Central Bookings
Action Bronson Statik Selektah Lyrics

The way things is looking I'ma see central booking
I might end up in jail and have to go to central booking

Eh yo Queens get the money
Queens, let's make some cash

Ain't trying to see central booking, Oh shit
I really don't want to end up in jail

Dough boy in New York City
I'm a criminal in New York City

New York is still the same
New York hasn't changed

Out there on the Queens Ave
I'm on Queens Avenue

Playing the mirrors like a diva cause I'm paranoid
I'm acting paranoid and checking my surroundings

And plus I'm smoking drugs, you're just a token thug
I'm high on drugs, you're just a fake gangster

Fuck around your words will lay you in a woven rug
If you mess with me, I'll kill you and hide your body in a rug

I'm Middle Eastern, Iron Sheik with the cobra clutch
I'm Middle Eastern and I can beat people up like Iron Sheik with his wrestling move 'cobra clutch'

We see the lights so I force them into chasing me
When we see the police lights, I try to run away

Early morning money like the people in the bakery
I make money early in the morning, just like people who work in bakeries

Fancy drapery, rep the family faithfully
I dress well and represent my family with pride

Criminal minded, do it tastefully
I commit crimes but I do it in a sophisticated way

Shorty catching cases, couple priors open
My girl is in trouble with the law and she already had some previous incidents

Serve fiends same shit Richard Pryor smokin'
I sell drugs to addicts, just like Richard Pryor used to do

My speech be concrete lying, defeat a web
I speak in a convincing way and can easily manipulate people

And even if you were a basket couldn't see the bread
Even if you were obvious, you wouldn't understand the situation

We want the Caesar salad table-side
We want to be served fancy food

The waiter toss it get the flavor right
We want the waiter to mix the salad properly for the perfect taste

The shorty with me got the piercing in the naval
My girl has a belly button piercing

Seven bitches with me and I'm 'bout to give 'em anal
I have seven girls with me and I'm going to have anal sex with them

Yes I love my freedom 'cause I'm able
I cherish my freedom because I'm capable of doing whatever I want

Coming from Queens we get fly on different calibers
We from Queens and we have different levels of fashion and style

Heinous with the stainless, plus we Shameless like the Gallaghers
We are ruthless with our guns and we don't care about being honorable

Black, e-b-I-t so we ain't looking at no calendars
We're Black and living in the moment, not worrying about time

Gliding like Islanders
We move gracefully

Pistols equipped with silencers
Our guns have silencers

Load 'em, point 'em at challengers, be triple beam balancers
We load our guns and aim them at rivals while also balancing our weight distribution

I'm feeling claustrophobic with success surrounding us
I feel trapped by my own success

And fuck a groupie cause we been have bitches hounding us
I have no interest in sleeping with groupies because we already have girls chasing us

Way before this thing called rap came into play
I was already living a certain lifestyle before rap became popular

I change my rugby's and the pussy I fuck like every day
I switch up my clothes and the girls I sleep with often

Sex, money and yay, sip the Henessey for energy
I enjoy sex, money, and drugs and drink Hennessy for energy

We giants, dropping science, if you're smart pick up the chemistry
We're intellectual giants, dropping knowledge. If you're smart, you'll understand it

Repping for New York heavily, getting my money steadily
I represent New York strongly and make money consistently

Meyhem Lauren and Bronsolinyo that's the recipe
Meyhem Lauren and I together make a winning combination

Dun, it's destined we won, my legacy spun
My victory is predetermined, and I'm building a reputation

A lot of people in the right direction, despite aggression
Despite our violent behavior, we're leading others in a positive direction

Divine prevention bag ounces by eye with perfection
I'm an expert in estimating the amount of drugs I have without a scale

They tried to bag me for the blunt, I had the bundle by the grundle
The police tried to arrest me for a small amount of weed, but I had a larger stash hidden in my underwear

I'm running on the humble, acrobatic tumble
I'm staying humble and flexible

Oh shit, the floor exercise a perfect ten
I'm performing so well, it's like I scored a perfect ten in gymnastics

Marisol, we make her swallow drugs then she birthing twins
We make Marisol take drugs and now she's pregnant with twins

Then fly no propeller, street bread my acapella
I'm soaring high without any help, and my voice is my instrument

Vintage raps from out the cellar, Madagascar vanilla
I'm bringing back old school rap, and I'm luxurious like Madagascar vanilla

Where color kicks match your buy work
I wear color-coordinated sneakers with my work clothes

And then we ?
The rest of this line is unclear

From Queens I was just in my teens, holdin' the ratchet
I've been carrying a gun since I was a teenager in Queens

I slice the garlic with the razor, somewhere out in Asia
I cut garlic with a razor blade, possibly in Asia

When it come to paper, family, everything is major
When it comes to making money and family, everything is important

The North American elk behind the oven door
There's a dead elk behind the oven door

We're trying to find a common ground, is it love or war?
We're trying to figure out if we're going to love each other or fight each other

Remain extravagant we known to floss objects inanimate
We're flashy and love to show off our material objects

Shining but never arrogant, from 40 Park to Feroget
We shine and look good, but we're never arrogant. We can be found in different locations, from 40 Park to Feroget

Rocking the finest ? designers ?
We wear clothes from high-end designers

If it's not Ralph than it's some double G shit
We either wear Ralph Lauren or Gucci

Forever glow
We'll always shine and be successful
