  35. Big L [Rest In Power]

    You’re just mad ’cause I’m a young cat, Pockets dumb fat,
    talkin’ bout where the gun at, I been there and done that
    I’m through with that illegal life I’m stayin’ legit
    I love to see cars come cruisin’ bye and playin’ my shit
    I walk around with six thou without the pistol
    My whole click’s wild, I’m rich Pal No more bricks
    I’m makin’ hits now, I drink Cristal
    I’m through breaking laws I don’t sell coke anymore
    I do tours! So get that flashlight out of my face
    To bring me down Jake do whatever it takes [Da Enemy]
