Babies (feat. Ghostface Killah, Raekwon & GZA)

Light is shinin', beauty sunshine
 Here comes one-time, the ball was so fine
 Heat is blazin', the kids were playin'
 His partner was Shady, tryin' to slave the babies
 Aiyyo they didn't know the cop was crooked
 He had blow out in Brooklyn
 All this while he let the fiends cook it
 The baseheads stirred it up, plus they got to blow it up
 Dropped it off in the J's and they bigged it up
 Then one day, shit jumped off real crazy
 The middle of a bathroom they find an old lady
 No clothes, half of her tongue, ear missin'
 The killer had to be mad smart, he wore mittens
 Even though her leg was bitten
 Crackheads point the finger at Detective slick Morris Gittins
 Paleface cop who done popped the desk
 And got the chop on his neck from when he knocked Celeste
 It was a slug, drug, he pressured everybody on the block
 Some niggaz know him as the godson of Gotti
 And his black partner, he was scared to speak
 He saw how they planted weapons on these kids in the street
 He saw like over fifty bodies in like fifty-two weeks
 He saw his colleague pick up money before leavin' his beat
 They call him desk duty, Robocop
 Younger dudes call him Freddy Krugs from the way he walk on the block
 Light is shinin', beauty sunshine
 Here comes one-time, the ball was so fine
 Heat is blazin', the kids were playin'
 His partner was Shady, tryin' to slave the babies
 Heard the disturbance out the window, oh shit they got my son
 Pulled over his tempo, Brenda dropped the endo
 Had her little nephew with her yo she didn't care
 They always harassed her, until she blew the captain with a razor
 His partner turned red in his waist, mase done smacked her
 With the walkie, yoked her then slammed her on her face
 He bugged on her like she was drugged, plugged one in her
 The fifth relaxed her like a big thug pistol whipped her
 Heard she was dusted, musta been the way they threw the cuffs on her
 She broke the shits, went and rushed the kid
 Wavin' her hands, she had a half a axe, all in her tracks
 He grabbed her by the air, she broke his jaw it cracked
 More cops arrived, they both bloodied down by the five
 Wildest niggaz just smilin' 'cause it look live
 They gave her forty years in New Orleans, callin' me boy
 Shorty was young, by three days had a great bid
 Light is shinin', beauty sunshine
 Here comes one-time, the ball was so fine
 Heat is blazin', the kids were playin'
 His partner was Shady, tryin' to slave the babies
 You're just worms in the worst part of the apple that's rotten
 You squirm and you turn from the right, still plottin'
 All slimy 'cause you stay grimy, petty crimey cat
 You sometime me, don't need to remind me about livin' in the core
 With the scramblers in front of the store
 The bum holdin' the door, the mugging no one saw
 We played ball in the alley where dope was shot raw
 And the school they kept flawed, plus the lowest test scores
 Small percentage determined to strengthen they position
 Transformation from critical to, stable condition
 But it still be obstacles on niggaz that's optical
 Watchin' you like salt-water sharks that's tropical
 The money was the root and it's the instinct to make it
 With they pockets and fridge naked, many aim to take it
 Whether, hold up, set up, stabbin' or a wet up
 Just to know it was the kid next door fizzucked your head up
 Once he fell short, frequently visit the courts
 And for some, another way out, is music and sports
 That's why I, keep the rhyme just as fly as a shot
 That won the championship, with just oh on the clock
 Light is shinin', beauty sunshine
 Here comes one-time, the ball was so fine
 Heat is blazin', the kids were playin'
 His partner was Shady, tryin' to slave the babies
 Light is shinin', beauty sunshine
 Here comes one-time, the ball was so fine
 Heat is blazin', the kids were playin'
 His partner was Shady, tryin' to slave the babies
