[Part I]
[Intro]
Haha, so
[Verse]
Dear Joey Joe, I ain't expect my name to be spoken
That shit really hurt my heart, I can truly say that it's broken
I get it's just a bar, but when I sit down and focus
It's a coast jealousy that you n***as thought we ain't noticed
Y'all used to be the Mecca, you n***as was really goated
We heard your techniques and applied it while y'all was gloatin'
The sacrificial lamb, the soloist with no band members
Joey Kaepernick, nobody gon' take a stand with you?
Y'all used to have this texture of strugglin', really roughin' it
Hit a bumpy road, Slick fell off, now you on suckеr shit
West stayed the coursе, our name blew up and puffed a bit
And speakin' on Puff, you n***as been on some nutty shit, hah
[Interlude: REASON & Ma$e]
This ain't the New York I know
This ain't the New York I know
This ain't the New York I know
This ain't the New York I know
We're not your lil' n***as
Like the way you talk it, I don't, I don't get what you mean
We're not your little n***as, like for real, all that—
[Part II]
[Intro]
Never been dropped, had to slide for my interest
Left up a hunnid, ask God as my witness
Steppin' on my own 'cause I needed my percentage
Unique chain boy, I'm cold, independent
(Step one-two, step-step, one-two)
Haha, don't worry Ray Vaughn, I ain't gon— (Step-step, one-two)
I ain't gon' take your battle, I'm just— (Step-step, one-two)
Doin' a light jab off the principle (Step-step, one-two)
(Step-step, one-two, step-step, one-two)
Hahaha
(Step-step, one-two)
Dead homies (Step—)
[Verse]
The shot ain't direct enough, the fuck you mentioned me? I'm with the drama
The cypher was cold, I run it back for you and I leave your soul beside ya
I push a button like it's debit my n***a, I never sued but I settle it, n***a
The clip hungry, I done fed it, my n***a, we ain't Goodfellas, I'll Joe Pesci a n***a
Method actin' turnin' into personas, unique in your posture
I turn into Ronny if this 'bout the violence, but you ain't survivin'
It's the West turnin' up the temperature, you want the top spot? N***a, climb it
And the twenty-V, Joe, like I'm lockin' a phone, mention Reason, I'm pressin' and slidin'
I come and step over there n***a, ain't no respect over here, n***a
I would say, "Get in the booth", but fuck it, it's really-really left over there, n***a
Y'all went from rappin' on corners to be in the corner, it's dead over there, n***a
I know y'all doin' this shit for a rollout, but I'm really pressed over here, n***a
'Cause I've been the quiet one, I was lined up, the line-up petitions, n***a come and sign up
This for anybody tryna mention my name, I ain't toleratin', I'ma slide some
I don't care what season it is, some of these n***as die and I'm at all of 'em
Don't care if I ain't got a reason, like Top before signin' me, I'm a find one
(Step one-two, step—)
Step on a n***a, behead me a n***a
'Could say ten others words but chose my name, now shit can get devilish, n***a
Griselda the only n***as that was holdin' shit down when y'all wasn't present, my n***a
I step on a n***a, I step on a n***a, I step on a n***a, I step on a n***a, I—
[Interlude]
I'm glad you did it after you already suffered defeat
You panickin', n***a (Get the fuck outta here)
Drop that shit
You panickin', n***a
(Get the fuck outta here, n***a)
New York, the real New York, I'm outside
I don't live in Miami, I don't live in Colorado
Come to my place, see me, my n***a
[Part III]
[Verse]
Popped out, went straight to the booth
N***a Reas', where you been? What the fuck, I ain't spooked
N***a, satellite dishes, we'll put it on your roof
N***a turn Islam and choose peace, I ain't Loon n***a
I could catch a friendly with the homies, that's just how it is
Y'all come and try it, let it sing like a choir kid
Whole lotta steppers, carry cannons like Mariah did
Calm all that bass in your voice, we the pioneers
Huh, huh, uh, shit, n***as all bad
The best rapper in New York on a podcast
I'll button up this shirt and give out jaw taps
This ain't clout chasin' n***a, what you call that?
This ain't about paper n***a, what you call that?
I bring it right to where a n***a lawn at
Weed whack a n***a, better garden up or fall back
It's Del Amo, let's get started, n***a, I'm with all that, n***a
Turn into a slave owner, whip and pick apart a n***a
Like defibrillators pressin', I bring up the heart, n***as
Dreadin' this shit, long as Dwayne Carter, n***a
I crash on any n***a 'cause I love it more
It ain't just Joey, it's to any n***a comin' for him
You can speak on me and Top, I ain't got nothin' for it
'Cause that's my business with them n***as that ain't none of yours
[Outro]
As God is my witness, my hand on my .40, I'm way too forgivin'
The devil still on me, I'm mentioned, I'm tempted
The block keep on callin', I'm probably gon' spin it, my n***a
Blessings extended, the ghetto still on me, don't talk to me different, my n***a
I'm way too forgivin', my hand on my .40, lately I've been tempted, my n***a
