L'amour East

E train, last call, 10 deep, left em drippin'

Blacking out, catching wreck, fly tags - peace to griffen

Sneakers was scotty pippen, denim was probably guess

I’ve been laurenovich since then, rockin my snow beach vest

Dolo fresh ox on, polo bear socks on

Freak dancing in the backstreet with our glocks on

Hard rocks, hammers and heaters, they kept the blocks warm

Then we ejected, being gone before the cops swarm

Holdin' tecs never sex, we was not porn

Streets made us then they raised us, we are not born

Gang shit was on the rise, but most my clique was neutral

Go get a fucked up nigga why? Most my clique will shoot you

Blam blam, without beads or a bandana

Bullets will make your face blurry like a bad camera

Peace to queens nigga, home of that fly shit

Cop killa central, you die quick, wuddup tho?

Quarter to l’amour east, we all beasts

From across seas to cross queens, we all creeps

Heebie jeebies to l’amour east, we all beasts

Smoke pcp, kids get stabbed over graffiti beef

I took the 6 train to the bronx for infinity lessons

With the rise of the crack rock had the vicinity stressin'

My zulu medallion over whatever we was wearin'

In the late 80’s we wasn’t born wild, we was made crazy

That movie beat street was so misleading

‘Cause some of the breakers I knew were stick up kids that leave you cold and bleeding

It wasn’t a happier time, new york was a fucking mess

Little yellow envelope stuffed with skunk and cess

Then I’m in the back of the b train with a four finger ring and a gold rope

Didn’t look like a rapper, I looked like somebody that sold dope

And maybe I did cause back home was no hope

But maybe because rakim said he was no joke

And I wanted to be just like the god

Excelling my skill level, plus life was hard

Dog it was more realer back then, you would either deal or rap

The industry snatched from brooklyn, I steal it back

Double l train canarsie, fit tags, drippy markers

? Square, colluseum and 50 deep in king’s plaza

Flat leavers, crack slingers, cap peelers, rap singers

Blasted desert eagles, turning tracks forever ether

While the war planes scatter nukes

__ Splatter goons

Sauteed magic shrooms, more strange antic soon

Blast to? Paid in full, dog day afternoon

Had to pay my dues, 4 james after school

I snuffed john hayes in front of captain video?

Next to the arch diner?, joey haskall was with me too

That was before the gunplay and dapper dan? Jackets

Bootleg timbaland leathers and automatic ratchets

Before artie ___ blew his face off

Playin russian roulette after he vacuumed up an 8-ball

From childhood to manhood in king’s county

From my hood to yours we represent it proudly

Represent new york, represent rowdy

Represent my whole crew, represent howie

Quarter to l’amour east, we all beasts

From across seas to cross queens, we all creeps

Heebie jeebies to l’amour east, we all beasts

Smoke pcp, kids get stabbed over graffiti beef
