The Exclusive

[Intro 1: 'The Exclusive' announcer]

A Lord Quas exclusive

With MC M.E.D....!

[Intro 2: M.E.D. and sample]

Nah, I'm just sayin' though, man

It's some real shit, it's grown music, you know?

So I'ma be on some real issues with y'all tonight, man (Uh huh)

("One look") Yeah

For all my people – uh, look!

[Verse 1: M.E.D. and sample]

You never know a good thing 'til it's gone

Seem I acknowledge when it's too late to hold on

I lost girls and homies to things so small

Without egos involved it's all ("One look")

Believe nothing comes between ("One look")

We used to set the same dreams, same schemes

When I awoke to hear the word from the team – what you did, 

I prayed you wouldn't be where you've been at

[Chorus: M.E.D. and sample]

My niggas in the pen still ("One look")

To my mother, crying over bills ("One look")

To the brothers in our streets, killed ("One look") (Rest in peace)

I shed tears for my loved ones ("One look")

[Verse 2: M.E.D. and sample]

I do years for my loved ones

Trust 'em when bucks come

I'm up – you up, don't play dumb

And my reaction when I heard you found a new life?

To leave drugs for Christ, what could feel more right?

Gustavey kept the family together

In memories, she gonna last forever

That's ("One look")

It won't take a kiss or a hug

Not even words can express this love

My people, I got – One love

[Bridge: M.E.D. and sample]

My peeps

My niggas in the streets

My folks

My niggas in the pen

To my niggas gone

'Til we meet again ("One look")

You know... ("One look")

[Outro: M.E.D. and sample]

Sometimes, you gotta hold on to your real folks

Through the thick and thin, ya know?

As the liquor pours ("One look")

Friends change ("One look")

The world spins... niggas hate... ("One look")

Do ya thing, yeah ("One look")

M.E.D.
