Band Intro
Muddy Waters & B.B.King Lyrics

Come on, come on
Let's go, let's go

Come on give me that double give me that double, Give it to me
Give me that energy, that motivation, I need it

You never knew what it took to get here
You don't understand the struggles and sacrifices I've made to reach this point

They say life don't stop for no one
Time keeps moving forward, regardless of individual circumstances

So I'm going back in my people
I'm reconnecting with my roots, my community

This what ya'll wanted right? You said you wanted the truth
You asked for honesty, so here it is

So I solemnly swear, that the truth be told I'm thuggin to the day I die
I promise to always be true to myself and my upbringing, embracing my street mentality

It's Dipset, it's more than just music now
Dipset represents a lifestyle and a movement, extending beyond the boundaries of music

It's a way of life, it's more than the 200 hundred years of blood sweat and tears
It's a culture built on hard work, struggle, and perseverance

Ho stand me? For all my ballers, my day crawlers... It's bigger than Nino Brown
Do you understand? It's about the people working hard every day, it's a movement that surpasses any movie character like Nino Brown

Take a walk, lets slide
Let's go on a journey together

Take a journey wit ya' boy and lets ride
Come with me and experience life through my perspective

You don't even need a seat belt homie
You don't need any protection or barriers, just trust me

Cause where I'm bout to take you
Because the destination I have in mind

You don't need nothin' homie
You don't need anything with you

And I don't need nothin' on me
And I don't need anything on me

But a bottle purple juice and my weed smoke homie
Just some purple juice and weed smoke is all I need

I just need you in the zone, take ya' oastar off and make yaself at home
I just need you to relax and feel comfortable, be yourself

It must of been a obsession, Had to make it large (Dreams)
It had to be an intense desire, I had to make it big

Started my progression, I'd stay stayed with the huds (Down South)
I began my journey of growth, sticking with the people from my neighborhood (down south)

Now it's private jets, smokin' haze what the stars (G4)
Now I'm flying in private jets, smoking high-quality marijuana like the rich and famous

Quarter mill write the check is how we for the car (What's The Price?)
We pay a quarter of a million dollars to buy the car

Switchin' lanes up 7th, Are we racin' the cars (Harlem)
We're speeding and changing lanes on 7th Avenue, almost racing the other cars

But the boys still stressin', I'm facin' the charge (Yay-Ya Be Trippin')
The police are still trying to catch me, I'm dealing with legal troubles

Still prayin' to God, Cause lifes not promised, not even manana (Fuck tomorrow)
I still have faith in God because life is uncertain, not even tomorrow is guaranteed

Remember movin' bricks, paranoid bout ehanas
Remember when we were involved in drug trafficking, constantly worried about informants

Or even at the club, an them boys and then behind us
Even at the club, there were people watching and plotting against us

I'm chasin' death, gettin' closer to 30 (Gettin Older)
I'm living a dangerous lifestyle, getting closer to the age where mortality becomes a bigger concern

Sunny outside, but the work is dirty
It may seem all good on the surface, but the illegal activities we're involved in are morally wrong

Days out, Harlem nights, over in Jersey
We have nights of partying and fun in Harlem, but also end up in New Jersey

In my rare view goin' home cause the vultures is thirsty (I See Em)
In my rearview mirror, I'm going back home because there are people trying to take advantage of me

Pull that doubt you won't catch me in traffic
Get rid of any doubts you have, I won't be easily caught by the authorities

Dark tints on the V, when I lack it's the ratchet, bastidd
I have dark tinted windows on my vehicle, and when I'm lacking something, I resort to my weapon

Now I'm the leader of the pack, Can't help to think back
Now I'm the one in charge, I can't help but reminisce

How I was eager to sell crack, I thought it was the shit (Damn)
I used to be enthusiastic about selling drugs, thinking it was the best thing ever

When they talk about my influence, I thought of uncle Ricky (Uncle Ricky Wha's Good)
When people discuss how I've impacted others, I think of my Uncle Ricky

He used to call up on his flip, he start snortin' on his shit
He would call me on his flip phone and start using drugs

The same life had me gas'd, when I bought my first vic
The same lifestyle got me excited when I bought my first luxury car

I was heavy on the gas, when I bought my first whip
I was driving recklessly when I got my first car

