[Intro: AZ]
You lookin' like money
You know what it is
Yeah
You know what it is
Yeah
[Verse 1: AZ]
You know the happenings, homies just yappin' and
Hand shaking, laughing, and exchangin' all they math again
You usually lose touch when you travelin'
A few dudes bruised up in the battlin'
Parked on Madison across from the Radisson
We talked about the tattlin' some niggas did in Maryland
Plus discussed old homicides unravelin'
I asked, was he dabblin', he laughed and said he managin'
His Cartier frames was as clear as a camera lens
He hardly changed, I was near in comparison
We joked about how police choked him out
And hе claimed as far as fame I had enough to bust in Oprah's mouth
In othеr words, I was up in clout
And from the curb I need to pull a Larry Bird, 'fore I'm up and out
Without a sound, snatched my Guinness off the ground
Rose up, gave him a pound and told him, "Homie, hold it down"
[Chorus: Melle Mel]
"Close to the edge
I'm try— try— trying
Not to lose my head
I'm— trying
Not to lose my head
Ah-huh-huh-huh-huh"
[Verse 2: AZ]
It was Tuesday when I saw him, figured Friday I could call him
Woke up early Wednesday morning, flew a chick in from New Orleans
She ain't that average bitch who be doggin' for dick
You know them chicks that get you sick when they keep callin'
Up in Nordstrom's for a fresh pair to floss 'em
Of course with footwear I be that first nigga that sport 'em
Caught 'em before the salesmen even had time to assort 'em
Bought 'em before any celeb stylist ever saw 'em
Wore 'em soon as I copped 'em in the spot playing possum
Debating my destination, lacing, weighing my options
Celly started rockin', I answered, what's poppin'
They answered and said, they shot him, now the hood got a problem
I had to swallow, reaching out for my water bottle
Tryin' to figure what nigga, why and by who, then
Before you know it, the other voice told it
It was homie from the old clique I just seen and spoke with
[Outro: AZ]
"Oh, shit
It can't be serious!
Worldwide!
Okay, any—"
