[Part I: 24K Rap]

[Intro: Laura Lee & Havoc]
"Now— now— (Now—) now— (Now—)"
"I'm gonna slap him in the face
With the unexpected —expected —expected"
Yeah, one-two

[Verse 1: Havoc]
H-A-V-O, I'm iller, rocking over Dilla
Paint a picture clearer than a mirror
I come from that era where everything mattered
Lyrics counted for something, careers got shattered now
Everybody's rock stars, who am I to knock 'em though?
Daring something, if you do, you fall like a domino
Smoke a little tropical, n***as is so comical
But I been stopped laughing a long time ago
Ain't nothing funny, head knocked off shoulders
Everytime I spit, it's like I put the game to the cobra
Babies in the game, it's I'm pushing they stroller
Coming at me sideways, they in a rush to get older
First round is over
I ain't playing with them, know I wake 'em up like Folgers
I'm a general, believe that, ya'll nothing but soldiers
Like Cee, I'm a finisher, the number one closer
[Chorus: Raekwon & Havoc]
I'm about my business
Don't worry 'bout me, homie, mind ya business
'Cuz this is grown folks business
Nothing to do with you, so just mind your business
All day, every day, about my business
N***as keep talking, I'ma pop the biscuit
Keep playing, I'll have your brain leaking that liquid
Sit back, enjoy the flow

[Verse 2: Raekwon]
Yo, we project livers, lick that, live 'em
Run with a bag of cash and flip that wig up
Won't deny it, holding iron, flows is giant
Catch you with nine keys, supplying
Come to my town? Strap up
Underground kings with the crown, blacked down and blacked up
Reefer is the greatest, pay this, Las Vegas
Nineteen a pop, catch me up top, famous
Everything on my wrist, Swiss made
Run up in the Gucci shop, Glock warm, "Give me the Crys' Suede"
Everybody living to get paid
Everybody make it out the hood, or get sprayed, or get grazed
Yeah, yo, my style is triflin'
Anything on my neck, hands is lightning
Come tear it down, I might sing
Never on a stand, only my writing hand with bright links
With steel, baby bro
[Chorus: Raekwon & Havoc]
I'm about my business
Don't worry 'bout me, homie, mind ya business
'Cuz this is grown folks business
Nothing to do with you, so just mind ya business
All day, every day, about my business
N***as keep talking, I'ma pop the biscuit
Keep playing, I'll have your brain leaking that liquid
Sit back, enjoy the flow

[Verse 3: Havoc]
Yeah, beast mode, H-A-V-O
Dudes get popped, snitches sing like Ne-Yo
That's why you always catch me rocking for dolo
Police putting pressure, n***as acting all homo
Can't fuck with 'em, puff on that piff then I analyze
Looking for what it is, watch for the landmines
Run but you can't hide, lyrical landslide
Homicide, know about you, but I got mines
Grind like the gears on a Porsche, I'm so driven
Foot to the pedal, I'm heavy footed, there's no limit
No gimmick, what you see is what you get it
No skinny jeans, only thing fittin' is my fitted
Knowhatimean? Some of ya'll won't get it
I do my own thing, hold to my pivot
Yeah, life can be a bitch, but we live it
To the fullest, n***as just mad 'cuz we chilling
[Chorus: Raekwon & Havoc]
I'm about my business
Don't worry 'bout me, homie, mind ya business
'Cuz this is grown folks business
Nothing to do with you, so just mind ya business
All day, every day, about my business
N***as keep talking, I'ma pop the biscuit
Keep playing, I'll have your brain leaking that liquid
Sit back, enjoy the flow

Smoking more now, but getting high less???
