Eye for a Eye (Your Beef Is Mines) [feat. Nas & Raekwon The Chef]

As time goes by, an eye for an eye

We in this together, son, your beef is mine

So long as the sun shines to light up the sky

We in this together, son, your beef is mine

As time goes by, an eye for an eye

We in this together, son, your beef is mine

So long as the sun shines to light up the sky

We in this together, son, your beef is mines

Let me start from the beginnin' at the top of the list

Know what I mean? Have a situation like this

Another war story from a thirsty young hustler

Won't trust ya, I'd rather bust ya and leave your corpse

For the cops to discover, while I be dippin' in the Range Rover

All jeweled like Liberace, you watch me

While Jake's tryna knock me and lock me

But I'll be on the low sippin' Asti Spumante

**** tried to creep on the side of my Jeep

Stuck the heat through the window, rocked they ass to sleep

Over a 3-pack, it was a small thing really, yeah

But keep lettin' them small things slide'll be ya failure

If I'm outta town one of my crew will take care of ya

The world is ours and your team's inferior

You wanna bust caps, I'll get all up in your area

Kidnap your children, make the situation scarier

Life is a gamble, we scramble for money

I might crack a smile, but ain't a damn thing funny

I'm caught up in the dirt where your hands get muddy

Plus the outcome turns out to be lovely

Got G's in my pocket, hit off my main squeeze

Push back the sunroof let the cold air breeze

Through the butter soft leather upholstery, but mostly

Keep the gat close, B, 'cause **** wanna toast me

Aye yo, I gotta get mines, no matter what the consequences

Count all my blessings, add up my weapons

Cock back the gat and let my nine serve purpose

Sling, do my thing, organize fiend service

Tryna to make a mil' it's stress you know the deal

So we sling thrills, get ya cap peeled, 'cause everything is real

'Cause I wanna chill, laid up in a jacuzzi

Sippin' bubbly with my fingers on the Uzi

Try to infiltrate my fort, get caught

Dead up in New York, my brain is packed with criminal thoughts

Get your life lost, never found again my friend

Mission completed, watch you drop in less than ten

On my road to the riches, hittin' snitches off with mad stitches

Your last restin' place'll be a ditch, kid

No one can stop me, try ya style's sloppy

You wanna be me, you just an imitation copy

My theme is all about makin' the green

Livin' up in luxury, pushin' fat whips and livin' comfortably

As time goes by, an eye for an eye

We in this together, son, your beef is mine

So long as the sun shine can light up the sky

We in this together, son, your beef is mine

A drug dealer's dream, stash cream, keys on a triple beam

Five hundred SL green, ninety-five, nickel gleam

Condominium, thug dressed like a gentlemen

Tailor made ostrich, Chanel for my women friend

Murderin' numbers on your head while I'm burglarin'

Shank is servin' 'em, whats up to all my **** swervin' in

New York metropolis, the bridge brings apocalypse

Shoot at the clouds, feels like the holy beast is watchin' us

Mad man, my sanity is goin' like an hourglass

Gun inside my bad hand, I sliced tryin' to bag grams

I got hoes that used to milk you, **** who could've killed you

Is down with my ill crew of psychos, Nas Escobar movin' on your weak production

Pumpin' corruption in the third world we just bustin'

Hold up and analyze the wildcats slang cracks

They swing an axe, the new routines, be my eyes blacks

Playin' corners glancin' all up in ya cornea

Corner ya, seen cats snatch monies up on ya

But late night, candlelight, fiend with a crack pipe

It's only right, feelin' higher than an airplane right

Word yo, I want to get this money then blow

Take my time, blast a nine, if you front, you go

Sip beers, the German ones, hand my guns to sons

Shaolin and Queensbridge, we robbin' **** for fun

But still, write my will out to my seeds then build

Mahalia sing a tale, but the real we still kill, what?

As time goes by, an eye for an eye

We in this together, son, your beef is mine

So long as the sun shine will light up the skies

We in this together, son, your beef is mine

As time goes by, an eye for an eye

We in this together, son, your beef is mine

So long as the sun shine can light up the skies

We in this together, son, your beef is mine

Laid back, word up

Just bless 'em with the bulletproof, Mobb Deep

Nas, Chef creation

For your nation, yeah
