Kilo

[Intro: Ghostface Killah & Sample]

Yo, yo—

—'round the world today, the kilo is a measure

Oh, yo, Rae, I can't feel my face, my heart pounding and shit

A kilo is one thousand grams—it's easy to remember

Paranoid as a motherfucker right now—who the fuck—close them blinds and shit. Who that?

All around the world today, the kilo is a measure

Captain Kirk? What, it's the fucking Stark Enterprise, the Enterprise shit outside, or some shit?

A kilo is one thousand grams—it's easy to remember

I need some pussy, though—I'm ready to fuck Catwoman or something. F—Fuck it, let's go!

[Hook: Ghostface Killah & Sample]

All around the world today, the kilo is a measure (Ayo, ayo, Shareefa, go to the store for me)

Whoever got the kilos got the candy, man

A kilo is one thousand grams—it's easy to remember (I need some razors and a fresh box of baggies)

You never catch the kid going hand-to-hand (The ones with ten in them)

All around the world today, the kilo is a measure (Ayo, son, turn that water down a little bit—just a little bit? Thank you)

Once you got the funds, you got the panties, man

A kilo is one thousand grams—it's easy to remember (I need two waters, a Dutch, and a cranberry Snapple)

Throughout I-95, I'm the handyman (Ayo)

[Verse 1: Ghostface Killah]

Bricks, tar caps, powder, cooked up crack

Phones is tapped over Franklin stacks

Kingpins put in bullpens, old connects get paro'

Break out of town when the Jakes take down the pharoah

Reason: He was moving that Peruvian white

Blowing coolies in the hoopties, slamming cuties at nights

Big, heavy pots over hot stoves

Mayonnaise jars in water with rocks in them

Got my whole project out of order

A kilo is a thousand grams

Beige, gold, brown, dirty, fluffy, tan

Extract oil cut from Cuban plants

The chemists is brolic, Pyrex scholars

Professors at war over raw, killing partners for a million dollars

[Hook: Ghostface Killah, Sample, & Raekwon]

All around the world today, the kilo is a measure

Whoever got the kilos got the candy, man

A kilo is one thousand grams—it's easy to remember

You never catch the kid going hand-to-hand

All around the world today, the kilo is a measure

Once you got the funds, you got the panties, man

A kilo is one thousand grams—it's easy to remember (Yeah)

Throughout I-95, I'm the handyman (Ayo)

[Verse 2: Raekwon]

Ayo, peace to those cooking that raw, powder-white

Get your sniff on, Scarface niggas, we getting right

Some call it "bricks," some call it "birds"

How many niggas get they lives tooken playing with shit, then catch a curve?

You would go to jail; get caught with this, niggas'll grow to fail

Stop playing, pot slaying, baking soda and scales

They lived like brothers—word life—connects discovered

Most niggas get hard from fucking with them pipes and hustlers

Kilos is one thousand grams

You know your ammo better be heavy, 'cause soon kids is coming in camo

Protect your land, daddy; I'm a announcer

You get caught with an ounce, it's over

Matter-fact, they taking you down, son

You never catch the kid going hand-to-hand

All around the world today, the kilo is a measure

[Verse 3: Ghostface Killah]

Some say a drug dealer's destiny is reaching a ki'

I'd rather be the man behind the door, supplying the streets

A hundred birds go out, looking like textbooks when they wrapped and stuffed

Four days later, straight cash, two million bucks

Strictly powder, no cut—your coke is vile, that's whats up

Y'all beefing over little shit, we sniff, the balance went up

In a plane or a penthouse, office or a warehouse

Tony got it nice, we never heard of any big droughts

Kilo is one thousand grams, a pile of sand is equivalent

To the eye, it's nice to have a thousand fans

Coke buyers, some be liars; therefore, you check for wires

Dedicated dealers, during holidays, we give 'em lighters

[Bridge: Ghostface Killah]

Red tops, blue tops, green tops, yellow tops

Purple tops, beige tops, white tops, grey tops

Black tops, clear tops, gold tops, pink tops

Silver tops, tan tops, aqua tops, orange tops

Tall tops, long tops, short tops, twelve-twelves

Fifty-eight fifty-eights, weed bags, Ziplocs

Big rocks, coke spots, two Glocks, one ox'

Crumbs chopped, hot pots, one plate, crack spot

[Hook: Ghostface Killah & Sample]

All around the world today, the kilo is a measure
