A Tear For The Ghetto

The Group Home A Tear For The Ghetto Lyrics
1.Tear Shit Down

Intro:
Ay baby what's up happenin (nuthin)
I'm tellin you it's about to happen
I just ran into the coldest motherfuckin record c.o.
I'm tellin you my shit is about to be on
I've been here in the studio every motherfuckin night
I'm tellin you i ain't mr. lick (are you for real?)
I'm dead ass (you a stupid motherfucker)

Yeah man, pass that weed, aight!

{lil dap}
My third eye touch the moon about four a.m.
Starring down at the earth, and i'm trying to win
Yo how was the dream? the dream was too good to be true
I listen to you, i even flip mics for your crew
You disrespect, now my niggas eatin you food
So what your talk be like, when your game ain't right
And these niggas live trife, and you try to be nice
So we burn 'em on mics, brooklyn style allright
Then robbin and stealin coming through the ghetto yo
We killin with flow, break em down and let them go
My fears and ideas got them really to death
They think i'm address, i'm only trying to make it? yes
Four of the best, the best i'm a real icon
Bust, son, shit just really begone
Four of my aid, been rockin for atleast a decade
Hold the spades, me and my dogs are about to get paid
Yeah, fuck this
Cuz we can walk through these streets, politic all night
Motherfuckers get torn up in the middle of the night
It's a damn shame, what we have to do for money
Shit ain't funny, boo selling booty all night
I'm giving her advice, trying to guide a child to the light
I'm whippin her pimp, now we takin jewels and we frontin
Hittin up in the club, layin back smoking somethin
Niggas don't wan't it, these east new york niggas would want it
This be the last ill dream that we kick right now
Now peep the sound and watch how we tear shit down

Chorus: lil dap

Uh, we tear shit down
Uh, we tear shit down
Straight like that, we walk through the ghetto of rap
Peep the sound and watch how we tear shit down
Uh, we tear shit down

Now everybody got to peep this shit
This is real like that
Straight like that, off the motherfuckin meat rack
When we start to flip tracks across the map
Dealin with my eyes on the world, mack the girl
Put her in college for now
Cuz one day she'll be the child of my new born child
There stealing my style, walkin with the goatee smile
I hope that this relationship can walk for a while
Damn this dream, got me flippin mad objects
Situations after situations, what's coming next?
I'm ready to flex, so get the weight off my chest
This be the last ill dream that we kick right now
Now peep the sound and watch how we tear shit down

Chorus 2x

{outro}
Now i know alot of you ain't with this right now
Straight brainsick, group home, triple beam
You know what i'm sayin? agallah
Straight b-k style, knowthatimsayin, kai-bee
You know, blackadon

Uh uh uh
This be the last ill dream that we kick right now
Now peep the sound and watch how we tear your town


2.Da Real Gh

Intro:lil dap
Straight like that
Brooklyn niggas
Bronx nigga
The 5 borough niggas
Group home, son, group home

{lil dap}
I remember when respect was strong like a gun
If you said you were the one brothers would take you out, son
Yo these were the days, snap back and spin the gaige
The numbers agree, it's '99, it's time to get paid
They comin to our aid, now they wanna rock on stage
You didn't listen chief, when we starvin on the streets
But don't you know, brooklyn thirty below in the cold
Politicing with my niggas, plottin how to get dough
So cormel, don't forget, i guess it's time to set it
These things go real, livin in the ghetto you see
They took care of me, gave me my credit cards for free
Why you cats be lying sittin back and cloning mc's
You studio corporate gangstas got the game fucked up
Now we'll redreat, pussy wanna speak the real nuts
I sing for important people who can understand me
I educate myself to visions and sights on the streets
And through my mind, i'm able to fight off anything
The story has been told, now it's time to pull of the stroll
Let's see what they know, about this group home flow
I make myself available for these young in the city youth
Slingin the truth, i rap around the train and shoot

Chorus 4x: lil dap
You know it's the real group home

{melachi the nutcracker}
Aiyo, i gotta deal, this stuff is real for the massive bill
That's why people kill, this town is gettin ill, i have to take
a chill
I gotta get away, don't have no time to play, at least not today
I'm out for the paper, trying to pull a caper
Do you know what i mean? i'm kickin new flavor
Because times has changed, and people act strange
New paths to gain, to see the whole frame
Gang starr, you know we got it soul
So get with the flow, from the group home

Chorus 4x

{melachi the nutcracker}
Just remain calm, as i drop the bomb
Word is bond, i'm a living phenomenon, affectivly
I express my concern, assist to the young
So they do not turn, in the wrong direction, affective
protection
School and achievement is the selection
Encourage your kids to keep up the good work
Assist your child to not be a jerk
Solvin the problems in a relationship
Avoid the bad and negative conflict
Cuz valuable conflicts are worth the while
Impress with results, competative style
Therapy, is definetly the way
Avoid the snakes of the kkk
Avoid the jails, it only fails
Prevent the bad and the tricky trails
They crawl like snails, and yell for help
But don't be fool, just whach' ya melt

{lil dap}
In 1989 is when we openned up shows
With gang starr and eric b and rakim you know
Chillin in the club, with real thug showin us love
I was amazed, imagine how they used to get paid
Real recognize real, plus you knew your deal
Conceal the shit on track and watch me want to turn your world
back
Coming with true facts and ready for the mortal combat
Damn it's a shame, but why it got to be like that
Flippin my lisp and shootin my verbal like a mack
Lil dap, i've been away but now that i'm back
2001, my cats will be bombin on ya son
Like stains on ya brains, hopin you remember this one

Chorus to fade


3.Stupid Muthafuckas(30 Minutes To War)

Yes my name is clarice
My husband i think he is fuckin the avon lady
That comes through every day
Could you tell me how can i not be a stupid bitch?
{fuck the mail man, you stupid muthafucka}

Where my bitches at?

