[Intro]
I got that long money, cristo ya dig?
Glass of V.S.O.P. just to get the mote started ya know
Shakedown for life
This shakedown for life
(All the way from the west side of Flatbush Ave)
Shakedown for life
(Bring it back home ya know what I mean)
We connected for life (what it be like...)

[Verse 1]
From the depths of the sea, back on the block
Was a G by the name of Hard Rock
Then move that hard rock, went solo, flood the strip
30 days flat, flood my wrist
Even if I love my bitch, I thug my bitch it's in my nature
I don't chase nothing but the paper
Fuck up my trap, no stunting I'ma waste ya
Put lead in ya then erase ya
Murk on the Harley, hit the block, post up with my army
Shakedown in here, Arm & Hammer in here
You know the red bandana in here
Nothing but the basics, it's uncut - taste it
Roll with my team right or wrong
I ride for my n***as, die for my n***as on
Take that for what it's worth
Can't gage what the loyalty is worth, it's a G thang
[Chorus]
Shakedown for life
This Shakedown for life (my side to yo' side)
Shakedown for life
We connected for life (keep it 100)
Shakedown for life (you feel me?)
This Shakedown for life (that SD shit)
Shakedown for life (come fuck with it)
We connected for life

[Verse 2]
Lights, cameras, dress to perfection
Arm, hammer, 16 shot selection
Round here we throw them hollows like it's a Western
Got it in check, like the herbs that I step in, out
Money and clothes I been 'bout
Paper chaser, I'm En route, sip the gin 'til I make the pour spin out
Or I make them waves spin out, what you know about it?
Cafe wake 'em up they dozing
Ecstasy flow for hoes, I keep 'em rolling
Kill 'em with different strokes and they be knowing
Send 'em to David Bling, now they frozen
B's on my fitted, B's on them wheels
Tell them hoes come and get it
Be what I scream, make 'em flee when I spit it
Move that rock round and round, don't lose pivot
Fuck you gon' do with me?
[Chorus]
Shakedown for life
This Shakedown for life (we ain't going nowhere, n***a)
Shakedown for life
We connected for life (we multiply, ya dig?)
Shakedown for life
This Shakedown for life (y'all be knowing)
Shakedown for life (yeah)
We connected for life

[Verse 3]
I took the cocaine money
Brought it to the club, made it hurricane money
And show the OGs, I got the same money
They got, just my shit it's big faces, and I don't give a fuck
Cocky 'bout my style, I'd never give it up
This a jack move on you fools, get 'em up
I talk money, the money give you power
And n***as like me make the money from the flour
Round my way, they call me mister softy
And I was only selling coffee, I'm the Cafe
Hustler turned rapper, class A
Never knew that you would ever do it that way
Eat every plate like it's my last supper
Rush Hour, R does it like Chris Tucker
All the gangstas that's in the one upper
No longer in the physical... nothing but love for ya, ya dig!?
[Chorus]
Shakedown for life
This Shakedown for life (my side to yo' side)
Shakedown for life (west side of Flatbush Ave)
We connected for life (nothing but a G thang, Arm & Hammer Man)
Shakedown for life (Shakedown for life)
This Shakedown for life (Mack 1-0, what's popping?)
Shakedown for life (Konvict)
We connected for life (Izzr)
