Lyrics
New Jack Theme
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.
Buy and die
Or sell and be free
We are the new jacks
This is our reality
Do unto others
Leave no one alive
This is our creed
We will survive
No control is how I'm living
On the edge with no forgiving
Things get rough when you've got time to kill
You've got the cash
Then I've got your thrill
I make more money than a judge or a cop
Give me a reason why I should stop
Large is how I'm living
On the edge with no forgiving
Some people say my soul is lost
I'll lose my life if I start to turn soft
From where I am there's no turning back
Crack is the master I am a new jack
Can anybody see me?
Can anybody hear me?
I'll never change
I'll never stop
I've got cold cash
I'm on the top
We can get busy if you want to play
I'll have the last laugh when I blow you away
Don't you see me?
Can't you hear me?
