Gusto
A Lyrics

Yeah A we gone do this up son
We are going to accomplish this together, my friend

Yo we from Hempstead as close to the shacks as Parkside
We come from a humble background in Hempstead, very close to the shacks in Parkside

My whole team is out for the gusto
All of us in my team are striving for success and achieving our goals

Internally blood drip through ya body slow
We have a relentless drive and determination flowing through us

We on the go but yo time is still limited
We are constantly moving forward, but time is always running out

Unlimited type style and we be rippin shit
We have a unique and limitless style, and we excel at what we do

Welcome to the PSG I represent
Welcome to the Parkside crew, I proudly represent them

The littlest in the crew but first one to get up in em
I may be the smallest in the crew, but I'm always the first one to take action

I straight up skin em like wolves
I confront my enemies head-on, just like a wolf

I wish you would have been
I wish you had acted differently or challenged me

Fakin' jack and get ya whole hood hit
If you fake or betray us, we will retaliate and affect your entire community

But it's all good
However, everything is under control

We do the things y'all wish y'all could
We accomplish things that others can only dream of

And play the bat yo and watch the brothas bark like wood
We provoke and incite others, causing them to react strongly

So knock on it
So go ahead and challenge us

Go head you want it
Go ahead, if that's what you desire

Nobody want it
In reality, no one actually wants to face us

You turned in for it pulled nine stingers like a brown hornet
You ask for trouble, and I unleash my full force upon you

While y'all was droppin' I was underground shadow boxin'
While others were becoming popular, I was quietly honing my skills

Layin' low puttin' final touches on the flow
I stayed hidden, perfecting my style and delivery

So here we go, tryin' to snatch that dough
Now, we are ready to seize the opportunity and make money

Got niggas breakin' camp like Dre from Death Row
I have people leaving their current situations in order to join us, just like Dre did when he left Death Row Records

From the streets to the jail, I represent well
Wherever I am, whether on the streets or in jail, I represent myself and my crew effectively

Touch a nigga like brail, jacks are hotter than the third rail
I can physically and emotionally affect someone, causing them pain. I am more dangerous than an electrified railway track

Scale to tip in my favor, the livest save
The odds are always in my favor, and I am the one who comes out on top

Grade up in the U.S. now let?s get this paper
My standing and reputation have improved in the United States, so now let's make some money

I'm yawnin' while I wake up to the early morning gun-fire
I am so accustomed to violence that I am no longer phased by waking up to the sound of gunshots

Another day another scar to acquire
Every day brings new challenges and battles to be faced

Jumped out my bed tried to break my alarm
I woke up suddenly and forcefully, trying to disable my alarm

Took a shower and then I strapped on my firearm
After getting ready, I armed myself with a gun

Grab my Pelle Pelle 'cause I want to look fly when I die
I wear my stylish Pelle Pelle clothing because I want to make a statement even in death

But it ain't my turn to say goodbye
However, it is not yet my time to die

How do I know? Some people call it instincts
I have a strong intuition that tells me when it is not my time to die

I like to call it my luck who gives a fuck
I prefer to think of it as luck, and I don't care what anyone else thinks

I'm stuck, in this environment can't depart from it
I am trapped in this violent and dangerous environment, unable to escape from it

And if I try I always end up back where I started
Whenever I attempt to leave, I find myself right back where I began

Plan A square one there's no escapin'
No matter what plan I come up with, I always end up back at square one with no way to escape

So I pun and realize my too
So, I accept my fate and understand my situation

I'm tryin' to live a full life before my time is through
I am striving to live a fulfilling life before I die

Clock's tickin', so I don't got no time for you
Time is running out, so I have no time to waste on you

As I head outside amongst the rest of the animals
As I go outside and face the harsh reality and brutality of the world

Where I feel relaxed and safe and I can stand it
In this chaotic environment, I find peace and security and I can endure it

It's sort of like a family brawl
It's like a heated fight within a close-knit group

We gather up all the soldiers and form into a invincible
We gather together all our soldiers and become unbeatable

Swarm of kids, now it's on again
A large group of us, ready to take action, and things are about to get intense again

Drinkin' straight from the bottle warm gin drippin' down my chin
Drinking straight from the bottle, feeling the warmth of the gin dripping down my chin

For the crippled children you can't win
For those who are weak and helpless, you cannot defeat us

Against 25 niggas bent up with mac-10's
Against 25 armed individuals with mac-10 guns

Semi-automatic, fully addicted crime addict
Using semi-automatic weapons, fully immersed in a life of crime

So long as there's cash involved I gotta have it
As long as money is involved, I am compelled to obtain it

There's many different levels of the criminal mind
The criminal mind operates on various levels

Either you're in it for the gusto or I'm wastin' your time
Either you are fully committed to this lifestyle or I have no interest in wasting my time with you

Now is you ready for men, 'cause they your peeps that you saw
Are you prepared to face us and defend your friends that you saw?

