Hip Hop Since 1978 - American Gangster lyrics

And you say New York City Uh-huh, put your hands together Young, uh-huh, yeah Uh-huh, yes [Verse 1] I'm from the 80's Home of the h**n Era of the hustlers The world is my custy New Rich Porter The way I flip quarters Front on all these other rap artists, but me Momma was a mink wearer Papa ran numbers So it's plain to see where my whole plan come from American dream I'm living the life still The way I shine is like a zillion dollar light bill Still I'm grinding, army jacket lining Forty below Timbs on, getting my M's on My best friends gone, I seen bad days Still find songs that I hear him on Getting my Mary J. Blige "Reminisce" on I hear his voice in my mind like, n***a live on So I get on that fly sh** I been on Spin on corners in Enzo with rims on But for info, puffing on Endo-Nesia Give me amnesia I ease up, that right, I'm high n***a I want the sky The world when I'm done I'm give it to my sons Let em live it up, split it up, switch it up Sixes kit it up Man I did it up, done The rest of my belongings belong in the hall of fame A list of hits next to all my names I came [Verse 2] If the sky should fall And it all goes tomorrow and they foreclose on the house and auction off all my cars Don't cry for me Argentina I mobbed the Beamer Took trips abroad, got mobbed in Sardina In Ibiza I had pizza in the club Ladies know I'm that guy They wanna piece of my love Now they wanna do your boy like Mike in his prime Billie Jean the goddamn boy ain't mine And the Roc break up, had the people losing hope Can't lie they had Muhammad Hovi on the ropes Now I'm back in the go mode, back in the go-go's Throwing the diamond up, repping the logo Rose gold rose flow I'm okay though What Don't k** me makes stronger than before so Here we go and I'm not domino When it all falls down I'm like Kanye's jaw I might break but I don't fold til I hold the sky in my hand Yeah that's my goal And then I bid you Freddy Adu Prodigal Child, y'all not ready for the future Then I disappear in the Bermuda Triangle My name will be viewed such Here's to the man that refused to give up I want the sky n***a, church