Chorus: lil dap (repeat 3x)

These stupid muthafuckas wanna fuck with me, fuck with me
And get that ass torn up see
Cuz my success, rings from the top of hip hop
One day, will rule the game, in the game of hip hop

{lil dap}
You 3 times around the world, were we plannin the mark
Settin the art, niggas gettin torn apart
Cuz my cd flow through your blood stream yo
Cuz niggas is shook to see a little nigga come back
Blowin holes in your tracks, watching freaks react
Let's take it back, in the group home talkin with mack
These hoes with tracks, can't fuck around with lil dap
Yo 30 minutes to war, and we ready to get it on
These bati boy, jet like niggas beefin for rap
Grab my nina from the back, smack that shit outta her black
Ready to attack, group home is strong like that
Watch your back, cuz you made it on like that

Chorus 3x

{melachi the nutcracker}
Aiyo i break date, concentrate on how to make
One million straight, by the y2k
Eight mob, puttin suckas on their jobs
People got robber trying to flash jewels at bars
Roster farayan yellin 'go select a'
I'm the nutcracker, and you know i teach ya
Comin from the burks, of street regulator
Rhymes out the ash, i dig in my stash
Punks through the dash, cuz you get slashed fast
12 o'clock mass, kneel down and pray
Like my man ray, i got the right one ba-bay
So say what you say, or say it in my face
I'm like an open case, with no clues to trace
Face your defeat, i would like you to meet
This punk ass clown who walk down the street

Chorus 2x

{lil dap}
Yo niggas really don't wanna fuck with me
Stains like jeans, to tear that ass out the front key
My history of rap, got me comin back with the gat
I sing on tracks, my ghetto audience they react
When i rap, these 89 niggas they bring it back
Like dippin in the club, you and your team you rub a dub
Press prenub, watch these niggas run the fuck out
Without a doubt, i hope these niggas ate there pea sprouts
Comin from brooklyn, yo we explore to get it on
Comin from different boroughs and we flauntin the shit
If these niggas try to act up, we be packin shit
Diggin the drop, the dread set watchin this
Walk the streets, serious, but understand this
My halomic swing got them kinda lost in the source
These are the days, the 90's and we got to get paid
On my niggas, we shine like diamonds on a ring

Chorus 4.5x

Straight like that, straight like that
Uh, straight like that


4.Street Life

Intro:sample from movie (lil dap)

Are you ready on the right?
Ready on the left?
(um)
Are you ready on the right?
(check it out)
(we gonna b.i.g. this shit real quick)
Ready on the left?
(turn my headset down some, knawhatimean?
I wanna ride this beat)

Chorus: lil dap (repeat 2x)

Cuz this street life we live and were born to live clever
She taught us how to survive and never say never
The outcome of the street life is based on reality
Keep your heads up, watch all the street tricknology

{lil dap}
We walk down the block, gunshots follow the block
Mom dukes is amazed, i think this shit is ?sarabe?
Check it out, we livin this low budget biamite life time
Watch us break it down and start to kill these rhymes
Rippin pockets was a sport, just to gain respect
Lil nigga, lil shorty watch shorty with the tech
Smash your weight across the land, to kill a wicked man
No one can hold us down, no one can even stop me
Wait take to l.a. ready to see papi
Walkin thru the doors and was scared to death
Trickin fingers on the right and kk tried to flex
Seein weight, cream and dreams, niggas they start to scheme
Most like, after this should we break shit down?
Let these brothers know around town that we do get down
East new york style, how we do it one time
Bustin shots in the air, cuz the world was mine
Straight like that, comin from the ghetto of raps
Holdin it down, and all of my niggas bleedin in the town
Walkin the ground, b.i.g. sounds are all around

Chorus


5.Sun For A Reason

Intro:lil dap

Straight like that, i feel you like that
I hope you feel us like that (i feel you)
Tear for the ghetto y'all, group home 2000
I feel you baby, i'mm let you know
Have me comin out my motherfuckin character

{lil dap}
About 1972, when the lady took birth
I searched the earth, just to see what it was worth
My buddha was strong, so you know i won't get cursed
I'm doing my thing, shining like martin luther king
An angel with wings, know all about those diamond rings
I'm livin proof, kickin the knowledge to the youth
I'm talkin to you, i used to be just like you
I pity the fool, it haven't about 12 past noon
The time was 1989 to exact
Let's take it back, now they shoot you up with prosack
Shit get real, livin in the battle field
With lifestyles and situations where people get killed
Cat's get plunked, what's the deal?
Streets are real, ghg and you can't see me
Successfully, comin from the ghetto you see?
Poppin with the flow, just to let the faggot niggas know
Now i'm gonna go, live from the ghett-io

Chorus 4x: lil dap

Real like a motherfucker reign supreme
Open your eyes, check out my brand new team

{lil dap}
See lil dap represent brooklyn, new york
So kill all the talk, now watch all these niggas get off
We comin with force, puttin mad pressure on rap
Cuz these are the facts, knowin when battle niggas get slapped
My arms or my two's, motherfuckers think shit is cool
Cuz these are the rules, keep it tight with your crew
So when you chillin with your enemy out in the field,
Nine times out of ten you have to pack some steel
What the deal? a leader not a follower
Check my undertoe in the dome and suck that ass up yo
See i can win before i even tough mics you see?
Warrios went first and go to war, watch the score
Fans yelling out for more

