[Fat Joe imitating KRS-One]
Wa-ta-ta-tang, wa-ta-ta-tang, tang
Listen to my nine millimeter go BANG!
[*sample - "Joe" by Jackie Moore]
Does anybody know... Joe...
[Fat Joe]
This is d**h to Fat Joe, birth of Cook
Sing to 'em n***as
["Joe" sample - repeat 4X]
Does anybody know, how I can get in touch with Joe
[Fat Joe over "Joe" sample]
Definition of a Don, "Jealous Ones Still Envy" - CRACK!
Yeah, we sold 5 and we ridin, we still ridin
Touched the down, and he's down
See the God in the hood, Dade County, BX, wherever
[Fat Joe]
Can you hear that? n***as that's the winds of change
Blowin through your city, here comes the pain
They say, the more things change, the more stay the same
So I, grip on that same 9 I held in '88
My momma askin - {"where did he go"}
She up the block frantic - {"where did he go"}
Cops combin the streets hara**in - {"where did he go"}
But little did they know - {"where did he go"}
That I was on that Greyhound watchin white turn green
Renegades, we don't wait 'til the light turn green
We just, break the rules and live a life obscene
I been Crack, way before the sh** hits the scene
You couldn't even imagine what my eyes done seen
But now it's - I'm a thug, I'm a k**er
I'm a drug dealin n***a from the hood, God damnit I'm good
I'm out, I swear after this disc I will quit
Pun if you listenin God you truly been this
["Joe" sample - repeat 4X]
Does anybody know, how I can get in touch with Joe
[Fat Joe over "Joe" sample]
Yeah, hahahaha
All my n***as locked down, all my n***a BX n***as we ridin
Uhh
Blap blap blap! Guess who? Yeah
[Fat Joe]
Imagine some old foe with no fire
The God done ran off and retired
No "Lean Back" "New York, New York" anthems
No rappers these ladies, call handsome
Me I'm just dancin, velvet LaPelle
In the Phantom slow rollin watchin Dave Chapelle
I blow smoke now, the stress done got me
Runnin in the sand like a scene from Rocky
{"where did he go"} I'm tryin find myself
It's hard when you the only one supplyin the wealth
And if I fall off, who can I ask for help?
Not a damn soul, my mind is outta control
It's like the Hammer story stands out; can't walk through the Bronx
Cause e'ry muh'f**er got his f**in hands out
Every day somebody new 'sposed to blast me
Changed my phone number, got everybody askin
["Joe" sample - repeat 4X]
Does anybody know, how I can get in touch with Joe
[Fat Joe over "Joe" sample]
Yeah, hahaha
More money more problems
Yup, it's Cook!
Yeah
[Fat Joe over "Joe" sample]
Joseph Carter, that's who I be
I'm still runnin the Carter, that's how we eat
n***as, don't even bother cause that's when we meet
In the middle of the projects, clappin them heats
There's never been a rapper this credible as Joe
Dropped "The Incredible," I'm better with the flow
And e'rybody's askin where did he go
Real simple, stop askin for Joe, it's Cook Coke
["Joe" sample - repeat 4X]
Does anybody know, how I can get in touch with Joe
[Fat Joe over "Joe" sample]
Yeah, Cook motherf**in Coke!
BX borough n***as, yeah...
Cool & Dre, DJ Khaled, L.V., Streetrunner

Chi-Town stand the f** up - HOLLA!

{"where did he go"} it's Crack!
{"where did he go"}
{"where did he go"}
