Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo they tried to box me in the corner for the longest
No key, locked me in this corner for the longest but
Common man they can't fuck with me, Juelz Santana
Uh, some how I managed to creep from under the rock
Linking up with Cam and linking up with the Roc now
Shit I told you, I won't fail you niggas man
Yo this is powerful music I bring to this table
Let the music talk to them
Yo, y'all know I'm fast in focus in case you haven't noticed
Squeeze and blast them open as soon as the magnum open
Yeah I told you man
Uh, Cam gone make me a star, I'm a make him a million
Jones is here I'm invading the building and
Yeah Diplomat
For the last time we got this man
But I'm still on the corner grinding for them big stacks
Big coat, big gat, don't ever forget that
(Verse 2:Jim Jones)
Yes I'm, yes uh, oh yeah nigga
Yo, even my gold link can be number one on your charts
If it happens so be it we come with the art
Everyone in my part, they still moving
All them chums in the front of the
Yo I do this shit sick, stuffed and congested
They don't give a fuck if you're sick you still get cuffed and arrested
My justice is wretched
You get knocked down please grab your crutches keep stepping
Cause the game we done held back too long
The pain we done felt that too long
Cocaine we done dealt that too long
And my pops it don't help that you gone, myself to move on
Its scary and I'm gonna need help
Streets flaunting me, dogs and marijuana don't help
Fiends, junkies in the corner don't help
Knee deep in my grave on these blocks I'm a goner myself but
(Verse 3:Cam'Ron)
Huh, killa, I'm here y'all
Huh, I'm ready, I'm ready, huh, hey
Hey, Yo what up buzzing buzzing, bird flip a dozen dozen
Holla at your boy boy, you thought your cousin wasn't
I'm ready, yes sir here we go
Jim Jones see'est see'est bon Santana magnifique
You niggas know Holla at me if there's any beef
Yes sir, huh
I know in vise versa we like murder we convict in the truck
But yo if you got bitches to fuck hit me up dog
Yeah I'm ready, huh
Far as lyrics go they rocking recitals
It won't stop until I'm on top with the title
Hustling no stopping the cycle, I'm shopping for rifles
I'm not for the idols
Fuck the twin towers dog, we on top of the Eiffel
Like live Pisa Pisa, eating a piece of pizza
You can't be were I be dog, you need a visa
Common chief of reefer
Please believe it, I will squeeze and ya
All bullets they will heat and seek ya
Harlem world I'm a swell my town
You a clown you can tell by now
That I'm, I'm ready, I'm ready we coming for the title

They don't give a fuck if you're sick you still get cuffed and arrested
The police don't care about your health, they'll still arrest you
My justice is wretched
The justice system is unfair and corrupt
You get knocked down please grab your crutches keep stepping
If you get knocked down, get back up and keep going
Cause the game we done held back too long
The industry has been restricting us for too long
The pain we done felt that too long
We've been suffering for too long
Cocaine we done dealt that too long
We've been involved in drugs for too long
And my pops it don't help that you gone, myself to move on
My father's death makes it hard for me to move forward
Its scary and I'm gonna need help
It's a scary situation, and I will need help
Streets flaunting me, dogs and marijuana don't help
The streets are tempting me, but drugs and dogs don't help
Fiends, junkies in the corner don't help
Drug addicts in the corner don't help, either
Knee deep in my grave on these blocks I'm a goner myself but
I feel like I'm already dead in these dangerous streets, but I won't give up
Huh, killa, I'm here y'all
I'm here, and I'm ready
Holla at your boy boy, you thought your cousin wasn't
Don't forget about me, because I'm here and better than ever

Jim Jones and Juelz Santana are great
You niggas know Holla at me if there's any beef
You guys know where to find me if there's any problems
I know in vise versa we like murder we convict in the truck
We're used to life on the streets, including violence and criminal activity
But yo if you got bitches to fuck hit me up dog
But if you want to have sex with women, call me
Yeah I'm ready, huh
I'm always prepared
Far as lyrics go they rocking recitals
As far as lyrics go, we're the best
It won't stop until I'm on top with the title
We won't stop until we're at the top of the industry
Hustling no stopping the cycle, I'm shopping for rifles
We won't stop hustling, and I'm trying to buy guns
I'm not for the idols
I'm not a role model
Fuck the twin towers dog, we on top of the Eiffel
Forget the Twin Towers, we're on top of the Eiffel Tower
Like live Pisa Pisa, eating a piece of pizza
We're living the life in Pisa, eating pizza
You can't be were I be dog, you need a visa
You can't keep up with me unless you have a visa
Common chief of reefer
I'm a frequent smoker
Please believe it, I will squeeze and ya
Believe me, I'm not afraid to shoot
All bullets they will heat and seek ya
All my bullets will find you
Harlem world I'm a swell my town
I'm proud of my hometown, Harlem
You a clown you can tell by now
You're a joke, and it's obvious
