[Verse 1: Havoc] Ready for war, ready for anything But doing this for urring, y'all niggas know my pedigree Forty first side, blood run through my veins Got everything to gain like the stock and change Got shorty in the hood on the ankle rocking my name Words that I spit, it's my brain and pipe game Call me your natural, who never went right ring QB's radical's just doing his thing Ayo, niggas hate it, even though they try to portray it This money looking good, fuck it, you can all hate it Like I'ma lose sleep, hold life, have beef So you can say what you think about me Ayo you niggas like Nas and gunfights, you're dead wrong Pulled out the nine and still got hooked on Your no frill scheme and on skill team Got you in a coma, angel of your shoulder

[Verse 3: Roxanne Shanté] Who you know had guilty FO wanting to tie in the coochie Now thugging album covers, rocking guns and Gucci '85 getting paid while them gangstas watch Champagne pop Benzes, candy painted drop, bitch Roxanne Shanté, Hilary Clinton Lay out the red carpet, y'all hoes shut up and listen Mouths close when you ever hear a veteran spittin Y'all hoes only shine with the legend's permisson Bitches ask around "why she wait to spit this long?" You know the queen who came out with the first hit song I showed hoes how to rock furs, Glocks in my skirts Dated real killers when they feel I cop them a bird Ain't nothing, ain't fronting, Shantie love where she lives Mother of my two kids and the mother of the rich Tried the planes, ran the game with Sham, Marley and Biz Still real, popping up with Nas mobbing the Bridge No silicone, no wigs, no liposuction First bitch riding racks along cycles fronting I respect new females, give all y'all credit Supporting your videos, bought all y'all records No matter how you get down, your sexual preference Just keep this shit real or this thunnette going to set it Queensbridge projects, yeah, we murder the rest And all my gangstrisses know I rock the best

Havoc and Big Noyd of Mobb Deep team up with the legendary Roxanne Shanté to rep their hometown.
Why her? Because she’s also from Queensbridge! In fact, famously so. (You may have heard of the Bridge Wars?)
