Size 'em Up Lyrics - Big L

Hey, yo, the streets love me, man an' I love the streets 

So I know ya ain't think I was comin' with some fruitcake shit 

Ya know me better than that 

Ayo, I shoulda been out, I'm deadly when I pull the pin out 

Keep frontin', I'ma try yo' chin out, I knocked a lot of men out 

I left 'em on the floor spittin' phlegm out 

It's either that or I'ma squeeze the gat an' pop ten out 

You see codione, ice spinnin', jigged out, white linen 

An' if a bitch don't like me, she must like women 

Every time I come around, you see your wife grinnin' 

Don't be mad 'coz yo' career's in the ninth innin' 

It's over now, nigga, leave the game 

I'm from the danger zone where emcees get slain 

We're thugs that never hesitate to squeeze the flame 

We're niggaz, be takin' drugs just to ease the pain 

Hustlers flip Cokey, '48 Hours' like Nick Nolte 

When I was O.T., your bitch rode me 

First day home I dived in it, left her thighs dented 

Now that bitch be pagin' me every five minutes 

Emcees, I squash an' disgrace, it's all about the Benjis 

So why your bills got Washington's face? 

A lot of cats be frontin', made singles wit a fifty on top 

L tryin' to have the city on lock 

Peace to Biggie an' Pac 'coz they really were hot 

Rap game, heavy hitters, it's a shame they no longer wit us 

Niggaz wanna be L, ladies wanna see L 

If I go to jail, you'll wear a shirt sayin', "Free L" 

What? Word up, man, them niggaz is hungry 

They ready to bite a nigga arm off 

All my wolves in the house, are you live or what? 

See, Harlem 'bout to get it, all eyes on us 

Only ghetto niggaz shine, who gon' rise wit us? 

An' the first cat who act, we gon' size 'em up 

All my wolves in the house, are you live or what? 

See, Harlem 'bout to get it, all eyes on us 

Only ghetto niggaz shine, who gon' rise wit us? 

An' the first cat who act, we gon' size 'em up 

Ayo, I hear a lot of bitch in your talk 

See a lot of switch in your walk 

Only thugs get rich in New York, time is runnin' out 

Niggaz like, "L, when you comin' out?" 

Because they sick of all this drag queen shit 

Your wife's missin', I'm the nigga she was last seen wit 

Me an' Ron hit it up on some tag team shit 

A buncha niggaz got smoked for the cash 

Used to ride Greyhounds wit dime holes 

An' stuff the Coke in they ass 

Crazy beef's got provoked in the past, lot of wigs got split 

A lot of innocent kids got hit 

Harlem World be the place of my birth, believe me, son 

We breed the smoothest niggaz on the face of the Earth 

Mics, I steadily smoke, rhymes, cleverly wrote 

As long as I can rock a crowd, I'ma never be broke 

Some hoes treated me like a bum nerve, when I was unheard 

Now I'm icey, I ain't gotta say one word, you dumb bird 

I push whips while you walk all day 

An' I hate when strange niggaz wanna talk all day 

Clown ass, shit, hate to be around that shit 

You don't know me, just say 

Wassup? Gimme a pound, that's it 

When I was at the steak house, pullin' cake out 

You was at some cheap Chinese shit 

Gettin' take out, how you make out? 

You took the fake route, you oughta break out 

You couldn't get a bitch before you put your tape out 

What? Fuckin' punks 

Niggaz like you will get robbed everyday 

All my wolves in the house, are you live or what? 

See, Harlem 'bout to get it, all eyes on us 

Only ghetto niggaz shine, who gon' rise wit us? 

An' the first cat who act, we gon' size 'em up 

All my wolves in the house, are you live or what? 

See, Harlem 'bout to get it, all eyes on us 

Only ghetto niggaz shine, who gon' rise wit us? 

An' the first cat who act, we gon' size 'em up 

Yeah, Flamboyant Entertainment 

Big L, Rondell, C Town, NFL, you know how we do 

One time, can't forget my partner, Big brother, Big Lee 

Holdin' it down, The Overseer, Flamboyant
