A.V.
reTIreMEnt: THE ALBUM (01/22) ALL DSPs
LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
Uh...Aristocrats...politicking daily wit diplomats...
I had visions, by 26 I could be living that...
The years I've given to the system, I ain't getting back .
Halfway home, from a motherfukkin prison rack.
And I been moving cautious...Nozzle on the gun.
Recovering from some losses & now I'm on the run.
On bail outta Camden...Catch me in the slums.
But it's I-9-5, If you ask me where I'm from.
Cuz my V.A. nikkas showed me how to cook a key...
When u was pushing E, we was whipping to Pusha T.
When my B.K. nikkas get hungry, they look to me...
Never ran, never will. You know, how Brooklyn be.
I used to spin the track, in the pen, listening to Dike-O
Maino came to visit, used to get a nikka hype, so...
We kickin G shyt & politickin bout these trife hoes,
Swear to God they love ya, but ain't never send a kite tho...
Shootin in the gym? No. Move Above the Rim.
Been feeling how Kyle did, when he was hooping at the end.
If you was a young nikka, getting loot wit all your friends.
Who eventually told on you, what would you do for revenge?
Lawwwwd...Now these hating nikkas blogging, and commenting...
They all talk about Paul, but I nahhh listen...
To lose it all, cased up, What you know about it?
The fukk are you, to try to tell me how to go about it?
HOOK:
nikka i done been down, for a real long time.
Walk a mile in a nikka shoes, not mine.
fukk boi, I ain't gotta prove my grind...
You ain't bang wit me, or do my time...
You ain't never ever gotta choose my side...
You ain't gotta feel me, u can move on by...
Feds on my dikk, nikka, boom bye bye...
Think I might fukk around and lose my mind...
BRIDGE:
Mind, mind...mind...p*ssy nikka, I'ma fukk around n lose my mind...
My mind, mind...keep playin, might fukk around, lose my mind...
Mind, mind...mind...p*ssy nikka, I'ma fukk around n lose my mind...
My mind, mind...keep playin, might fukk around, lose my...
VERSE 2:
My first bid I was 16...Second bid, was 6 months.
3rd bid, did 4 years...Last year, got picked up.
My Lawyer cost 25 racks...That's what he quoted.
You LUCKY I got the presence of mind, to capture this moment.
Just so u can ignore the words, play it louder for the beats.
Download it for in the car, forget about it in a week?
This is how we getting down in 2000 and 16?!
...Nobody give a fukk, bout ya album or 16s?!
When the judge sentenced me, I was a Menace to Society.
Came home wiser, now these little nikkas trying me.
I'm trying not kill another brother, but I feel funny...
Oh Lord, take the wheel from me...
Got new bytches tryna steal, from me...
My ex bytches say they still love me...
Rear view mirror looking real ugly...
fukk em all, 5-0s & the courts...
They want me out in VA, but I'm doing shows in New York, like...
HOOK
BRIDGE
Dike-O (a little older than Biggie, from the same area, Maino's relative/business partner, he got Executive Producer credits on Maino 1st 2 albums while serving a 10 year drug bid) told me one day while we were walking the track in the penitentiary, pretty much the premise of this thread.

"Welcome home to my brother Dike-O. Finally home after 9yrs. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for this man rite here"
Not on no disrespect shyt, just keeping it a buck w me. We rarely ever talked rap, he never knew I rhymed, he just fukked wit me off hearing about work I was putting in, so this was just a random convo early in the morning.
He said that, and the Pro-Black, organized gangsta shyt Pac was on, is what he & Main gravitated to, more so than Biggie during the beef, which explains this:
No shade, all facts. And I prefer BIG over Pac music any day of the week & put him in my Top 5.
