[Verse 1: Raekwon] No love for crowdads, them wheels is old mags Factory joints, I sit back in gold gla**es Count mine out on the grind, slow motion Blunts lit, guns is big, strong noses Drinking Don Julio, playing spades Got my knife out, chopping through duffle bags of haze Pack the money, talking sh**, watching Netflix, vibin' My b**h is a Grecian, four five beside me You know the drawer full of that c**aine 10,000 square feet of lab, I live with a cold flame Her nickname is Cashis, her a** is jura**ic Black cards, wet clit, she cla**y Know we from where the d** be flown in It's like Medellín here, you might get left in the cold wind Bloodline is gangster, you n***as is wa*ksters We k** for real, keep it moving and drink piss [Hook: Cla**ified] I could never hate a man for being himself I wish you nothing but the best in sickness and health Through the battles and the travels and everything else I call it how I see it, yeah, best believe I always say it 'Cause it's true No need to sugar coat it, we only say it 'cause it's true [Verse 2: Cla**ified] Don't care whose eyes are on me, I'll air all my dirty laundry I try to keep it cla**y, they try to say it's raunchy They call me bald honky, eye brows like Sean Connery But either way I get that thumbs up like Fonzie All the way across seas, to the Long Beach palm trees To the New York concrete, there ain't a place beyond reach I planted seeds and my crop finally started sproutin' I learn the art of rap, you learn the art of chokin' You'll never see this artist frozen like the Arctic Ocean With every [?] I've spoken, I put my heart and soul in I'm too intelligent to say you fin to dumb it down They tryna shut me up but every show I shut it down How's that work, I go all out, I'm all in In the jungle, late night, burning my stripes, diggin my claws in I'm a tiger that's been brought up in a lion's den But I'm still a product of my environment [Hook: Cla**ified] I could never hate a man for being himself I wish you nothing but the best in sickness and health Through the battles and the travels and everything else I call it how I see it, yeah, best believe I always say it 'Cause it's true No need to sugar coat it, we only say it 'cause it's true [Verse 3: Kuniva] They said D12 was a joke until we reached a million Did it two more times, they sick we in the building Can't stop momentum, no matter what you'll be k** 'em Love to ODB, D12 is for the children Can't knock 'cause Kuniva's only speaking the doctrine From the prophet's point of view that'll only strengthen your conscience Still enjoy when the bad chicks in my boxers And hit the king off with some monster, that is proper Can't snap out of my ghetto ways A product of my environment, Fords and Chevrolets And still manage to get caught up where the metal sprays Cemetery where cold bodies and rose petals lay It's all the same, worldwide, so the Henny gets swallowed Back with the chaser, holler back with your paper That's the only way they gonna hear ya, better yet, fear ya Real recognize real and cla** is looking real familiar [Hook: Cla**ified] I could never hate a man for being himself I wish you nothing but the best in sickness and health Through the battles and the travels and everything else I call it how I see it, yeah, best believe I always say it 'Cause it's true No need to sugar coat it, we only say it 'cause it's true
