family business

Where I was born, nothing is promised
My life is filled with less hope than the prophecies of Nostradamus
Omega marks the ending of predictability, birth of agility
Who will it be to test me and expose their futility
Iron like a lion from Zion stop tryin so hard
I think I smell your brain cells fryin
The familys behind you if youre worthy
Philosophies developed deep in the back streets of dirty Jersey
Troops with scully hats and Timberland boots
No more break-dancing for loot
Niggas hustle and shoot
In the Garden State, it grows stink weeds and criminals
Government funds are minimal
Oppressions subliminal
These days its hard for we to find peace of mind
Between insanity and sanity there lies a thin line
Some dwell in hotels with Jezebels
A stone age and fall a victim to the Plague
Unclean bad dreams of Wyclef being a fiend

One last kiss from my sweet serpentine
Eliminate then break
Navigate to rejuvenate thoughts of suicide with my nickel plate
Reconciliation came from my enemy-friend
Who said family dont bend
We stay silent till the end
Now who would think that your best friend
Would be your worst enemy and your enemy your best friend
Stare into the air inspiration from the atmosphere
I think of old ghosts, that aint even here
Like Alex Haley take notes on this Biography
My family tree consists of street refugees
A ghetto land , where we talk slang
Stolen cars bang, like my chitty bang-bang sh-bang
For the heads, we ain't sellin cocaine today
So refrain and let my family reign okay
Just walkin the streets death can take you away
Its never guaranteed that youll see the next day
At night the evil armies of Shaton dont play
So defend the family thats the code to obey
But if I fall asleep and death takes me away
Dont be surprised son, I wasnt put here to stay
At night the evil armies of Shaton dont play
So the family sticks together and we never betray
Nah fuck that
Fifty-two pick up, no cops around
Fifty-two thousand in cash, I dont want no savings bonds
Have the money ready, I smell something fishy
Your wifes in my custody
One false move and youll find her body in the sea
Thats the voice of the kid, thats the kidnapper
I do my work and then I catch my ticket to Jamaica
Meet me in the alley, make sure you bring the money
This aint the seventies Im far from a jive turkey
My circle it cant be broken
Open, cut-throatin, provokin
Record promotin, tokens chokin on they words like smoke and
Cause we soft spoken, doesnt mean that weve forgotten
Your bootie smells rotten and one day you will be gotten
See jokers is scatter-brained, their focus is unrestrained
My army is trained, you never find us beefin in vain
Cause Ive seen fire and Ive seen rain

You claim fame, while modest niggas remain
I can judge a character like Ito judge a verdict
And if you bringin threats I give you sex if I aint heard it
See poppin shits about your attitude and how you word it
Ive seen the biggest niggas on the block get murdered
And they deserved it
Or so the beast said when they served it
That shit is nervous
So whats my purpose?
Family, we must preserve it
Your numbers retired
I hope you like the hell fires
Youll be screamin Murder she Wrote like Chaka Demus and Pliars

Just walkin the streets death can take you away
Its never guaranteed that youll see the next day
At night the evil armies of Shaton dont play
So defend the family thats the code to obey
But if I fall asleep and death takes me away
Dont be surprised son, I wasnt put here to stay
At night the evil armies of Shaton dont play
So the family sticks together and we never betray
We used to jump rope
But now we gun hope
Bustin shots off of project roof tops
Sending signals with the blunt smoke
Ock, dont talk a lot if you cant hold it in lock
If you think lips sink ships
Imagine full glock clips
I hold a glass of Remy Martin
Gettin milks by the carton
Extortin the light weights for thinkin they important
The night pays and heavenly ways
Aint nothin free ah
Knowledge of your family and steppin to your B.I.
You see I, stay on top of shit like a fly
My niggas reach when they got beef
Then jet down to South Beach
Yo mouthpiece isyappin
I hear it in your rap and
My family is thick so that bullshit could never happen
Just walkin the streets death can take you away
Its never guaranteed that youll see the next day
At night the evil armies of Shaton dont play
So defend the family thats the code to obey
If I fall asleep and death takes me away
Dont be surprised son, I wasnt put here to stay
At night the evil armies of Shaton dont play
So the family sticks together and we never betray
