-Wish Bone-
Big Bad St. Clair
-Krayzie Bone-
Nigga wuz born and brought up in Cleveland/
Cool quiet just like my daddy/
When I wuz thuggin out in the alley/
With my boys in a stolen Caddie/
I wuz shootin the breeze, blowin some weed/
And every now and then I sip some Hennesey/
And after my niggas wuz bustin we probably wuz lookin for trouble/
Uh Oh here come the po po/
Yall better toss that llello quick and tuck ya bankroll (Bank....)/
Don't think I forgot where I come from dog cuz I know/
Cleveland Ohio fo sho where we slang dope in the snow
-Wish Bone-
I'm from the streets the streets of Cleveland/
Its manditory you need it cuz niggas'll catch ya slippin/
and niggas'll leave ya bleedin/
Fuck what they said about Bone catch us anywhere/
Grab a couple of my St. Claire niggas take us anywhere, we don't care/
Handle that and take care of that/
If it goes like that then it goes like that/
Thats Cleveland (Cleveland)/
Its manditory to leave these niggas bleedin (Bleedin)/
And you could neva hate against Bone you wrong/
U know we brung it on so strong
-Layzie Bone-
We get em, split em, we hit em/
And Bone been the shit since I could remember/
Befo most of these niggas even thought about rap/
We wuz screamin out no surrender/
With a gat in the hand runnin wild in the land/
With a pocket full of boulders/
Po po know they can't hold us/
When they east dog comin from the shoulders/
And the older niggas they told us/
U gotta get down fo yo hustle/
Got glocks to show you this muscle/
Get the money little nigga don't struggle/
Trust no bitch nigga that's the rules/
All my Cleveland niggas said to me/
For the ones that gave this game to me/
Ima push this shed to the head ya see
-Bizzy Bone-
Ya better believe that I be scared when I wuz there/
Nigga you know I ain't goin nowhere/
Your mother wuz my mother/
Ya brotha wuz right here/
In the Columbus but they loved me not (Whoa....)/
When I went to Cleveland they said where you been?/
When I'm unconditional with my loving/
And at the C-L-E-V-E...L-A-N-D/
And we get bucked on the block block block block/
And nigga remember I said weed is for me/
And all them niggas that love me down in Columbus nigga Cleveland Rocks
