I'll be The town's Al Pacino, bought my own casino Party like the Mardi Gras of Carnivals in Rio Find me in the hot spots flooded with rocks, so I Divide thugs with ooh-wops, trifling hella cops. My Strategy could make the world collapse And those I used to mess with similarly bounced as the market crashed Dante Pacino's only out for self Aha, I'm out for pussy and wealth Hundred G's on the Lamborghini, dimes in bikinis Shorties for driven Benzies, houses in the Indies With intellect, do the business on the internet Throughout time zones on supersonic-type jets No money off the weed, taking two and you're hype.

I rule A party like a chaperone, switch up my rapping tone Notorious like Al Capone, shoot up a party scene I've been through drama rappers hardly seen. Never had a godly dream All I dream about is dollars and death. I walk My borough late at night with alcohol on my breath. Ain't nothing Left to live for, so, wack emcees, I kill more when my skills pour L-Swift is liver than a jam of Gilmour, and I build doors That can't be broken down. I be choking clowns with fish and wire Wack niggas be on some funny shit like Richard Pryor On the mic, I shine like new chrome. Emcees, we walk around like Superstars but still live in a group home. For the new poem, I write Poetry like Langston Hughes. L-Swift be hanging crews Chill and let my nigga Mr. Voo embalm and bandage you And watch you burn like candles do on Easter Sunday. L be Getting busy like a runway, but, still, I chill, relax And learn 'cause I'm long-awaited like a tax return Plus I'm quick to burn a rapper like relaxing, but, hey, you heard me Freestyle. Well, check the written shit. I freeze emcees like Ice cubes and hand 'em death certificates, yo [Verse 4: Dante Pacino] Yo, you couldn't imagine all the luchi I be getting Fuck a car—give me the 747 To roam the heavens, playing dice with Christ, forgiving My sins, remaining New York's kingpin. This world Is my frontier, setting off expeditions Look out. Coming with my Killer Coalition, niggas Of my entourage done did decades If rhyming was the mob, then I'd be made as a Goodfella—you know why like Joe Pesc'. Never Possess GUESS, but I still stay fresh. I want Different-colored Kangols to match my Timbos Shit that I be kicking leaves your mind in limbo Purgatory. Narrate the crime story Pacino sets it on your entire territory, so Don't even tell me 'bout the shit your crew make. Man, my Shit is on release like a brand-new Clue tape My man's in the back of me, sipping on this daiquiri My dime must have blind, you ain't for the naked odyssey 'Cause, yo… [Interlude 2: Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo] Dante Pacino: Uh, to my man, yo, say what you got, yo Mr. Voodoo: Yo, yo, check it out one time, and I'm out, yo, check it [Verse 5: Mr. Voodoo] Now To put it candidly, I rip it randomly Get flam with me, and that's your last role like Brandon Lee To challenge me's unspeakable—why do the unspeakable? Seems I have to teach a few, defeating Voo's unreachable, so Forget the cliché. You gets no leeway—true 'Cause 666 is the route on my freeway Like Nick and Mallory, observe my gallery As I increase in calories, I increase my salary Now, can men tally the mentality? Mentally, no… [Interlude 3: Mr. Voodoo, Bobbito Garcia, Dante Pacino, and L-Swift] Mr. Voodoo: Haha, check it out one time. I'ma chill right here, I'ma chill, I ain't gonna say no more, aight?

I'll search For the glamor and gold 'til my grammar gets told. I'll flow For gangbangers that roll late-night, hold a Heineken case tight Run up in cribs and open stage fright, living my every- -day life like I'm supposed to. Every year, I get close to Living life less than most do. I'll sip a champagne And give a toast to Natural Elements, close crew. Collect My money in stacks like gold-digger hoes do. I suppose You should know my name now. I'm still the same now even though I entertain now. I still leave bloodstains now, but, still I live "My Life" like Mary J., relax and sip the Perrier And it's a daily routine 'cause, yo, I do this every day [Bridge 2: L-Swift] Check it. It's like that, y'all Check it as I flex it like that. Ayyo [Verse 7: Dante Pacino] No more Heartaches hustling tapes. Searching for the break got me Flipping eggs in the plates filled with mignon steaks All clichés, "Forever"'s on the pinky tag On the wrist. Martini twist kind that keeps the notes crisp For nickel toe-tagger. Duck, spin, shells scatter Rhymes with a bloody dagger. My thoughts grab ya Pacino calls all the shots. Got cover girls calling Dante Daddy, getting head in the Allanté Caddy Or stretch Lincoln. My mansion's worth millions From milking stocks and bonds like Mike Milken, never Go broke. My full street's paved with gold. Maintain A whole platinum soul, story is told. Pacino Keeps it low-pro', stolen Jag is dark-tinted Contact the spirit, live the life for a hot minute [Interlude 4: Dante Pacino and Bobbito Garcia] Dante Pacino: Nah'mean? Uh, uh, check it out like that. Killer Coalition Bobbito Garcia: Yeah.

I paid dues And I'ma have to stay true until my debut Whenever the time come. But, still, for now, I spit Lyrics for masses, teaching emcees classes, and time Passes quick as a quarterback, so I throw bombs at your Receivers. Fuck Uncle Toms and nonbelievers 'cause they ain't Making me or breaking me. I speak clearly Ain't no mistake me, man. Niggas ain't taking me, man Ayyo, check it when I wreck it. What you thought?
