[ INTRO ]

The Uptown connec' is very powerful

What we need to do is

Build somethin, so powerful

That nobody can fuck with us

See what I mean?

Okay

Fuck those cockroaches

Hit em one time, yo



[ VERSE 1: Mase ]

Yo, I barely know you

But the way you front, make you wanna blow you

You rappin, but you local, my shit is goin global

Niggas ain't ready, nah, fuck figures that petty

I want bricks so thick, you cut em with machetes

Any nigga met me know I'm bout gettin cheddy

Ain't nothin fancy, settle for 1500 Chevy

I watched my man get banned tryin to plan scams

Done ran grams on a Pan Am to San Fran

We want the money, so it's a must we get paid

I puff in the shade, rock clothes custom-made

Send bricks to poppy, be big as Liberacce

You don't believe me? Nigga, watch me

Unfold your phone and call up all your soldiers at home

Tell em you saw Mase in _Rolling Stone_ holdin a chrome

Now he probably out in a pocanose strokin hoes

Smokin those, celebratin, open the Mo?s

A cool guy, even a cool guy can't get too high

Even his boo'll try to set him for his moolah

The cops take us to where a cell block await us

I watch my capers clock and paper rock on glaciers

Yo L, I ain't got to tell you what to do

[ Big L ] (What up, what up?)

Man, just lace them niggas

[ Big L ] (Aight, you know how we gon' do this)

Word up, dun

[ Big L ]

Harlem NYC style

B-i-g style

MVP style

Baby, check it out
