Success (DJ Premier Remix)
[Intro]
Yeah
Goin' out to everybody livin' the life
All my real n***as, uh
Yeah

[Chorus]
Drugs is the key to success
Money is the key to sex
The life is gettin' cash, drinkin' liquor, smokin' cess
The games people play
The names people slay
It's just another ordinary day
Drugs is the key to success
Money is the key to sex
The life is gettin' cash, drinkin' liquor, smokin' cess
The games people play
The names people slay
It's just another ordinary day

[Verse 1]
One's for the cash, two's for every blunt's ash
Three's for all the 40 brews corner crews devour
Four's for the drugs, sex, and power
I be the top dollar scholar, rockin' gold collars
While you tryna sip the juice, I'm takin' swallows
Step into my zone and get blown
My ways are internationally known
Yeah, in case you haven't heard the rep
Have an appetite for beef and get hand fed led
Rapid-fire echoes through your, vicinity
Why you messin' with this n***a from Trinity?
For every shell that fell, there's a story to tell
But it's a fine line between grapevines and wines, nah'mean?
There's no room for snitches and loud bitches
But it's always room for riches and deep ditches
That's how it be in this everlasting game
Declarin' war on cocks, and leavin' chumps slain
So maintain, and put the frontin' to a rest
Or today'll be the grand openin' of your chest (Of your chest)
Success, triple beam, nah'mean?
Dollar dollar bill
[Chorus]
Drugs is the key to success
Money is the key to sex
The life is gettin' cash, drinkin' liquor, smokin' cess
The games people play
The names people slay
It's just another ordinary day
Drugs is the key to success
Money is the key to sex
The life is gettin' cash, drinkin' liquor, smokin' cess
The games people play
The names people slay
It's just another ordinary day

[Verse 2]
The streets are full of vengeance, and it's expensive
If you don't organize your words right in your sentence
Twelve gauge holes take souls and lives are lost
Who said an arm and a leg was a high cost to toss?
Things are done different in my zip code
Hollow tips implode, dum-dums explode
Now your crew is screamin' like they see demons when I reload
You can't comprehend, act like you want it for clarity
I'm pushin' wigs, handin' out jigs like charity
You best to get your groove on, or get moved on
Or play the hot stepper, and die with your shoes on
I collects ass and cash
While my crew consumes liquor and hash, and keep the stash
Whether, hustlin' or tustlin' we get busy with ours
T.S., T.A.T., respect for miles
The Bronx is the turf, South is the area
Bring ten, bring twenty, the more guns the merrier
Nobody's bad as me, no cops nabbin' me
Front if you dare and I'll change your whole anatomy
For real, uh
[Chorus]
Drugs is the key to success
Money is the key to sex
The life is gettin' cash, drinkin' liquor, smokin' cess
The games people play
The names people slay
It's just another ordinary day
Drugs is the key to success
Money is the key to sex
The life is gettin' cash, drinkin' liquor, smokin' cess
The games people play
The names people slay
It's just another ordinary day
Drugs is the key to success
Money is the key to sex
The life is gettin' cash, drinkin' liquor, smokin' cess
The games people play
The names people slay
It's just another ordinary day
