As time goes by, an eye for an eye

We in this together son your beef is mines

Let me start from the beginning, at the top of the list

Know wha'mean, Hav, situation like this

Another war story from a thirsty young hustler

Won't trust ya, I'd rather bust ya, and leave your corpse

For the cops to discover, while I be dipping in the Range Rover

All jewelled like Liberace

You watch me while Jake's trying to knock me and lock me

But I'll be on the low sipping Asti Spumante

Niggas try to creep on the side of my Jeep

Stuck the heat through the window rocked they ass to sleep

Over a three-pack, it was a small thing really, yeah

But keep letting them small things slide and be a failure

If I'm out of town one of my crew'll take care of ya

The world is ours and your team's inferior

You wanna bust caps I get all up in your area

Kidnap your children make the situation scarier

Life is a gamble, we scramble for money

I might crack a smile but ain't a damn thing funny

I'm caught up in the dirt where your hands get muddy

Plus the outcome turns out to be lovely

Got G's in my pocket hit off my main squeeze

Push back the sunroof, let the cold air breeze

Through the butter soft leather upholstery

But mostly, keep the gat closely 'cause niggas wanna toast me

A-yo I gotta get mines, no matter what the consequences

Count all my blessings, add up my weapons

Cock back the gat and let my nine serve purpose

Sling do my thing organize fiend servants

Trying to make a mil is stress you know the deal

So we sling krills, get your cap peeled, 'cause everything is real

'Cause I wanna chill, laid up in a jacuzzi

Sipping bubbly with my fingers on the Uzi

Try to infiltrate my fort get caught

Dead up in New York, my brain is packed with criminal thoughts

Get your life lost never found again my friend

Mission completed, watch you drop in less than ten

On my road to the riches, hitting snitches off with mad stitches

Your last resting place'll be a ditch kid

No one can stop me, try your style's sloppy

You want to be me, you're just an imitation copy

My theme is all about making the green

Living up in luxury, pushing phat whips and living comfortably

As time goes by, an eye for an eye

We in this together son your beef is mines

So long as the sun shines to light up the sky

We in this together son your beef is mines

A drug dealer's dream

Stash CREAM keys on a triple beam

Five hundred SL green, ninety-five nickle gleam

Condominium, thug dressed like a gentleman

Tailor made ostrich, Chanel for my women friend

Murdering, numbers on your head while I'm burglaring

Shank is serving 'em, what's up to all my niggas swerving in

New York metropolis, the Bridge brings apocalypse

Shoot at the clouds feels like, the holy beast is watching us

Mad man my sanity is going like an hourglass

Gun inside my bad hand I sliced trying to bag grams

I got hoes that used to milk you, niggas who could've killed you

Is down with my ill crew of psychos

Nas Escobar moving on your weak production

Pumping corruption in the Third World we just busting

Hold up and analyze the wildcat's slang cracks

They swing an axe, the new routines, be my eyes black's

Playing corners glancing all up in your cornea

Corner ya, seen cats snatch monies up on ya

But late night, candlelight fiend with a crack pipe

It's only right, feeling higher than an airplane right

Word yo, I want to get this money then blow

Take my time, blast a nine, if you front you go

Sip beers, the German ones, hand my guns to sons

Shaolin, and Queensbridge we robbing niggas for fun

But still, write my will out to my seeds then build

Mahalia sing a tale but the real we still kill

As time goes by, an eye for an eye

We in this together son your beef is mines

So long as the sun shines to light up the sky

We in this together son your beef is mines

As time goes by, an eye for an eye

Uh, laid back, word up

Jus' bless 'em with the bulletproof

Mobb Deep, Nas, Chef creation

For yo nation, yeah