Chorus 4x

{black e-starr}
Yo, you damn right i'm real as ever, and black like a butter
leather
I'm cockin back, movin through your hovah my team
The love is there, if you act up i'll back and then squeeze
Nuff shots ring out, so fuck speakin your clout
I'm steppin out of proper, just to show you what i'm about
A real sheisty muthafucker reppin ghg
Like dru down, i'm gangster pimpin tell ya heard to see me
So i can put her on the streets, and she can clock my grip
And about twenties and honies, wrapped up in the mix
And if the trick come up short i'mma bust her shit

{kai-bee}
Yo me and my niggas, click like nines and techs
So put us together, what you got? a bunch of threats
I'm running with vests, so let me make this clear
Kai-bee and brainsick yeah we up in here
Livin our life, but son you only get to live once
Some wise guy told me how i got to stop smokin blunts
But i told i can't, cuz la-la get me amped
Thug like the champ, i ain't got no time to lamp
2000 is hear, look around the atmosphere
Me and my team were sent here to reign supreme

Chorus 4x

Outro: lil dap

East new york
Straight like that, real like that
Group home


6.The Legacy

Intro:melachi the nutcracker

Yo this is the nutcracker, youknawhati'mmsayin?
I got my mine lil dap, and my man guru from gang starr
With my man dj premier on the track
So sit back, and hold your head
And witness the legacy of street knowledge
Knawhatimean?

{guru}
Once again, it's the gang from the group home
Watch out we two grown
Little niggas, bustin out on your ass, in the new zone
Using new chrome, to settle thief and cop a new home
Realest history, time to seal this victory
Mastermind, one of a kind, that's why your chick stick to me
And sick to me, the way my voice melts the track
Giving mc's fifty lashes, puttin welts in your backs
Why you talkin all that, i'mma dap in the hoopdy
Plottin on your weirdos, cuz most of y'all are male groupies
Throw you some panties, for you femenine side
Im flippin on you, fuck my gentleman side
I'm gettin bent and then ride, straight to where you rest
Vigilante shots, thunder going straight to you vest
So much anger, but you thought you knew me best
We livin legacy, and yo i'm thankful to be blessed (*echo*)

Chorus: melachi the nutcracker, guru (repeat 1.5x)

Superior, all soldiers are obedient
With wars unsure, and the fools shall face punishment
We wanna infatrate the premicise, y'all prejudice
We livin legacy, real niggas will remember us

<<'hold it down'>> - inspectah deck

{lil dap}
Uh, see love is stronger then pride
Now niggas, open your eyes and swap with you
All these niggas think that they fly
The sounds from the streets, make my brain and unique
And lil dap will knock ya dead ass of your feet
My legend speaks for itself, from the very ambitious
Niggas be dissing, trying to my ass out of prison
Feel what i feel, in the street you know shit is real
You know the deal, and natural fact you gotta pack steel
But back in the days, you couldn't even act like that
You can get slapped, reactin on somebodies lyrics like
My legacy is long, like an acura live john, just begone
Vibin thru the ghetto with bombs
Niggas watch out, you heard the horns from brook-lan
But sacrifice my arm just for the game of hip hop
To what's your beef? a leader not a follower
Check me out, the legacy baby, no doubt, no doubt, no doubt

Chorus 2x

{guru}
I'm sorry, is all you have to say
Cuz your bitch ass can't come back around the way
This form of hip hop, drip drops constantly
From my mind to the wax, spiritual canetic energy
Can't turn me off and on with a leaver
I'm too clever, my crew sever, never
Rumors said that o.g. was was up, nah i live for ever
Born royal blood, the legacy we trensetters

{lil dap}
Yo, you know me, me and my east new york representatives
Battle with scars, you figured niggas who we are
Remember back in the days when the club used to rock
Be the shit that strong rhymin, have you shook and amazed
Cuz these were the days, you couldn't even lay you with chains
Now watch these lanes, try to pick with my brain
So check my undertoke, watch you suck that ass up, yo
Me and the nutcracker, and we on the go

Chorus 1.5x

<> - inspectah deck
(scratched couple of times)


7.Run For Your Life

Intro:{sample from movie}

Most persons never have a chance to get into a recording studio
Never get to see or hear a record being made
And only experience the finished product
Until now, you had no way of learning
Of the anormous complexity of the recording process
And this limits appreciation of music
We can't hope to explain all the complexity
But we hope to give you some insight
For the musical forces at work
And have a good time in the process

Chorus 2x: lil dap

Run for you life, if your life you live
Live behind the gun, and this is what you get
Two slugs to the head, and you're dead and gone
Listen to the word, that's how word is bond

{agallah}
Word is on the corner of gas & the plate
The don who got laced up by mistake
Time flies yo we chillin at his wake
Sittin up, suing down and shit feel type fake
Nice '88 black is held down with the white face
The way shit was going, couldn't wrote out his will
Hear them be sneaking upon niggas, cuz he love to kill
Met war, slouching cars, to send you bon voyage
One fourth of tears pullin out from the eyes of your mom
The rise of your life is on, negative or positive
You trying to live right or wrong, something just got to give
Even if you got a bm, it's the walk of dead, everytime you seen
him
Prisoners walk, always try to go for freedom
Year two thou, back space, niggas delete them
Praying god, everytime we eatin

