Big L - Size 'Em Up lyrics

Hey yo, the streets love me, man
And I love the streets
So I know ya ain't think I
Was comin' with some fruitcake shit
Y'all know me better than that

Ayo, I shoulda been out
I'm deadly when I pull the pen out
Keep frontin', I'ma try yo' chin out
I knocked a lot of men out
I left 'em on the floor spittin' phlegm out
It's either that or I'ma squeeze the
Gat and pop ten out
You see Corleone, ice spinnin', jigged out
White linen and if a bitch don't like
Me she must like women
Every time I come around you
See your wife grinnin'
Don't be mad 'cause yo' career's
In the ninth innin'
It's over now, nigga, leave the game
I'm from the Danger Zone
Where emcees get slain
Where thugs'll never hesitate to
Squeeze the flame
Where niggas be takin' drugs just
To ease the pain
Hustlers flip cokey, 48 Hours like Nick Nolte
When I was OT, yo bitch wrote me
First day home I dived in it
Left her thighs dented
Now that bitch be pagin'
Me every five minutes
Emcees I squash and disgrace
It's all about the Benjis
So why your bills got Washington's face?
A lot of cats be frontin'
Mad singles wit' a fifty on top
L tryin' to have the city on lock
Peace to Biggie and Pac 'cause
They really were hot
Rap game, heavy hitters
It's a shame they no longer with us
Niggas wanna be L, ladies wanna see L
If I go to jail you'll wear
A shirt sayin' "Free L!"
What?! Word up man, them niggas is hungry
They ready to bite a nigga arm off

All my wolves in the house
Are you live or what?
See, Harlem 'bout to get it, all eyes on us
Only ghetto niggas shine
Who gon' rise wit' us?
And the first cat who act
We gon' size 'em up
All my wolves in the house
Are you live or what?
See, Harlem 'bout to get it, all eyes on us
Only ghetto niggas shine
Who gon' rise wit' us?
And the first cat who act
We gon' size 'em up

Aiyo, I hear a lot of bitch in your talk
See a lot of switch in your walk
Only thugs get rich in New York
Time is runnin' out, niggas like, "L
When you comin' out?"
Because they sick of all this drag queen shit
Your wife's missin'
I'm the nigga she was last seen wit'
Me and Ron hit it up on some tag team shit
A bunch of niggas got smoked for the cash
Used to ride Greyhounds wit' dime hoes who
Stuff the coke in their ass
Crazy beef's got provoked in the past
Lot of wigs got split
A lot of innocent kids got hit
Harlem World be the place of my birth
Believe me son
We breed the smoothest niggas on
The face of the Earth
Mics I steadily smoke, rhymes cleverly wrote
As long as I can rock a
Crowd I'ma never be broke
Some hoes treated me like a bum
Nerd when I was unheard
Now I'm icey, I ain't gotta say one word
You dumb bird
I push whips while you walk all day
And I hate when strange niggas
Wanna talk all day
Clown ass shit, hate to be around that shit
You don't know me, just say what's
Up, give me a pound, that's it
When I was at the steak house
Pullin' cake out
You was at some cheap Chinese
Shit gettin' take out
How you make out, you took the fake route
You oughta break out
You couldn't get a bitch before
You put your tape out
What?! yeah, fuckin' punks
Niggas like you will get robbed everyday

All my wolves in the house
Are you live or what?
See, Harlem 'bout to get it, all eyes on us
Only ghetto niggas shine
Who gon' rise wit' us?
And the first cat who act
We gon' size 'em up
All my wolves in the house
Are you live or what?
See, Harlem 'bout to get it, all eyes on us
Only ghetto niggas shine
Who gon' rise wit' us?
And the first cat who act
We gon' size 'em up

Geah
Flamboyant Entertainment, Big L, Rondell
C Town, NFL, you know how we do one time
Can't forget my partner
Big brother, Big Lee, holdin' it down
The overseer flamboyant
