Lloyd Banks Lyrics
“Opened Gates”
Uh
Shady shit’s what I’m used to, when hatin’ no more confuse you
Took bites on the hand that fed you, the first and the fifteenths brutal
Static around the usual, automatic sounds that spook you
Never heard a complaint, homage gets paid by the new school
Association got you sick, vomit your way to neutral
The more I make, the smarter, Comma’s that made me frugal
The bottom’s brutal, got all the talent but time is crucial
Your ear was to the street, in the [?] a crown seduce you
The cubs will walk around with a separate size
In events that require your neck and tie [?], suit protects the slides in
I’m specializin’ in enterprizin’ and catchin’ vibes is my exercisin’
You ain’t got shit that ain’t worth jeopardizin’
A book of notes that you connect your lies in
A few more moves, I’m gon’ accept my Heisman
Give me a beach, you ain’t gon’ recognize ’em
You still unheard, you knocked the shepherd’s eyes in
New year, more records risin’, uh
What consequence? There is no limit
Manage to shine another dark cloud, hell’s home when you live it
What would you do to be remembered?
Gates’ll be openin’, but only a few will be remembered
Only get respect when you give it
Will propability and karma both pay you a visit?
Is quickness somethin’ you can live with?
Will nothin’ change, you don’t [?] and live it
Uh, tough is the wall I came through, resonance is all I gave you
The borough that lifts you up near the city of fallen angels
It’s hard to see over borders, but flourish, you’re more than able
Damn, I miss the O2 ’03 models with longer cables
They wanna ball and chain Blue, feet up on the corporate table
Lookin’ down’s a awkward angle, don’t let the performance change you
Many tried to walk in my shoes, they all disabled
Careful when signin’ contracts, their record offer’s fatal
I hit the spot and hoes froze, give me my plaque and rose gold
I need my love centerfold and money tall as Bobo
I heard your demo, no soul, niggas’ll never go pro
Recordin’ hits like RICO, my favorite episode show
I’m in and out the field, Kevlar, all my outfit still
Around me, I’m out for chill, best you want a alpha male
Million dollar house is ill, this time I reroute Brazil
New blood is about to spill, youngin’ niggas out to kill (Uh)
What consequence? There is no limit
Manage to shine another dark cloud, hell’s home when you live it
What would you do to be remembered?
Gates’ll be openin’, but only a few will be remembered
Only get respect when you give it
Will propability and karma both pay you a visit?
Is quickness somethin’ you can live with?
Will nothin’ change, you don’t [?] and to live it
Uh, stick to other side of the fence, flip and accept the consequence
Aura capturin’ hostages, murder without a consciousness
The provider of opulence, nigga we’re polar opposites
Time’s flyin’, no time to flinch, last time tryin’ my common sense
Right off the project bench, diamond coppin’ for eyes to squint
Litterin’ with your compliments, villain behind a mobster tint
They ran the block foreign, gettin’ money is a popular sin
Dusty niggas with pocket lint suffer too, no spot’s exempt
Fame is a scary win, my body count high as the year we in
You know they been cheering again, why try to compare me then
I’m damn near alien, I pass plug, them can nearly win
Been through it all, lucky you get a laugh out me, I barely grin
Envy’s your energy, you live with disposable memories
Gather up all my trolls and I’ma steamroll ’em collectively
No, you remember me? I put them bills on you allegedly
My third installment a COTI, notch on my legacy (Uh)
What consequence? There is no limit
Manage to shine another dark cloud, hell’s home when you live it
What would you do to be remembered?
Gates’ll be openin’, but only a few will be remembered
Only get respect when you give it
Will propability and karma both pay you a visit?
Is quickness somethin’ you can live with?
Will nothin’ change, you don’t [?] and to live it
