Wheel of Fortune, spin, around

Kill the Margarita, heres a 50, get some more cheeba
~#**************#~
The ghetto trooper, so spark up the Bu-Buddha

~#**************#~
To be the man, you gotta beat the man
~#**************#~
It aint nothin startin over here but nothin mark my Timberlands
~#**************#~
You want static? Lets have it
~#**************#~
Niggas who flow like the Atlantic will sink like the Titanic

Since birth, I was thinkin too fast
~#**************#~
My first beef was with the doctor when he smacked me on my ass

Three for Alize, niggas deceased or behind bars
~#**************#~
I rap divine, God, check the prognosis: is it real or showbiz?
~#**************#~
My window faces shootouts, drug overdoses
~#**************#~
Live amongst no roses, only the drama, for real
~#**************#~
A nickel-plate is my fate, my medicine is the ganja
~#**************#~
Heres my basis: my razor embraces many faces
~#**************#~
Your telephone blown, black, stitches or fat shoelaces
~#**************#~
Peoples are petro, dramatic, automatic .44 I let blow
~#**************#~
And back down po-po when Im vexed, so
~#**************#~
My pen taps the paper then my brains blank
~#**************#~
I see dark streets, hustlin brothers who keep the same rank
~#**************#~
Pumpin for somethin, somell prosper, some fail
~#**************#~
Judges hangin niggas, uncorrect bails for direct sales
~#**************#~
My intellect prevails from a hangin cross with nails
~#**************#~
I reinforce the frail with lyrics thats real
~#**************#~
Word to Christ, a disciple of streets, trifle on beats
~#**************#~
But, chill! Bless the microphone and say peace
~#**************#~
So, Sudan, take the microphone in your hand

[Verse 4: Sudan]
~#**************#~
Queensbridge, when will the drama ever cease?
~#**************#~
Id like to say peace, Willie, and rest in peace
~#**************#~
A cool brother whos all about justice
~#**************#~
I still cant understand how he left us
~#**************#~
Well… hes gone and life goes on, you know
~#**************#~
We had a crew, but one by one we go
~#**************#~
Memories of his face that was full of joy
~#**************#~
Rock-a, Rock-a bye, Rock-a bye homeboy
~#**************#~
Reminiscin with the brothers standin on the block
~#**************#~
Never talked a lot, never was a big shot
~#**************#~
Its so hard to say goodbye, a sad song
~#**************#~
And damn, I cant believe my mans gone
~#**************#~
Diggin back in the days when we used to laugh
~#**************#~
Now its a memory thats haunted from the past
~#**************#~
Poor Willy, its a shame how the ghetto got him
~#**************#~
And word is bond – I wanna cry when I think about him
~#**************#~
Three bullets to his back on his own block
~#**************#~
Not a way to go, killed by the buckshot
~#**************#~
Queensbridge, wake and up and smell the air
~#**************#~
And stop killin like a villain, like you dont care
~#**************#~
Remember Willie and the times we had with joy?
~#**************#~
Rock-a, Rock-a bye, Rock-a bye Homeboy
~#**************#~
Rock-a, Rock-a bye, Rock-a bye Homeboy
~#**************#~
Quensbridge style!
~#**************#~
Rock-a, Rock-a bye
~#**************#~
[Verse 5: Jungle]
~#**************#~
My skills are ill like the prez with a plan
~#**************#~
My brothers run from Sudan then the Ku-Klux-Klan
~#**************#~
Like a kamikaze, Saddam Hussein then won
~#**************#~
Feel the buns of a nun, put tricks for funds and chill (Wooo-ooooh)
~#**************#~
I spill a verse so you can understand
~#**************#~
I kill rappers off quicker than a motherfuckin Mic Man
~#**************#~
And when it comes to a battle, I stand out tall
~#**************#~
Like the man who played the man on The White Shadow
~#**************#~
One two, one two
~#**************#~
[Nas]
~#**************#~
What you gonna do when the flavours comin after you?
~#**************#~
Grand Wizard, take my side
~#**************#~
Grab the microphone and Imma rock it up like…
~#**************#~
[Verse 6: Nas]
~#**************#~
To my man Jungle, dwellin in the jungle
~#**************#~
Where must we go? Where must we wander?
~#**************#~
Deep out the skies come the MC Nas
~#**************#~
Not to surprise, but to civilize
~#**************#~
All the dumb men wanderin around the streets
~#**************#~
Listenin to a nigga rappin on fly beats
~#**************#~
I just kick the mad Phillie style
~#**************#~
Get buckwild cause you know my style
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
‘Cause the weed got me buggin, plus the Guinness Stout
~#**************#~
Grand Wizard, yo, you my physical

Why dont you mic the make, make the microphone miserable?
~#**************#~
[Verse 7: Grand Wizard]

~#**************#~

~#**************#~
Cant spell it cause I say it too clear
~#**************#~
The alphabets are not enough words or letters to use
~#**************#~
When it comes to mics, I bruise
~#**************#~
I just go with the magical mystic flow
~#**************#~
Niggas dont know, thats word to the man Bo
