From days I wasn't able, there was always 'caine; (Co)caine being the way to make itDon't disrepect the flow. ABEL
I even went by the book at first"4 and a half will get you in the game/anything less is just a god damn shame"
Malice inspired nikkas hustle with that line
That's what made them so dope, it's like you had Push giving you the good side of hustling... women, flashy cars, being fly, while Malice gave you the bad side...remorse, survival, lossesI even went by the book at first
Until I realized 9 to 5 wouldn't quench my thirst
So I start my mission, leave my residence
Mama knew that a child like me had better sense
But something had to give, that's real I had to live
I chefed that soft white and pumped from her crib
Scouts honour, started with my grandmama
Who distributed yay' she had flown in from the Bahamas
Partner please, I grinds, I hustle with ease
Can damn near eyeball any weight in my sleep - Malice (Lord Willin' intro)
I've always said Clipse are Jay Z spilt in half..
Malice being his conscious side and Pusha being his flashy side
Whole album was fire. Neptunes really showcased their arsenal on it.
They mention the hold up on Mr. Me Too. Record label, Jive was the culprit not The Neptunes.They screwed over the Clipse, they shouldve been running hip hop for a while. Took like 6, 7 years for the 2nd album.
From days I wasn't able, there was always 'caine; (Co)caine being the way to make it
From days I wasn't Abel, there was always Cain; Cain & Able - Adam & Eve's sons (Genesis 4:1)
Cain murdered Abel, so God punished him with the life of a wanderer
You know how Clipse be with them filthy religious double entendres and punches![]()
