Animal

[Hook: Rap Samples]

[Notorious B.I.G.: x4]

I've been in this game for years, the name is The Animal

[Notorious B.I.G.:]

It's rules to this shit

[Intro: AZ]

Yea, enough respect

The Bad Boy, Death Row, No Limit

Rap-a-lot, Roc-a-fella, Cash-Money, Ruff Ryders

So-So-Def, The Inc.

And all the incarcerated Scarfaces from ghetto to ghetto

Now introducin' to you a new Empire

Quiet Money Records and Hush Management

Formely presents - yours truly

[Verse 1: AZ]

I'm praised for wicked word-play

Emerge from my Earth days

Was boxed in the Bird Cage

Now flock wit the Mermaids

A shorty wop, 'til I copped then I turned age

Saw it unfold, certain laws are untold

Unsolved Mysteries, coffins is closed

A Carnivore trickery, cautions your road

Any slip-ups will be huntin' your shows

So neva get it twisted nigga, keep an Iron Biscuit witcha

Beast promoted, the street's is coded

For the Naked eye times is too deep to notice

Yea I specialize in rhymes, but I peep the bogus

On every known level, I'ma stone cold Rebel

Clothes is crisp, I rolls Gold the Wrist

I was schooled how to tuck, hide and hold the fifth

How to crush, cut, divide and supply the sniff

So if the truth ain't need, then the truth can't be

I've been in this game for years, the name is The Animal

[NaS:]

Peeps that's into Drug money, Market into rap

[Notorious B.I.G.:]

I've been in this game for years, the name is The Animal

[Prodigy of Mobb Deep:]

I'm fallin' and I can't turn back

[Notorious B.I.G.:]

[NaS:]

Peeps that's into Drug money, Market into rap

[Prodigy of Mobb Deep:]

The street's is ki's

[Notorious B.I.G.:]

I've been in this game for years, the name is The Animal

[Prodigy of Mobb Deep:]

I'm fallin' and I can't turn back

[Verse 2: AZ]

From base potter to that hard rock white

We all hustlers, live that hard knock life

Some get knocked, and their Hearts not right

Cuffed up in the air, met this charge that night

We all know that the Narc's ain't nice

But.. that's the price when your bars ain't tight

The Beast within release within, you get caught-up lose trust

You don't speak to friends, you lose lust

Rarely fuck, you just seekin' Sin

You know ducks stay glizzly and love to get busy

The stakes is high, the bench is long

A few wakes niggaz cry, you live, you gon'

If you escape, rules apply, kids is born

And the game won't change, it's the same ol' game

And I can't turn back

[Verse 3: AZ]

And my mind been back was since puffin' on the back-woods

Clutchin' on them clappers, and duckin' from them crackers

Neva been in Nappa, neva fuck wit no Rappers

I'm so gon' wit it, but I'm so long winded

Seen the worst, when I seen my first

Body get caught, I was prolly this short

The victim right beside me, stressed on the sidewalk

But you neva seen a man cry, 'til you seen a man die

The killer shots, the realer the co-op

If you could realer, then it's similar plots

Then if not, you won't familiar, you a squilar

You no dilla you hot, fuck around get the whole block locked

But neva me, I've been Boss playin', cookin' up sautéin'

'Til I saw another dough, I had to force a nigga weighin'

Now in all Black wit the Gloves and Hat

I'm so deep in it, that I can't turn back
