rate me

The Anthem / Wisemen*Opens with a movie dialog(Chorus) Phillie X2Money, guns, drugs, powerNo, sleep, cold, showerRemember, when they bury me, no flowersJust sing the anthem, and-and it goes[Phillie]Never had a problem with letting them things goC'mon who wanna dance? Let's tangoNever see me with the same hoe (flow)Still the same flow, since I stopped being greedyBut I stake mo, you know how long we've been at this rap shit?19 years, it's F over two steps backwardsSo many times we hard fell on our assesOnly to rise to our feet, gotta keep mashingLet no man separate what we createAnd never ran, I can, I'd rather stand homeyI'm a man who can't be measured in gramsMy potentcy openly getting you high over the dopest beatsI went from deadly to dope emceesSince money don't grow on treesI'm a hustler; guess I only know the beatAnd like I said I only fuck with those that's close to meOnly way it's suppose to be, and they're all saying(Chorus) Phillie X2[Phillie]It's always hard to put start in the gameA couple of shots now we don't walk the sameIt's a hard lesson, but death will be in hard head will doEven if they say it was you, I'm headed for your crewFour deep, confront 'em and grab 'em by river and living noiseAbout with pistols, watch how niggas give 'em boysHospital nights, fights in college dormsLeft a guy leaking barely breathing on the floorIf ain't nobody talking to 'em what the hell is he speaking forAnxious to see the morgue, how he gon' defeat us all?Maybe his sons will show respect when they meet a donHappy Valentine from me to yours with a greeting cardThere ain't no profit in the city unless we're involvedI'm still hitting Nia Long, we ever get onWith dick so strong, with clique so rawBe like Slick Rick saying "OH MY GAWD!"(Chorus) Phillie X2(Phillie giving out shout-outs)
