Hey, this is cooking with Brook

On the cooking channel

Today we're gonna be making crack

First take 36 ounces of coke

Mixing it with water in a pot on the stove

Next step to make them boulders add, baking soda

If the flame is low then turn it up and stir it up

Finally, just wait till it gets hard

Then bag it up, you got a key

Homie, that's the recipe, that's the recipe

That's the recipe

First take 36 ounces of coke

Mixing it with water in a pot on the stove

Next step to make them boulders add, baking soda

If the flame is low then turn it up and stir it up

Finally, just wait till it gets hard

Then bag it up, you got a key

Homie, that's the recipe, that's the recipe

That's the recipe

Before you decide to elect yourself in the game of dope

Better know that it is cut throat

Can't be cracking under pressure when your backed in a corner

Against the ropes

They ain't calling it snitching no more

They calling it telling the truth

They say you better get down first

Before they decide to get down on you

Mixing it up, shake and bake

It's 2008, they got more data than '88

We used to make crazy cake, flipping weight

Gotta get in and out before it be too late

I don't want to be 6 feet under

So I pack and tote my thump

Suckas want to hate and block my thunder

'Cause I got more kicks than a punter

Murder rates go up in the summer

Killers go hunting like a hunter

(How good can you live?)

You can live good for 6 years

But then it's football numbers

First take 36 ounces of coke

Mixing it with water in a pot on the stove

Next step to make them boulders add, baking soda

If the flame is low then turn it up and stir it up

Finally, just wait till it gets hard

Then bag it up, you got a key

Homie, that's the recipe, that's the recipe

That's the recipe

Chef for the year, better yet, the fucking century

Dread head killers with me before dem up insolate

I'm in the kitchen scrapping up the pottery

Working with my hands like the maestro at the symphony

Sniff, I'm cocaine, shawty, take a wiff off me

Stiff a liffy pisso nigga come and comprehend from me

Talk slick to me, E40 style, you hearing me?

Got a green skirt and I bought it off a recipe

Hella p's, hella keys, yellow, purple, readily

Put me in the feds if these crackers on the recipe

33 yellow D's purchased off my recipe

Heavy cocaine in the G, plus I got a recipe

First take 36 ounces of coke

Mixing it with water in a pot on the stove

Next step to make them boulders add, baking soda

If the flame is low then turn it up and stir it up

Finally, just wait till it gets hard

Then bag it up, you got a key

Homie, that's the recipe, that's the recipe

That's the recipe

Well, it's chef boy a Bun B, the king of the kitchen

I got exactly what you need to do your thing when you pitching

Guarantee to add a few layers of bling on your stitching

Bein' teeded in your chest get you stinging and itching

Got to have the right ingredients before you can start

Like 1 part gangsterism with 1 part heart

2 parts of keeping it G and add you one hundred

Milligrams of a killer, man and you'd had done it

Put it all inside a Cadillac with them 3's and them 4's

Swang wide and mix scurrily while skating on vogues

Don't forget to shake them haters off homie that's a necessity

Now you done made you a trill, nigga, now that's the recipe

First take 36 ounces of coke

Mixing it with water in a pot on the stove

Next step to make them boulders add, baking soda

If the flame is low then turn it up and stir it up

Finally, just wait till it gets hard

Then bag it up, you got a key

Homie, that's the recipe, that's the recipe

That's the recipe
