[Jadakiss]
Yo, you can't fake it 
Life's only what you make it 
Front, be a snake, mess around, get your weight it 
Ex-school boy who want to go and try to take shit 
Found his body, in the projects, naked 
I ain't gonna lie, If I wasn't doing this now 
I'd probably'd be tied down, in a small town 
With my eyes on a couple of guys 
With their eyes on a couple of pies 
Cause I will survive 
Brains, is the key to the game 
If you ain't got none, what good is a shotgun? 
If you ain't got guns, then you better cop some 
'Cause the New World Order's around the block, dun 
Streets be where Lox get their props from 
Check us on the Internet, L-O-X dot com (lox.com) 
A worldwide message, I try to express it 
The best I could, for ya'll to cherish, till I perish 

[Chorus: Kelly Price]
I want to thank you, heavenly Father 
For shining your light on me 
It's been a long time 
Since I had someone to love me 
I owe my thanks to thee 

[Styles]
They never expressed, that life's a part of death 
They never go there, but you can blow here 
The 25 to life and greens from below 
Where, outta nowhere, you in the bus, hands is cuffed 
Can't call your Mom, dog, you know times is rough 
You was out yesterday, stressing a better way 
Funny thing, they always seem to lock down Kings 
And the thugs on the street just love to say, "It's all foul." 
Watch the honeys check your style 
Worthless, when they worship, what you purchase 
They only see ice, not me, under the surface 
What's the purpose? I just, go my way 
Know my way, 'till bullets blow my way 
Which they might, 'cause any night can change your life 
Keep your state of mind tight and remain alright 
It's plain to fight, but different to shoot 
And might do it 
If you ain't 10 different ways to get loot. 

[Chorus]

[Sheek]
Hey, yo, we handle rap like we do the street 
Holding heat 
It's them same crooked niggas 
Watching dough, ain't nothing sweet, word 
Buying beats is like copping grams 
Niggas got too many scams 
To give you garbage, slide the butters to their mans 
That's aiight, though 
'Cause even ready rock gets sold on our block 
Watch us turn nothing into nitro 
And we don't mingle 
'Cause none of us don't really know you 
From the heart, we never talk to strangers 
So why start? 
Anyway, we're rapping for this luxury shit 
I watch wild niggas blow 
See how plush shit can get 
But we ain't trying to kiss ass to blow up fast 
We gonna take our time and rely strictly on the rhyme 
If I, wasn't that cat, Sheek Lucian, that rap 
Would you still be my man 
And pass your bottle to my hand 
Would I be in the rain 
While you pass me in the Land 
Oh, you think by now that I don't already know your plan 
To get next to me and possibly sex me 
Then slip Ecstasy inside a nigga's Pepsi 
Money'll never amount to respect, be	 
And you don't want to test me 
'Cause God blessed me. 

[Chorus]

And I know 
I know that it could not happen without you 
I know it could not happen without you
