74 Lyrics

[00:00.46] You like Amar'e Stoudemire with dreads
[00:02.64] Bobbleheads, chatterboxes flappin' but I got a lot 'em fed
[00:06.09] Common head cold-level, minor setbacks, minor threats
[00:09.69] To blockin' it's kinda Steph, step back
[00:12.03] Ya shit is not knockin' like the feds
[00:13.90] Don't get your head cracked lackin' common sense
[00:16.76] On a whim I felt it, in mi casa you don't got no wins
[00:19.69] Just to match the losses I don't have in your gym
[00:22.97] Opposites attract opulence, the mud wouldn't stick
[00:26.29] The sun make it so my soul's crumblin'
[00:28.74] They dug it when they was young
[00:30.50] More than one hole in one with no mulligan
[00:32.92] Sellin' kids culture with death, circlin' like carrion
[00:36.79] The more the merrier, phone got you livin' vicarious
[00:40.41] I smell it 'cause it's so hot
[00:42.22] The veil lifts, the pain salient
[00:44.60] Niggas started choppin' at the road blocks
[00:46.93] As far as tracks, we goin' off
[00:48.65] Brought the Stroganoff beef, Holy War
[00:50.80] You know it's not unique to your boy at all
[00:53.22] It's comin' out the teeth
[00:54.92] Streets flooded like the pants weren't touchin' the sneak
[00:57.85] They rain dancin' on this, no, they stomp
[01:00.32] On all accounts, paid the cost to see this far
[01:02.96] I'm not on board with the board you try and lead me on
[01:06.00] I'm pullin' strings, it's time to let me off
[01:07.99] The cook'll send you
[01:09.26] Protect your neck and don't forget the heart
[01:11.09] We upper echelon with it
[01:13.20] That's what they're checkin' for
[01:14.65] I'm givin' a fed a conch for them
[01:16.34] I'm duckin' when the quiver launch missiles in the dark
[01:19.24] Miss me with the glib remarks, switch hitta
[01:21.85] Keep the innings long, nigga
[01:23.01]
