Look at me


Wavy
Never looking back
Yeah

Nothing that you sayin' makes sense to me (What?)
I can't comprehend, you not talking money (Uh-uh)
Real nigga shit only language I speak
Niggas be dumbstruck, they gon' die hungry
I'm crafty, real foxy
My reptilian brain'll have you curled up tryna stop bleeding
Good nigga, I'm chill like the icebox
Hood nigga, I'm sorry if you not
Relatin' to a soldier, how could you? (How?)
You a civilian, so how would you? (How?)
Understand the life of power and privilege (Uh)
You're not privy to this grown folk business (You not)
Little nigga, stay on your rung
And watch your fuck mouth, I'll cut out your tongue
It's crazy (Yeah), 'cause all we want is laughter and love (Uh)
And so we must keep the fuck?rs from around us (Beat it)

Keep them from around us, hit 'em with th? pounders
They do not astound us, nigga, it's about us
Built it from the ground up, stop frontin', crown us
Not the same without us, give my nigga flowers
Keep them from around us, hit 'em with the pounders
They do not astound us, nigga, it's about us
Built it from the ground up (No turning back), stop frontin', crown us
Not the same without us, give my nigga flowers
(Yo, what Hav say?)

Think you got a solid shot? Nigga, give it what you got
Get your pasta popped, I'll just let your karma rock
Heard she was a solid thot, had him calm and nuttin'
Y'all be trustin' these hoes, that's what got him knocked
If it's anything that I ever learned
If the roof is on fire, let that motherfucker burn
I ain't into holdin' hands, hand is on the straps
Shit can happen anywhere, with a lie, that's all facts
Lay 'em like a doormat, bitch, you know the format
Eyes on the door when I'm meeting, that's the norm, black
Let me have to launch that, shit get nasty
Get up outta there in a hooptie, nothin' fancy
Last of a rare breed, youngins, they admire me
Niggas wanna spite me, got 'em treading lightly
Nothin' don't surprise me, heard you got a bounty
On a nigga head, keep them niggas from around me

Keep them from around us, hit 'em with the pounders
They do not astound us, nigga, it's about us
Built it from the ground up, stop frontin', crown us
Not the same without us, give my nigga flowers
Keep them from around us, hit 'em with the pounders
They do not astound us, nigga, it's about us
Built it from the ground up, stop frontin', crown us
Not the same without us, give my nigga flowers

I'd rather rhyme with your spirit than these other niggas
Ten years from now, question is: who was them niggas?
Came in the game, arm in arm with my brother, nigga
All I see is murder, so it's really, "Fuck them other niggas"
East Coast drug dealer, every Cuban smother niggas
See they hate harder when they know the bitches love a nigga
All we make is coupe music, make you drop your top down
(Think these niggas ready, son, take 'em to the block now)
Always wanna meet the plug, tell them niggas, "Not now"
See you got a lot to say only when the cops 'round
Never left the trenches, project benches (Uh)
Bottega wishes, bodega senses (Yeah)
Any time we mentioned, all you hear is classics
Kilo, asterisks, doin' gymnastics (Uh-huh)
Cop it up and crash it (Yeah), all the guns is plastic
Lookin' at you has-beens, nothin' like you bastards

Keep them from around us, hit 'em with the pounders
They do not astound us, nigga, it's about us
Built it from the ground up, stop frontin', crown us
Not the same without us, give my nigga flowers
Keep them from around us, hit 'em with the pounders
They do not astound us, nigga, it's about us
Built it from the ground up, stop frontin', crown us
Not the same without us, give my nigga flowers

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Mobb Deep was an American hip hop duo formed by rappers Havoc (Jason Irvine) and Prodigy (Albert Johnson). Active from 1990 until Prodigy's death in 2017, they are considered pillars of the Golden Era of East Coast hip hop. Their musical style is characterized by raw, realistic lyrics about life in the streets of Queensbridge, New York, and dark, atmospheric productions. Their debut album *Juvenile Hell* (1993) introduced the world to their distinctive sound. However, it was their second album, *The Infamous* (1995), that cemented them as icons of the genre. With tracks like «Shook Ones (Part II)» and «Survival of the Fittest», Mobb Deep defined the sonic aesthetic of East Coast hip hop in the 1990s. After *The Infamous*, the duo continued to release successful albums, including *Hell on Earth* (1996) and *Murda Muzik* (2000). Prodigy also pursued a solo career, releasing several albums. Prodigy's untimely death in 2017 marked the end of Mobb Deep, leaving a void in the hip hop landscape.
