The Rep Grows Bigga

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You do your first bid and dirt to get your name known

You never talk too much to get your spot blown

Now youre no longer just a face in the crowd

Youre gettin so much respect that niggaz might as well bow

And movin up with your hustle like you planned it

Rakin dough like the worlds greatest bandit

Always got one eye open, for the stick-up kids postin

So much cream chumps they cant understand it

Ladies flock to your jock like its golden

Curious, to test the weight you be holdin

But you aint got no time, to be chasin felines

If shes the chick that you pick then she gets chosen

People treat you like youre ghetto royalty

And all your staff shows you utmost loyalty

You paid your dues, refuse to lose in this scenario

The rep grows bigga, youre a legend and a hero

Your fame has gotten larger than your life

Youve got a harem of bitches and killer niggaz thats hype

They got your back, but you so fly you dont need em

You shit what youre eatin so you dont peep the proceedings

They start schemeing, feeling that youre too swollen

And thats the reason why your cash and stash gets stolen

You start perspiring, because youre paranoid

Still another confrontation that you couldnt avoid

Prepare for drama, as if you were a stunt man

Back in the days you was a forty and a blunt man

Today youre a willie, now the weathers too chilly

New york city aint the place to be frontin

Over your shoulders day and nights where you look

Your so-called fam ran a scam, and you got shook

Go back to square one, better go talk to your son

See reps grow bigga in the life of a crook

Years ago, we were new jacks to this scene

Showed some effort, made fat records, but still saw no green

Know what I mean? they tried to stifle us

Nigga you could not believe how really ill and trife it was

Fed up so we headed on a serious mission

Wishin, that we could better our position

Two businessmen, guru and prim, we enterprised

Too strong to be stepped on, creatively wise

The dedicated ministers of underground sound

When were doin our thing, you know we dont fuck around

No matter how bizarre and different you think you are

Your team wouldnt dream of competeing with gangstarr

Premier in the rear with the beats and cuts

And guru with the mic ready to tear shit up

Take us out the game nigga? how you figure?

The name is well kept, and the rep just gets bigga
