Verse 1
nothing is promised
My life is filled with less hope than the
prophecies of Nostradamus
Omega marks the ending of
predictability, birth of agility
Who will it be to test me
and expose their futility
Iron like a lion from Zion
stop tryin' so hard
I think I smell your brain cells fryin'
The family's behind you if
you're worthy
Philosophies developed deep in the
back streets of dirty Jersey
Troops with scully hats
and Timberland boots
No more break- dancing for loot
Niggas hustle and shoot
In the Garden State,
it grows stink weeds and criminals
Government funds are minimal
Oppression's subliminal
Verse 2
F
These days its hard for we
to find peace of mind
Between insanity and sanity
there lies a thin line
Some dwell in hotels with Jezebels
A stone age and fall a victim
to the Plague
Unclean bad dreams of
Wyclef being a fiend
One last kiss from my
sweet serpentine
Eliminate then break
Navigate to rejuvenate thoughts of suicide
with my nickel plate
Reconciliation came from
my enemy- friend
Who said family don't bend
We stay silent till the end
Now who would think that
your best friend
Would be your worst enemy and your
enemy your best friend
Stare into the air inspiration
from the atmosphere
I think of old ghosts, that ain't even here
Like Alex Haley take notes
on this Biography
My family tree consists
of street refugees
A ghetto land, where we talk slang
Stolen cars bang,
like my chitty bang- bang sh- bang
For the heads,
we ain't sellin' cocaine today
F
So refrain and let my family reign okay
Verse 3
Just walkin' the streets death
can take you away
It's never guaranteed that
you'll see the next day
At night the evil armies of
Shaton don't play
So defend the family that's
the code to obey
Verse 4
F
But if I fall asleep and death
takes me away
Don't be surprised son,
I wasn't put here to stay
At night the evil armies of
Shaton don't play
So the family sticks together
and we never betray
Verse 5
Fifty- two pick up, no cops around
Fifty- two thousand in cash,
I don't want no savings bonds
Have the money ready,
I smell something fishy
Your wife's in my custody
One false move and you'll find
her body in the sea
That's the voice of the kid,
that's the kidnapper
I do my work and then I catch
my ticket to Jamaica
Meet me in the alley,
make sure you bring the money
This ain't the seventies
I'm far from a jive turkey
Verse 6
can't be broken
Open, cut- throatin', provokin'
Record promotin, tokens chokin'
on they words like smoke and
Cause we soft spoken,
doesn't mean that we've forgotten
Your bootie smells rotten and
one day you will be gotten
See joker's is scatter- brained,
their focus is unrestrained
My army is trained,
you never find us beefin' in vain
Eb
Cause I've seen fire and I've seen rain
F
while modest niggas remain
I can judge a character like
Ito judge a verdict
And if you bringin' threats I give
you sex if I ain't heard it
See poppin' shit's about your
attitude and how you word it
I've seen the biggest niggas
on the block get murdered
And they deserved it
Or so the beast said when they served it
That shit is nervous
So what's my purpose?
Family, we must preserve it
Your number's retired
I hope you like the hell fires
You'll be screamin' Murder she Wro
F
te like Chaka Demus and Pliars
Verse 7
F
Just walkin' the streets death
can take you away
It's never guaranteed that
you'll see the next day
At night the evil armies of
Shaton don't play
So defend the family that's
the code to obey
Verse 8

At night the evil armies of

So the family sticks together
and we never betray
Verse 9
But now we gun hope
Bustin' shots off of project roof tops
Sending signals with the blunt smoke
Ock, don't talk a lot if
you can't hold it in lock
If you think lips sink ships
Imagine full glock clips
I hold a glass of Remy Martin
Gettin' milks by the carton
Extortin' the light weights for
thinkin' they important
The night pays and heavenly ways
Ain't nothin' free ah
Knowledge of your family
and steppin' to your B.I.
You see I, stay on top of shit like a fly
My niggas reach when they got beef
Then jet down to South Beach
Yo mouthpiece is yappin'
I hear it in your rap and
My family is thick so that bullshit
could never happen
Verse 10
F
Just walkin' the streets death
can take you away
It's never guaranteed that
you'll see the next day
At night the evil armies of
Shaton don't play
So defend the family that's
the code to obey
Verse 11
F
If I fall asleep and death
takes me away
Don't be surprised son,
I wasn't put here to stay
At night the evil armies of
Shaton don't play
So the family sticks together and we
