Cocaine Business
N.O.R.E. Lyrics

Ay yo, we was chillin, on the low
We were relaxing and keeping it quiet and discreet.

Yo in Vegas, this was at the Magic Show
This happened in Las Vegas during a big event.

Had my PNB clothes and my West Coast hoes
I had my PNB clothing and was with my women from the West Coast.

Get me at the airport, I'm at the MGM
Meet me at the airport, specifically the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino.

Smoke Swisher Sweets and Zigs and Zags
I smoked Swisher Sweets and Zig Zag rolling papers.

Drinkin Brandy straight, out a tall ass glass
I was drinking straight Brandy from a really tall glass.

They call em Maurice's, I'm wit E-40
They call the glasses we were drinking from Maurice's and I was with E-40.

Mack-10 yo and that nigga W.C.
I was with Mack-10 and W.C.

Yo in the lobby of the hotel, it's off the hook
The hotel lobby was crazy and exciting.

They got no more rooms cause the shit all booked
They had no more available rooms because they were completely booked.

But last night I'm wit Wesley Snipes
Last night I was with Wesley Snipes.

Gettin drunk in Cheetah's just feelin aiight
We were getting drunk at Cheetah's and feeling good.

I had to bounce early though, gotta catch a flight
I had to leave early because I had a flight to catch.

Told west peeps give a pound to him and his peeps
I told my West Coast people to give Wesley Snipes and his people a handshake.

I had to bounce in the limo, get somthin to eat
I had to leave in the limousine and go eat something.

Ay yo, I'm bouncin in the limo gettin somthin to eat
I am leaving in a limousine to get food.

It Go...
And that's how it went down.

Cocaine business controls America
Illegal cocaine business has a tight grip on America.

Illegal business causin hysteria (4x)
Illegal business is causing chaos and fear.

On my way to the airport, the limo drive
I was being driven to the airport in the limousine.

And then this cat pulled up in a pure white five
Then this person pulled up in a pure white BMW 5-Series sedan.

He said he hate me and he wished that I'd die
He said he hated me and wanted me dead.

I rolled the window down and I said what's up
I rolled down the window and asked what he wanted.

I said fuck you, then I rolled the shit back up
I cursed at him and rolled up the window again.

I paid it no mind, just drove off tough
I didn't think much of it and drove away confidently.

And then the driver said to me, yo they followin us
The driver told me that we were being followed.

Now I'm a little scared
Now I'm feeling a little frightened.

But I'm still prepared
But I'm still ready.

I'm like one deep wit one gat, nigga I'm here
I'm alone but I have a gun, so I'm not afraid.

Then I thought to my self, yo I'm near LaGuardia
I thought to myself that I was near LaGuardia Airport.

Let me cut through the hood and have my niggas just body it up
Let me go through the neighborhood and have my friends be armed and ready.

Have my niggas on the block playin the cut
Have my friends on the block waiting and watching for anyone suspicious.

Call em up, when you see the white five fire it up
Call them up and start shooting at the white BMW 5-Series sedan when you see it.

At this point I'm poppin shit, knowin I got it
At this point I'm talking big and confident, knowing I have my friends backing me up.

"Come On Motherfucker!!!", out the sunroof I yelled
I yelled "Come on, Motherfucker!" out of the sunroof.

Hopin these niggas still follow me and still don't bail
I'm hoping that these people will keep following me and won't give up.

It go...
And that's how it went down.

My niggas was on the block like I planned
My friends were on the block like I had planned.

They hit the passenger side up and killed his man
They shot the passenger side and killed the other person in the car.

I hopped out the limo and just spinned around
I got out of the limousine and spun around.

Hit the ground, my niggas tried to hit the clown
I fell to the ground and my friends tried to shoot at the other person.

I said chill, he say he wanna see me die
I told them to calm down because the other person said he wanted me dead.

So let me hit the nigga up, blow him kiss good-bye
So let me shoot the other person and say goodbye.

Adios!
Goodbye!

Now I just gotta be ghost
Now I just have to disappear.

I gave my niggas a pound, and then I just hand em the toast
I gave my friends a handshake and then gave them their guns.

The limo driver got scared and tried to bounce on me
The limousine driver got scared and tried to leave me behind.

And yo besides the heat, I had an ounce on me
Plus, I was carrying an ounce of something illegal.

Bullet proof vest feelin like an couch on me
My bulletproof vest was very bulky and uncomfortable.

I called the hood cab, oh-5, came real fast
I called the taxi from the neighborhood and it came very quickly.

I had to bounce real quick, get up off da ave.
I had to leave quickly and get off of the street.

And yo motherfucker that's what I did
And that's exactly what I did, you motherfucker.

Ay yo, I still hit the airport and caught the flight kid
I still made it to the airport and caught my flight, man.

To all the haters, it don't even matter cause we still got doe
To all the people who hate us, it doesn't matter because we still have money.
