The most violent of the violentest crimes we give life to

If these Queensbridge kids don't like you

We bring drama of the worst kind to enemies

Your first time will be your last Earth memories

It's only your own fault, I gave you fair warning

Beware of killer kids who don't care

Unaware fools will be dealt with in time

It ain't a mystery how I form the words in rhyme

In nineteen hundred and ninety square

All shook niggas is supposed to have fear

Tryna get a piece of this pie, we don't share

Prepare for the worst 'cause I been there, try to

Keep a positive mind and walk a straight line don't work

So niggas is forced to do dirt

And God made dirt, so this dirt won't hurt

If I listen to the lessons and the rules I learnt

On these streets for nineteen years and not leaving

My first priority's to reach twenty-one breathing

Forever beef, nobody will ever be even

So I grab the heat before breezing

Lost in this foul mind state, I can't keep straight thinkin'

But I keep my eyes on the Earth without blinking

It's hard to be a man in this land of the venom

Any man try to front he get slugs in him because

He ain't a crook, son, son (yeah, yeah, yeah)

He just a shook one, shook one (word up)

Shook one

We live the life that of diamonds and guns (diamonds and guns)

And numerous ways that we choose to earn funds (earn funds)

Some niggas get shot, locked down and turn nuns

Cowardly hearts and straight up shook ones, shook ones (shook ones, shook ones)

He ain't a crook, son (what? South side)

He just a shook one, shook one

For every rhyme I write it's twenty-five to life

To all my peoples in the Bridge know what I'm talking 'bout, right?

Ain't no time for hesitation, that only leads to incarceration

You don't know me, there's no relation

'Cause Queens niggas don't play

I don't got time for the he say she say I'm bigger than that

Claiming that you pack a gat but you scared to get locked

Once you get upon the Island change your ways and stop

Thirteen years in the projects of hard times I've lived in

Wake up in the morning thank God I'm still living

Sometimes I wonder, "Do I deserve to live

Or am I gonna burn in Hell for all the shit I did?"

No time to dwell on that 'cause my brain reacts

Front if you want, nigga, lay on your back

I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live

Stay in a child's place, kid, you outta line

Criminal minds thirsty for recognition mission

I'm strictly sipping E&J like got my mind flippin'

I'm bugging, digging my ways out of holes by hustling

Get that loot, kid, you know my function

'Cause long as I'm alive I'ma live illegal

And once I get on I'ma put on all my peoples

React quick, spit lyrics like MACs, I hit your dome up

When I roll up, don't be caught sleeping 'cause I'm creeping

('Cause I'm creeping, 'cause I'm creeping)

You just a shook one

We live the life that of diamonds and guns

And numerous ways that we choose to earn funds

Some niggas get shot, locked down and turn nuns

Cowardly hearts and straight up shook ones, shook ones (shook ones, shook ones)

He ain't a crook, son

He just a shook one, shook one (shook one, shook one)

We live the life that of diamonds and guns

And numerous ways that we choose to earn funds

Some niggas get shot, locked down and turn nuns

Cowardly hearts and straight up shook ones, shook ones (shook ones)

He ain't a crook, son, crook, son (crook, son)

He's just a shook one, shook one (shook one, shook one)

Yeah

Hit 'em up, son, hit 'em (Mobb Deep)

(Mobb Deep)

Put the motherfucking guns up (Mobb Deep)
