lyrics

verse1 evv'n'flo:
I got a /family to feed and the Russian government doin nothing for the famine and greed damned if I leave
Damned to stay either way hope they don’t take my family away all the local thugs
Act like a government spokesman does both of em feed like cannibals eat
You gottta pick your battles and Im planning retreat when I realize the man got his hand on my sleeve

Yellin in my ear why aren’t you answering me so I reach into my pocket to retrieve my wallet
Stalin… to stalin /given away my dollars fastest
livin in a state that’s lawless, or better yet fascist Policemen
same as all the rest we pay the department or independent market w cabbage

/ 1 they cant promise that noones gonnna harm us, aint never any calmness found in the motherland
/1 so now I gotta cover ground, my many relatives live here on the other hand
/ I think im gonna stay where my cousin lives im tired of the sufferin
/1 my money stretch thin like a rubber band, but someday ima get the upper hand

/ So im off on a journey constantly yearning, but I gotta go on
/ I saw how they doin those evils to the jewish people during the pogroms
/ With nothing but clothes we run up the road n we snuck on a boat
/ It looked about a hundred years old, with crumbling bolts I wonder will it hold

/ but im hungry n bold I when I arrive hope that I love it like home
/ but all I can think about is getting some food cuz my stomach grumblin ohhhh
/ I come to see that I’m actually im unhappy to find america is the same thing
Extortion isn’t any different payment to the kang pin they tell me

chorus(mv):
if you want to stay safe then you'll fill ours with a bit a
pay, kids go play you don't wanna let em get up in the way, way too late to make excuses you made me
wait, all day tomorrow gonna do the same thang

verse2 mv:
Get a taste for fuckin asses in a drunken haze
(Glutenous) /stuck in the tubs in the baths/ duckin assassins/ where my glasses to /raise to see
the cases of moonshine under the gaze of the law enforcement agencies
They're so easily coerced, cooperative with a little endorsement: its extortion

Pray? I'm the only god you got in these states/ stuck the monks in their case:
The trunk of my carriage/ shmucks nefarious /trade the guts to the triple k, klu klux arians
At the marriage of my daughter decorated with the merit of a 24-caret icing cake
I was asked to inherit the sheriffs 45, Tommy fires at terrifying rates

I've made my way through real estate now I'm lookin into outer space
Hired hands to do the dirty work once I got them out their chains
American gangster and I get no thanks/ no scars on my face our lucks bout to /change
Homie Capone is home alone this is our chance to raid
/“Nice place”

chorus(mv)

2bars mv:
lookin to take advantage imminently of some innocently insolent immigrant
status quo-tients done by my accountants countin cash feelin omnipotent\
2bars evv'n'flo:
Extortions a problem but now im importing my vodka, cuz im interested in
Businesses it’ll have to be lucrative makin bigger plans of gittin rich

2bars mv:
I wanna get out of the game but still reap the profits g-men prohibiting
my operations with elliot ness may take my business elsewhere I may be selling it
2bars evv'n'flo:
Each week I go to the speak easy to sell my mixture in bins
People are seedy I think they wanna rob me for my dividends but this time I aint littin them

mv:
I have a /business proposal I’d like to discuss
evv:
I look into his eyes and I size em up
mv:
No need to be rough wanna make five bucks
evv:
step into my house you can take a chug
mv:
So /you’re the new guy with the potent potion
evv:
you can buy stock but you wont control it
mv:
This is /how its gonna happen you will be persuaded
evv:
I take him to the basement to make him wasted
mv:
You’ll do just fine as my……
evv:
“that’s not what I got in mind
I’ve /taken shit for a long time now I got a better live startin an enterprise
mv:
I own this city I know all the guys
evv:
I know you paid the price high
mv:
This is my empire
evv:
and /now it is mine I tell them
