Gusto
A (ft. Prodigy From Mobb Deep) Lyrics

Yeah A we gone do this up son
Hey, A, we're going to do this together, my friend.

Yo we from Hempstead as close to the shacks as Parkside
We come from Hempstead, a place that is as close to the shacks as Parkside.

My whole team is out for the gusto
Our entire team is determined to achieve success.

Internally blood drip through ya body slow
We have a relentless drive and determination that runs through our veins.

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

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 PSG, where I proudly represent.

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 and defeat my opponents with precision and aggression.

I wish you would have been
I wish you had the courage to face me.

Fakin' jack and get ya whole hood hit
If you pretend and deceive, your entire community will suffer the consequences.

But it's all good
However, everything will be fine.

We do the things y'all wish y'all could
We accomplish things that others dream of achieving.

And play the bat yo and watch the brothas bark like wood
We provoke our opponents and observe their reactive aggression.

So knock on it
Go ahead and provoke us.

Go head you want it
Go ahead and challenge us if you dare.

Nobody want it
Nobody truly wants to face us.

You turned in for it pulled nine stingers like a brown hornet
You underestimated us and now face the consequences.

While y'all was droppin' I was underground shadow boxin'
While others were busy releasing subpar work, I was honing my skills and preparing for greatness.

Layin' low puttin' final touches on the flow
I remained hidden, perfecting my lyrical style.

So here we go, tryin' to snatch that dough
And now, we are ready to seize the opportunity and achieve financial success.

Got niggas breakin' camp like Dre from Death Row
We are causing others to leave their current situations, similar to Dr. Dre's departure from Death Row Records.

From the streets to the jail, I represent well
Whether on the streets or in jail, I proudly represent my crew.

Touch a nigga like brail, jacks are hotter than the third rail
I have the ability to physically and emotionally impact others, my actions more dangerous than an electrified third rail.

Scale to tip in my favor, the livest save
I tilt the scales in my favor, always coming out on top.

Grade up in the U.S. now let?s get this paper
I have risen in status in the United States, and now it's time to focus on making money.

I'm yawnin' while I wake up to the early morning gun-fire
I'm so accustomed to the sound of gunshots that I feel indifferent and uninterested upon waking up to them.

Another day another scar to acquire
Each day brings new challenges and dangers that result in physical or emotional scars.

Jumped out my bed tried to break my alarm
I was so eager to start my day that I forcefully turned off my alarm.

Took a shower and then I strapped on my firearm
After getting clean, I prepared for the day by arming myself.

Grab my Pelle Pelle 'cause I want to look fly when I die
I put on my Pelle Pelle jacket because I want to appear stylish even in my final moments.

But it ain't my turn to say goodbye
However, it's not my time to leave this world.

How do I know? Some people call it instincts
I have a deep intuition that alerts me to potential dangers or opportunities.

I like to call it my luck who gives a fuck
I prefer to attribute my success and survival to luck, and I don't care what others think.

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

And if I try I always end up back where I started
Even if I attempt to leave, I inevitably return to my starting point.

Plan A square one there's no escapin'
No matter what my initial plan or strategy is, I can't avoid starting from the beginning.

So I pun and realize my too
Therefore, I learn to accept my circumstances and adjust my expectations accordingly.

I'm tryin' to live a full life before my time is through
I am striving to experience everything life has to offer before it's too late.

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

As I head outside amongst the rest of the animals
As I step outside and interact with others who are just as fierce and ruthless as I am.

Where I feel relaxed and safe and I can stand it
In this dangerous environment, I paradoxically feel at ease and secure.

It's sort of like a family brawl
The chaos and conflicts within our group resemble a heated family argument.

We gather up all the soldiers and form into a invincible
We bring together all our loyal comrades to create an unstoppable force.

Swarm of kids, now it's on again
A group of determined individuals, ready to take action once more.

Drinkin' straight from the bottle warm gin drippin' down my chin
Drinking directly from the bottle, with warm gin spilling down my chin.

For the crippled children you can't win
We have no sympathy or patience for those who are weak and unable to compete.

Against 25 niggas bent up with mac-10's
We will face any opposition, even a group of 25 heavily armed individuals.

Semi-automatic, fully addicted crime addict
We have an obsession with crime and are constantly engaged in illegal activities.

So long as there's cash involved I gotta have it
As long as money is at stake, I will stop at nothing to obtain it.

There's many different levels of the criminal mind
The criminal mind operates on various levels of complexity and sophistication.

