Of untamedness, approachin famous, for miscellaneous

I know you wonder what kind of way is that to think:
Put all the wackest rappers on a boat and let it sink
Dont blink; next thing you see you spot is taken
No jax Im fakin soldiers took the whole reservation
On a scale of one to ten, we move rather swiftly
Want a dimepiece but well settle for an eight-fifty
Dont blow mine, your trump card is exposed to pages
Now your beginnings already at the final stages
Pumpin like 12 gauges from a shotgun blast
I never saw people run so fast, aight?
Stay up all night, then sleep all day
Makin big lucci and would have it no other way
In conjunction, with the function, as stated
Orchestrated by the soul brother nickel plated
Tell the judge you were foolish, and try to be lenient
Cause you never had the the main ingredient
[pete rock]
The main ingredient (7x)
Hit the third verse off kid

This cap is peeled layin joints like a minefield
When dynamites my rhythm this is east coast terrorism
The vernon-villes mecca don, formin voltron tactics
Let off three verses and the crowd panics
Get em all, the kingpin of the players ball
Now every tramp in your camps going awol
My lucci situation is a daily operation
On the strip, I refine you like tales from the crypt
Right heres the real shit, and all that others counterfeit
Funk to let you know exactly what youre dealin with
P-r slash, c-l smash, love to spend cash
For proper livin, slidin up in wealthy women
Stick your hand in my pants, and grab the mics no crime
Cause like sisters with voices, its about time
For you to respect my whole foundation precisely
Be obedient, to the main ingredient
