[Kumasi from "Crips and Bloods: Made in America" sample:]
|
One thing you have to realize
|
If you opened them up, there would be a stamp under their shirt that
|
Says 'Made in America"
|
Ok, not no place else
|
They weren't made in Taiwan or you know, Indonesia
|
They were made in America
|
|
[Interlude: N.O.R.E.]
|
The family is the family
|
This oath is this oath
|
And I will die before I break it
|
And when we grow, we grow as one
|
|
"I've sworn an oath"
|
|
[N.O.R.E.:]
|
Late night fistfights, with bare knuckles
|
Nowadays, niggas probably wouldn't dare scuffle
|
It's big guns aimed at your nozzle, big Roscoe
|
Donnie Brasco wish death to they vato
|
Cigarette smoking, on the crater for the corner store
|
Same place as the ambulance and corridor
|
Growing up seeing dead bodies in the lobby
|
I used to hate the smell of it, then I got used to it
|
Just for the hell of it, young man, intelligent
|
I always know that the police was the enemy
|
And every dead president I make will be a friend of me
|
Bitches ain't shit, cause most of them is evil
|
And most of them hoes start more wars than we do
|
Circle, cycle, three sixty trifling
|
When a baby is born somebody else life end
|
From the birth canal to the hearse, we enlighten
|
|
[Interlude: Capone]
|
The family is the family
|
This oath is this oath
|
And I will die before I break it
|
And when we grow, we grow as one

"I've sworn an oath"

[Capone:]
|
Aiyo, dead bodies found in the building, OD'ing on heroine
|
Early morning, needing they medicine
|
Elephant arms, used to control the bombs
|
Islam, ay Shallah, niggas bulletproof kufis
|
Just to live out another script in this life's movie
|
The corner's snatch you, murder if you have to
|
Dead niggas can't talk, they haunt like a castle
|
I wasn't the type that go out tagging
|
I spray your face like a PD, I was chopping and bagging
|
Capone-N-Noreaga, that's a blood oath, prick fingers
|
Like Albert Anastasia, the wildest nature
|
My calibrators on a higher level, I riot with the devil
|
Walk righteous, canaries in them bezel
|
Death before dishonor, money over bitches I'm my brother's keeper
|
I throw the world in the sleeper, I'm so eager to blast
|
Bilingual, I be speaking in cash
|
|
[Interlude: Raekwon]
|
The family is the family
|
This oath is this oath
|
And I will die before I break it
|
And when we grow, we grow as one

|
"I've sworn an oath"

|
[Raekwon:]
|
Shallah, a letter to the loyal, we dedicated, most of us elevated
|
Or fell into a pine box that's ultra suaded
|
Cast iron metal, new Beretta's, blue leathers
|
Snake bites, Timberlands, few gelettas
|
Reward me a God, I'm a multiple crop, multiple stocks
|
They violate us they get multiple shots
|
You might get picked off, or toast two with Heinekens
|
We under the building, designer gems on with uzi's, hoodie coogi's
|
All I know is prosper, lobster fish, this is a mobster dish
|
Fly around in Masi's, sipping sakes
|
Twenty one iron down allegiance, the days of repentance
|
We hate bosses, we just know the consequences
|
Used to sniff, pull out then squeeze, now I roll with a gift
|
My only rift is why we coaching them thieves
|
We just Allah babies, save us from the block, and keep our family one
|
And pray five times a day, saves alot
|
|
[Interlude: Busta Rhymes]

The family is the family

"I've sworn an oath"

[Busta Rhymes:]
|
Russian Roulette, nigga, PULL IT!
|
Shots tear smell us when you move like you stupid
|
Pop 'berg, water boil bubble when I cook it
|
Look it, the criminal mind niggas that's crooked
|
Speak third person, nigga, build with my liaison
|
We move quiet, nigga, more secretive than a Mason
|
Based on, the coppers handle niggas when they bust 'em
|
I'm honoring an oath, while we live by the old customs
|
Politic with foreign niggas, regular, we fly the jets
|
Speaking in code, when they struggle, unravel the dialect
|
Every kind of foreign currency is what we try to get it
|
Crap table gamble, nigga, hunt your million dollar bet
|
Better know I must collect, hope you got it for me
|
And an oath is something I lea |
