[Intro: Noreaga]
[Aiyyo, ahki, man, I want a turkey and cheese, man
Oil and vinegar, hold the tomatoes, B
Extra mayonnaise – ya'll n***as be cheap on the mayonnaise
And I'ma take some chips and this muthafucking Sunkist, I'll pay you later]
[Verse 1: Noreaga]
Yeah – see, I don't see eye to eye with n***as
I kill 'em fast, I ain't gotta say goodbye to n***as
Noreaga – the office is a bodega
Ask Pancho, hit 'em with the hancho
All I really need is baking soda and the blanco
Bullet proof glass, selling loosies on the late night
Got big work, kind to cut it with a snake knife
The homie Paco work on the morning shift
That's my man uncle, put in work for a morning sniff
Yeah – we done switch the whole operation
Alhamdulillah, pray we lost the observation
They know I'm the shit, but I had constipation
Right hand damaged again and I ain't lefty
Put the razor right by his chin, right where his neck be
My New York n***as Wolverine chlorine
Wild n***as from Fort Greene, roll like a ball team
[Hook: Noreaga]
Bodega dreams, bodega nightmares
This my hood, I grew up and had fights here
And you protected, so when you get arrested
They ask you to speak without a lawyer, you neglect it
Bodega dreams, bodega nightmares
This my hood, I grew up and had fights here
And you protected, so when you get arrested
They ask you to speak without a lawyer, you neglect it
[Verse 2: Jadakiss]
(Ahaaaa!) Yo, steal it if you can't afford it
Shoot it out or either sort it
The war still gotta get reported
Coke will get snorted, n***as will get slaughtered
Spots get raided, shut down and boarded
I really owe Papi half of my stash
For letting me set shop up in the back by the trash
This here is the getback, I can just kick back
Cop and go though, move traffic by the chip rack
[Verse 3: Sheek]
(Donnie!) Nas, Foxy, and Mega – 'Street Fighter' on Sega
Corner store, vanilla Dutchy, the bodega
Used to have the hammer that shoot crooked
Fell asleep drunk one night, Moms came home and she took it
Look it – Boar's Head turkey fiends coming thru with bootleg Birk-y's
Tell my lil' workers to chirp me
Donnie – white hoody, white 4 door Porsche, Ku Klux looking
Hear my exhaust in Brooklyn
[Verse 4: Styles P]
Used to move C and D in the bodega
12 gauge pump, nine mill, and the 'O Razor
Weapon by the video game, 'nother one by the cold cuts
N***as get stretched over here for acting so tough
This our hood, consider it a wolf den
Tryna run up in it, fucking with a wolf then
Get a bullet in your tooth then
CNN and L.O.X., hood n***as, salute them
[Hook: Noreaga]
Bodega dreams, bodega nightmares
This my hood, I grew up and had fights here
And you protected, so when you get arrested
They ask you to speak without a lawyer, you neglect it
Bodega dreams, bodega nightmares
This my hood, I grew up and had fights here
And you protected, so when you get arrested
They ask you to speak without a lawyer, you neglect it
[Verse 5: Capone]
Aiyyo, Mose from the candy store used to sell a n***a bullets
And he from Pakistan, hit 'em with a half a gram
He get you anything, no matter the gun size
Throw it in the bag with the chips and the loosies
Papi on the ave got the connect on the bootsies
I stroll down to 40th, me and my n***a Snoopy
Yea what up, papi? Dimelo un minuto – lets poli' thou
Walk me to the basement, I was startled by the rottie bark
Flashed the A on me, must've thought I was from Colli Park
Nah, pa – I need something that fit on my Nike boot
He laughed at me in Spanish and said this'll bite troops
Grab the lil' 2-5 next to the gold rifle
This is etiquette, I'm on my berretta shit, gave him the bread and split
I heard that 2-4 got the re-up
That's the all-night store, the hood Ikea
You can get it all, from the baggies to the leak
Ahk said it's a drought, come and see him in a week
Fuck that, this is my hood, my n***as gotta eat
[Hook: Noreaga]
Bodega dreams, bodega nightmares
This my hood, I grew up and had fights here
And you protected, so when you get arrested
They ask you to speak without a lawyer, you neglect it
Bodega dreams, bodega nightmares
This my hood, I grew up and had fights here
And you protected, so when you get arrested
They ask you to speak without a lawyer, you neglect it