Either you're in it for the gusto or I'm wastin' your time
If you're not willing to go all in for success, then 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, since it's your own people that you betrayed?

You probably heard about me and my crew doin' what we do
You've likely heard rumors about me and my crew engaging in our activities.

For my nigga True and Smif-n-Wessun
In honor of my friend True and the rap group Smif-n-Wessun.

'Cause I be wreckin' mic-checkin' fools that come around second-guessin'
I excel at rapping and effortlessly defeat anyone who doubts my skills.

I sparks in the dark like stars in the sky
My presence and talents shine brightly, even in the darkness.

Spiritually, lyrically, since knee-high
I have possessed a strong spiritual and lyrical connection since a young age.

The cradle, I represent my peoples and my label
From the very beginning, I have proudly represented my community and my record label.

'Cause when you take a ride through Parkside it's fatal
Because when you venture through Parkside, it can be dangerous and deadly.

What's my time to shine my design you can't define
My time to succeed and shine has arrived, and you can't fully comprehend or define my unique talents.

It only takes a line and a rhyme to blow that mind
A single line and cleverly crafted rhyme is enough to impress and astonish others.

To have you buggin', niggas got they tapes dubbin
To make you excited and eager to listen, with people making copies of my tapes.

Where ain't no line for me to kick a rhyme pushin' and shovin'
I am in such demand that there is always a crowd waiting for me to perform and deliver my rhymes.

Now it's over, walkin' like a soldier I told ya
Now that I've finished delivering my rhyme, I confidently walk away like a soldier.

Shorty droppin' bombs and shit, like Oklahoma
I, a young rapper, am delivering powerful rap verses, similar to an explosive event like the Oklahoma City bombing.

Kinda soul, comin' wit that bomb for sure
I possess a certain soulfulness and deliver such powerful verses that it's undeniably remarkable.

Run for shelter little brotha when it rain it pour
Take cover, my younger brother, when troubles arise as they tend to escalate quickly.

First of all the foundation
First and foremost, the foundation is crucial.

Money is the root of all evil
The desire for wealth often leads to immoral actions and corruption.

The cream'll have you shittin' on your people
Financial success can cause individuals to prioritize personal gain over loyalty to their own community.

Livin like lotto, everything is everything
Living a life of unpredictability and uncertainty, where anything can happen.

Ain't nothing change but the clothes that my money bring
Despite my financial success, nothing has truly changed except for my material possessions.

I'm makin' figures that I never thought possible
I am earning an income that surpasses my wildest expectations.

You try to slow me down you'll find yourself in the hospital
Anyone who attempts to impede my progress will suffer severe consequences and end up in the hospital.

My crew got the army in techses
My crew possesses a large and well-equipped group of individuals.

And them Acuras that made you get your cap peeled backwards
We drive Acura vehicles that strike fear in others and make them run away in reverse.

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

Gettin' bent off Moet spend a G on beers
Indulging in expensive champagne and spending a thousand dollars on beer.

Livin' life to the fullest, my story ends wit a bullet
I am living life to the max, but my story is bound to end tragically with a gunshot.

To the chrome-oil drop to the bottom of the pot
Referring to a drug deal involving the exchange of a valuable substance (chrome-oil) for a large sum of money (the bottom of the pot).

My invincible crew will never stop
My unstoppable crew will continue to succeed and thrive without any signs of slowing down.

If you're lookin, you can find me risin' to the top
If you're observing closely, you will see me steadily climbing to the peak of success.

I'm a classic approach my level and get your ass kicked
I am a rap legend, so if you dare to challenge me, you will surely be defeated.

Floatin' in a river wit yo body rapped in plastic
You will end up dead, your body wrapped in plastic and dumped in a river.

I'm tryin' to make a half a million triple in size
I am attempting to turn my initial investment of half a million dollars into a threefold increase in value.

Before my eyes, another part of my team dies
Unfortunately, members of my crew continue to perish before my very eyes.

I can still hear his voice while he up in the sky
Even though he is gone, I can still hear the voice of my fallen comrade as if he is watching over us from the heavens.

While the rest still livin' steady tellin' me lies
While the others are still alive, they continue to deceive and lie to me.

It's like a bad dream, and I can't wake up
The situation feels like a nightmare, and I am unable to escape from it.

But at the same time I love it and I can't give it up
However, I find myself strangely attracted to this lifestyle and cannot abandon it.