I thought I was the shit, you couldn't tell me nothing
I had a huge ego and felt invincible, no one could criticize or advise me

I was 16, I told the teacha 'You can feel me fuck em' (Feel Me Nigga)
I was rebellious at 16, telling my teacher that they can't control me

Just any suits, pullin' up to club in Beamer coups
Wearing expensive suits, pulling up to the club in BMW coupes

Gettin' cash (Gettin' Cash)
Making money

We livin' fast (Fast)
We're living life at a fast pace

Different women every night, couple of bitches clashed (Fuck You Bitches)
Being with different women every night, causing conflicts between them

I just laughed (Ha ha ha ha ha ha, Now Listen)
I found it amusing

I almost got wiped out on the wave, Thought 11 was tsunami
I nearly got killed in a dangerous situation, thinking it was a catastrophic event

For the prices of the yay (Fuck The City Up)
For the high prices of cocaine

The hustlas, they know the saga of the story (I Know The Story)
The hustlers understand the struggles and experiences described in this song

We live sucka free and show problems to authority
We live without being influenced by others and we don't let authority figures affect us

One... Two, Feds comin' for you
The police are coming to catch you

Three... Four, Betta' watch the law
Be careful and watch out for the law

Five... Six, If you start pumpin' bricks
If you start selling drugs

Seven... Eight, hope it ain't heavy weight
Hope it's not a large quantity of drugs

Ferrari dreams, feds spooked me in my nightmare
Dreaming of owning a Ferrari, but the police scare me in my dreams

I tried to scream like Freddy Kruegers' in my nightmare (Livin' For The Fame)
I tried to scream for help, just like Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies

So a nigga scared to go to sleep
So I'm afraid to go to sleep

Until the day break, I'm tearin' up the street
I'm tirelessly working and causing chaos until the day breaks

Porsche'n with the clutch, ballin' like the play off's
Driving a Porsche with skill, living a luxurious lifestyle like a professional athlete during the playoffs

Top goin' 40 on the floor, with the safe off
Driving with the convertible top down at 40 mph, not caring about safety precautions

12 car convoyed a road full of race cars
Travelling with a convoy of 12 cars on a road filled with high-performance race cars

Till' the pilot give me 5 minutes before he take off (Roll Up)
Until the pilot gives me a 5-minute warning before taking off in the private jet

That's my conclusion... See it's the fast life we livin'...
That's what I've realized... It's the high-speed, risky lifestyle we're leading

So I'm ah tell you, if you in the left lane
So let me tell you, if you're in the left lane (referring to a metaphorical position in life)

Keep going cause they right on your heels nigga (Squalieee)
Keep moving forward because the opposition is right behind you, chasing after you

And if they catch you, that's your ass...
And if they catch you, you're in trouble

And if you blink nigga, your life could be over (We Got No Time For Sleep)
And if you let your guard down, your life could end abruptly

I keep sayin' the rap game is like the crack game
I keep telling people that the rap industry is similar to the world of drug dealing

Cause we could all end up dead or in jail
Because we could all end up dead or incarcerated

They got us under surveillance...
They're constantly watching and monitoring us

And to all my niggas behind the g-wall (My Soldiers)
And to all my friends locked up in jail

Inhale, exhale... Shake your nuts if you have to (East Side)
Breathe in, breathe out... Show your strength and resilience if necessary

And all the political soldiers that ain't never comin' home (RIP Too)
And to all the political prisoners who will never return home (Rest in Peace)

To all my homies, East Side...
To all my friends from the East Side

While you in your cell, raise hell to this (Roll Call)
While you're locked up, cause chaos and make noise to this song

I do this for ya'll (Dipset)... I feel ya' pain (I'm On The Same Route)
I make music for all of you (Dipset)... I understand your struggles

I know what it's like hittin' the streets at ah early age to deal cocaine (It's Ah Cold World)
I know the harsh reality of having to sell cocaine at a young age

Survival, It's all about the struggle (We Gotta' Eat)...
Survival is all about the hardships and challenges we face (we have to eat)

So I dedicate this to you (My Soldiers)
So I dedicate this song to you, my friends in difficult situations (my soldiers)

Keep your head up and your eyes open...
Stay strong and remain vigilant

Stay focused, It's us against them
Stay determined and remember that it's us against the world

I'd never let them take me alive, take me alive..
I would never allow them to capture me alive, it's better to die
