From Willie Lynch to Willie Hutch

Right on
We superfly
Made Gucci this shit, Louie too
Suits and ties
Player trophies
Pray to Goldie
Picture wax museums full of Black Panther triple OGs
Aunt Jemima hos
Historic horse shit
Girls from long time ago
Stagecoach with the horse, kid
Witch doctors
Good old pickpockets
Sip moonshine
So-called coons, shines and darkies
I love ya'll
Pyramids to cotton fields to Wrigley Fields
Forgotten men who didn't get killed
Christmas addicts
The first blast and peace to the rich lady
Purse snatcher shot in the back
I know your hunger, kid
I know they hung your dad
Burnt your mama crib
I know that hurt you bad
Mystery shows
From gold to shackles and back to gold
We act like we home
Matter fact, we are home
Bad attitudes
Octaroon skin tones
Slave food turned to soul food
Collards and neck bones
Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag
Bet she had a nigga with her to help her old ass

As James Baldwin says
You can only be destroyed by believing
That you really are what the white world considers
A nigger

No matter how hard you try
You can't stop us now

Can't be stopped
Yo on Dateline
The other night they showed hate crimes
Gave a Blood time
Cause he fought with his canine
Bestiality
Humane Society
Go to China, see how they dine
See what they eat
Better yet ask PETA whoever
Which animal makes suede
If not for suede would you have survived the Dark Ages?
Cannibal ways of the anti-Caucasians
Still you like your steak tartar
Pinot noir
David Starr on the chain of Sammy Davis
He helped pave the way for Southern crankers and them Harlem shakers
Now we getting our papers
And try to censor the words
To stop our money coming
But you can't escape us
Haters

Lord, Lord ya'll

What I'm gonna do?
Lord, lord ya'll
Shit is all true

Mmm, fried chicken
Fly vixen
Give me heart disease
But need you in my
Kitchen
You a bird, but you ain't a ki
Got wings but you can't fly away from me
Driving in your bucket seats
All the way from Kentucky to fuck with me
Look what you've done to me
Who's number one to me?
After you shower
You and your Gold Medal flour
Then you rub your hot oil for bout a half an hour
You in your hot tub, I'm looking at you salivating
Dry you off, I got your paper towel waiting
Lay you down cause you're red hot
Louisiana style you make my head rock
Then I flock
To the bed then plop
When we done, I need rest
Don't know what part of you I love best
Your legs or your breasts
Mrs. Fried Chicken, you gon be a nigga death
Created by southern black women
To serve massa guest
You gon be a nigga death
Mrs. Fried Chicken
You was my addiction
Dripping with high cholest
Like Greeks with his falafel
Italian with his tomato
Pasta
What roach is to a rasta
Trapping me
You and your friend mac and cheese
Candied yams, collard greens
But you knocking me to my knees
Is killing me when I miss, ah
Nothing I need more than a fish fry

Shit
It taste good, I can't lie
It's like you're walking out a tanning salon
When I pull you out the oven from baking
I got you on my mind
Rubbing that sun tan lotion all up over your body
So amazing
How you sparkle when I glaze you swine
Hey
My pretty ham hock
It's so feminine
The way you submitting
And how you gave me power
To massaging me
To shower you with lemon water
Marinate you with seasoning, dipping you in chowder
Baby
It's like you at the spa
The way you gently lay in the pan
While enjoying your buttermilk treatment
I sit and watch the grease sizzle
Bubbling on your skin
Despite the funny fragrance still I lick my finger frequent
In any event
I'm reflecting on all the signs that I got saying that I shouldn't fuck with you
But the way that you would taste made you hard to resist
When I put my mouth on you but that's another issue
Butterflies up in my stomach
When I laid eyes on you
Or was it infection manifesting?
Confused over the feeling
Impatiently eating you, choking
A worm chewing on the wall of my intestine
I'm a eat you til there's nothing left
Til my very last breath
You gon be a nigga death
Despite a preparing the best at specializing
Cooking swine as a chef
You gon be a nigga death
Who cares if the swine's
Mixed with rat, cat, and dog combined?
Yes, I'm a eat the shit to death

