[Produced by Carlos "6 July" Broady & Nashiem Myrick] [Intro] 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 nothing to worry about (uh-huh) Yeah (yeah, uh-huh) Know what I'm saying? Yo, yo yo yo [Verse 1] Carolyn from Maryland, she Lady Heroin She elegant, her apparel in the M-Class caravan Keys of dope, loving cats to ski in her throat She fuck killers in her condo, her Benz and her boat Her ice fro, ass is curvy, 40 years old She passing for 30, Gucci framed glasses from Purvy's Madison Ave., shopping when she not, copping bricks of that shit She hopping on dicks, riding Pony's who trick At my man's wake, she said the eulogy After that I usually bumped into her shopping for jewellery Her bodyguard screwing me, I gave her my math Ain't nothing new to me, blowing backs out, six-pack Stout's Wide fat mouth, the evil look with a bow-leg Yo niggas 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 coughed once, blunts was her hobby She said I knew her man probably, no doubt, '96 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 [Chorus] It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..") Nigga you reap what you sow 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..") [Verse 2] Snook from Red Hook was grimy, did 5 years, glad to be home From Attica, known for keeping chrome calibers Smooth like a Wallaby shoe, he's out to get it 5 years planning to blow soon as he hit the bridicks Had a girl in Woodside Queens, thought he was low Played the crib for a month and deaded his P.O Started robbing niggas ‘til he caught a whole kilo He had a bunch of starving niggas he owe, he never paid though Got large, sign on his door, "Don't knock hard" Laying with his bitch, 'niggas is rich' is what he told her Played the block, holding cracks inside the baby stroller Here come his crazy soldier, 6 shots it's over A year went past, Snook went flossing fast His old man had crossed his ass for the laws of this fast cash [Chorus] It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..") Nigga you reap what you sow 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..") [Verse 3] I seen death, seen thugs cry, it's bugged why We let the slugs fly, enter your brain through your skull Another thug died, pitching your soul into that infinite Black hole where many souls go cause of a .44 blast Snook was one of ‘em, so many more Even that Fendi whore got niggas 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, dope fiend OD'd, '85 He went crazy, stuck up banks to stay alive He was live, do niggas even know the things that he tried Robbed armored trucks, incidents where police died He stayed in lower Eastside, peace God, he stared at me hard Two of his mans with him, I got to hit 'em I'm reaching for my Roscoe, cocked it back on And get my blast on, at the gas station, bunch of Arabs racing Out the way as my Taurus 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 [Chorus] It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..") Nigga you reap what you sow 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..") [Outro] 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