Chorus 2x

{lil dap}
My dreams to walk the streets open hearted with my peeps
Sweet game upon knowledge, sometime we feel like scholars
More power to devour all these fake mc's
Uncle tom brought the playa hating jellin on me
So we jellin to our music, cuz that's all we know
Break it down to the ghetto, with that ill ass flow
Walkin days or nights, business sights and fights
Bodies and souls are gettin picken all night
Indeed yo, in the streets this is what you see
Try to speak the forth, but no one understands me
Moms please listen to me, turning dust into black
Running straight for my life, and there's no turning back

Chorus 2x

{blackadon}
Yo were i'm from eny, where there at? brooklyn
Got heads turning, from cali to fort ten
I've been in the mix since before '86, and while you sucking
dick
I'm strickly gettin biz
You know who it is, when you from brooklyn
Every fuckin borough scared of them crook kids
And don't wonder why, just please come thru
With your 10 karat ice, and see what we do
It ain't nuthin new, just the same old thing
Will snatch your chain, invect your brain
That was my frame of mind, when i think way back
The only thing to say was, my name was k slack
To overgate my sins, so i can be born again
Still livin the brooklyn rasta farayan
You listen to my words, and you will be born
A life filled, a child worn

Chorus 2x


8.Make It In Life

Chorus 2x:lil dap & agallah

As the weed burn kid, i'mma make it in life
Am i qualified for a crib, a kid and a wife?
Do i have to stay worried getting shot stabbed with a knife?
Gettin caught gambling dice, to hustling ice
Going to jail once, going to jail twice
A nigga sold, 25 to triple life yo

{lil dap}
We took time in the ghetto building with o.g.'s
To askin me, do we know the code of the streets
Walkin the beat, in the hood were it's all good
A tear for the ghetto, they don't wanna be in hood
It's like a tear in disguise, decides to get wise
And through my eyes, i can see through these fake ass guys
I turn a thug into a rapper, a rapper into a thug
Throw that ass into the street, show him no more love
I guess these cats have brought reality from the one of above
Too deep in the game, can't concentrate
Droppin bombs in the ghetto, like the game of kuwait
Meditatin with my niggas, cuz we just can't wait
36 months left till the year 2g
I've granated with my niggas across the land and see
Because we channel thru our music and thats all we know
Comin thru the ghetto with that ill ass flow
Got to reach the top, got to reach our goal
Separating real brothers from these weak ass souls
What? channel thru our music and thats all we know
Comin thru the ghetto with that ill type flow
Got to reach the top, got to reach our goal
Separating real brothers from these weak ass souls

Chorus

As the weed burns kid i'mma make in in life
As the weed burns kid i'mma make in in life

Interlude:
Why are we doing this?
Because the families have no love

{agallah}
At the city, crime found dead eight o'clock sharp
Nigga get murdered, right by the string of a harp
Cannot get saved from the heart, and i'mma bring this art
Like an exhibit in greenwich village nigga, agallah mozart
Rock shots to block and drive the benz slow start
Lyrics keep going when pose polebar
I'm just a soldier, man, i'mma go far
Some of you never made it, cuz you refuse to know god
Comin at me with crowbars, when i'm comin out of 4 cars
Fillin so many maggots in me, corleone tron
Puerto rico my homeland of the man sipping the motar
My whole clique, g.i. joe, y'all are cobra
Stay fake niggas, is always caught john blaze
Contemplate, moves of agallah 8, make a mistake
Yo i come to your wake, with 5 niggas with bandanas
Yo, your clip insert banana arm

Chorus 2x

{melachi the nutcracker}
Just to make it in life, i used be livin trife
To be precise, run up on you with a gun or a knife
And that's word, to my fam 183rd
Yo a-mob, and fuck what you heard
The battle cat is back, but i'm no longer 16
I'm down with dap and we don't shine we gleem
The group home team is tight like old slacks
Of the meat rack, slappin weak rappers back
You get caught up in my track, and see that this is no act
I wan't more than a smore stack, move against me and floor flat
Is the black man qualified to make it in life?
Or will he die trying, to earn some stripes
I gotta eat, so you will meet your defeat
To make my mission complete

Chorus 2x

As the weed burns kid i'mma make it in life
As the weed burns kid i'mma make it in life


9.A Train X-press

Uhm, ah
Check it out
Uh
Yeah, uh, check it out
Um

{lil dap}
East new york express, brothers don't try to flex
Only real brothers on these trains, and we know what's best
Deep meditation, when we start to ride over rhymes
High port pole, we junction and my chain, it shines
My confusion on the streets, and we maintain the peace
Lockin shit down, like masons with coke on the street
Passing down my sound, my hype lyrics from the over ground
To dope, they comin close and brothers tried to approach
So i hid my stash, when i hit nostra ave
Pickin up oils and answer to create a new path
Possibilities of law corrupt cops are messing up
Lockin up the wrong brothers, when they should be let out
Next stop, downtown, deez cats had it locked down
Sittin vertically and horizontally all around
So we maintain our focus and hold the fort down
Cuz we from east new york, and we do get around
Going uptown and see my man nutcracker yo
Brainsick, are you ready to rock this show
Big poppa politics got my people locked down
So we jungle thru our music, sharing love thru the town

Chorus: lil dap

Some people understand, some people don't
Some people realize, some people won't
Keep it real to my people in the streets you see
Understand the street knowledge was your only key
Some sisters understand, some sisters don't
Some sisters realize, some sisters won't
Keep it real to my sisters in the streets you see
Understand the street knowledge was your only key