Ain't that some shit?
I'm a eat some shit
Until what I'm eating kills me
And I choose to do that
Why?
Cause that's just what niggas do

(Italian intro)

Yo, I'm rollin with the wise guys
You don't wanna testify
I thought it was a movie til they paid me off of jury duty
I can't front
The check came in handy
Cause my baby ma distressin me like Edith did Archie
They welcomed me into the family
Bought me a Porsche and a crib out in Jersey
I told my moms she wasn't thrilled
She said they like mad lions, son
They shoot to kill
And leave ya body on the hill
Massacre similar to what happened in Amityville
I'm sittin back with a fifth
Reminisce on who I miss
Sly an the Family Stone in the CD disc

It's a family affair

Blood is thicker than water
The feds got me under pressure
They say I might not see sunlight again
Unless I snitch on my mans
And that won't happen no no


They want me to go undercover
They want me to wear a wire too
It'll never happen
Cause I can't see
Me going against my family tree
It's a family affair


By the time you get this letter
I hope that you're in good health, mom
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to do you wrong

I know you raised me
In the ways of righteousness
And this is gonna be the last time that I do a bit

I want out now
He laughed and said, "Please, you hear
You can check out but you can't leave
I'll cut you up in so many pieces, Clef
That even if I sent your mom the instruction
She couldn't put you back together"
4 or 5 way I been circumcise
Time stand still when the murders on the rise
Any last words?
Give my regard to Tony Soprano

Question:

Tell me what you think about me
I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings
Only ring your cell-y when I'm feelin lonely
When it's all over please get up and leave

Question: Tell me how you feel about this
Try to control me boy you get dismissed
Pay my own fun, oh and I pay my own bills
Always 50/50 in relationships

The shoes on my feet I've bought it
The clothes I'm wearing I've bought it
The rock I'm rockin' I've bought it
Cause I depend on me
If I wanted the watch you're wearin' I'll buy it
The house I live in I've bought it
The car I'm driving I've bought it cause I depend on me

All the women who are independent
Throw your hands up at me
All the honeys who makin' money
Throw your hands up at me
All the mommas who profit dollas
Throw your hands up at me
All the ladies who truly feel me
Throw your hands up at me

Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
Charlie, how your Angels get down like that
Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
Charlie, how your Angels get down like that

Tell me how you feel about this
Who would I want if I would wanna live
I worked hard and sacrificed to get what I get
Ladies, it ain't easy bein' independent

Question: How'd you like this knowledge that I brought
Braggin' on that cash that he gave you is to front
If you're gonna brag make sure it's your money you flaunt
Depend on no one else to give you what you want

Destiny's Child wassup? You in the house?
Sure 'nough we'll break these people off Angel style
Child of Destiny independent beauty
No one else can scare me

Here we go again

Infatuation touches me
Just when I thought that it would end
Oh but then again it seems much more than that
But I'm not sure exactly what you're thinking

Well I toss and turn all night
Thinking of your ways of affection
But to find that it's not different at all
Well I throw away my past mistakes
And contemplate my future
That's why I say
What the hey

Would it last forever?
You and I together hand and hand we run away far away
I'm in for nasty weather but I'll take whatever you can give that comes my way yeah

You're all that I need

You’re all that I need, I’ll be there for you
If you keep it real with me, I’ll keep it real witchu
Loving your whole schemes, it be in there, boo
On top of that, you got the good power-U

