Da Bridge 2001 Lyrics

[Verse 3: Cormega]
What, yo, it ain't just the music
Hoop aspirations or ghetto illusions
It's the product, east side, and all the beautiful children
And unleashed dreams comin' through each building

If you sleep, you better wake up, as you see
Mega more mature, I'm on a record with Nature
Mind on my paper, nine in my waist
There's no denyin' the greatness
Queensbridge, never try to disgrace it


[Verse 4: Millennium Thug]
Yo, yo, yo
The Queensbridge associations breeds similarity
Bricked up, chipped off rocked out salaries
Pull out long guns, pop out casualties
It's like I gotta see a thug nigga ill as me
The Ill Will in me, I rep that willingly

Step back enemies, death trap, feelin' me? (yeah)
Six blocks, losin' my mind
Runnin' from D's
These P's got me usin' my nine, I pop off


[Verse 5: Nature]
Y'all know the place where stars is from
Every night it sparks off and the crowds'll run
We leave chicks trippin' over strollers (Slip, it's over)
In Queens, you be the victim 'til you get to know us
Your hood's bogus, my hood be keepin' it crunk
So much be jumpin' off I ain't sleep in a month
Y'all can play the front line, I be deep in the cut
Drive through, y'all can't peep it enough
You in the Bridge, nigga
[Verse 6: Capone]
Yo, you must pay homage to my projects
We thorough to the end
Only jail and death divide us
From rap to the crack suppliers
Out-of-towners get knocked off
We regulate block laws
I had the hood like Watts flooded with cop force
QB to the cracks in the pavement
Mister Everything that re-center pool for stacks in a basement
Niggas understand the drama we bring
The legacy, dynasty upholding the ring where QB is king, what!

[Verse 7: Tragedy Khadafi]
Yo, for you, I take a fifth to the head until I earl
Boomerang dunn, QB bust they gun
Keep them PC niggas on the run, one
Mahti specialist, 2-5 the nemesis
The last verse, "T.O.N.Y." remember this
Resurrect through the birth of my seed, crime genetic

You synthetic, your gangsta's cosmetic
I move niggas telekinetic, who wanna set it

[Verse 8: Prodigy]
Yo, yo, yo
Move, me and my dogs comin' through
We the grain, go against us you feel pain
Get rained on, we beat niggas numb
These niggas is dumb, you can't resist my dunns
2001 we still thump, the fuck happened to y'all?
We like that snowball, goin' downhill
We get large, you get bullets lodged
In your jaw, your ribs, your arms
We party hard, at the bar
Buyin' bottles of overpriced styles and Remy Mar'
The Head Niggas In Charge
We number one, QB there's no competition
Infamous Records, Bars and Hooks listen
Littles, Noyd, and Mega
We independent, dunn we Infamous Mobbin'
G.O.D., Nitty and Twin in
The Ill Will Bravehearts, L.E.S. millennium
