[Verse One]
[Peter Gunz]
Can I f**in' play?
I got a quarter mill' in the bank
No one to thank but me
Break me - "Gunz"
Bronx ball playa
Take the gatas and suits, from n***as rich
See me - I'm stackin mah chips, flippin' mah chips
b**h, I...
Peter Gunz, I...
Listen I, gobble, pour all I broke
No joke, clear the smoke, or get smoked
n***a what?
You stand ya plan
You faka's join, but what's the point you makin'?
Nothin' taken
I seen n***a's come and go
But I'ma say a
A mothaf**in' Bronx playa
I went from eatin' outta trash
To walkin' and pushin' the E-Cla**
From chickens, to f**in' b**hes that's lookin' like Stacy Cash
An'-now flash
Moms prayed to God that she'd be green
But it was hard for me to raise somebody, I never seen
Cherish
I testify when they ask me ta speak
I said that only Lord knows two rants to praise the Lord
(Nah)
[Chorus]
I think it's bout time we'd shine (shine)
n***a's made chips off mine (mine)
Climb the same rhyme, recline
It's time to bring pain to these n***a's (haaahh)
Drain these n***a's, if they wanna (who wanna?)
I gotta crew from Soundview wantin' war (c'mon)
Start a revolution with mah n***as from the fall (from the faaall)
We gotta bring it all Uptown in the party (uhhh)
Cause Lord Tariq won't you come and get sh** started?
[Chorus]
[Verse Two]
[Lord Tariq]
Check it yo, I'm in the big black Bronco
Sippin' Rimmey out the bottle
From the Bronx like Billy Blanco
Fortin' high-on on the throttle
My sh** dates back like American Bandstands
So ya'll n***as sit and relax while these grands change hands
Stand tall, stick yo chest out boy
And be a man
You bust one, you let them all-out, and go all-out
Wit' dat bug you had to fall-out wit, head-chest
Don't let-'em fall-out, sh**
And if I fall-out, quick
It's Money Boss
I'm at the midnight blue
Three times to excite you
Have you drippin' off mah chest, wantin' ta be crew
Wantin' to be flauntin' the sh** that we do
But ya can't n***a, ya still young, it's still alot of sh** to go through
I been through enough d** to get you high, think "I'm Bout It"
Think I'm lyin'? 'Cause I'm rhymin? n***a mah path would be routed
sh** is real, don't you battle, now get ya bricks fa' tin
Now that's the Steel House of "Bout It" (House of "Bout It")
Money Boss...
[Chorus]
I think it's 'bout time you'd shine (shine)
n***a's made chips off mine (mine)
Climb the same rhyme, recline
It's time to bring pain to these n***a's
Drain these n***a's, if they wanna (yo who wanna?)
I gotta crew from Soundview wantin' war
Start a revolution with mah n***as from the fall
Gotta bring it all Uptown and hit the party (party)
Peter Gunz won't you come and get this sh** started?
[Chorus]
[Verse Three]
[Peter Gunz]
'Ey-yo
When you gettin' chips, you got mad tricks ridin' ya pony
But when ya slip, the same stank b**h is wanna journey
Ya baby motha', probably f**in' brotha' if he trickin'
You resort to a**-kickin', she dick-lickin'
Now you in the mountains up north
Gimme the Nine, time ta think about the dumb sh** ya did, play a mind
Sekikes, to all the chickens you treated, like they was queens
Ain't never rolled a n***a recenin' up in his greens
Conversatin his low, ho'
Ain't you gettin' chips?
You get a check on the first birth, help a n***a live
I used to get.. rent money, I sent and spent money
I never lent money, I burned and bent money
So why you actin' funny, wit' yours?
Put them drawers on yo a**, and I knew the stash, a baby of course
When ya baby bounce up into the slack
I took your son like he was my son, he never lack
And baby wise up
[Chorus]
n***a it's 'bout time you'd shine (shine)
But n***a's made chips off mine (mine)
Climb the same rhyme, recline
It's time to bring pain to these n***a's
Drain these n***a's, if they wanna (yo who wanna?)
I gotta crew from Soundview wantin' war
Start a revolution with mah n***as from the fall (haahah)
We gotta bring it all Uptown and hit the party (party)
Lord Tariq won't you come and get this sh** started?
*Chorus*
[Verse Three]
[Lord Tariq]
'Ey-yo
I be the Bronx narrator, recitin' my ghetto stories
To mah playas, from the smallest to the tallest category
While you got shadow warriors, money ain't mah problem
You want aches and breaks, of that sh**? Well I got 'em
Money Boss, get crossed off, so ring the alarm
Bronx roots, I recruit the thoughts, I'm making bombs
I'm the calm and the stong, Hiroshima the bomb
I have you in protection programs, somewhere on the farm
Wit' mah eyes on you n***as, like the feds and faka's
Got they eye's on the sippa's, big tippa's, and dice shaka's
Small head-build, means you the small-time n***a
With small thoughts, and small means, of gettin' small figures
By all means, expedite, "Live long - prosper"
Ya live-wrong suits, got'cha
Remember that mink you bought? For 9 G's and somehow split the scene
It's in the government auction, for 900 - what does it mean?
[Chorus]
I think it's 'bout time we'd shine (shine)
But n***a's made chips off mine (mine)
And climb the same rhyme, recline
It's time to bring pain to these n***a's
Gotta, drain these n***a's, if they wanna ('ey-yo who wanna?)
I gotta crew from Soundview wantin' war
Start a revolution with mah n***as from the fall
We gotta bring it all Uptown and hit the party (uh)
Peter Gunz & Lord Tariq ta get this sh** started? (get it started)
