Shook Ones Pt. 1

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.

The most violent of the violent-lest crimes we give life to

If these QueensBridge kids don't like you

We bring drama of the worst kind of enemies

Your first time would be your last earth memories

It's only your own fault

I gave you fair warning..beware..

Of killa kids who don't care

Unaware fools who be dealt with in time

It ain't a mystery

Hop on the words and rhyme

In nineteeth hundred and ninety square

All shook niggaz is supposed to have fear

Trying to get a piece of this pie we don't share

Prepare for the worst cuz I been there

Try tah, keep a positive mind and walk a straight line don't

work

So niggaz is forced to do dirt

And God made ....

So this jerk wouldn't hurt

If I listen to the lessons and the rules I learnt

On the streets for nineteenth years

And not leaving

My first priority is to reach twenty one breathing

Forever beef

Nobody would ever be even

So I grab the heat before breathing

Lost in this foul mind state

I can't keep straight thinking

But I keep my eyes on the earth without blinking

It's hard to be a man in this land of the venom

Any man try to front

He get slugs in him

Because..

(Chorus / Prodigy):

He ain't a crook son..son, he just shook one..shook one...

We live the life that of diamonds and guns

And numerous ways that we choose to earn funds..earn funds...

Some niggaz get shot, locked down and turned nuns

Cowardly hearts send straight up shook ones..shook ones...

He ain't a crook son, he just a shook one..shook one...

(Havoc):

For every rhyme I write

Is 25 to life

To all my peoples in the Bridge

Know what I'm talking 'bout, right

Ain't no time for hesitation

That only leads to incarceration

You don't know me, there's no relation

Cuz Queens niggas don't play

I don't got time for the he say, she say

I'm bigga than dat

Claiming that you packing gats

But you scared to get locked

Once you get upon the Island

Change your ways and stop

Thirteen years in the projects, my hard times of living

Wake up in the morning

Thank God I'm still living

Sometimes I wonder, do I deserve to live?

Or I am going to hell for all the shit I did

No time to dwell on that

Cuz my brain reacts

Front if you want nigga

Lay on ya back

I don't fake jax

Kid, you know I bring it to ya live

Stay in a child's place, kid you outta line

Criminal mind thirsty for recognition mission

I'm strictly sipping E&J like got my mind flipping

I'm buggin diggin ..... over hustling

Get that loot kid

You know my motherfucking function

Cause as long as I'm alive

I'ma live illegal

And once I get it

I'ma put it on my people

React quick to lyrics

Like macs I hit...

Your dome up

When I roll up, don't get caught sleepin'

'Cause I'm creepin' ...

...You just a shook one

(Chorus / Prodigy):

We live the life that of diamonds and guns

And numerous ways that we choose to earn funds

Some niggaz get shot, locked down and turned nuns

Cowardly hearts send straight up shook ones..shook ones...

He ain't a crook son, he just a shook one..shook one...

We live the life that of diamonds and guns

And numerous ways that we choose to earn funds

Some niggaz get shot, locked down and turned nuns

Cowardly hearts send straight up shook ones..shook ones...

He ain't a crook son..crook son, he just a shook one..shook

one...

Yeah...
