[Tash] Uh, expensive things, diamond rings and things You know, rap life, rap life, say what? Ah, uh [Verse 1: Tash] Rap niggas, we different individuals Some of us be frontin', some of us is really criminals Swimmin' in the women and money we never had, it's sad Rap could turn a good nigga bad But not CaTash though, I gaffle respect with no hassle I'm still the same nigga – lightskinneded, curly afro Whats up though? I'm still the same nigga, a super-freak I blow a G a week, catch me burnin' rubber up the street Rap niggas – always smokin' indo So everytime we puff, it's twenty dollars out the window But what is friends fo'? We gonna blow that dough regardless My niggas live the life and they ain't even rap artists Rap money, we get that shit and blow it We trick thirty G's and ain't got shit to show for it Let me get that case of Moët, let me get that CLK Let me get that ounce of bomb from my man from East L.A.  Let me get that [Chorus: Raekwon] Rap niggas get money, press up and get hundreds Be like all them niggas on it Which side rock the most, it don't matter 'cause it get notes Meet you on the left side of the boat Coast, drivin' it most, we like "Where them niggas go?" We like "Everywhere, party where the fans go" It's all rap hype, young black niggas that's mad hype Got ya station in a smash, right [Verse 2: Tash] My Likwit niggas made a killin' We dropped three albums and got the whole world dancin on the ceilin' So I'm feelin' like the villian that cracked that safe's combo My nigga had some hoes, I told him shoot 'em through my condo He shot 'em through, they peeped my CD through They startin' askin questions, but fuck the interview What y'all really wanna do? They said, "Pop the Cris'" I said "You like rap? Well, wrap ya mouth around this!" Rap niggas – young niggas ballin' We on the motorcyles doin ninety down my hall, and With the gold chain swingin', fallin' to the street This rap life got us buyin' shit we don't need We don't need the jet skis but let's buy 'em, just to try 'em We splashin' out the Lex and got all the ladies eyein' Us now, and we don't fuck around with no wife 'Cause all my niggas is livin' the rap life [Chorus: Raekwon] Rap niggas get money, press up and get hundreds Be like all them niggas on it Which side rock the most, it don't matter 'cause it get notes Meet you on the left side of the boat Coast, drivin' it most, we like "Where them niggas go?" We like "Everywhere, party where the fans go" It's all rap hype, young black niggas that's mad hype Got ya station in a smash, right [Verse 3: Raekwon] First of all, before we move on Shit is like a Yukon, son, slide shit on like Grey Poupon Mergin' in the suburbs, gettin' raw with greenery herb Real ill niggas smack birds, fat words Show and prove how my gat work – go, shoot, kill Smack a blackbird, jettin' in an Ac' hearse Big Jim stay grinnin' in a six, spinnin' it, kid Nigga who flex, Lex threw ten in him Stand posin', blowin shit, coast from East and West We rockin our vest, cannon might roast you High powered hydrolic Eddie Bauer Rottweiler Who wilder? Slang bit niggas on the collar Amp might blow, I might land, set up shop and glow Shinin' like a lamp post, my camp post Cream leather, green leaves forever, goin' to do whatever Corns and crab niggas, they roll together What up, Tash? Black hash, we invented the spaz High like sixteen niggas over ten bags Real niggas gon' ride, fake niggas gon slid-ide Check the next issue, faggot, in the Vid-ibe [Verse 4: Tash] Rap drama, the drama never calms I be on the celly phone, trippin' off my baby moms Tryna make her understand I get paid to rhyme I don't show up at your job, so don't show up at mine! 'Cause there's no biz like showbiz if y'all niggas ask me Show money, that's like pimpin', 'cause we get it tax-free Catch a check for 33, cut straight from SRC Take it straight to any counter, cash my shit with no I.D.  Rap women – they always be around us 'Cause we from out of town and they be lovin' out-of -owners Wash up in motherfuckas like a T.V. evangelist 'Cause they from where they from and we straight from Los Angeles Rap money [Interlude: Tash, (Raekwon)] (Yo, what up?) Whats up, nigga? (What's goin on?) Hey, whats up Rae? Let's go half on a football team, nigga, hehe (Yo, I was thinkin about buyin' two basketball teams) Whats up? What we gonna do? Hey, hehe (Matter fact, we can do that. Lets do that) [Chorus: Raekwon] Rap niggas get money, press up and get hundreds Be like all them niggas on it Which side rock the most, it don't matter 'cause it get notes Meet you on the left side of the boat Coast, drivin' it most, we like "Where them niggas go?"
