La Familia Lyrics

[Intro]
They can get to anyone, anywhere
The Firm
Fox, AZ, Nature, Cormega, Escobar
We're gonna break this Firm
And when we break 'em
Their life as they know it will be over
Trackmasters

[Verse 1: Foxy Brown]
Ill Na-na capo, The Firm, team Gestapo
36 moves, 37 ways, triple days, triple pays
Nana, Fox Boogie, Firm mama
Conniver, Lady Godiva or Scarlet whichever O'Hara
It's hazardous, we lace the Lazarus
Dip and probably find her behind the liner, three Na-na's
So, what the deal, pah? I kill for these three, for real
You soft 'cause you bustin' off, nigga, to get ya rocks off
The Pharaoh, the crime organized, mad De Niro
And six-point-one-five to zero like a hero
Team, let’s roll on 'em
Watch 'em turn bitch, 'Mega stole on 'em
That's how we play this, I slay this
Copped the pair of fours and the shittest drawers, really
‘Cause pretty had the nigga leery, mad dipped it
Nas, you flipped this, Sos’ with VSO's twisted
We separate the real from the bitched up
We switched up our Gator stroke, though
Ill skin color coco, we loco
Love is love, toke the tre' ocho
Status Illmatic, whatever, raw dealer for real-er
Baby girl, yeah, it's La Familia
I'd die in a minute for 'em
Sosa dipped the four-point-six Range Rover to Villanova
From Castellano to Colombo, easy to Genovese
Firm stay jiggy, trash shabazz
I swear, you know the García, straight cop threes
Can't knock these in drop threes, we cop cheese
[Verse 2: Nature]
Peep the diagnosis, properly supply the dosage
Who leave 'em stuck like parole hoes and freeze the focus?
When I squeeze, your pleads is hopeless, you wet, though
I jet from the block, niggas spot me like UFO's
Dressed in Lo, jump in the Q, front for who?
No need to stress it, though
Smokin' my weed, countin' decimals
Recognize this, real thugs respect violence
1-9-9-6, some would rather dry snitch
Coruptfully, my whole team be screamin', "Fuck the beasts"
Some are spare guns, shootin' fair ones in the public streets
Believe the worst, so it seems the whole team's cursed
We tortured, trained to hold heat and squeeze first
Never end in tales, when niggas fall but some prevail
With fate holdin' us together like four Navy war SEALs
Must I start pullin' jux, or place my trust in God?
Forced to cover my face, cameras help the case get solved
Your faith dissolves when ya up against the next comin'
For now, focus on Nature, bet I wet somethin'

[Verse 3: Nas]
I'd die for my niggas
Stick you for pies and lie for my niggas
Plead guilty, get the chair and fry for my niggas
It's essential that we all is A-Alike in mental
We've been through life, cold-blood, livin' sinful
Though we learned from old thugs that made it
Peeped how they played it, we rated and evaluated
Calculated the ages we be, the days that we see
Chips freely, beyond whips and TV’s
Stock bonds, loot flipped the CD’s
But niggas hate to see you on top
They'd rather be you, what not
I keep the Desert Eagle pump cocked
Spot the vic' in this guy quick, why pop shit?
My niggas leave ya shot quick in a hop skip
Specialize in fly shit
VS on my breath, while niggas gossip on the Thai stick
I'm on some Doe or Die shit
[Verse 4: AZ]
Check my lingo, and all the white ice that make my rings glow
I've seen doe, got a dime wife from San Domingo
Face it, it's mathematics basics, far from fake shit
My mind is sacred, my skin shine like a Cuban bracelet
Egyptian Pharaoh, potent ganja used to get me paro
Now I inhale from gunshots through my double barrel
Beneath the ground is how the sound travel, so what have you?
Keep in mind — Fed's won't stop until they grab you
Used to bust guns, now it's just stocks and trust funds
G's and CD's so my seed could soon touch some
The foulness I once provoked is now behind me
It's gonna take more than sellin' coke now to bind me
You had me thinkin', "I gotta kill to keep from sinkin'"
That con way of life that keep live niggas from Lincoln
I saw it comin', that's why I slowed down from dumbin'
Most of my crew is runnin', can't even afford t summons
