[Juelz Santana]
Come on!
Jim Jones where you at baby?
Juelz Santana (I feel good right now man)
This is music right here
Once again where you at
I feel like Rocky or something
They try to box me in the corner 4 the longest
No keys, lock me in this corner for the longest but
(I'm Ready, I'm Ready, I'm Ready, I'm Ready)
Somehow I managed to creep from under the rock
Linkin' up with Cam and linkin' up with the ROC now
(I'm Ready, I'm Ready, I'm Ready, I'm Ready)
This is powerful music I bring to the table
The sequel to Able the way I slag Kane cause
(I'm Ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready)
y'all know I'm past then focus, incase you haven't noticed
Squeeze and blast them open as soon as the magnum open
(I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready)
Cam gonna make me star, I'm gonna make him a million
Jones is here, we invading the building and
(I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready)
I'm still on the corner grinding for them big stacks
Big coats, big gats don't ever forget that

[Jimmy Jones]
Yes sir, Yes sir
Oh yea nigga

If it happens to be a (??) come with the arts
Everyone of my parts they still moving'
Hold the drums in front of the?

Cause the game we done held back to long
The pain we done felt that to long
Cocaine we done dealt that to long
And my pops it don't help that you gone
Myself to move on
Its scary and I'm gonna need help
Streets flow at me
Dog marijuana don't help
Fiends junkies in the corners don't help
Knee deep in my grave on these blocks
I'm a goner my self

[Cam'Ron]
Killa, I'm here y'all

Hey yo
