Chorus
Can it be that it was all so simple then? (x4)
Verse 1: Raekwon The Chef Started off on the island,
A/K/A Shaolin
Niggas wailin'
Gun shots (????)
Back in the days of eight now,
Makin' a tape now
Rae gotta get a plate now
Ignorant and mad young
Wanted to be the one
'Till I got (BAM! BAM!) thrown one
My pops was a fiends at sixteen
Shootin' that (pass that shit!) in his blood stream
That's the life of a crimey
Real live crimey
If niggas know the half is behind me
Day one, yo
Rollin' all up in the ghetto
Now I'm a weed fiend
Jettin' the Palmeto
In Medina
No doubt the god got crazy clout,
Pushin' the big joint from down south
So if ya filthy's stacked up,
Betta watch ya back and duck
'Cause these fiends they got it cracked up
Now my man from up north
Now he got the law,
It's solid as a rock and crazy salt
No jokes, I'm not playin'
Get his folks
Desert Eagle his dick and put 'em in a yolk (AAH!)
And to know for sure
I got reck and rip shot
I pointed a gat at his mother's knot
(Yo, Rae, don't do that shit, man! Don't do that shit! gun shots>)
Fuck that
Chorus Raekwon Dedicated to the winners and the losers
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
Ghost Face Killer Dedicated to all jeeps and land cruisers
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
Raekwon Dedicated to the (?vibes, 8-50 eyes?
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
Ghost Face Killer Dedicated to niggas who do drive-bys
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
Raekwon Dedicated to the Lexus and the (????)
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
Ghost Face Killer Dedicated to MPV's phat!

Verse 2: Ghost Face Killer Kickin' the fly cliches
Doin' duets with Rae and ?A?
Happens to make my day
Tho' I'm tired of bustin' off shots havin' a rock notch
Runnin' up in spots and makin' shit hot
I'd rather flip shows instead of those
Hangin' on my living room wall
My first joint, and it went gold
I want a lamp (????)
Plus a spot light
Gettin' my dick rubbed all night
I wanna have me a phat yacht
And 'enuff land to go and plant my own cess crops
But for now,
Just a big dream
'Cause I find myself in the place where I'm last seen
My thoughts must be relaxed
Be able to maintain,
'Cause times is changed and life is strange
The glorious days is gone,
And everybody's doin' bad
Yo, mad lives is up for grabs
Brothers, passin' away,
I gotta make ?wakes?
Leavin' all types of cars from up-state
Yo, I can't cope with the pressure
Settlin' for lesser
The god left lessons on my dresser
So I can bloom and blossom
Find a new way
Continue to make hits with Rae and ?A?
Sunshine plays a major part in the daytime
Raekwon Peace to man, kind Ghost Face carry a black nine, nigga
Word up
It's on like that