Shorty, I’m there for you any time you need me
For real, girl, it’s me in your world, believe me
Nuttin make a man feel better than a woman
Queen with a crown that be down for whatever
There are few things that’s forever, my lady
We can make war or make babies
Back when I was nuttin
You made a brother feel like he was something
That’s why I’m with you to this day, boo, no frontin'
Even when the skies were gray
You would rub me on my back and say "Baby, it’ll be okay"
Now that’s real to a brother like me, baby
Never ever give my pussy away and keep it tight, aight
And I’ma walk these dogs so we can live
In a fat-ass crib with thousands of kids
Word life, you don’t need a ring to be my wife
Just be there for me and I’ma make sure we
Be livin in the fuckin lap of luxury
I’m realizing thatcha didn’t have to fuck with me
Butcha did, now I’m going all out, kid
And I got mad love to give, you my nuh


I got a love jones for your body and your skin tone
Five minutes alone, I’m already on the bone
Plus I love the fact you got a mind of your own
No need to shop around, you got the good shit at home
Even if I’m locked up north, you in the world
Rockin three-fourths of cloth, never showin' your stuff off, boo
It be true, me for you that’s how it is
I can be your noah, you can be my wiz
Then I can be your sun, you can be my earth
Resurrect the God through birth, best believe

-Method Man (All I Need, Tical, 1994)

Read in the paper


"How to get a narcissist into video games"


Read in the paper 'bout a man killed with a sword
And that made my think of my friend George
People said the man was five foot six
Sounds like Georgie with his killing stick

Hey bro, what's the woid?
I'm talking 'bout my friend George
Hey bro, what's the word?
Talking 'bout my friend George
You're talking 'bout my friend George!

I knew George since he was eight
I always thought that he was great
And anything that George would do
You know that I would do it too
George liked music and George liked to fight
He worked out in a downtown gym every night
I'd spar with him when work was done
We'd split lips, but it was all in fun


Next thing I hear, George's got this stick
He's using it for more than kicks
I seen him down at Smalley's bar
He was wired up, I tried to calm him down
"Avenge yourself," he says to me
"Avenge yourself for humanity
Avenge yourself for the weak and the poor
Stick it to these guys, right through their heads
Well, the fight is my music and the stick is my sword
And you know that I love you, so please don't say a word
Can't you hear the music playing? The anthem, it's my call"
And the last I seen of George he was running through the door

-Lou Reed (My Friend George, New Sensations, 1984)

My name is Knuckles, nuh

Nuhs call me Knuckles, straight up
Yeah, my real name is Clyde, man
Straight up and down, man
Clyde Smith, nuh, I'm from the Wally era, nuh
Straight up, and all them big nuhs know
All them nuhs that did all that time?
They know how I get down
When I come in, I come in
Straight up, P.O.'s, all them nuhs salute me
They, listen man, straight up and down
5-0's and all that, I owns that, I owns that
And I'm a Staten Island nuh, straight up
Nuhs see that, nuhs be like, "Yo, let him through,
That's a, that's a made nuh right there, that's a
And he gonna punch you in the mouth if you say something slick"
You see these shits right here?
I'ma die with these on, dick
Yeah, that's right
And I'ma be up here for a minute
And I ain't goin nowhere
And I'm using that phone
And I'ma have my little snatch in all up with me
And I dare nuhs to go in my locker
Because yo, I'm not playin with y'all nuhs, man
I'm telling you: If you want something, ask me for it, man
And if I like you like that, I'ma hold you down
If you think you gonna try to do that move,
Tom & Jerry shit on me?
And have my friend get smashed through the ceiling?
Never, never, duke, I'm telling you
I'ma snatch you up there
I'ma snatch you up there, little iceberg t-shirt you got on
And that little platinum bullshit ass chain you got
Straight up, and your haircut game is fucked up
I too tired of nuhs, them nuhs who do that to that nuh
Straight up, yo that nuh 50 Cent?
That's, yo, I don't even know why he try to
Do that little dumb-ass shit right there
But I'ma tell you something:
You could say all them other nuh names
But nuhs, nuhs gonna see you based on that, big daddy
I know why they ain't bark on you
Cause they ain't trying to let your little broke ass
Trying to come in the game
And act like they letting you live off they scruff
Okay? You ain't even that big, dick
And if I see you up in here
I'ma have about 500 wolves on you
And that's (kiss), that's gon' get everything, duke
You just fucked up, you fucked up bad
I don't even know, man
Matter fact, I'ma kick you in your ass and all that shit
Gon' take your little watch and all that, you know?
But yo, like I said, 50, you a bird, and nuhs gonna see you
Faggot ass nuh

