[Verse 1: Proof]
A piece to the puzzle, the war and struggle
It's more than trouble, this is between the Lord and Devil
Born a rebel but sworn to never cross my team
Exhausted dreams, I held by the boss and king
Imagine the people of Bad Meets Evil
The difference [?] to draft a sequel (Bang)
It's just explosive vest and plastic C4
Oppurtunities bang like Shaq at the free throw
The business cult of music is frightening
Proof and Royce has been a vocal point of the fool and the wise men
From hypemens to felons, and felons blinded by jealous
They tell us [?] coppers lock us in jail, I was young
[Verse 2: Royce Da 5'9"]
I'm the product of proper judgement
The father that popped my momma was a hollow-tip popper, a thug
See I was forced, they tried to abort me like one of my cousins
But unfortunately momma wouldn't budge
My daddy was young, his back was to the wall
I pat him on it 'cause he'll tell you he glad he was young
But let's go back about 21 years later until the future
And see some mistakes that I've made and if it was me
What would you have done, would you have used your gun
I'm someone to prove, you run the city ran by no one
Everybody competing, nobody eating and I
Am a lost part of that reason, I was young
[Verse 3: Proof]
Picture being a fan of a friend with a gun in your hand
Thinking "Damn I gotta damage this man?"
Or imagine the ceiling attempting to kill you
Haunted by brotherly love so you're stuck in the rear-view
Pick up a [bubble?] what kinda is fine
Quick to limits, a kind is to defy this
This allegiance goes beyond the voice
It's more than beef, record and peace, not for us, but for Nasaan and Royce
All this shit happen from beef, shit in his teeth, pull it
Knowing my foolish ways could make me eat bullets
Since Blade and [White?], count my days are nice
Scared to death in the same breath, I'm afraid of life, I was young
[Verse 4: Royce Da 5'9"]
Sales decreasing, bail increasing
Now seeing them niggas together again, Hell'll be freezing
Now underground is hot, my nigga to Hell we reaching
Malcolm, slain 'cause of his rebelious teachings
How come [made that's?] one of his eldest speaking to him
Tell him you failed me, how could you do that me? (I don't know)
I said the cannon was loose, said I just ran in the booth
Spat at whoever, now who madder than you at me? Nobody
From battling, pulling a gat out on Proof
Besides who doesn't really matter to nobody
The message is clear, my guess is a lesson in marriage
Just repearable unless some dies, unless you care, 'less you 'pair it, 'less you 'pair it
