The Battlefield (feat. Kool G Rap & AZ & Tre Williams)

Hey Yo
 I'm back after nine years that's 36 Seasons
 Shit is changed up for all types of reason
 Staten Island ain't the same
 Shit is Lame
 No familiar faces son
 I'm dodging the game
 I want a clean slate
 But these cops stay screwin
 Snatching me up off the block what am I doin'
 Oh it's officer
 Dangle and his sidekick berry
 Driving me around the hood so I can worry
 See I fucked up there's crackheads in every corner
 Kids in the school yard smoking Marijuana
 I ain't feeling it
 This ain't the way I left these blocks
 And my name's faded out like some old damn socks
 I want respect
 These streets was my playground once
 I was the Mack across a hundred & tenth on these stunts
 Not once would a nigga test me
 Or gets zesty
 I would walk down the street and sneezed they all bless me
 Been on the Battle field
 For a long long time
 I can see life closing in
 (You niggas don't see it) on this old body of mine
 Yea Homie I'm the kingpin called future
 Make a killin'
 In these buildings in the millions got em feeling like Brewster
 Shit hot as Fallujah kids grown out of they cock ruggers
 Welcome back to the sewers with new whips maneuver
 No kids playing no safe for sound havens
 There tre pound cases on the playground pavement
 No more goons with 22's in their sneaker soles
 Kids throw shit that leave your body with a heap of holes
 I'm that neighborhood blizzard flooding these streets with snow
 Heavy Iron on the ready my shit will crease your clothes
 Keep a flock of Sweetest hoes
 Yea I sleep with those
 Little slum young Keisha Coles with cheaper clothes
 Undercovers all around the gutter they creepin low
 I stays ahead kid I toss bread like pizza dough
 I keep teff around my torso with the piece below
 That bulldog short nose
 We be at peace with those. Ya know
 Been on the battlefield
 For a long long time
 I can see life closing in
 On this old body of mine
 Mama bear was a church woman
 Pop's skated off
 I was an impaired an introverted youngin
 Allah changed my course from nowhere to my first onion
 Then them cops came across flashed the badge took my stash told my little ass to get lost
 Threw me off my grind was a prime time thing
 You can step on and stretch minds to a nine times ten
 I was gone
 Remember when though that that fine line thin
 So I studied that chess board and we were all blind men
 Dealers ran the streets, but the D's ran them
 I was a killer underneath but needed expansion
 Something to constitute being high in a coop
 The crys from my youth so I applied for the suit
 Salute the enforcer called me officer now
 Supporter of paraphernalia
 I toss it around to link to the cartel
 Courses is down it's that Denzel in training day shit
 Caution my grounds
 Been on the Battle field
 For a long long time
 I can see life closing in
 On this old body of mine
 Been on the battlefield
 For a long long time
 I can see life closing in
 On this old body of mine
