It’s bigger than the hip, hop

It’s bigger than the hip, hop

It’s bigger than the hip, hop

It’s bigger than the hip, hop

Trust, believe, ah, ah,

I ride for my niggas dog,

And we gotta stay alive just to get a job

The hood look like one big prison, yo

And death is the only visitor

They don’t want you at your best

That means stay at your worst

They wanna hear struggle bars

You wanna keep it classic burst

Niggas sleep with the fish like a pelican

Get that stitch for...

They killed pac he was too machiavelian

Stood that in the middle of a room like an elephant

Cause what he said was way too relevant

Never ignorant, way too intelligent

Now we gotta run this scared...

Used to kick dust in the air now we settling

Don’t want you to vote like an alien

Came here on a boat like alien

Guns...they want your dollars,

Gotta work for hours, it’s do...

10 Thousand hours strong,

Just to keep the light to the power on

This new new york feel wrong

Babylon’s here, but the tower’s gone

Victory’s so sweet but the oh yeah the taste is sour

That’s the agony of

Pulling out...rock them tubes

We on an island and stacking, falling manhattan

Like a big fan of the...

The brooklyn you know it got your chick

Spill your blood like a battering crips

Youngsters looking out for the same gang

Hunger and my belly got the same pain

Just same thang...pursuing the food

Just to maintain

The same thang when we bang bang

Let the fans hang

In pursuit of the food just to maintain.