{melachi the nutcracker}
Recreation of life, is a natural beauty
Enhance technicians to do their duty
Evaluations, of all situations
Excellent specialists, with information
Opportunity treatment, for the community
Re borough businesses, arrange by families
Additional support, and sternly thought
Do not get caught, yo for negative things
Destructive problems or what it brings
Independency involves emotional distress
Without focus, yo it's a big mess
Dependency, i have a room for a neighbor
Infasize individuals with different behaviors
Mentally fit, so you can stay legit
Of the structure values, on this unit
Sick ethic, social economic backgrounds
Exhibit extreme, all though protected in this town
Education is the main priority
Because there is too poverty in this society
Uptown, downtown we gotta pay rent
Prevent the bad, relay are sin
Don't get bent, because you smokin off the sess
We from new york on the a train x-press, x-press

Chorus: lil dap

Some sisters understand, some sisters don't
Some sisters realize, some sisters won't
Keep it real to my sisters in the streets you see
Understand the street knowledge was your only key
Some brothers understand, some brothers don't
Some brothers keep it real, some brothers won't
Keep it real to my brothers in the streets you see
Understand the street knowledge was your only key
Some people understand, some people don't
Some people realize, some people won't
Keep it real to my people in the streets you see
Understand the street knowledge was your only key, key

Uh, check it out
East new york style
Check it out, check it out


10.Be Like That

Intro:agallah

Yeah nigga
I got the gat on them now
Pay back (laughing)

Chorus: lil dap & agallah

Why, it got to be like that
Straight like that, real like that
Where my brooklyn niggas at?
Why, it got to be like that
Straight like that, real like that
Where my queens niggas at?
Why, it got to be like that
Straight like that, real like that
Where my harlem niggas at?
Why, it got to be like that
Straight like that, real like that
Where my bronx niggas at?

{lil dap}
Why it gotta be like that?
Niggas, don't act because he flip tracks
And broads don't know how to act
Chillin the east, with the group home appeal
Rippin with steel, and you know my niggas are real
Like straight like that, will burn a hole right through your map
These brooklyn cats, i hope we eatin your food black
We keep it real, with the niggas keep it real with me
That understand that street knowledge was there only key
See before rappin, niggas couldn't fuck with me
It's like these fake brothers stoled brooklyn streets
On these streets i give you square, now shit is the same
Because together we stay, and the desert storm is on
Expect the unexpected, when the juice has been injected
The many styles we have, have been well protected
Move within a makin, observe the fakin to mistake it
My soul is ackin, too much pain i've been takin
Inside my heart, i've been torned apart
But we play it smart, and get money in the streets smarts
Of the streets, cuz my brothers keep it rowdy
The way they front, and try to act like they bout it

Chorus

{melachi the nutcracker}
Aiyo, i'm comin up, i'm runnin up like a soldier
I thought i told you, punks, i controlled ya
I'm strong like a boulder, ready to fold ya
I treat you like a new born puppy and scold ya
I'm older, i'm power full like a dodge
Now you know what i'm talkin about me and my squad
I pull your card, i'm underground like the mob
Punk get on your job, here come the superstars
The nutcracker, quick to snappin your back
I was born in the ghetto so it be like that
I was born in the ghetto so it be like that
I was born in the ghetto so it be like that

Chorus

{blackadon}
I sing a song, to break your arm
The black is pimpin brook-lan, who am i the don
The pro with precon, frustated like saddam
I've been behind the seeds, but now i'm here to chop the bomb
Look me in my grill, my eyes cold as steel
I came to kill, i speak upon you like a pill
For that from brownsville, rusty bitches on my deal
Shisty nigga breast filled if i start to fill
You weakness is a mil, put your body on chill
I ain't got a deal, going out for the mil
Cuz skills get more friends then women in the hills
The more dough you get, then the more head like bill
For real

Chorus

{guru}
You won't be able to understand the power of allah
That means god's plan, the hour's facing our man
The sour feelings, the ways and actions of this man
Suckas was the crew with the span
That's like muhammed & jesus splittin up without a plan
That's like martin & malcolm praying for a separate outcome
That's why you can't e-mail me, fuck the fiend dot com
Supreme alphabet, seekin creaming out the get
Mad riches to team, by my next mic check
Plus you this artist sacred like aztec

Chorus

Start to make our own tracks, for these cats to recite
Recite, we'll put your juggalo veins right out your throat
Take these cats on from brooklyn
I'm holdin it down with my throat
Heard me walk about it, islamic and knowledge
Shinin bright like a diamond
Sittin in bk, rhymin
Holdin it down, waitin for the sun to set down
Look in the sky, see my man b.i.g. floatin around
One day the shine so bright
Livin life so light
Lost my man tonight

{someone else raps, but the songs fades}


13.Keep Rising

Intro:
Let's work for the family
Let's keep the family strong
By keepin the tie of love strong in the family
All those of you who are rich, use your riches to elevate the
poor
All those who think you are wise, use your wisdom
And teach the unlearned
So all of us walk together like brothers
And i say this, there is no family without a hair in their
family

{lil dap}
Yo it took 41 shots, to take one man down
I'm black and i'm proud, fighting for this struggle right now
27 years i didn't think i'd walk this earth
My grandmother sat and told me how she hustled for life
Pop dukes had to leave, to fight the feedin me
Mom dukes took her early leave, to explore her life
Now we eat dogs, runnin through these streets all night
Something ain't right, now what part of the game is this?
If it took killas and niggas stronger to make an end
Searchin for bread, my whole situation has changed
Rollin at a young age, but i got to focus my brain
Straight like that, the codes are on the streets to come back
Come burnin my mack, it's time to kill them softly black
Cuz we real brooklyn niggas comin through these streets
Connect it with 5 boroughs and the shit gets deep
Open your eyes, hoping that these people get by
Real recognize real, now you got to pack steele
I got my deal, 0 for 1 record deal
And these stupid ass niggas said we couldn't come back
Hears to your facts, i hate set it on you you black
We hate to set it on your black

