Take It In Blood Lyrics

    "I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that" [repeat 2X]
    [--> Kool Keith from the Ultramagnetic MC's 'Ease Back']

    [Nas]
    Yo; I never brag, how real I keep it, cause it's the best secret
    I rock a vest, prestigious, Cuban link flooded Jesus
    in a Lex watchin Kathie Lee and Regis
    My actions are one with the seasons
    A tec squeezin - executioner, winter time I rock a fur
    Mega popular, center of attraction
    Climaxin, my bitches they be laughin
    They high from sniffin coke off a twenty-cent Andrew Jackson
    City lights spark a New York night
    Rossi and Martini sippin, Sergio Tachinni flippin mad pies
    low price, I blow dice and throw em
    Forty-five by my scrotum, manifest the "Do or Die" slogan
    My niggaz roll in ten M3's
    Twenty Gods poppin wheelies on Kawasaki's
    Hip-Hop's got me on some ol', sprayin shots like a drumroll
    Blankin out and never miscount the shells my gun hold
    I don't stunt, I regulate
    Henny and Sprite, I seperate, watchin crab niggaz marinate
    I'm all about tecs and good jooks and sex
    Israelite books, holdin government names from Ness
    MC's are crawlin out, every hole in the slum
    You be aight like blood money in a pimp's cum

    "I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that"
    "I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that..
    .. for, you wack MC's"

    [Nas]
    Currency is made in trust of the Messiah
    I'm spending it to get higher
    Earth, Wind, and Fire singing reasons why I'm
    up early, trustworthy is a nine that bust early
    Sunshine on my grill, I spill
    Remi on imaginary graves, put my hat on my waves
    Latter Day Saints say religious praise
    I dolo, challenge any team or solo
    You must be buggin out, new to my shit, home on a furlough
    Ask around, who's laid up, sharp and straight up
    Mafioso, gettin niggaz wigs sprayed up
    Skies are misty, my life's predicted by a gypsy
    I'll one day walk into shots drunk off champange from Sicily
    This be the drama, I'ma pause like a comma
    in a sentence, paragraph's indented
    Bloodshot red eyes, high, yellow envelopes of lye
    Openin cigars, let tobacco fly
    Condos are tuneproof, we're looking out the sky's moonroof
    Shittin like gin and prune juice
    Yo the system wants the coon's noose, hang em high
    Courtrooms filled up, it's off the hook while I
    just wrote a statement, like I'm facing twenty years
    in the basement - chilling on the via with Mumia
    for wearin chrome - I told the judge snakes slither
    like Sharon Stone, but like Capone I'm thrown (yo)

    "I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that"
    "I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that..
    .. for, you wack MC's"
    "I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that"
    "I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that..
    .. for, you wack MC's"

    [Nas]
    Lyrical, ly-lyrical mission..
    Lyrical..
    Yo the time is wastin, I use the mind elevation
    Dime sack lacin, court pen pacin
    Individual, lyrical math abrasion
    Psychic evaluation, the foulest nation
    We livin in, dangerous lives, mad leak and battered wives
    A lifestyle where bad streets is patternized
    Wise men build and destroy
    While the real McCoy dopefiend, named Detroit is still dealin boy
    Coke suppliers actin biased
    Cause rumors say that niggaz wear wires and we liars
    But every night the gat's fired, and every day a rat's hired
    I still remain the mack flyest in the phat Kani, it's --
    -- just the killer in me, slash drug dealer MC
    Ex-slug filler, semi mug peeler
    Demi, bottles of Mo', yo simply follow me flow
    Put poetry inside a crack pot and blow
    rough holes for cracked out pussies and buttholes
    Bring the G's and the D's roll, they can't touch those
    Why shoot the breeze about it, when you could be about it?
    My degrees are routed, toward the peasy haired brick houses
    instead of the fake medallions
    Rich niggaz transport in thousands
    Foreign cash exchange amountin to millions
    Doors is locked, rocks is chopped, watch the cameras in the ceilings
    Trick bitches catching mad feelings
    Peelin off in the Lex Jeep, techniques is four-wheelin
    I bet it be some shit when we connect with Stretch
    When we catch them sex niggaz with the tecs you blessed, word
    So now it's on, never wasted a slug,
    Time is money when it comes to mine, take it in blood

    "I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that"
    "I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin like that..
    .. for, you wack MC's" [repeat in background to fade]

    Yeah, Capone-N-Noreaga
    Yeah, yo, offical Queensbridge murderers
    Mobb Deep keep it real though
    Motherfuckin AZ yo
    'Mega, 'Mega, whatever
    Scarlett O'Hara
    Yo, Fox Boogie
    East New York
    Gambo, Brownsville
    Wizard, Fort Rockaway
    Big Jersey
    Connecticut, D.C., Sudan
    V.A. ?? N.C., L.A.
    So on and so on...
    Big Ha, Houston Fifth Ward
    Black Ed, keep it real Moe..
