Shook Ones, Pt. I(Explicit) - Mobb Deep

[00:21.0]The most violent of the violentest crimes we give life to
[00:24.36]If these Queensbridge kids don't like you
[00:27.03]We bring drama of the worst kind of enemies
[00:29.71]Your first time will be your last Earth memories
[00:32.11]It's only your own fault I gave you fair warning
[00:34.78]Beware of killer kids who don't care
[00:37.22]Unaware fools will be dealt with in time
[00:39.88]It ain't a mystery how I form the words in rhyme
[00:42.58]In nineteen hundred and ninety square
[00:45.58]All shook n***as is supposed to have fear
[00:48.25]Tryna get a piece of this pie we don't share
[00:50.91]Prepare for the worst 'cause I been there
[00:52.85]Try to keep a positive mind and walk a straight line don't work
[00:56.77]So n***as is forced to do dirt
[00:58.62]And God made dirt so this dirt won't hurt
[01:01.26]If I listen to the lessons and the rules I learnt
[01:03.92]On these streets for nineteen years and not leaving
[01:06.83]My first priority's to reach twenty one breathing
[01:09.520004]Forever beef nobody will ever be even
[01:12.18]So I grab the heat before breezing
[01:14.36]Lost in this foul mind state I can't keep straight thinkin'
[01:17.67]But I keep my eyes on the Earth without blinking
[01:20.22]It's hard to be a man in this land of the venom
[01:22.78]Any man try to front he get slugs in him
[01:25.32]Because
[01:26.6]He ain't a crook son
[01:28.6]Son
[01:29.81]He just a shook one
[01:34.2]Shook one
[01:35.68]We live the life that of diamonds and guns
[01:38.25]And numerous ways that we choose to earn funds
[01:41.06]Some n***as get shot locked down and turn nuns
[01:44.380005]Cowardly hearts and straight up shook ones

[02:16.16]Once you get upon the Island change your ways and stop
[02:18.85]Thirteen years in the projects of hard times I've lived in
[02:22.23]Wake up in the morning thank God I'm still living
[02:25.06]Sometimes I wonder do I deserve to live
[02:27.44]Or I am going to burn in hell for all the s**t I did