'so let's get the family together'

{lil dap}
First to first, niggas don't want me to disperse
Why young minorities they have to ride in a herse
Undertane to 5 vehicle, or up in the lobby
Little kids got shot, cops can't even show their own glocks
I've performed in many countries, with people going to war
Settling the score, representing brooklyn once more
I write rhymes to design or a new frame of mind
They got us locked us in situations, we might have to kill
I'm trying to bill, niggas keep on fronting still

'all those of you who are rich, use your riches to elevate the
poor'
'all those who think you are wise'

Chorus: lil dap
Cuz we real brooklyn niggas coming from these streets
Connected with 5 boroughs and this shit gets deep
We real queens niggas coming from these streets
Connected with 5 boroughs and this shit gets deep
We real bronx niggas coming from these streets
Connected with 5 boroughs and this shit gets deep
We real shaolin niggas coming from these streets
Connected with 5 boroughs and this shit gets deep
We real harlem niggas coming from these streets
Connected with 5 boroughs and this shit gets deep

{lil dap}
Bk, harlem niggas
Footprints, walkin the streets, i hope it is a good path
Lookin for my dad, tell him how we survived in the hood
It was all good, cuz 99 percent of your life,
Positioning things are right, niggas they start to act trife
See i set my family and even kept my things real
Had my own dough, even pushed the forward deal
Cuz writing rhymes is much better then sittin and
Writing jail letters
That sings all those ones certain locked behind the walls
Brooklyn's my print, a black baby mistoken from birth
Where's your old earth? black cause burn on the dirt
Cuz this industry makes billions of dollars every year
Blood, sweat & tears, while my people sittin in the cut
Hungry as fuck, i'm sitting back drinkin on my tea
They can't stop me, ghetto connect the soldier you see

Chorus

That's right, this goes out to all of chicago
L.a., new york, livin the hard life
Streets of indianoplis
Brooklyn


14.We Can Do This

Yeah we can do this
We could walk thru this
25 is the work

Chorus 2x:group home

Check it out y'all, ain't no limit to life
Ya live your life to the fullest, make all your moves right
If marrows and obstacles that might take your life
So take it from the brother, that will stay in ya, right?

{lil dap}
Yo i had dreams of rockin with my man b.i.g.
Talk about brooklyn thugs the way they used to be
What kinda kicks are that? why they snatchin off ya hat?
No respect, no gats, situations like this black
Explanation for the judge, all about the gat
Dismiss with body language, go bring my coat and my hat
Meet me outback, we layin all the true ass facts
Cuz this is real in me, it may not be real to you
But this is how we sing it when we rock with our crew
My arm frame of mind, got me droppin bombs right now
My presense is hear, a tear for the ghetto for ya ear
Can't walk in fear, lyrically i'm meant to stay here
So keep ya eyes open, when we start to rock to the top
Hopefully god will hear us and open up our hearts
Droppin the jewel, walkin through the ghetto's like fool
Now watch my tools, elevate your whole damn crew

Chorus 2x

{lil dap}
It all started way back, when i was trying to get put on
Then right from the start, everything was on
It's like kick in the door, waive my things like big
Watch and peep the kid before you squeek ya wig
Low profile, keepin my real niggas around
Cuz my defense, against all my enemies shuts
Cuz 59 minutes and counting and still climbing the mountain
Nobody cares, walkin in the streets with no fear
Holding things down, and knowin it could happen right here
Cuz my ears are wide open, my family is holding me back
Already these niggas packing offa my man black
With singing the song, peepin the knowledge what's going on?
Long is long, about it by what goes on
These brothers are fake, that's why they get punched in the face
You think about it, they not even from bk
Trying to front, get that ass smoked like a blunt
Cuz life is real, livin out here in the field
Yo straight like that, we burning ghetto's off the map
No turning back, we heard the cats was leaking black
The 7th day, we open our eyes to obay

Chorus 4x

Uh, we can do this
'99, tear for the ghetto baby
Yeah, we can do this
Yeah, we can do this


15.12 O'clock

Fake niggas on the ground, fakin moves in bk
Yo they coming far beyond, coming to brook-lan
Never think it could happen when shit lives on
You should of called me when you got over the brooklyn bridge
These evil ass tryfe kids only got one life to live
Niggas never should of fucked around with lil dap
Coming straight from the streets where the rhymes react
Group home, reign supreme coming through with my team
For ya faggot ass niggas shining infa red beams
Bk to the fullest, to the day that we die
Open my eyes, a seventh day a new surprise
Wondering why, niggas in the hood, they die
Mothers they cry, niggas busting shots in the sky
Smoking my la, i only want a piece of the pie...

