Chorus: sampled singer (Inpsectah Deck)]

One of these days and you wont be long (It wont be long now)

One of these days and you wont be long (You bound to come up)

One of these days and you wont be long (Keep your eyes on us)

One of these days and you wont be long (Yeah, yeah, yeah, Deck)



[Inspectah Deck]

I'm from the home where the buffalo roam

And niggas don't give a flyin' fuck

Talk with signs up, walk with the iron tucked

Leave your "Eyes Wide Shut"

Money bag's on the table, gots to get my cut

Rebel I "City Slicker", pick up a pretty sister

Dig her out on the table, bent off the Remy licker

Head splitter, deliver so cold I send shivers

From many figures, battle the world or any nigga

I'm "Uptown Saturday Night" like Bill Cos'

Got weed in the jars with vanilla cigars

On the strip, eyeballin' the chicks, all in the mix

Gassed off of my shit, vibratin' the whip



[Chorus: sampled singer (Raekwon)]

One of these days and you wont be long (That's what you call it pa)

One of these days and you wont be long (Chef!)



[Raekwon]

Yo I'm sicker than the V12 X5

With cracks in the Rolly jumper all we do is Drink fuckin' Drive

Real niggas raise up, Mommy get your feet off +The Table+

The cable luck bare, my man got me one on his leckle

It's nothin' for me to get up with you, guts with you

Blow off them matches and sit up with you

Aiyo the streets, what is gettin' more crazy?

Stressin' me nothin', investin' the leathers, we all into things blazin'

Slingin' coke is just a normal habit, rappers we wear

Straddlers with cannons and hatchets gettin' cheers

Yatzis are fresh off the block, block squeezin', it's real

If we get real, put pop, poppin' at your blocks equal

Take these niggas and throw 'em in lakes, it's business

Rake these niggas on the mic, display your ninjas

Nines crowns verses your nine towns

Run up with nine 9's, brown down, get to lyin' you down



[Chorus: sampled singer {U-God} (Raekwon)]

One of these days and you wont be long {Yo} (That's what you call it pa)

One of these days and you wont be long {Yo, yo}



[U-God]

I come from the slums, I ain't no dummy

My testiment talk, represent money

This +Verbal Intercourse+, fueled by exhaust

The bread winner, head spinner, coldest with the force

No remorse, endorse the rap artist

So flamboyant cos I pimp slap the hardest

Ever since the +Triumph+ we've been missin' them soldiers

We came tonight, boy the mission is cobra, full exploder

Bulldose through the rubbish, I'm in too deep boy

I just gotta love this, they call we Too Sweet

One of the nine brothers, I'm so unique

Every line that smother, the situation's grim

It's bloody sin cos every time I want out they pull me back in

I see my reflection in the chrome mack 10

Ask the passer who's faster with the pen

Then pull it, nine hollows, amorettos

That's how I like it, sweat on my wine bottles

The automobiles with them shiny assed hubs

The endo pull, with the bathtub club, my angel's in the mud

Veteran smile, +Dat's Gangsta+ shit, that American style

Dig it, prick or prey

I'm quick to slay with the rectifier shit, caught by the ricochet nigga



"I got to know"



[Chorus x4: sampled singer (Raekwon)]

One of these days and you wont be long (That's what you call it pa)

One of these days and you wont be long



"I got to know"
