Shark Tank

[Raekwon Intro]
Talk your shit lord
Give em the business ya heard
Word up
We come from over there ya know
This shit is real life man
Every time man every time
(Record spinning)
Ayo
[Verse 1] [Raekwon]
From being ten toes in, stealing liquor
Running in my men goes in, thats how the wind blows in
We was 14 again, back then
1 hammer, 1 blade, 1 set of rules, 1 win
Buncha bobcats robbin' cats
My block was a goldmine, floating through the hood in a Dodgers hat
Narcs chasing n*ggas through the parks
Running through dice games, the dough was up in White Plains with bar
Eatin' Wells, blowin' L's out the water
Fucking them whores, rockin' them shells up in Modell's
The time will come like watches, soon we be gettin' paid
Leaving all them block shits
The notches was rising, harmonizing
Yeah my flow was pulverizing, smashing them beats down I glides in
About to be a new man with a new plan
Getting my shit together
Word to nana
[Bridge]
[Raekwon]
Talk yo shit, lord
G-Give em the business ya heard
Word up
[Man's Voice]
The trouble that mankind makes is that he thinks...
[Raekwon]
This shit is real life man, every time man every time
[Verse 2] [Canyon]
Yeah..let it build
(Record spinning with Raekwon, "A-Ayo")
I’m like Bill Belichick in the way that I plan my defense
Meaning I don’t have a flow, I read whatever the beat is
Could put another sweater on, never sweating my demons
Been rapping since 11, I’m 27 and beastin'
That means for 16 years been 16'ing
69'ed the beat 3 times I was 23’ing
Mike Jordan of recording, I am just UNC’ing
Confused by underestimaters, really? you don’t see it?
Now Let it build it again
I want a life with lots of joy, that is filled with zen
So if I lose it, I remember how to build again
They try to act about as real as I really am
Overflowing with emotions bout to spill again
I've got family and friends that I will defend
Til' the bitter end
If they die, when I die I'mma visit them
I’m so thorough I can sense when it’s all pretend
So that fake love it ain’t love I will accept
Even in new situations I still feel adept
Trust myself and trust my god until his will is met (His will is met)
There is Nothing that I will regret...because it brought me here
Right to writing this bar
My life at its core,
All of my strife and my war,
All of these stripes that I wore,
All in this Mic which I pour
This is my vice that is pure
Uh
This is my life at its core,
All of my strife and my war,
All of these stripes that I wore,
All in this Mic which I pour
This is my vice that is pure
This is my one vice that is pure
(Chorus)
Lotta Big ideas feel like Shark Tank in here
Toasting Sangria but my heart isn’t here
Thinking of the future, is it smart is it fear?
Anxiety inside of me so sharp and severe
Then a thought does appear
I’m not present for the present and I ought to be here
Blink my eyes look around and the thought disappears
Take another sip but I'm not distraught now I’m here and it’s clear
That this ship that I whip where I am skip (yeah) it's an awful lot to steer
But I put it on my mom we gone make it to the pier
Then Take a hit, aw shit I had a big idea
(Chorus)
Big ideas flowing round feel like Shark Tank in here
Toasting Sangria, but my heart isn’t here
Thinking of the future, is it smart is it fear?
Anxiety inside of me so sharp and severe
Big ideas flowing round feel like Shark Tank in here
Toasting Sangria but my heart isn’t here
Thinking of my future, is it smart is it fear?
Anxiety inside of me so sharp and severe
But... (echos)
But that’s how light from the darkness appears
I’m just - just trying to see my heart in the mirror
Thinking of the future is it smart, is it fear?
[Man's Voice]
The trouble that mankind makes is that he thinks he's Italian, he's German, he's Spanish, we're all humans... on this beautiful paradise
