Empathy

Lloyd Banks

7

Yeah

Mo′fuckers know what time it is, man

This is the course of the inevitable

Yo, the audacity it takes to rank me with the style I invented

Wear my credentials like it's jewelry, thinkin′ my flowers cemented

To hell with honorable mentions, artists are comical, temptin'

Horrible albums, new ventin', three pounds of vomit, who sent ′em?

Stereo blood they laughin′, they helium'd up your last king

Can′t muzzle me up with no coffin, won't hit me with no vaccine

Goons in the black Beam, turn your crew to a track team

Highly viewed on the rap scene, sly maneuvers and cash streams

Flee from the copper sound, racist coppers, they chop us down

Ounces of 14K, you R.I.P. boxes with rocks around

None of y′all profit bound, crypt the equipment out the sockers now

Get with the art or drown, rubber bands stackin' up dollar pounds

Revenge is on its job, karma′ll sneak a gun in softly

Been callin' up to God, startin' to think He hung up on me

Number orgy, figured you need some incentive to come support me

One or two flips I′m out of here

Hit the work with a somersault, we on

I can still hear the money calling, I done been out the way too long

Nothing out here is more important, put in the spot where I belong

Gotta know how to take a loss, give me that curse when I was born

The last nigga that go to sleep will be the first to be put on

Live all your days like it′s your

Last 'cause in a blink you could be gone

You rather love or will respect? Showin′ that love'll get you harmed

Won′t be no empathy 'cause you

Going through it, gotta be strong (yeah)

It′s always easier for you to do wrong

(Big Rabbit Gang)

Yuh, went on a yacht, got seasick, can't fuck on the boat no more

A key of wap mixed with that cut, guess I don't sell dope no more

Synthetics, mafia methods, like I′m in the Cosa No′

Get rich and charge it all to a bitch

That's how this shit ′posed to go

My geekers wanna damn near OD, they want that got 'em dead

Kitchen full of powder, I turn my bitch to a powderhead

Niggas takin′ deals, that's the only way you get out the feds

Castrated, dick in his fuckin′ mouth when

They found him dead (yo, slow down, Fred)

These scammers ain't no hustlers, they computer thots

These Harlem niggas send some shooters

At me, got the shooter shot, uh (oops)

This shit I be spittin' so real, make niggas pull they Google out

My ′vette orange, groovin′ like I grew up on the Hoover block

I move it in the U-Haul, my Spanish niggas gon' get me right

Freddie Chicharito, fuck Spanish bitches up in the heights

Bussin′ with this TEC, I got jacked and I tried to smoke a hike

Nine shots, turned into Superman when he smoked the pipe

Yeah, you heard 'em right

I can still hear the money calling, I done been out the way too long

Nothing out here is more important, put in the spot where I belong

Gotta know how to take a loss, give me that curse when I was born

The last nigga that go to sleep will be the first to be put on

Live all your days like it′s your

Last 'cause in a blink you could be gone

You rather love or will respect? Showin′ that love'll get you harmed

Won't be no empathy ′cause you going through it, gotta be strong

It′s always easier for you to do wrong

From here on out it's independent now, fuck what the labels offerin′

Sick and tired of awkward grins, back slammin' coupe doors again

Studios I′ve been torturing

I'ma dedicate this to all the less fortunate

There′s a lack of real niggas, fucked up the war percent

Victory is a gorgeous sin, bought the Benz so you all can vent

More content with a fortune spent, no disrespect from talks exempt

Mackin' gave me a freezin' chest, always thirty degrees or less

Destined for me to be the best, out of QU-2 E′s-NS

Vegetable state for being fake, EMS to a vegan death

Poverty leaves you breathin′ stressed, legal mess on the freedom steps

Celebrity never made me, my sentiments made me crazy

187's the consequence, 718′s the AC

Troubled, to say the least, pray the heavenly gates embrace thee

There's finally notoriety, that′s gonna come with a late fee

Performance style is a .40 Cal, back out movin' the army now

Far away from the corny crowd, dying you call me out, now

I can still hear the money calling, I done been out the way too long

Nothing out here is more important, put in the spot where I belong

Gotta know how to take a loss, give me that curse when I was born

The last nigga that go to sleep will be the first to be put on

Live all your days like it′s your

Last 'cause in a blink you could be gone

You rather love or will respect? Showin' that love′ll get you harmed

Won′t be no empathy 'cause you going through it, gotta be strong

It′s always easier for you to do wrong
