Rock the house
East New York, East New York
East New York, East New York
East New York, East New York
East New York, East New York
To my n—a AZ to the fullest

We was already loyal to people’s minds and mulianis
Now we more f—ed up with a mayor named Guliani
You can try to bomb me analyze but can’t define me
My mind’s divine heavily entwined with Ghandi’s

Far from feeble, I leave your nostrils hard to breathe through
‘Cause my cerebrals are more of a higher plane than the Hebrews
Well my mic devotion brings out my deepest emotions
Overdosing wannabes posing sending them through convulsions

To hard to follow, you took a bite but couldn’t swallow
Your mind’s boggled but I’m as deep as Donald Goines novels
My whole persona’s kinda laid back like a recliner
And since my mama, I been f—ing with marijuana

Intro: (first three lines LP only)

I had a bad dream
Don’t be afraid, bad dreams are only dreams
What a time you chose to be born in…

Babies crying brothers dying and brothers getting knocked
S–t is deep on the block and you got me locked down
in this cold, cold world…

Verse One: The GZA

It was the night before New Year’s, and all through the f–kin projects
Not a handgun was silent, not even a Tec
Outside as I’m stuck, by enemies who put fear
and blasted on the spot before the pigs were there
You know hoods robbers snipers new in sight f–k blue and white
They escape before them flash the f–kin lights
Gunshots, shatter first floor window panes
Shells hit the ground and blood stained the dice game
Whether broke callisthenic, any style you set it
Beat n—az toothless, physically cut up like gooses
But with iron on the sides thugs took no excuses
Therefore, your fifty-two handblocks was useless
Links was snatched off necks, scars on throats
Jackets took, after bullet rips through coats
Against those who felt the cold from the steel made em fold
and squeal, once the metal hit the temple of his grill
Destruction worker, who was caught for his bomber
No time to swing the hammer that was hangin from his Farmer’s
And it’s bugged how some n—az catch slugs
