Through the agony pain diplomatic we reign
Jim Jones
A yo my DIPSET Taliban
We on these streets like the wars on the streets in Afghanistan better yet of Pakistan
To America, Harlem's Al Qada any problem I'll spray ya not the star or the mayor
But in this 50 block radius, lets get the rock and shave this sh** or get the glock and blaze this sh**

(Fu****s. Let's get it right, sh**)
Here's some of the sh** my city wasn't built up over
Drugs, money, some sh** you'll get killed up over
Slumped on ya wheel straight tilted over

Yap up ya shine, clock shot that'll crack up ya mind
Cops rocks and cook that crack up to dimes

We built this city on rock and roll (Santana the Great)
Juelz Santana
Now once again it's Santana the Great
I built this city of hammers and weight
Gasoline rope, bandanas and tape
Lots of fiends, lots of coke being handed away
You know the usual
Shut em' down, set up shop, how we usually do
Cut em' down, dead the block, man we movin' through
Diplomats is the strongest force
On and off the court we ball its more than sport
(Muthaf****. It's Santana n**** come on)
We built this city from ground zero the spittin' the pound zero
Brown pistol at cha get down kiko

Vultures that'll scope and feed you, no corpse, just leave you

Hell Rell

My enemies can't rest in piece Jones we shoot they funerals up
New gangsta's in the city b**** ring the alarm
All you hoes bow down kiss the ring of a don
It's about to get real big playa, humunguos
Stack money so long, till it grew fungus
We was gon' let you live unitl you through punches
Now it's got to get critical and we got to get rid of you
And we the most talked about, the most popular
We live by the code we the DIPSET Mafia
You never know who's watchin' ya
You never know who's plottin' to pop at cha
We focus like a pair of binoculars
Im bout to get gritty.
M5, CLK garage look like alphabet city
And I'm a hustla, I put cracks in communities,

Now drop em', guaranteed a million shipped and scanned
If not back to the block, shifts and grams
