See no evil.. fear no evil.. speak no evil.. hear no evil..

If you don't bring that shit around you

You ain't got nuttin to worry about (uh-huh)

Yeah (yeah, uh-huh)

Knah-sayin?

Yo, yo yo yo

Carolyn, from Maryland, she Lady Heroin

She elegant -- her apparel in the M-Class caravan

Ki's of dope, lovin cats to ski in her dope

She fuck killers in her condo, her Benz and her boat

Her iced throat, ass is curvy, 40 years old

She passin for 30, Gucci framed glasses from Purvy's

Madison Ave., shoppin when she not, coppin bricks of that shit

She hoppin on dicks, ridin Pony's who trick

At my man's wake, she said the eulogy

After that I usually, bumped into her shoppin for jewerly

Her bodyguard screwin me, I gave her my math

Ain't nothin new to me, blowin backs out, six-pack Stout's

Wide fat mouth, the evil look, with a bow-leg

Yo niggaz said, "Shorty's a pro, she blow heads

She push the fo' red, she know Feds, Feds know her"

A code red, maybe she's out to slay me, this bitch is crazy

She blew the celly up, meet me at the telly to fuck

She knew about, cats from way back, we smoke the haystack

She never cough once, blunts was her hobby

She said I knew her man probably, no doubt, not since he tried to rob me

I jetted though, sometimes you never know

He snorted all her work, now she need me, to do her dirty work

It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..")

Nigga you reap what you sew

What goes around, comes around

If you sleep you don't know

A very small world ("It's a.. small world..")

where beef could never end

At the time you least expect it

I'ma see you again

It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..")

You get away with it now

Soon enough it catches up to you

Someway, somehow

Yo it's a small world

Watch what you do.. ("It's a.. small world..")

Snook from Redhook was grimy, did five years, glad to be home

from Attica known, for keepin chrome calibers

Smooth like a Wallaby shoe, he's out to get it

Five years plannin to blow, soon as he hit the bri-dicks

Had a girl in Woodside Queens, thought he was low

Played the crib for a month, and deaded his P.O.

Started robbin niggaz til he caught a whole kilo

He had a bunch of starvin niggaz he owe, he never paid though

Got large, sign on his door, "Don't knock hard"

Layin with his bitch, niggaz is rich, is what he told her

Played the block, holdin cracks inside the baby stroller

Here come his crazy soldier, six shots it's over

A year went past, Snook went flossin fast

His old man had crossed his ass, for the laws of this fast cash

It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..")

Nigga reap what you sew

What goes around, comes around

If you sleep you don't know

A very small world ("It's a.. small world..")

where beef could never end

At the time you least expect it

I'ma see you again nigga

It's a small world, no doubt ("It's a.. small world..")

You get away with it now

Soon enough it catches up to you

Someway, somehow

It's a small world

Watch what you do.. ("It's a.. small world..")

I seen death, seen thugs cry, it's bugged why

we let the slugs fly, enter your brain, through your skull

Another thug died, pitchin your soul, into that infinite

black hole, where many souls go cause of a fo'-fo' blast

Snook was one of em, so many more

Even that Fendi whore, got niggaz hit up yeah let that Henny pour

Carolyn, paid-up bitch, made bitch, stay rich

Heard her bodyguard took Snook to God

Carolyn when she needed him, he took the job

He was close to her, ever since she took him inside

When his moms died, dopefiend OD-ed, eighty-five

He went crazy, stuck up banks, to stay alive

He was live - do niggaz even know the things that he tried

Robbed armored trucks - incidents where po-lice died

He stayed in lower Eastside, peace God (peace God)

He starin at me hard

Two of his mans with him, I got to hit em

I'm reachin for my Roscoe, cocked it back on, and get my blast on

At the gas station, bunch of Arabs racin

out the way, as my Torah spray, jump in the whip

Hit the highway, you know how I say, the game that I play

It's real tendencies, when you feel your enemies

but can't figure out whose who, keep it true

Shit is cool now -- put the tools down? Never

Cause everyday is on, livin this life, out for this cheddar

It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..")

Nigga you reap what you sew

What goes around, comes around

If you sleep you won't know

A very small world ("It's a.. small world..")

where beef, never ends

At the time you least expect it

I'ma see you again

It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..")

You get away with it now

Soon enough it catches up to you

Someway, somehow

It's a small world

Watch what you do.. ("It's a.. small world..")

("I'm going to see you again..

Uh-huh.. I'm going to see you again.. nigga..

Uh-huh.. going to see you again nigga.. yeah..")
