    [Verse 1: Big L]
    When I cruise through the ghetto I drive slow
    I'm quick to buck a duck and I don't give a fuck about 5-0
    A hardcore life, I chose to explore
    Therefore I lived raw and went to war with the law
    My only picture was a mug shot, slugs what thugs got
    Pockets swellin' hot from sellin' tops on the drug spot
    Gs was clocked, fat knots went in the socks
    And cops who tried to stop shop got knocked when I popped the Glock
    Shit was ran right by me and my man Mike
    'Cause I choose to use a gun don't mean that I can't fight
    'Cause we could put the guns down and go one round
    With the hands my man, I ain't the one, you'll get done clown
    I can inverse my style 'cause I'm versatile
    Quick to burst a child, I'm livin' worse than foul
    I pack two tecs in case your crew flex
    I wet up the set in a sec and yell "Who's next?"
    To feel the wrath of a psychopath, shoots it up like Shaft
    Turn your staff into a bloodbath then laugh
    You'll get smashed like a deli snack, you're softer than jelly jack
    I attack in black with a gat and a skully hat
    On one three ninth street, Malcolm X boulevard
    It's full of hard brothers that's thick and quick to pull a card
    I tell facts when the beat start
    Listen here sweetheart, the Big L is street smart
    I fuck ducks and they crews up, make 'em give the jewels up
    For those who refuse I squeeze the uz and light them fools up
    I had beef with this nigga named Randolph
    Now he's in a casket dressed up with his hands crossed
    A beat down from Big L, that's what all pranksters get
    Like Al Yankovic, I'm on some real gangster shit
    I'm never fuckin' with no handicapped or crippled bitches
    Look at my scalp real close and you'll see triple sixes
    Crimes I committed, I'm a villain admit it
    I'm the type to murder you then tell your moms I'm the kid who did it
    Peace and love is somethin' that I don't rhyme about
    Fuck what you heard, you know what I'm about
    [Hook]
    Knockin' niggas off, knockin' niggas out
    Knockin' niggas off, knockin' niggas out
    Knockin' niggas off, knockin' niggas out
    Knockin' niggas off, you know what I'm about
    Knockin' niggas off, knockin' niggas out
    Knockin' niggas off, knockin' niggas out
    Knockin' niggas off, knockin' niggas out
    You know what I'm about!
    [Verse 2: Lord Finesse]
    It's the man with the rough flow
    Some niggas don't like me but I don't give a fuck though
    Cause I'm in command y'all
    I'm smackin' niggas up like Puerto Ricans play handball
    I ain't the funny type
    To joke around I gotta get my motherfuckin' money right
    'Cause I got the right game
    Definitely the wrong man to invite to a dice game
    I'm rolling numbers with no practice
    I'm snatchin' up the dough like motherfuckers owe taxes
    'Cause I got strategy
    I'm rollin' head crack trips and makin' all the brothers mad at me
    Word, I'm taxin' shit
    I'm shittin' on niggas like I just had a laxative
    Tryin' to earn props I ain't the one to see
    You clowns'll fuck around and get played like a drum machine
    Ya gotta find a better way
    I'll pull ya card, your file, shit, plus your resume
    'Cause I don't play clown
    I gotta get mine that's why my face stay frown
    I don't smile, don't try to pull my file
    I'll lay your ass like tile, you know my motherfuckin' style
    So just slow down 'cause y'all can't throw down
    And y'all can't accept that a nigga's makin' dough now
    And I'm livin' better troop
    And I'm makin' more noise than a fuckin' heavy metal group
    I'm a cool man, a brother with a smooth plan
    That's why I'm seein' more papers than a newsstand
    So peep it, don't try to run around or speak it
    Point blank I keep my whereabouts secret
    While niggas are packin' steel, actin' ill
    I'm on the D.L. with a female and I'm stackin' bills
    How I'm livin'? Everything is well
    'Cause a nigga like me, yo I'm ringin' bells
    Without doubt I got clout
    Yo fuck that shit, yo you know what I'm about
    [Hook]
    Knockin' niggas off, knockin' niggas out
    Knockin' niggas off, knockin' niggas out
    Knockin' niggas off, knockin' niggas out
    Knockin' niggas off, you know what I'm about!
    Yeah! C'mon!
    Knockin' niggas off, knockin' niggas out
    Knockin' niggas off, knockin' niggas out
    Knockin' niggas off, knockin' niggas out
    You know what I'm about!
    [Outro: Big L]
    Word, you definite know what I’m about Go get your steel and guard you grill, you bitch-ass niggas I ain’t having it for ‘92, niggas, word 'em up