Yo son, whatup whatup son? i'm downstairs
Buzz the door man, all these niggas man, these niggas

Niggas rolling dice, smoking,
We probably ain't cuttin their eyes at my ice
And shorty on my arm,
Even though i've been with screw back 'remain calm'
Hope the gat ain't line me up and buzz the intercom
Look to my left, i've seen this cat throw his hoodie on
Yo what's the verdict?
For my herc, i fuck around and get murdered
Came to brooklyn, nigga i'd rob on some heard shit
Just got through smoking weed then i'm nervous
Shorty said she was from red hook, but i don't know where i'm at
Surrounded by a bunch of thirsty crooks, givin me thirsty looks
If it go down son, i'll chill and disrespect the jerks
Or give it all up, it ain't right giving my life took
I've slipped up and these niggas caught the right jooks
Damn

Just chill, shut the fuck up, take that shit up, pop that shit
Shut up bitch take that shit off the bitch off too
Take them rings off her ear, everything off
Word to pa, shut the fuck up before i hit you
Word up, take that coat off that bitch too, where your keys at?
Get the fuck out up the bone before i shoot you nigga
Get the fuck up out of here nigga, what the fuck is wrong
What what? (smack)

Bk bk till the day that we day
Open my eyes, the seventh day a new suprise (2x)

Uh, first your a victim to society yes
Punch a nigga in his face everytime he flex
East new york legend boys reign supreme
If they said he didn't gimme, wouldn't know what it means
Where my people at? coming from the east and the west
Where my people at? coming from the north and the south
Here to represent my people who ain't got it, no doubt
Yo we come from brooklyn where shit is rough
Niggas are bustin' and duckin', got niggas forced to get tough
Can't see my nigga dying and burnt to dust
When the world's about the end, about to turn to rust
Be corcerned three learn, but will niggas get burnt
Never think it could happen but the strong will learn

Chorus (3x)

Uh, uh, uh

Live for my cats
All the kings men, know what i'm saying, rose family

Group home style, aight, jeru tha damaja, brainsick mob
Aight, for the real cats in the streets, that's living the
struggle
For the seeds, baby, uhm


16.Oh Sweet America

{melachi the nutcracker}
Aiyo, new york tracks, keep me phat like that
I exercise with fitness, to support my back
It's going on black, and i'm out to get mines
Bust in the place with a new york rhyme
Yo some people are mindless, and don't know what the time is
Mess around with the wrong one, and get expired
I'm gettin fired, offa the smoke and the blunts
Killin big bids offa a gangsta hunt
Don't front, what do you want? i push a trick with a stunt
We got out of town hits, and like george likes pits
Cuz i flex with a polo around my wrist
Nothing changed...

{lil dap}
Uh, my bad decision in the game got me flippin on cats
Now that i'm back, puttin brooklyn down on the map
Cuz you know this camera's on me, and my sons right now
Pimpin our sounds, watch how we tear shit down
I cause blow a catastrophe, i master thee
The game of rap, so don't fuck with dap, i dance with my track
You bust you neen, i bust my nena back
Rhymes sharp like thumbtacks, with enough contacts
To blow my enemies off the map, if they try to attack...

Chorus 2x: lil dap

Oh sweet america, how could it be?
Can't see my people dying in the streets no more
Got to hustle from the bottom just to feed the poor
Understanding what's right, realizing what's wrong
*(second time, the last line gets left out)*

{melachi the nutcracker}
Yo i salute the mic, when i take flight
Plus my styles real hype, and i'm feeling allright
So go with the flow, let's see what all of you know
I flip like g.i. joe, with mad potential
I'm about to get mine, you know it's about that time
My people losing their mind, off the group home rhyme
Murdering crime, people on the streets playing for keeps
Brand new jeeps, riding thru on the creep
Who care? i guess that everyone is scarred
Better be preparred, cuz the worst is near
The group home is here, open your ears and stand clear
Crack your bears, we've been doing this for years

Chorus 2x

{lil dap}
How could it be? cuz if you bust for me, i have to bust for you
These old school rules, got me spittin lyrics at you
I'm thinking hard and serious and going back to the time
When cats were scarred to death to even say that they rhyme
Cuz it was off the meters, niggas had to throw their dick
beaters
Block parties with heaters, no crooked to feed us
It's 7 days in a week, 12 months in a year
But between the nonsense we'll drop a jewel this year
Keep your eyes open, stoppin off the ends when we rock
Poppin your clutch, and starving mc's to rock
And walk with fear, keepin my momentum in gears
Excess is near, my niggas can smell it in your ear
2000 and beyond, group home are bombing ya, son
My crew number one, no competion

Chorus 3x


17.Breaker 1-9

Chorus 2x:lil dap
Breaker 1-9, breaker 1-9 mayday
Me and my niggas starvin and we thirsty for the payday
We can get together, do whatever you want
Thugged out, brook-lan style, east new york

{lil dap}
About 40 years from now, the meteor hits the earth
Countin my birth, puttin in work
Um, before we start to disolve, the dirt and disappear from here
Countin my fears, hopin theres a heaven upstairs
The moon's so bright, let's count a million stars tonight
Something ain't right, we got to leave the port to the light
I'm claimin my mic, in case we have to rip it tonight
Cuz some people some understand, some people don't
It's a damn when they try to steal your flow
Don't you know, group home represents the ghetto
Brooklyn's own, have these niggas waivin there chrome
We'll splash your dome and leave your ass all alone

Chorus 2x

{kai-bee}
Something ain't right, let's follow the light, but keep it tight
And show these cats how we keep it raw but right
Follow my lead, proceed burnin my weed, smokin my la
Walkin through the streets of c.i., wondering why
Good people gotta die, got the future in my eye
I'm just chillin to get by
Thinkin about life, focusing on the mil
Cuz life is illin much more then a ice grill
Here goes the realness, listen, lay your position
Constantly heads spittin lyrically ammunition
Keepin your brains spinnin like rims on an expedition
Follow me on this mission, and swallow my exposition
Ladies and gentlemen, here's something new for your ears
Open your dutches and crack your beers
Rap music is something i live for
Only for that we go to war, war, war

Chorus 3x

Outro
Call for backup, we need help
They eatin alot of food out here,
They eatin alot of food out here
Call for backup, we need help
Help, help!


