I'm back, stop the gimmicks I pop pop the biscuit and shut down your businesses They wanna white-wash scan-copy my image While I became a menace cause I found my limits Spit it, open up the Book of Life and see my name in it Same sentence, sure my wagers are d**h if I ain't live it Ask the Lord for forgiveness of sins that I committed Even Solomon predicted, you can't die with your riches Of course, no pillow talk when you lie with them b**hes Each verse be worth money like Egyptian pictures It got worse since the Bush's took that torch from Hitler Pour out liquor for my dead comrades, I ain't forget ya, man A lot of s**, but I'm no Caligula I'm livin' Hip Hop, son, you just a visitor A lot of faces and the names are similar I build with the OG's down to superiors, yeah [Hook-Vocal samples] "Fight the system" "Got a precinct with the po-po" "Bust your pistol" "Seekin' five-O" "Fight the system" "Got a precinct with the po-po" "Bust your pistol" "Seekin' five-O" Yo, this how we do it, man Crooked I, where you at, baby?
