[Verse 1 - Jadakiss]

The hood know what it is they know who I am
|
and they don't care what I scan but they know I'm the man
|
know I could bring 'em to the spot show them the grams
|
or I could bring 'em to the garage and show them the lam
|
know that I could show 'em the Range and show 'em the Beemer
|
and I could lift up my shirt and show them the steamer
|
Had ups and downs but I stil get along with 'em
|
Nobody hatin cause I ain't get on a song wit 'em
|
Yeah and I ain't out there pumpin
|
but I might slide through and give the crackheads somethin
|
Not only on my off time I be in the studio
|
usually though probably hit the block by my 4th rhyme
|
Think wit a boss mind lot of evil thoughts run across mine
|
I sell it if I could get it off fine and you already know I'm real
