Prodigy of Mobb Deep
Off the Wall
[Bridge: Boldy James]
You can see the lights from the new moon, once every blue moon
Twice every two noons, life in the grow room

(Drink) Love
(Live) Life
(Think) Loyalty
(Smoke) Gametime
(Drink) Mafia
(Live) Watelse?
(Think) Let's get it
[Verse 1: Boldy James]
Ain't nuthin promised to a n***a but the clink
And I can't die, so I hit the wood and took a drink
For my hitters in the bing and my critters in the grave
Higher than a motherfucker reminiscing in the days
On the times in the gutter, when my mind wasn't cluttered
I remember it like yesterday, them was the days
Now we live in the age it's legal to own a gauge
And killers is underage, so you can't put your vest away
Cause ten years today, we was on haze
When my n***a got grazed from a stray when it ricocheted
Went through his ribcage and it struck a vein
As he bled out, the blood ran down the drain
As I ran out the house, seen my n***a lay
Middle of the street, letter T, number seven Js
Saw the look on his face, my face expression changed
He in a better place, so in his name, I'ma

(Smoke) Gettin money
(Drink) Stay on the block
(Live) We punchin' in on a time lock
(Smoke) Weighin' on a scale
(Drink) Stayin outta jail
(Live) We livin' off the wall
No promise for tomorrow
[Verse 2: Prodigy]
Yo look
I don't get along with these n***as, maybe something wrong with me
I trust none of these n***as, they all out to get me
I calculate my moves, before I step foot
Why would I trust you? I don't know you that good
But I never live like a scary n***a
I step to my demons, I don't hop for them n***as
When you get to know me, you learn I'm a wild boy
Ever since I was a kid, I knew my voice
Would be heard worldwide if I told my story
Cause everybody love a good underdog story
I was the runt nobody wanted
Little sick skinny puppy who the world disregarded
I wasn't supposed to live this long
But God showed a little favoritism for the lil' lord
And blessed me with the gift of pain
And that pain made me who I am today
That's why I smoke, drink, live, think very deeply
My philosophy today is
Fuck the world and don't ask me for shit
And anything you get you got to work hard for it, n***a
