Can It Be All So Simple


Can it be that it was all so simple then? (4x)

[Raekwon]
Yo, started off on the island
A/K/A Shaolin, niggas wailin
Gun shots known to thump daily
Back in the days I'm eight now
Makin a tape now
Rae gotta get a plate now
Ignorant and mad young
Wanted to be the one
Til I got - BLAOW! - thrown one
My pops was a fiends at sixteen
Shootin that (pass that shit!) in his bloodstream
That's the life of a grimey
Real live grimey
If niggas know the half is behind me
Day one, yo growin all up in the ghetto
Now I'm a weed fiend jettin the Palmetto
In Medina no doubt the god got crazy clout
Pushin the big joint from down south
So if ya filthy's stacked up
Better watch ya back and duck
Cause these fiends, they got it cracked up
Now my man from up north
Now he got the law
It's solid as a rock and crazy salt
No jokes I'm not playin, get his folks
Desert Eagle his dick and put him in a yolk
And to know for sure I got wreck and rip shot
I pointed a gat at his mother's knot
(Yo Rae don't do that shit man! Yo don't do that shit!!)
Fuck that

Chorus
Dedicated to the winners and the losers
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
Dedicated to all jeeps and land crisers
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
Dedicated to the flies, 850 eyes
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
Dedicated to niggas who do drive-bys
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
Dedicated to the Lexus and the X
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
Dedicated to MPV's phat!
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)

[Ghostface Killah]
Kickin the fly cliches
Doin duets with Rae and A
Happens to make my day
Tho I'm tired of bustin off shots
Havin a rock notch
Runnin up in spots and makin shit hot
I'd rather flip shows instead of those
Hangin on my living room wall
My first joint and it went gold
I wanna lamp, I wanna be in the shade
Plus the spot light
Gettin my dick rode all night
I wanna have me a phat yacht
And enough land to go and plant my own cess crops
But for now it's just a big dream
Cause I find myself in the place where I'm last seen
My thought must be relaxed
Be able to maintain
Cause times is changed and life is strange
The glorious days is gone and everybody's doin bad
Yo mad lives is up for grabs
Brothers passin away, I gotta make wakes
Receivin all types of calls from upstate
Yo, I can't cope with the pressure
Settlin for lesser
The god left lessons on my dresser
So I can bloom and blossom, find a new way
Continue to make hits with Rae and A
Sunshine plays a major part in the daytime
(Peace to mankind, Ghostface carry a black nine nigga
Word up
It's on like that)

Can it be that it was all so simple then? (4x)
