[Intro: Inspectah Deck (sample)]
2
(Everybody on the grind, son) 8 million stories in the naked city
3
(Everybody trying to eat) (It's always gonna be a struggle, in this hustle)
4
This is just one (Trying to bubble, trying to live this) Realize..
5
[Inspectah Deck]
6
We dance with the wolves, wrestle with the pitbulls
7
For fistfuls of dollars and cents, we empty pistols
8
Plotting out elaborate scams to get our hands on some
9
Lofts of land or maybe, thoughts of plans and they be
10
Forcing my hand to make me, off this man
11
I never claimed killer, I came iller stayed realer
12
Our chance grows, traveled the globe, fans applauded
13
But my heart still roaming the streets, they still calling
14
Boat names with cocaine dreams screaming "I own the game!"
15
I'm so stained Novacaine doesn't slow the pain
16
Lost so many I don't fear death, no tears left
17
Numbers of my years left, blessed to be here left
18
When they said "At fifteen he'll be already dead"
19
I'm here heavy head steady sipping R탩my Red
20
Wild fellow trying to keep my mind settled
21
Child of the ghetto, survived where nines echo
22
[Chorus: Inspectah Deck]
23
I'm just a city guy living fly getting high
24
Live it till I die getting by, whipping by
25
Stand solidified big times to different sides
26
Here's your ticket right, follow if you feel my vibe... (My vibe)
27
[Inspectah Deck]
28
Yo, we caped up, ten in the lab, weapons to blast
29
One with the city, fight for sections of land
30
Can't sleep till the check's in my hand
31
It's still a hustle, bare knuckle grind knee deep inside the struggle
32
I don't give a fuck about much but my beloved and such
33
'Cause nobody to trust but us
34
It's New York life, walk like what you talk like
35
Or you might get tossed right off the ninth floor
36
Every day is war, rhoaming through the wasteland
37
Focused, trying to make grands
38
Hammers poaking out the waistband
39
In this cash race, they can't stand the pace
40
I plan to make millions and marinate
41
Across town my Fam is straight
42
Cash rules, so naturally it had me
43
The temptress teasing me, I lust badly
44
She said "You want professional and records sold? Let it go"
45
And I replied "This is the only life I'll ever know..."
46
[Hook: Inspectah Deck]
47
(It's the only life I'll ever know... You know?)
48
I trust, in no one but us
49
Trust, in no one but us
50
Trust, in no one but us
51
[Inspectah Deck]
52
Yeah, years later, hey I made it, no explaining how
53
Walking forward through the fire while it rain down
54
We claim Sex & Slang and aim weapons
55
But still trying to live the +Good Times+ like James Evans
56
And, we'll stick you for your shine
57
(Hustle) Nickel for a dime
58
(Trouble) This you're gonna find
59
(Muscle) If you wanna grind
60
(Struggle) Digits on the mind
61
(Couple) Figures for the crime
62
(Scuffle) Fists or with the nine
63
(Bubble) Living on the line (The line, the line...)
64
[Chorus]