-Raekwon (on Ghostface, Clyde Smith, Supreme Clientele, 2000)

Wish I had told

Was the only one but it's too late, it's too late: he's gone

You sweat her, and I ain't talking bout a Coogi
You a big L, and I ain't talking bout Cool J
See me at the airport, at least twenty Louies
Treat me like the Prince, and this my sweet brother Numpsay
Brother Numpsay! Groupies say I'm too choosy
Take them to the show and talk all through the movies
Said she want diamonds, I took her to Ruby Tuesdays
If we up in Friday's, I still have it my way

Too late, he's gone; we striving home
Gone, I ride on chrome; it's too late

Y'all don't want no prob from me
What you rappers could get is a job from me
Maybe you could be my intern, and in turn
I'll show you how I cook up summer in the winter
Aaron love the raw dog, when will he learn
Caught something on the Usher tour, he had to let it burn
Plus he already got three chi'ren
Arguing over babysitters like, "Bitch, it's your turn!"
Damn, Ye, it'd be stupid to dis you
Even your superficial raps is super official
R-R-R-Roc pastel with Gucci on
With TVs in the ride, throw a movie on
Said he couldn't rap, now he at the top with doobie long
Cause the dookie's on any song that they threw me on, gone


Knock knock, who's there? Killa Cam, killa who?
Killa Cam, hustler, grinder, gorilla true
Oh my, chinchilla blue, blue
You ever dealt with a dealer?
Well, here's the deal, man, we goin to the dealer
No concealing, no ceiling, I don't need a roof
Act up, get out, I don't need you, poof poof!
Be gone, damn, tough luck, dag
Dag, nuhs still doing puff-puff-pass
Pull the truck up fast and I tell them
Hey, back in a touched up Jag, shit
Y'all nuhs won't get in Cam's cerebellum
An old man just gonna tell them, "Too late, he's gone"
Then I see how y'all gonna react when I'm gone
My last girl want me back, then I'm on
Fine, stay, you got the grind, hey
Came back, read what the sign say: Too late, he's gone
Yes, I know you wanna see my demise
Yeah, you church boy acting like a thief in disguise
Ain't leaving my side, see the greed in my eyes
Ask Abby, y'all hustle for a week to the Chi, shit
And that ain't even a lie, please believe me
Gave Wheezy a piece of the pie
And you can ask George or Regina
The whole west side I explore with the Beemer now


Listen homeboy, move on
That's your best bet, why's that? Cause
I been pouring out some liquor for the fact that my pal's gone
And trying to help his mama with the fact that her child gone
And since we used to bubble like a tub full of Calgon
I guess it's only right that I should help her from now on
But since they got a foul on, what could of gone wrong?
Now they asking, "Cons, how long has this gone on?"
And maybe all this money might have gone to my head
Cause they got me thinking money might have gone to the feds
So I ain't going to the dread, but he'll go on up to bed
And when I came the next morning he was gone with my bread
And with that being said, I had gone on my instincts
And gone to the spots where they go to get mixed drinks
But looking back now, I should have gone to the crib
And rented Gone With the Wind, cause I'da gone about ten
But I had gone with my friend, and we had gone to the bar
And heard a nuh talking shit so I had gone to the car
And now the judge is telling me that I had gone too far
And now we gone for 20 years, doing time behind bars
And since I gone to a cell for some petty crimes
I guess I gone to the well one too many times, cause I'm gone