You probably heard about me and my crew doin' what we do
You have likely heard rumors about me and my crew and our activities

For my nigga True and Smif-n-Wessun
In honour of my friend True and the group Smif-n-Wessun

'Cause I be wreckin' mic-checkin' fools that come around second-guessin'
Because I am skilled at rapping and I easily defeat those who doubt or question me

I sparks in the dark like stars in the sky
I shine brightly and make my presence known, just like stars in the night sky

Spiritually, lyrically, since knee-high
From a young age, I have been connected to my spirituality and expressive through my lyrics

The cradle, I represent my peoples and my label
From the beginning, I have represented my community and my music label

'Cause when you take a ride through Parkside it's fatal
Because if you enter Parkside, it can be a dangerous and life-threatening experience

What's my time to shine my design you can't define
It is my moment to shine, and my unique style cannot be defined by anyone else

It only takes a line and a rhyme to blow that mind
All it takes is one line and rhyme from me to amaze and astound

To have you buggin', niggas got they tapes dubbin
To have you impressed and amazed, others are making copies of my music

Where ain't no line for me to kick a rhyme pushin' and shovin'
There is no limit to where I can deliver my powerful and impactful lyrics

Now it's over, walkin' like a soldier I told ya
Now it is time for us to dominate, walking with confidence like a soldier, just as I warned you

Shorty droppin' bombs and shit, like Oklahoma
I am causing chaos and destruction, similar to the Oklahoma bombing

Kinda soul, comin' wit that bomb for sure
With a unique soul and energy, I bring undeniable power

Run for shelter little brotha when it rain it pour
Take cover, my friend, when things get rough, they get even rougher

First of all the foundation
First and foremost, the starting point of everything

Money is the root of all evil
Money often leads to immoral actions and corrupt behavior

The cream'll have you shittin' on your people
When you become wealthy and successful, you may disregard and disrespect your own community

Livin like lotto, everything is everything
Living life like a game of chance, where anything can happen

Ain't nothing change but the clothes that my money bring
Nothing about me has changed except for the way I dress due to my newfound wealth

I'm makin' figures that I never thought possible
I am earning amounts of money that I never imagined were attainable

You try to slow me down you'll find yourself in the hospital
If you attempt to hinder my progress, you will end up seriously injured

My crew got the army in techses
My crew is armed and ready to take on any opposition

And them Acuras that made you get your cap peeled backwards
We drive Acura cars that make the brim of your hat flip back in fear

For years, I've been tryin' to blow for years
I have been striving for success and recognition for a very long time

Gettin' bent off Moet spend a G on beers
Getting intoxicated on expensive Moet champagne and spending a thousand dollars on beers

Livin' life to the fullest, my story ends wit a bullet
Living life to the maximum, knowing that my story may come to an end through violence

To the chrome-oil drop to the bottom of the pot
To the point of hitting rock bottom

My invincible crew will never stop
My crew, which feels unbeatable, will never give up

If you're lookin, you can find me risin' to the top
If you are searching, you will see me climbing and achieving success

I'm a classic approach my level and get your ass kicked
I am a classic, and if you try to match my level or challenge me, you will be defeated

Floatin' in a river wit yo body rapped in plastic
Your dead body will be found floating in a river, wrapped in plastic

I'm tryin' to make a half a million triple in size
I am trying to turn a half a million into a much larger amount, tripling its size

Before my eyes, another part of my team dies
I witness another member of my crew being lost and taken from me

I can still hear his voice while he up in the sky
I can still hear the voice of my fallen comrade, even though he is no longer with us

While the rest still livin' steady tellin' me lies
While the others around me continue to lie and deceive, I stay true to myself

It's like a bad dream, and I can't wake up
My current situation feels like a never-ending nightmare that I cannot escape from

But at the same time I love it and I can't give it up
However, there is an odd attraction to this lifestyle that prevents me from abandoning it
