There's a rumor that an old lady heard a 
Kingpin hiring a hitman to murder 
A federal prosecuting drug-dealing witness 
But that's how it is in the business 
And i'm in it, physically gaining power 
Constantly counting up cash by the hour 
And it feels good to be paid 
Regardless of how many victims get slayed 
Accomplices of mine drop like flies 
But in this everyday a homeboy dies 
Whether shot in the body or cyanide in ya bacardi 
'cause it's a cutthroat party 
Now it's up to me to retaliate 
And if i score, i'll increase the murder rate 
I move on ones who double-cross 
Set them up, now they suffer the loss 
Of he or she who's ever on the agenda 
Most likely a family member 
Informants, rattle-tattle-telling snakes 
Get shot up, brutalized and thrown in lakes 
The parts of a body is found days later 
The other half was done by an amputator 
I'm undefeated in plenty fights 
My enemies are beaten with many stripes 
I'll shoot up funerals, firebomb wakes 
Vehicular homicides, whatever it takes 
Just to keep control of my empire 
I'll set ya own mother on fire 
'cause when it comes down just to me and my money 
Ain't a fucking thing funny 
All those who pose a threat i'll stick them 
Ya friends, ya family and innocent victims 
Get caught in the midst when i'm busting of nines 
But they was in the wrong place, the wrong time 
Decapitated bodies found in lots 
While i'm still cooking up kilos in pots 
The kilos becomes bricks and the bricks becomes rocks 
Then retailed on the blocks 
I drive around in expensive cars 
And get women who fuck like porno stars 
I get them high, you know, like powder they nose 
Then put 'em in the streets as my high-class hoes 
I'm wild, living foul and i'm ruthless 
I leave muthafuckers toothless 
I had a worker who stepped on the scene lively 
Then started selling my customers ivory 
Soap, counterfeit vials of cracks 
I stuck 'em to death with a thousand thumbtacks 
You've seen my resume, that's just the half 
I'm a bad muthafucker, just like shaft 
A character played by who? richard roundtree 
The only difference, my guns are sound-free 
Silencers ring off then wisp by 
Then all you hear is a last minute cry 
Of those who triedto control my territory 
Not the west side but the bed-stuy story 
Police be giving me eye-to-eye contact 
But i smile 'cause i'm putting out contracts 
Now a g-note is placed upon ya head 
You say picture that alright, bang ya dead 
This is the life of a drug dealer
