F/ peter gunz

Remember this signature sound right here, coming up

Two seconds, one, one and a half, two seconds

[shaq & peter]

Uh, peter gunz like what

Uh, and big shaq like what

Uh, t.w.ism fam like what

Quick, uh

Yo, shaq

[shaq]

Now who's that bringing that heat like d'nero

Ride through your hood in a six-zero-zero

Cruisin' at the low speed of 10

You could take a look

Make a u-turn and see me again

Big shaq drop crews like quick

Got a little more g's

The one get 'em slick like rick

Makin' all you playa hata's sick

Ballin', actin', rappin', stackin' chips

Got a personal vendetta

For those who oppose my dogs

Shut your windows and close your doors

Hold the walls, watch how the clean get gritty

Seven-one coming straight from the brick city

And i'mma be frank like nitty

Even if i lose i'mma still get fi'ty

And you can ask peter, call 'em on my nokia

Or you can find him in the bronx in a two-seater

1 - now they can front and they can floss

But they never payed the cost

To be an inner city player ba-by

I like the way it's goin' down

I like the way it's goin' down

Now everybody they can hate

But they'll never take the place

Of an inner city player

I like the way it's comin' around

I like the way it's comin' around

No hata's allowed

[peter]

Yo, well i'm too hot to handle

Too cold to freeze, gunz

Ya never heard no rhymes like these

Maybe that's the reason i see wild g's

Bought a crib in the hill

And still push wild v's

Back up, gots to make way for the illest of the earth

Who represents the bronx to the fullest

Pete be the realest

Some come try test i

To the east side, to the west side, to the best

I burn like left-eye

Represent t.w.ism to the death

I rep i, maybe cuz you slept

I came up to wake that ass

Get your girl on the dance floor and shake that ass

Now, i'mma tell you playa hata's this

While you at the door gettin' frisked

If you don't wanna be lyin' stiffs

Go up in your wallet get your tips

And leave that other garbage in your wips

Repeat 1

[both]

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

(make 'em dance, make 'em dance)

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

(make 'em dance, make 'em dance)

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

(g1, make 'em dance)

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

(no hata's allowed)

[peter]

Now me and shaq is like batman and robin

And i'm robbin, straight muggin'

[shaq]

Hey yo, gunz stop buggin'

It's all about the benjamins

And the women in benz'es

And the lex'es, the girls wit the rolex'es

[peter]

Now i hear what you're sayin'

But these hata's tryin' to stop my flow

Sabotage things and block my dough

[shaq]

Yo, just rock your roll, dog

And kill 'em wit silence

You never get nowhere using violence

[peter]

Yeah, i know and you right

I'mma parlay, chill' and get cheddar

Laugh while they fall and i only get better

[shaq]

And you'll be the last man standing

Fannin', me and my man

With smoke coming out the cannon

Repeat 1

Repeat 1

Yo, quick make 'em dance

[both]

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

(g1 make 'em dance)

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

(no hata's allowed)

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

It's gotta be t.w.ism for life

(no hata's allowed)

Peter's got t.w.ism for life

Peter's got t.w.ism for life
