[Ladybug]

I live Brooklyn like year 24 for sure

Saw C-know in my tennis skirt(?)

And the kick hurts so good that I gotta sorta accents for this

Now here's a nation for my

Nation cuz I place you on the dynomite

Right? The creamin' to schemin' to get it

Right demeans almighty dolla

The green power, let loose for the hour

I chose the Black Power, extra fly joint for mocha to yellow paper

And you know I don't delay

Together with my honey like silk to sew

We grow and take you back to like afros

And no quittin or gettin jumped by the system

Its all day, all play got verbs and such

And cuts and crew, no blue eyes

To emulate, some straight but yea we straight up



Funkay

Ease back, the g's back as an o.d. gettin

Funkay

The sun sets, you vex, we gets, mad

Funkay

East coast to west we stays fresh

Ezay

Smoke rise from the borrough where that black cool blow(?)



[C-know]

The globe spins, jims is drop

No fakin, no bakin three bridges fo money makin

Crooklyn, the ep swinger's lounge-out spot

Roll when I pass lake up drop my saz

Grab my mic-ro, you know how we do in the joint

Do a borrough check to see exactly who in the joint

Hot spots, city streets lot spots and jeeps

As a flow-er I'm Nile, rivers of style

(fresh kid)

Yea, stories complete

(fresh kid)

Rollin on them New York streets

With them no-poor beats at the parliment

7s up C-know steelo no equal, but the sun and thats

Funkay



Ease back, the g's is back as an o-d gettin

Funkay

The sun sets, you vex, we gets, mad

Funkay

Smoke rise from the borrogh where that black cool blow



[Butterfly]

Its that naykle slick near keep it deep from my heads

Let a fed up, appearin in my camulflage

My hustler walk's in New York

Su fronts say Gucci we make lucci, and never hesitaste the setting

Slap hands with my hands from the lands of Crook

Bein lovely over jams that's on the flams w/hook

Bear muffs, wear cush, its Flatbush

Hear the mental's instramental cuz it's ash to dust

I like to hit live deep, keep fam tight tight

Keep the vocal strictly any joint, it's right

Let me fly

Ease back, the g's back w/the r

Sun is in, the clouds on loud

I got raised by the blue street lights of four cities

My heros died in prison: George Jackson

Action, she's Buttaflyin, I'm cool eyein

And I rock snow low unless a scrambler got

Me and my honey, we be like Bobby and Erica

Me and my monies, we'll hurt you boulevard and..(?)

One love, gun love come free the land w/us

Pigs they cannot shoot this plush and creamy lavishnuss

Before I pop I'd rather die in baggy Guess and Timbs

And I put that on the BKLYN and thats

Funkay



Ease back the g's back as an o.d. gettin

Funkay

The sun sets, you vex, we gets mad

Funkay

East coast to west we stays fresh and we do it on the