I'm ahead of my time, sometimes years out
So the powers that be won't let me get my ideas out
And that make me want to get my advance out
And move to Oklahoma and just live at my aunt's house
Yeah, I romance the thought of leaving it all behind
Kanye, step away from the limelight, like
When I was on the grind in the one-nine-nine-nine
Before model chicks was bending over, or
Dealerships asked me "Benz or Rover," man
If I could just get one beat on Hova
We could get up off this cheap-ass sofa
What the summer of the Chi got to offer an 18-year-old?
Sell drugs or get a job, you gotta play gyro
My dog worked at Taco Bell, hooked us up plural
Fired a week later, the manager count the churros
Sometimes I can't believe it when I look up in the mirro
How we out in Europe, spendin Euros
They claim you never know what you got til it's gone
I know I got it, I don't know what y'all on
I'ma open up a store for aspiring MCs
Won't sell them no dream, but the inspiration is free
But if they ever flip sides like Anakin
You'll sell everything, including the mannequin
They got a new bitch, now you Jennifer Aniston
Hold on I'll handle it, don't start panicking, stay calm
Shorty's at the door cause they need more
Inspiration for they life, they souls, and they songs
They said, "Sorry, Mr. West is gone!"

-Kanye West ft. Cam'ron & Consequence (Gone, Late Registration, 2005)


I'd like to give credit here,
Make contact if you know the photographer.

Young for life!

Once again it's the life, yes
(I don't know why I get so high off)
It's intoxicating, man, y'all don't know why you do what you do
(Get so high off, get so high, high off the life)

The allure of breakin the law
Is always too much for me to ever ignore
I got a thing for them big-body Benzes, it dulls my senses
In love with a V Dub engine
Man, I'm high off life, fuck it I'm wasted
Bey Venay kicks or them Marvin Kaye wrists
My women friends get tennis bracelets
Trips to Venice get they winters replaced with
The sun, it ain't even fun no more, I'm jaded
Man, it's just a game, I just play it to play
I put my feet in the footprints left to me without saying a word
The ghetto's got a mental telepathy
Man, my brother hustled
So naturally, up next is me, but what perplexes me
Shit, I know how this movie ends
Still I play the starring role in Hovito's Way

It's just life
I solemnly swear to change my approach
Stop shaving coke, stay away from hoes
Put down the toast cause I be doing the most: Oh, no!

I'm like a Russian mobster, drinking distilled vodka
Til I'm under the field with Hoffa
It's real, pillow-top him like a toupee
Mix the water with the soda, turn the pot up make a souffle
All y'all can get it like group-ays, your 2-way
I'm living proof that crime do pay
Say 'hooray' to the bad guy, and all the broads
Putting cars in they name for the stars of the game
Putting 'caine in they bras and their tomorrows on the train
All in the name of love, just to see that love locked in chains
And the family came over the house to take back
Everything that they claimed
Or even the worse pain is the distress
Learning you're the mistress only after that love gets slain
And the anger and the sorrow mixed up leads to mistrust
Now it gets tough to ever love again
But the allure of the game keeps calling your name
To all the Lauras of the world, I feel your pain
To all the Christies in every city and Tiffany Lanes
We all hustlers in love with the same thing


I never felt more alive than riding shotgun in Cline's green 5
Until the cops pulled guns
And I tried to smoke weed to give me the fix I need
What the game did to my pulse, with no results
And you can treat your nose and still won't come close
The game is a light bulb with eleventy million volts
And I'm just a mark, addicted to the floss
And doors lift from the floor and the tops come off
By any means necessary, whatever the cost
Even if it means lives is lost
And I can't explain why, I just love to get high
Drink light, smoke the blueberry sky, blink twice
I'm in the blueberry five, you blink three times
I may not even be alive
I mean, even James Dean couldn't escape the allure
Dying young, leaving a good-looking corpse, of course

- Jay-Z (Allure, The Black Album, 2003)
