Prodigy (Mobb Deep) - Stronger lyrics

Chorus (sampled from Four Women by Nina Simone (1966)) with Prodigy talking to it Strong enough to take the pain (Uh-huh) Inflicted a-gain (and again and again and again), and a-gain What do they call me? (*inaudbile* my name b**h) My name, is Str-Strong (uh-huh.) ,Strong (yeah. ayo) [Prodigy] The moonlight shines on the New York skyline Midtown is lit up, the city is mine As I drive across Queensbridge, I see it clearly From my P.O.V. (what do they), this is fact not theory Yeah that rapper got money, but that rapper can't walk Through this concrete jungle cause he doin it wrong New York belongs to Don P You can have the rest of the world, I'm good (strong) with these streets Skyscrapers and, housing buildings I know about London, but I prefer Brooklyn I know about Marseilles, but I prefer Queens And while you hire cops (what do they), I prefer my team I got a powerful army, it's no need for a gun You want hardcore rap you f**in with the right one~! This is maximum strength, there's no need for d** You want reality rap, homey you got the right one I'm... [Chorus] Strong enough to take the pain Inflicted a-gain, and a-gain What do they call me? My name, is Str-Strong, (you know what) Strong [Prodigy] You know what? Maybe once every, tangerine moon, I'll be in the mood To paint the town red with your corpuscles And plasma; some violent art These thoughts, in the corners (what do they) of my mind are dark But then the Times Square lights, they switch my whole attitude Reminds me of billions that loot I must persist, I must pursue The rest of my success, (strong) I am not through They tried to put my run to an end But as sure as the point on the state building I Stand tall, wipe the dirt off My clothes when I fall down (what do they), I'm way too strong This is my town, my subways and sidewalks I done ran through these gutters like a tunnel rat, pah' Waist deep, inside of the sh** In the midst of the action where people get hit-look [Chorus] Strong enough to take the pain Inflicted a-gain, and a-gain What do they call me? My name, is Str-Strong, Strong [Prodigy] Yeah; you ain't never been touched means you don't participate Within the f**ery, you stay comfortably Distant, from pain infliction Meanwhile I'm (what do they) flirtin with d**h She put her liptstick, on the collar of my shirt, next to my jugular I ain't tryin to keep her, I just wanna f** her When I pa** through I'm too, committed to life She a b**h but I love her refuse to (strong) part from her I'm, destiny's child I survived it all The most high got a special plan just for me My, table is set, with cake for days I'm a lil' bit late but (what do they), it's okay My future's so bright that I gotta wear shades I follow in the footsteps of, LL Cool J 50 and P. Diddy, my relentless drive To thrive and prosper, made (strong) me [Chorus] Strong enough to take the pain Inflicted a-gain, and a-gain What do they call me? My name, is Str-Strong, Strong (what do they)
