I'm steppin' in Checkin' for secondary devices, live in the real world f**, get love from a real girl, raised my sister Amongst Islam and the crime, now she a ill pearl Never seen nothing like me, I'm for those who get it on nightly You need a boost of strength, put it on, recite me I tour with toast, cuz drama's always close Feeling the waves, k**a praise, applaud my folks From the court most raw, absorb the quotes For sure I'm the cure, and this more of the dose Yeah, I'm from the bottom but I look forward to gross [Hook: GZA (Ka)] In the gutter, some ride, some chill (some chill) I'm from the gutter, some 'Stuy, some 'Ville (some 'Ville) Know many brothers, some cry, some build Word to the mother, some lie, some steal (steal) Some get popped, some die, some heal (some heal) Some get knocked, some hide and some real (Some even bust shots, some live, some k**) (But that's gutter where Ka and them chill) [Ka] Slim n***a with the fat pound, back down Most brolic dude, try to move, hit him in the face Never again taste solid food. Same n***a If I'm in solitude, or with the wildest crew Bulletproof down my coats like Ghost's wallets, too I run wit a crook or two, look who escaped out Brooklyn Zoo f** that queen, I show you what a knight, and a rook'll do New York City Bronson, heat up quicker than Vinnie Johnson A block got Bloods now, it's like a mini Compton To have honey smiling, need money piling Bundles, bundles, bundles, a hundred thousand That's why with my gun I'm browsing On the hottest strip to see who I gotta hit to start running housing I listen to my id, respect my ego If I need council, bounce through, check my people The first on Earth with the same thirst I accept is equal Never move with crews, you lose if they steps beneath you I rep it lethal and beef might elect to mesquite you From where beef greet you. Do as much as dirt as us But they preach lethal The block is crashed, the blast from the heat teach you Get one lesson, fail, oh well, the streets keep you Pat his jeans, one magazine, She sleep you [Hook] [Ka] I embody, every n***a who carried a shotty Forced to grow up quick, never sat on the potty Went from crawl to run, we want all or none Being fatherless bothered us, everybody who called him son Block scholastic, sunny chips from the rock jura**ic For heavy glory, mark territory fore I rot in casket Thought our young committee was gon' run the city One fear is being unprepared, so I brung the smitty If you dare come and get me, I'm from royalty I represent myself, don't need no lawyer fee People call on me, cuz I'm ready when it's urgent Too much grace to tremble, hand steady as a surgeon