18.Beefin For Rap

{melachi the nutcracker}
Yo my rhymes are deep, when i walk thru the streets
If you wanna eat, you gotta work for this meat
The stress is building, people are losing their children
I can feel the pain, just from the blood spilling
I ain't sittin around chillin waitin for that
I'd rather make moves with my man lil dap
Too many people killin made me lose my mind
Crime don't pay, it's just a waste of time
You should shine like a sun, or the holy one
Blessed with a gift to get the job done
Nutcracker's the one, and new york is where i'm from
Group home for the year 2 g, let's get it on son

Chorus: lil dap (repeat 3x)

Straight like that, why these niggas beefin for rap
Matter of fact, puttin brooklyn down on the map
No turnin back, rollin with my a-mob cats

{steph lova}
Yo, this is for my dogs, can't forget my divas
Nonbelievers, under achievers, pockets stuffed like pitas
Cuz the love is off the meter, on any givin
Weep the compition shiftin cliffin like what!?!
Spittin up blood from the slugs caught in the club
Just because the fucker been thought and ducked
What you get for thinkin, have all you cats rinkin
The crew that have sink and shot the engine out your lincoln
Just for livin, you know i talk alot of shit, but that's a given
Gats stay hidden, cause all this is forbidden
From my side of the chalk, you sell crack till your rap shit
kick off
Or a beef kick off, heard 3 shots lick off
Spark the riot up north

Chorus 2x
Yo straight like that, yo straight like that

{lil dap}
Yo my little nigga is my nigga till the day that we die
Clean out my inside before i rest my eyes
This is for my niggas livin out there in the streets
Searching for peeps, hopin someone hears us upstairs
Blockin out my fears, time to get fame this year
So what's your hobby son? comin from brooklyn, new york
Like 10 years in the game, with the group home name
When cats were scared, to step or even walk in the train

Chorus 3x


19.Game Recognize Game

Intro:lil dap

We shoot a rhyme in the ghetto, so you know what's up

With chronology, fallin with my enemies
So play your part, and peep my lyrical art
Comin straight from the heart, bringin light to the dark

Livin on group home, trying to stop my shine
Takin my cream, don't even seen those dreams
Enemy minds, i hope you peep this slang in my rhymes

Chorus (4x): lil dap
Uh, recognize game, recognize game
Some cats will sabotage and try to steal your name

{kai-bee}

And nothing but regulators

So what's the realness, i feel this listen to the fullest
Flyin god street, reckin hennessey
Bust a bullet's at my enemy
Crashin your spots like that cat that shot jf kennedy
Right in the nod, we comin through y'all

{fades}


20.Life Ain't Shit

Intro:lil dap
Uh, this one here
Is for the pimps, the hustlers and the cool niggas
Hahahahahahah, straight like that

{lil dap}
East new york, brooklyn, my destination of birth
Momdukes gave us power to walk the streets of the universe
We comin from brooklyn, fully damn armed
These situations of life a' make a nigga drop off
Power after power, and day to day
Warrior for my niggas in the streets all day
Haunted daily to our life i said 'the crime don't pay'
They say 'the rich get rich, the poor get poor'
Cuz we can walk down the block, politic all night
Start to make our own tracks, for these cats to recite
Recite, we'll pull your juggalo vein right out your throat
Make these cats want to propate
I'm holdin it down with my throat
Heard me walk about it, islamic and knowledge
Shinin bright like a diamond, sittin in bk, rhymin
Holdin it down, waitin for the sun to set now
Look in the sky, see my man b.i.g. floatin around
One day the shine so bright, livin life so right,
Lost my man tonight - settin it off, aight?
Check it like this, it got to go with the flow
Some niggas may not understand, but you know how it go

Chorus 2x: lil dap

Because life ain't shit, gotta work for yours
Gotta hustle from the bottom just to feed the poor
Niggas think shit is funny, gotta work for yours
Because the rich get rich, the poor get poor
Jump up and grab ya nina, cuz you got to get yours

{lil dap}
B.i. 2000 roman numerals are stamped in our skin
Now let us begin, and break it down, it's how we get in
We don't know about kites, all we know about life
Situations all about it, how we break it down right

Chorus

Life ain't shit, gotta work for yours

{agallah}
Don't ever come to bk no more
Little shorties i got around me, yo they spray some more
They make you pay from the door
Sneakin on niggas coming outside the stores
Runnin around sellin coke outta they drawers
Morning, i ain't got time for talkin back
I assurted the clip in the motherfuckin mack, ready to attack
A lot of these cats, speakin on they do such and such
And while to fuck to around, get smoked like a dutch
Yo, my rifle gon search and sniper mc's
All the way from blake avenue all the way to mercia
Blazin verses up, chain robbery people cold shake
Ya breath is up, kidnap your style, take a person up
Never fake me for certain, pullin the curtain
Runnin outside like my stomach hurtin
Comin in ya 9 to 5, make ya stop merchin
When i start squirtin, bk is a fucked up place
Kick ya down the staircase and cold piss in ya face

Chorus 2x

{melachi the nutcracker}
Aiyo my life ain't shit, plus my job ain't shit
My car ain't shit, and you know bitches ain't shit
If you wanna get my dough, you gotta work for it
You gotta grab ya gun and bust for it
Aiyo the group home is stick and we swermin like alligators
Risin to the top, like project elevators
Life is like a war, we gotta feed the poor
The rich will get rich, but ghetto love mean more
Family foundation, till you gotta love yours
That's the only way to build a strong structure
Cuz when it rains it pours, we opening the doors
A roof over ya head is like sun galore

Chorus 2x
