Life Of A Drug Dealer


[The Genius a.k.a. Genius/GZA]
Life of a drug dealer

There's a rumor that an old lady heard a
Kingpin hirin a hitman to murder
A federal prosecutin drug dealing witness
But that's how it is in the business
And I'm in it, physically gainin power
Constantly countin up cash by the hour
And it feels good to be paid
Regardless of how many victims get slayed
Accomplices of mines drop like flies
But in this everyday a homeboy dies
Whether shot in the body or cyanide in your Bacardi
Cause it's a cutthroat party
Now it's up to me to retaliate
And if I score, I'll increase the murder rate
I move on ones who doublecross
Set em up, now they suffers the loss
Of he or she who's ever on the agenda
Most likely a family member
Informants, rattle tattle tellin snakes
Get shot up, brutalized and thrown in lakes
The parts of a body is found days later
The other half was done by an amputator
I'm undefeated in plenty fights
My enemies are beaten with many stripes
I'll shoot up funerals, firebomb wakes
Vehicular homicides, whatever it takes
Just to keep control of my empire
I'll set your own mother on fire
Cause when it comes down just to me and my money
Ain't a fucking thing funny
All those who pose a threat I'll stick em
Your friends, your family and innocent victims
Get caught in the midst when I'm bustin off nines
But they was in the wrong place, the wrong time
Decapitated bodies found in lots
While I'm still cookin up kilos in pots
The kilos become bricks and the bricks become rocks
Then retailed on the blocks
I drive around in expensive cars
And get women who fuck like porno stars
I get em high you know, like powder they nose
Then put em in the street as my high class hoes
I'm wild, livin foul and I'm ruthless
I leave muthafuckers toothless
I had a worker who stepped on the scene lively
Then started sellin my customers Ivory
Soap, counterfeit vials of cracks
I stuck em to death with a thousand thumbtacks
You seen my resume, that's just the half
I'm a bad muthafucker, just like Shaft
A character played by who? Richard Roundtree
The only difference, my guns are sound-free
Silencers ring off then wisp by
Then all you hear is a last minute cry
Of those who tried to control my territory
Not the West Side but the Bed-Stuy story
Police be givin me eye-to-eye contact
But I smile cause I'm puttin out contracts
Now a G-note is placed upon your head
You say picture that? Aiiight, bang you're dead

This is the life of a drug dealer
