Yeah, yo, yeah, uh
Lord forgive me, pour the Henny
Punish many, my word bond
Not James Bond, the money penny
Talk friendly or the Desi make confetti
In the cut like machete 'til I'm ready
QB baby, we rise to the occasion
Didn't know niggas is soon to be awakened
Out they sleep with the truth in they faces
Yellin', "Fuck the world," I'm out here makin' new races
Middle finger to a racist
Hear 'em out, tell a coward take t?n paces
Limestone ov?r the body, no traces
Just the basics, the other way, fake shit
Stay gripped, life my main bitch, protect that
Tell you what it is, just that you-ain't-gotta-guess rap
Everything a lesson, to a fool, it's a setback
Shorty love my style, guess where she keep her legs wrapped, nigga (Yeah)
Middle finger to our enemies
I'ma hold it down even if I catch a felony
Yeah, open season, open sesame
Anybody violate, gotta give 'em all the best of me
Doin' shit that I wouldn't ordinarily
I'm laid back 'til they came back with that jealousy
But this music is my therapy
Y'all niggas lucky 'cause I'll make you all memories
Writin' in my nocturnal journal to a dark beat
On a cold dark night, I came up with these
Four hundred words that best describe me
And my lifestyle, I'm not like you, I'm unique
In the twilight, I shine bright and get my mind right
I was born under the full moon
And I'll die starin' up at the cosmos
Laid out 'til my heart come to a stop and then my eyes close
I lived a full life, don't cry for me
A real-life king of New York, the top of the heap
I did songs with Mary J. Blige, my nigga
Mariah Carey, Big Pun, and Nas, my nigga
I did tours with Biggie Smalls, my nigga
Eminem, 50 Cent, I did it all, my nigga
The shows, the hotels, and the afterparties
When that sun goes down, yeah, the moon shine for me, cuz (Yeah)
Middle finger to our enemies
I'ma hold it down even if I catch a felony
Yeah, open season, open sesame
Anybody violate, gotta give 'em all the best of me
Doin' shit that I wouldn't ordinarily
I'm laid back 'til they came back with that jealousy
But this music is my therapy
Y'all niggas lucky 'cause I'll make you all memories
You could be bored to death or either die laughin'
Both while you still livin', hopeful in high fashion
Talk what I been through in life, what I encountered
It's sorta like blowin' a trumpet, makin' announcements
A sermon that's disturbin' to a serpent
A blessin' to anyone in attendance as soon as you hear the verbiage
I'm mister throw your frame in a stretcher if you deserve it
Reverse prophetic, I saw your truth hittin' in verses
Whatever come out of Satan mouth is a lie perverted
It's hell out here, so keep God close on purpose
Life is a small hill to a mountain climber
I'm a ten-time champion, real-life survivor
I've been on the ropes a few times
Probably been almost smoked a few times
But everything will evolve in due time (Due time)
I know that this ending is not the end
Just some new beginnings for P, we pour out some Hen', we miss you (Yeah)
Middle finger to our enemies
I'ma hold it down even if I catch a felony
Yeah, open season, open sesame
Anybody violate, gotta give 'em all the best of me
Doin' shit that I wouldn't ordinarily
I'm laid back 'til they came back with that jealousy
But this music is my therapy
Y'all niggas lucky 'cause I'll make you all memories
The lyrics POUR THE HENNY of MOBB DEEP is also present in the album Infinite (2025)
Mobb Deep è stato un duo hip hop statunitense formato dai rapper Havoc (Jason Irvine) e Prodigy (Albert Johnson). Attivi dal 1990 fino alla morte di Prodigy nel 2017, sono considerati pilastri della Golden Era dell'East Coast hip hop. Il loro stile musicale è caratterizzato da testi cuciti con realismo crudo sulla vita nelle strade di Queensbridge, New York, e produzioni dark e atmosferiche. Il loro album di debutto *Juvenile Hell* (1993) ha introdotto il mondo al loro sound distintivo. Tuttavia, è stato il secondo album, *The Infamous* (1995), a consacrarli come icone del genere. Con brani come «Shook Ones (Part II)» e «Survival of the Fittest», Mobb Deep hanno definito l'estetica sonora dell'East Coast hip hop degli anni '90. Dopo *The Infamous*, il duo ha continuato a pubblicare album di successo, tra cui *Hell on Earth* (1996) e *Murda Muzik* (2000). Prodigy ha anche intrapreso una carriera solista, pubblicando diversi album. La morte prematura di Prodigy nel 2017 ha segnato la fine di Mobb Deep, lasciando un vuoto nel panorama hip hop.
In the realm of rock 'n' roll, there are few names as iconic as Queen, and within the Queen pantheon, Brian May stands out not only as a legendary guitarist but also as an astrophysicist with a profound connection to NASA.

Do we want to define "I know you know me" a masterpiece? Yes, without a shadow of a doubt for at least two reasons. The first and most evident are the artists who interpret it: Caroline Spence and Matt Berninger, second for the deep and poetic text.
My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
It has been talked about for almost 3 years, rumored and it is hoped that sooner or later they will arrive at a collaboration, and now we are satisfied: the Catalan singer Rosalia and the American musician Oneohtrix finally announce the publication of a piece together!
