Babies

[Chorus: Madame D] Light is shining, beauty sunshine Here comes one-time, the ball was so fine Heat is blazing, the kids were playing His partner was shady, trying to slave the babies [Verse 1: Ghostface Killah] A-yo, they didn't know the cop was crooked He had blow out in Brooklyn All this while he let the fiends cook it The baseheads stirred it up, plus they got to blow it up Dropped it off in the PJ's and they bigged it up Then one day, shit jumped off real crazy The middle of a bathroom they find an old lady No clothes, half of her tongue, ear missing The killer had to be mad smart, he wore mittens Even though her leg was bitten Crackheads point the finger at Detective Slick Morris Gittins Paleface cop who done popped the best And got the chop on his neck from when he knocked Celeste It was a slug, drug, he pressured everybody on the block Some niggas know him as the Godson of Gotti And his black partner, he was scared to speak He saw how they planted weapons on these kids in the street He saw like over fifty bodies in like fifty-two weeks He saw his colleague pick up money before leaving his beat They call him desk duty, Robocop, younger dudes Call him Freddy Krugs from the way he walk on the block [Chorus: Madame D] Light is shining, beauty sunshine Here comes one-time, the ball was so fine Heat is blazing, the kids were playing His partner was shady, trying to slave the babies [Verse 2: Raekwon] Heard the disturbance out my window, oh shit they got my son Pulled over his Tempo, Brenda dropped the indo Had her little nephew with her yo she didn't care They always harassed her, until she blew the captain with a razor His partner turned red in his waist, maced her, smacked her With the walkie, yoked her then slammed her on her face He bugged on her like she was drugged, plugged one in her The fifth relaxed her like a big thug pistol whipped her Heard she was dusted, must've been the way they threw the cuffs on her She broke the shits, went and rushed the kid Waving her hands, she had a half an axe, all in her tracks He grabbed her by the hair, she broke his jaw it cracked More cops arrived, they both bloodied down by the five Wildest niggas just smiling cause it look live They gave her forty years in New Orleans, calling me wodie Shorty was young, by three days had a Grey beard [Chorus: Madame D] Light is shining, beauty sunshine Here comes one-time, the ball was so fine Heat is blazing, the kids were playing His partner was shady, trying to slave the babies [Verse 3: GZA] You're just worms in the worst part of the apple that's rotten You squirm and you turn from the right, still plottin All slimy cause you stay grimy, petty crime-y cat You sometime me, don't need to remind me about Living in the core, with the scramblers in front of the store The bum holding the door, the mugging no one saw We played ball in the alley where dope was shot raw And the school they kept flawed, plus the lowest test scores Small percentage determined to strengthen they position Transformation from critical to stable condition But it still be obstacles on niggas that's optical Watching you like salt-water sharks that's tropical The money was the root and it's the instinct to make it With they pockets and fridge naked, many aim to take it Whether—hold up, set up, stabbing or a wet up Just to know it was the kid next door fizzucked your head up Once he fell short, frequently visit the courts And for some, another way out, is music and sports That's why I, keep the rhyme just as fly as a shot That won the championship with just O on the clock [Chorus: Madame D] Light is shining, beauty sunshine Here comes one-time, the ball was so fine Heat is blazing, the kids were playing His partner was shady, trying to slave the babies Light is shining, beauty sunshine Here comes one-time, the ball was so fine Heat is blazing, the kids were playing His partner was shady, trying to slave the babies
