GZA - Firehouse lyrics

[Ka] Thought 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 sky They get wet daily, it's a live n***a water ride Just slow and steady when the rain step inside, let the tortoise by It's the hundred man street value, hundred grand Instant, nothing planned, ripping sh** you couldn't understand Came heaven to warn, I'm repping the lifeless Weapon of Christ is, you run out? I'm steppin' in Check with the seven deadly devices, living the real world f**, your love from a real girl, raised my sister Amongst the slime 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 quarter most raw, absorb the quotes For sure I'm the cure, and this more than those Yeah, I'm from the bottom but I look forward to gross [Chorus: 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 sh** I'm in solitude, or with the wildest crew Bulletproof down my coats, like Ghost Wallets shoe 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 you, I gotta hit the star running housing I listen to my ear, 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 with the steps beneath you I rep a lethal and beef, might elect to mosquite you From where beef great you, do as much as dirt as us But they preach lethal The block is crashed, the blast from the heat teach you If one lesson fail, oh well, the streets keep you Had his dreams, one magazine, she sleep you [Chorus]
