Raekwon — Neither One of Us

[Intro] This for all them real niggas, man, that just be on some moves Study their history, know what time it is Move general, you heard? [Verse 1] Gold jewels ain’t my thing, kid, I’d rather wear none Them vehicles I fly around I gave to my son Growing grays, blowing haze, watching A Raisin in the Sun Young buck buying some Bucks, the suede ones My life story was right, shorty, cousins’ll fight for me Blood, let’s wild out, let’s ride for the white, call me Got older, got bolder, staircase days Forty ounces, big bags to blaze, wearing capes Bagging for hours, cooking up, wolves with power Hooking up, those devoured, weak niggas foul up No follow-up, then the connect came, we swallow up Paying more, then we came with short money, pile it up Rocking them niggas, they rocking us back Cause every day we thrust back, felt like the work’ll reverse that My worst cat’ll blow you in the church, black The day that we felt got jerked we came to two guns and three bats [Interlude: Gladys Knight sample] It’s sad to think We’re not gonna make it [Verse 2] We’ll break your legs for steak and eggs, the menu is taking regs Beef patties with cheese, a Widala state at Ted’s A money rich getting comrade, who fell in the storm Bagged him, now we strong as hell and no going backwards Leather jackets, new Astons, Mosans, crew flashing Jealousy around the corner, niggas got two castles Some with coke, some bubble capsules Some went and sold dope, some came back broke and asking The lifestyle is real, it can switch in a flash, kid From living right to living and gone in a splash, kid Think back to yesterday’s tactics, should’ve been an actor Blessings, then became a rapper [Outro: Gladys Knight sample] For some ungodly reason We just won’t let it die I guess neither one of us Wants to be the first to say goodbye
