[Intro]
The big AK Skills yeah, that's how we doin' this
I rock Queens
From raw Queens once again
Yeah, you know what I'm sayin'

[Chorus]
This goes out to all my true thugs survivin' through stress
24/7 get money from the East to the West
Watch the contracts and all the fake snakes smiles
And focus on your music so your money piles
This goes out to all my true thugs survivin' through stress
24/7 get money from the East to the West
Watch the contracts and all the fake snakes smiles
And focus on your music so your money piles

[Verse 1]
Now when I go drive streets I think about props and mills
On blocks the kills, perpetrators that fuck with AK Skills (Word up)
'Cause on the East coast times was hectic
But I got love for brothas on the West that's respected (Yeah)
This goes out nationwide, we can't forget the honies (Huh)
It's not a East West thing, it's all about makin' this money
'Cause it's the currency that means I'll rock the beats
So I can have longevity in this polluted industry
That's why brothas they gotta know the real
Or that the headaches don't stop once you got a deal (No doubt)
You gotta watch it when you roll through towns
Holes to bring you down
That's just the pressure that comes 'cause you're exposed now
I do my thing, watch the AK Skills progress
Some coast to coast flavor from the East to the West
[Chorus]
This goes out to all my true thugs survivin' through stress
24/7 get money from the East to the West
Watch the contracts and all the fake snakes smiles
And focus on your music so your money piles
This goes out to all my true thugs survivin' through stress
24/7 get money from the East to the West
Watch the contracts and all the fake snakes smiles
And focus on your music so your money piles

[Verse 2]
And do the AK Skills [?], no question
And I got a sufficient team so I can see cream in this profession
It's all about politickin' so I can see [?]
Ain't nothin' changes that I'm dealin' with fiends in business suits
That's why I pick like a reader before I sign (Word up)
My life on the line and proceed to drop ill rhymes
'Cause things happen in this game, chumps get hurt
Them label experts, I had you put in work to get jerk
Tryna get slick on n***as with wack contracts and figures
So overall their pockets can just get bigger
I know the routine, they messin' with my future big cream
Will only lead to problems and gats back with 16
I need to do my thing without the stress
The AK Skills point of view from the East to the West
[Chorus]
This goes out to all my crew true survivin' through stress
24/7 get money from the East to the West
Watch the contracts and all the fake snakes smiles
And focus on your music so your money piles
This goes out to all my true thugs survivin' through stress
24/7 get money from the East to the West
Watch the contracts and all the fake snakes smiles
And focus on your music so your money piles

[Verse 3]
Some shady labels promote us, they had you goin' through hell
Cause for the rule of all evil 'cause don't forget, controversy sells
Don't get me wrong if the hype is right, promote it
And stay devoted
Get good percentages to the arts who wrote it (no doubt)
'Cause I've been payin' dues, slayin' crews
And pull tools to bust rapidly on fake thugs and fools
My lipids attract the knuckle and who looks and honies (Word)
And I'm steady schoolin' these dummies (Uh, uh)
On different ways to get this money
So recognize when you hear mines
'Cause I drop rhymes that go coast to coast
It's like Delta Airlines
To all my peeps across the country
24/7 rappers talk game but on mics they won't confront me
They know not to test, hearin' my name get 'em stressed
It's all about cheddar from the East to the West
[Chorus]
This goes out to all my true thugs survivin' through stress
24/7 get money from the East to the West
Watch the contracts and all the fake snakes smiles
And focus on your music so your money piles
This goes out to all my true thugs survivin' through stress
24/7 get money from the East to the West
Watch the contracts and all the fake snakes smiles
And focus on your music so your money piles

[Outro]
Yeah, you know what I'm sayin', the big AK Skills
That's just the way we doin' this
To all my peeps across the country
Mad Face
You know what I'm sayin', it's like that yo
My little C [?]
That's just the way we doin' this
Jiggy [?], big a-yo
My executives makin' these deals
Tru Criminal, Gru and Skill
That's just the way we doin' this, you know what I'm sayin'
Word up, I'm tryna get famous son
Peace to James' son, everyday son
That's just the way we doin' this, the big AK Skills
Once again uh, some coast to coast flavor
All my peeps across the country that's deceased
That's just the way we doin' this, you know what I'm sayin'
Word up, AK Skills

[?], 5-14
And we out gettin' cream, check it out
One time
