Lloyd Banks - Sidewalks lyrics

[Verse 1] Been more than what you've been 'ware of, left DNA all the places I've been My spot isn't rented, your favorite rappers don't grace the top ten Dangerous the way my mind spinnin', give opposition chop limbs Not only did ni**as go clone me, my alter ego got twins You come to my town, see spooky signs, the license plates say, "Clock in" I married the weed, cups came with no prenup, time to go re-up, crop's in I wonder where all my opps been, still pack a venue, pop in I'm puttin' the work to last longer, hope my lil girl'll drop in This new package landеd, blue magic branded, it hasn't planted Back to scramblin', clеar it the fu*k out, 'cause Banks is a accurate cannon My tattooed hands laid the bricks that build me a statue standin' Tall as ever, ball in all weather, baskets through famine, ni**a You thinkin' of trainin'? I could learn you 'bout something Hope a school protect your neck, cassette, CD and vinyl gets broke in two Hannibal anger, still, the G.O.A.T. conversation is overdue The discussion's premature when it comes to you, Blue [Chorus] I have the sh*t go, remaining a keeper to my brother Keep your head on a swivel, ni**as dyin' to take you under From the way it's lookin' lately some ain't gon' make it to summer Everybody got the same chance to take it, chasin' one color, New York City motherfu*ker I got the pulse by the finger, check out my speech Avoid the wrong territory, we play for keeps Won't be no sympathy for you, to say the least They made the sidewalks for chillin', stay out the streets [Verse 2] Uh, when I go meet the big homie, mural my face every borough I'm really the same stand-up ni**a, new time, new place, different struggle Big crucifix to outshine me, a hunnid bracelets, be humble How dare you to reach out and touch me, 'nough arms to have a team huddle They wonderin' my thoughts on others, well fu*k you, here's my rebu*tal Your promises never been trouble, so my reaction seems subtle My vision's back to green tunnels, get caught in traffic, leave puddles We talkin' practice? no stumbles, cookin' up masterpiece bundles New York, the meltin' pot, melt a opp, give yourself the shop Play the card you were dealt, then drop product on someone else's block You're goin' against the grain lately, you must want the help to stop Made it back here from Hell to rock, burnin' out on the bail from cops Four thirty, a star was born, my journey's been stuck in the dark too long My ego's ten apartments long, need some makers to park it on You should've invested in the stock, you've been workin' the market wrong Killin' this sh*t 'til the blood in my heart is gone [Chorus] I have the sh*t go, remaining a keeper to my brother Keep your head on a swivel, ni**as dyin' to take you under From the way it's lookin' lately some ain't gon' make it to summer Everybody got the same chance to take it, chasin' one color, New York City motherfu*ker I got the pulse by the finger, check out my speech Avoid the wrong territory, we play for keeps Won't be no sympathy for you, to say the least They made the sidewalks for chillin', stay out the streets
