Ste-Lo - Recession lyrics

[Hook: Samples] “So now the pressure's on” - Sample from [?] “We're gonna have to work” - Sample from [?] “And, uh” - Sample from [?] “That would be the, uh” - Sample from [?] “Blah, blah, blah” - Sample from [?] “Before we move on and back to, like, the regular show here” - Sample from [?] “Oh, I'm suggesting perhaps” - Sample from [?] [Verse 1: L.I.F.E. Long] Let's start off with the proper intro. First L.I.F.E. Long heard through blocks like shots burst Repping the city of NY, claiming my turf Live from inside the belly, where survival hurts Feeling the stress and hunger pains (Nah'mean?) Surviving to keep peace of mind and maintain (Maintain) Roll with the punches thrown at my frame I'm bobbing and weaving, slap-boxing with time This world moves too fast. Rewind There's no way you're going back. Strictly forward Everything's mapped out for you to an*lyze, record Take heed in your position in this war It's either get got or get yours I want more, so I fight, retaliate, rebu*tal Struggle with the hustle and bustle, swinging knuckles Dodging trouble, creeping on shaky grounds soon to crumble [Hook: Samples] “It's like” - Sample from [?] “So now the pressure's on” - Sample from [?] “We're gonna have to work” - Sample from [?] “And, uh” - Sample from [?] “That would be the, uh” - Sample from [?] “Blah, blah, blah” - Sample from [?] “Before we move on and back to, like, the regular show here” - Sample from [?] “Oh, I'm suggesting perhaps we can” - Sample from [?] “Rise the f** up” - Sample from [?] “You know what that means now?” - Sample from [?] “Yeah” - Sample from [?] “But let me explain my point here” - Sample from [?] “I'll tell you why” - Sample from [?] “Why?” - Sample from [?] “It's real, n***a” - Sample from [?] “I'll tell you why” - Sample from [?] “Why?” - Sample from [?] “It's real, n***a” - Sample from [?] [Verse 2: L.I.F.E. Long] It's like a jungle out there—beware Snakes slithering sheisty, plus vultures in air Picking your pocket for all what it's worth Nine out of ten ain't clean, got dirt underneath fingernails That soon prevail. What's hidden behind the mask? New tales. The shocking truth wet, standing on third rails Living amongst populations of persons in poverty Dealing with it, picking up the pieces properly We all want a slice of the cheese pie Some even go all-out and get trapped Make a wrong move, watch your neck snap When you lose, 9-to-5ers sling crack Some burn chronic cess to kick back, max relax Sex in the city: one-night second sessions Long as you got game, honeys undressing (Come on. Bring that back) [Hook: Samples] “So they went down into the subway and took an uptown train. It was too late” - [?] “Before we move on and back to, like, the regular show here” - Sample from [?] “Oh, I'm suggesting perhaps we can” - Sample from [?] “Rise the f** up” - Sample from [?] “You know what that means now?” - Sample from [?] “Yeah” - Sample from [?] “But let me explain my point here” - Sample from [?] “I'll tell you why” - Sample from [?] “Why?” - Sample from [?] “It's real, n***a” - Sample from [?] “Absolutely right. And that's a good one” - Sample from [?] [Verse 3: L.I.F.E. Long] Don't push me. I'm close to the edge Myself like a million others balancing on a ledge Staying ahead of the game, never stagnating movements Constant building and stay focused, elevation for improvement Put my two cents in ‘cause everything counts (No doubt) Thoughts drop like deposits in Citibank accounts Watch the flows add up, increasing the clout No matter what profession, it's all about progression Increasing levels, utilizing the mind as a weapon In all circumstances, repping to the fullest potential Instrumentals, Ste-Lo tracks for these express thoughts driven well To sell enough units for pockets to swell Ring bells for chickens when they see me It's L-I-F-E living in full effect, Long Maintaining, freaking beats just to eat. Come on
