Raekwon - The Lex Diamond Intro lyrics

Dirty as you go there was a gangster born He controlled the island with over 4000 soldiers He ran over 30 projects Whatever you needed in the hood, you had to go through him He had his hand in everything Racketeering, money laundering, gambling, prostitution It was all his for the taking He had over 400 cops on the payroll He organized a powerful elite with a cold heart and a hot hand And those who were perpetrators were dealt in a torturous way The neighborhood loved and feared him He had a good heart and a fresh soul His name is Lex Diamond and this is his story ? with the execution of my children From that witness forward, everybody in that courtroom knew Uh, and agreed, that the mafia existed The mafia operated in the United States and Sicily It had various rules and it didn't ? in this business And that many of the people in that room were members of the mafia
