Lyrics

[Chorus: Donny Hathaway & Inspectah Deck] One of these days and it won't be long (It won't be long now) One of these days and it won't be long (You bound to come up) One of these days and it won't be long (Keep your eyes on us) One of these days and it won't be long (Yeah, yeah, Deck) [Verse 1: Inspectah Deck] I'm from the home where the buffalo roam And niggas don't give a flyin' fuck Talk with signs up, walk with the iron tucked Leave your eyes wide shut Money bag's on the table, gots to get my cut Rebel I city slicker, pick up a pretty sister Dig her out on the table, bent off the Rémy liquor Head splitter, deliver so cold I send shivers For many figures, battle the world or any nigga I'm uptown Saturday night like Bill Cos' Got weed in the jars with vanilla cigars On the strip, eyeballin' the chicks, all in the mix Gassed off of my shit, vibratin' the whip [Chorus: Donny Hathaway & Raekwon] One of these days and it won't be long (That's what you call it pa) One of these days and it won't be long (Chef) [Verse 2: Raekwon] Yo I'm sicker than the V12 X5 With cracks in the Rolly jumper all we do is drink, fuck and drive Real niggas raise up, Mommy get your feet off the table The cable look bare, my man got me one on his ankle It's nothin' for me to get up with you, Dutch with you Blow off them matches and sit up with you Ayo, the streets, what is gettin' more crazy? Stressin' me never, investin' the leathers, we all into things blazin' Slingin' coke is just a normal habit, rappers we wear Straddlers with cannons and hatchets gettin' cheers Yatzis are fresh off the block, block squeezin', it's real If we get real, pop-pop, poppin' at your blocks equal Take these niggas and throw 'em in lakes, it's business Rake these niggas on the mic, display your ninjas Nines crowns versus your nine towns Run up with nine 9's, brown down, get to lyin' you down [Chorus: Donny Hathaway, U-God & Raekwon] One of these days and it (Yo) won't be long (That's what you call it pa) One of these days and it won't be long (Yo, yo) [Verse 3: U-God] I come from the slums, I ain't no dummy My testament talk, represent money This Verbal Intercourse, fueled by exhaust The bread winner, head spinner, coldest with the force No remorse, endorse the rap artist So flamboyant cos I pimp slap the hardest Ever since the Triumph we've been missin' them soldiers We came tonight, boy the mission is cobra, full exposure Bulldoze through the rubbish, I'm in too deep, boy I just gotta love this, they call me too sweet One of the nine brothers, I'm so unique Every line that smother, the situation's grim It's a bloody sin cos every time I want out they pull me back in I see my reflection in the chrome MAC-10 Ask the passer who's faster with the pen That bullet, nine hollows, amorettos That's how I like it, sweat on my wine bottles The automobiles with them shiny assed hubs The endo pull, with the bathtub club, my angel's in the mud Veteran smile, that's gangsta shit, that American style Dig it, prick my prey off I'm quick to slay with the rapid-fire shit, caught by the ricochet, nigga [Chorus: Donny Hathaway & Raekwon] I got to know One of these days and it won't be long (That's what you call it pa) One of these days and it won't be long One of these days and it won't be long (That's what you call it pa) One of these days and it won't be long I got to know One of these days and it won't be long (That's what you call it pa) One of these days and it won't be long I got to know One of these days and it won't be long (That's what you call it pa) One of these days and it won't be long I got to know [Outro: Donny Hathaway] One of these days and it won't be long
