- 5 for 40
[Cormega]
Son I was a young nigga hustling
Me serving a D was unheard of, unless a D served me
Speak words superbly, its clear you heard me
Your idea of a real nigga changed
I'm into bigger things
I'm tryin to maintain the same aim of prisoners
drug dealers and my niggas you gangbanged
- A New Day Begins
Under the sun vultures looming
Hoping to consume a culture wounded
Boldly refusing to die, I'm show and proving
I embodied what only few can
Wear sincerity not the robe of Judas
My golden rule is, live no lie
I know truth is part of my focus
Music, art imitates life, growth included
- Dangerous
Dangerouuuuuuuussssssssssss!!!!!!!
I am dangerous, yay!!! I am dangerous, yay!!!
[Verse 1: Cormega]
Like City Of God adversity is Medusa's curse I been hard when facin admeasurable odds
I clearly evolve like Bibby when Webber was Gone
The jewels keep me cool when the weather is warm
The Coups be as hot as the strip that we on
- Dramatic Entrance
Yo.. yo.. A man is condemned or exaulted by his words..
Exalt me.. yo.. this what y'all niggas wanted..
The streets was waitin'
here I am, a beast awakened
in a Beamer Station Wagon with massive gleamin' bracelets
after years of bein' patient
sheddin' tears and beatin' cases
- Endangered Species
(Verse 1)
Dress don't impress me (uh)
Ain't no love, your death won't affect me
How dare you? Think I fear you
Or won't retaliate,
Nigga, bring it to me I strike immediately
I see the envy, you lust what I posses
Guns at my address await you
- Fallen Soldiers
[Cormega]
What, I'ma live for my niggas
I'ma shine for my niggas
Yo we bled for hours, now I learn to dread tomorrow
Had to see my nigga Yammy dead, but he can rest with honor
Cuz he was reppin on his quest for dollars
I was the one who took him Uptown, with someone into measure powder
- Industry
Listen to me good
The artist is the most important person
You are the feature
People listen to you, they don't listen to their preachers
Exaggerated tales of hustin' we quick to pass
judgment and fail our brothers
Instead of talkin' bout Lauren Hill talk about
- Introspective
I killed her with +The Realness+ now I'm bringin her life
Prestige is an illusion people tend to lose sight
I will always be Cory, youngest child of Dorothy
My brown eyes mirrors the pure ferocity
I slung the E, held my first heat with curiousity
Slept with it, rep with it, streets empower me
I came from curses, cuffs, and suede Pumas
- Live Ya Life
[Verse One]
Your son's stressin' you out
When he was home, he showed no respect for ya house
Now he locked up, callin' collect and you about
To put a block on your phone, Til he says you're the only one helpin' him out
He said his friends ain't there for him
- Rap's a Hustle
[Verse 1]
I'ma pimp, a pen's my hoe
She don't ever move until I say so
Her only purpose in life is get me large
I got my pen workin' 16 bars
When I'm happy she happy, sad she sad
She make sure we both have
She know I got plenty more to replace her
- Reflection
Fuck the crown, truthfully
All it did was ruin unity
In the rap community, no rapper ruling me
It's like birds amongst lions
As soon as my cub starts
Crying you're food to me
Love thy enemy, some were once cool with me
I read niggas well
- Say No More
No army formed against me shall prosper
Especially not yours, I stand up
You got weak posture
Ineffectively plannin' my demise
You're intellectually challenged
Not understandin' wisdom brings balance
Between sophistication and savage
I'm a different cloth (Cloth)
- Soul Food
I hope this ain't a bad time, did I wake you?
I've been meaning to talk to you, come over
Take a walk with you, if you don't mind
I think its time I share thoughts with you
I thought you knew my feelings, I'm making sure you do
I'm sitting on my bed, staring at the ceiling, wishing you was here
- Take These Jewels
[Cormega]
Everybody who shake your hand
Ain't your man
Its real, if you sleep you better wake up man
Don't be a fool, learn the rules
Put your faith in your hands
Or be stunned when you see your son
Hanging your ass
- The Legacy
It was 85 Queensbridge was crazy live
Smitty was an icon his son had an MB5
Shan was the man on the rap tip, Marley on the beats
Big Wag on the crack tip, shit was sweet
Trent was a fly nigga, John Boi a live nigga
Treach hung with Ugi, you my heart till I die nigga
Herb was a trouble maker RK a money maker
- The Saga
(Man talking) Yo Mega man, whats the deal son?
(Mega) Yo son, whattup?
(Man) Yo, I'm just sittin' here, zonin' out, thinkin' about how life is
yo, life's general for us, you know? how we livin' out here, you know,
things we go through man, why we gotta go through this life?
(Mega) Life is an interlude to death son, you ever thought about that?
[Verse 1]
- The Thin Line
[Cormega]
Your depiction of a thug nigga, is fiction
Your words hung my nigga lines were drawn
You sided with the judge I ain't a hater
I don't love squellers that's me
You have the audacity to talk like you real
Nigga you fold under pressure, my life is real
You sold your soul to detectives I could get you murdered
- The True Meaning
[Girls singing chorus x2]
Out there, (out there, out there)
In the street you know, (in the street you know)
I'm strugglin', (strugglin')
Trying to survive...
[Verse 1]
- They Forced My Hand feat. Tragedy Khadafi
[Cormega and Tragedy - intro]
Yo, son it's real, you know what I'm saying?
A man is often condemned or exalted by his words, you know?
That's why we feelin' my niggas going through the struggle
QB-Brooklawn
Y'all niggas hold on if you can't hold on, hang on, you know?
[Cormega]
- Unforgiven
[Cormega]
Yo, I'm contemplatin'
My soul is in a custody fight with God and Satan
The rap or crack, I go hard for paper
Niggas ain't even as smart as Daja
And think they rockin' me to sleep or poppin' me with heat
I don't even take you serious, I think you envious
I feel it, I was born to deal bricks
- Valuable Lessons
Love you questioning
Hate is evident
People who never voted betray you for dead presidents
Some wear two faces: friend and enemy
And gain nothing 'cause they don't deserve anything
I risk my life for niggas who didn't write or visit
During my time in prison I realized my friendship
Isn't what I envisioned
