[intro: inspectah deck]
6
Yo, yo, murderous specialist tactics
7
In effect y'all, in effect y'all
8
In effect y'all, yo, yo
9
Yea, it's all about, it's all about
10
It's all about how you live it

14
Yo, a big time slinger named ty from bed-stuy
15
Had all the drug blocks locked on the westside
16
Nickels and dimes, sellin drugs of all kinds
17
But never seen on the streets in the day time
18
When it gets dark and the clock strikes six
19
If you standin on the block, you gots to face the click
20
Prepare to be stuck, young buck, you wanna gamble?
21
Got to pay dues if you plan to scramble
22
Ty has spots, glocks, knots in the web for throwin away cops
23
He had a piece named alice, she was no joke
24
Quick to wet a nigga who tryin to cut throat
25
But, yo, ty was no new jack, he knew that
26
He was marked for death 'cause niggaz had contracts
27
He had mad uzis in his crib
28
He paid 300 g's in the boondocks in jersey
29
And at his lab was the '98 lex with the rag
30
He never drove 'cause he moves in cabs
31
A veteran in art of drug peddlin
32
No one could stop him or knock him 'cause he's headed in
33
The direction that gets his click filthy rich
34
For gettin paid on the night shift
35
"everyone's got to make a livin" (x4)
36

37
On the shadowy midtown streets, there's a hooker
38
Crafty-ass hoe by the name of brown sugar
39
Large as a blimp, mad miss wearin garments
40
Like mink coats 'cause she cut her pimp's throat
41
The ordinary prostitute, she got the power u
42
Made niggaz come back, spendin mad loot
43
Her style's wild with the blade in her purse
44
Slice her twice before you feel the first
45
Sweatin madison avenue high-class bars
46
With plenty of broadway stars and fly cars
47
Swingin her back to the labs that they rest at
48
Hittin her off with stacks for her sex acts
49
And all types of expensive merchandise
50
Diamonds, gold, whatever fits the price
51
Yo, she didn't need no man, she had the upper hand
52
Walkin around with grands wrapped in rubber bands
53
For real, she was colder than blue steel
54
Millitant bitch with a switch and high heals
55
Daylight strikes, yo, the hoe was out of sight quick
56
And at night, she's back on the strip for the night shift
57
"everyone's got to make a livin" (x4)

59
Yo, a kid named keith, he's a professional car thief
60
Cops give him props, his pops is the police chief
61
Model citizen, no jail convictions
62
Night time, flippin on a stolen car mission
63
Roll up in parkin lot, find a dark spot
64
Grab the screwdriver, pop the car lock
65
One hand pose, layin by the windows
66
Tryin to get the dough before the chop shop close
67
No acs, no macks, no jeeps and cheddars
68
Benzes, lexes, 50 grand and better
69
Tenants organized to stop his ball
70
But he gots the fall to get paid and make a pocket full
71
Early am, he's at it again
72
Pop the trunk, snipped the alarm and made his way in
73
Then make his way out without a doubt
74
On a route to get hit, with a nice large amount
75
For the night shift
76
"everyone's got to make a livin" (x4)
