[Jean Plum]
"... whether I, win or looooose"
[variations of this sample repeat throughout the song]
[Havoc]
Another day another dollar it's about gettin money
Then you can give me a holla, my nose runny
I've been out in the cold, hustlin for so long
my hands numb, but bet I feel that paper in my palm
[Prodigy]
It's like ahh shit it's on, time to go shoppin
For cars not fashion, my whips be the bomb
My clothes, be the same shit that we had on
And fuck lookin cute, save that for the broad
[Havoc]
It's the H-A-V-O, C-dump-and-reload
Knock knock, answer that, I'm blastin through the peephole
Body charges, pay lawyers so we beat those
But get locked and I'm sluttin lady C.O.'s
[Prodigy]
And we the only niggaz you know, that fuck they P.O.'s
They push our files to the top, you still on parole
We got, money to roll, no time for penitentiaries
Too much dollars to fold, it's bulgin out our jeans
[Chorus]
"Here I go again, whether I, win or looooose"
[H] But losin ain't a option girl
My destination is top of the world, top of the world
"Here I go again, here I come, win or looooose"
[H] But losin ain't a option girl
My destination is top of the world, top of the world
[Havoc]
Y'all like bitches - the chit-chatterin
Stay not likin a nigga but givin dap to him
Hav' don't change for no chick, and they adapt to him
Never get cool with you niggaz, I end up clappin 'em
[Prodigy]
Aiyyo - federal note fetish, you fuck with my niggaz
Franklin and Grant, get yo' ass blammed with the quickness
Y'all niggaz is finished
You overdosin the world with that cute shit
It's time for this realness
[Havoc]
And here I go again, lettin the mac blow
Slugs bubble up in your stomach like lactose
I'ma date shorty, put it up in her backbone
For real, put it on her like {?} wrapped dome, f'real
[Prodigy]
Know what? We outlive labels, and distributors
We run laps around e'ry artist on your payroll
Then hop up in a Range Rov', jet black
with the black rims, killin yo' bitch in her a-hole; uh-oh!
[Chorus]
[samples continue to fade]
The lyrics WIN OR LOSE of MOBB DEEP is also present in the album Amerikaz nightmare (2004)
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.

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
