Lemon
Conway Method Man Lyrics

Look, play my position, in the kitchen, I'm workin'
I work hard in the kitchen making drugs

Whip it, baggin' half in fifties, hit the strip and I serve it
I package and sell drugs on the street

If it's an issue, trust, I'm comin' to get with you in person
If there is a problem, I will confront you face-to-face

With the extendo, throwin' at you 'til I flip the suburban
I am so ruthless that I won't stop firing my weapon until I've destroyed a car

All my businesses flourish, I'm on my way to my yacht
I am very successful in all of my illegal businesses and am making a lot of money

I put a six on the dock like Julius Erving
I am so wealthy that I have a sports car parked on my yacht

Damn, I know my nigga's sisters is hurtin', he caught a new case
I feel bad for my friend's family because he has been arrested again

But got his sentences concurrent, that ain't get him discouraged
He received concurrent sentences for his crimes, but it didn't discourage him

Got another homie in prison for murder
Another one of my friends is in prison for murder

He would let his gun clap and fire at anyone that would try it
He was very trigger happy and would shoot anyone who crossed him

Watchin' his baby mothers cry, I got numb, I can't lie
Seeing his girlfriend cry made me emotionally numb

His mama ain't shed a tear, she know that come with this life
His mother is not crying because she realizes that this type of life comes with risks

Thought about it, his kids was young when son got the time
His children were very young when he was sent to prison

Won't see his daughter graduate, can't teach his son how to drive
He won't be able to be there for his child's graduation, nor teach his son how to drive

Now you see where I get this ambition from and this drive
I am motivated to succeed due to the hardships that my friends and family have faced

The Machine, I'm iller than anyone that's alive
I am the best rapper alive

Look, bought the Benz truck and the Maybach with no lights
I bought two very expensive luxury vehicles without any regard for the law

And straight from dealership, not from the auction with the low prices
I bought both vehicles brand new from the dealership

A long way from sellin' white and runnin' from the po-lices
I have come a long way from selling drugs and evading the police

You niggas know who flow nicest, raise the bar like coke prices
My rap style is the best and I am making music that is pushing the envelope

Fronted the homie, caught a joint, he stopped answerin'
I gave my friend drugs to sell, but he got arrested and now won't answer my calls

Been my nigga since grammar school, I don't know how to handle it
I have known him for so long and don't know how to deal with his arrest

Flee said, "You leave them knots in your chest, they gon' turn to cancer then"
My friend cautioned me that if I continue to worry about my problems, it will make me sick

In other words, he sayin' don't let it slide, you gotta handle it
He meant that I should deal with my problems directly

Let that lemon squeeze, lemon squeeze
Let the gunfire ring out

Don't tell my niggas stay safe, tell 'em to stay dangerous
Instead of telling people to avoid danger, tell them to be aggressive and confrontational

Auntie hit that stem, almost fainted
My aunt used drugs and almost passed out

Fiends love me in every ghetto, nigga, I'm famous (I'm famous)
Drug addicts know me very well and respect me

Have some young boys pull up, do you heinous (boom, boom, boom)
I have young men with guns who will do anything for me

Capone-N-Noreaga watchin' CNN
I'm watching the news to stay informed on current events

Black whip, black tint, y'all ain't seein' in
My car has dark windows so that no one can see inside

It's Con and Meth, spread the word, boy, you seein' 'em
People need to know that I am connected with Method Man

No seein' 'em, these rappers in the scope, you'll never see an M
Other rappers are not nearly as formidable as I am

Killa Bees back in the building with Machine and 'em
The Wu-Tang Clan is still making music

We creamin' 'em with pockets of dirty money, I'm clean again
We're making a lot of money illegally, but I'm not worried about it because it can't be traced back to me

Ain't gotta tell you I'm dope, just stick the needle in
My rhymes are so good that there's no need to explain it, just listen to them for yourself

The Ghost's Off-White big enough to fit this Eagle in
My expensive coat is big enough to conceal a weapon

Tis' the season then, why ask why? I has my reasons, and
I'm doing what I need to do for my own reasons

My birds don't need no seasonin', Meth ODin' this evening
I'm a successful drug dealer and Meth is doing drugs tonight

Now ask yourself, is that really air that you breathin' in?
Everything around you might be toxic

I think outside the box, then I find a box I can keep 'em in
I am highly creative and will come up with a way to get what I want

Or just leave it then, like the bouncer, won't let your people in
I can decide to exclude people from my inner circle if I want to

People said they want that old Meth, well, this the prequel then
Fans want to hear my older style of music, so this song is a throwback to that era

I get medieval, some people won't make the prequel then
I can be ruthless and some people can't handle it

Leave 'em in the fetal position, F it, I'm leavin' 'em
I can leave my enemies defeated and humiliated

I use the system, you cowards use euphemisms
I know how to manipulate the legal system to my advantage

Women call me Super Daddy, my powers is supervision, who
Women like me because I'm powerful and in control

Gave you permission to speak? To learn, you listen
You need to learn to be quiet and listen to others

Learn to listen to a different MC, you'll learn the difference
If you listen to other rappers, you'll see how much better I am

In addition, if you miss an MC, sign this petition
If you like my music, sign a petition to make sure you never miss a show

Get a fraction of that faction, subtracted by my division, uh
I will take a portion of your profits and ensure that it is subtracted from your total earnings

I'm a boss, so that means I make decisions
I am the one with the power and I get to make the choices

Slash villain, I will kill an MC to make a livin', yeah
If my competition gets in my way, I won't hesitate to destroy them
