Joell Ortiz

Finish What You Start

I hear y'all talkin

It's funny to me (yeah!)

See, where I come from

We act first, ask questions later (c'mon!)

If I'm in there the whole place full up

I'll use your lil' bar to do a pull-up

Use your wack-ass tracks as target practice

And tell the baddest broads to arch it backwards

For years I wore the same Starter jacket

and beat-up tees with the scars to match it

Jeans with the holes, sneakers with no sole

When Genesis dropped my Nintendo was so old

Oh no, couldn't have that

I put the pen where the pad at - VOILÀ! Magic

I'll disappear in the booth, reappear messiah

When I write, call it a night, vampire

Ask around, your boy hot, and I uhh

don't plan to cool off like a campfire

E'rybody gather round, I'ma tell a story

of a snot-nosed kid, try and smell the glory

I, shoot first ask questions last

That's how most of these so-called gangstas pass

That's how most of these so-called gangstas pass

That's how most of these so-called gangstas, gangstas {C'MON!}

I - shoot first ask questions last

A poof! How low, so low, so low, so low

A poof! How low, so low, so low, so low

I (Well I'ma finish what you start!)

This for the block mister, the rock pictures

Late night, cranberry and Cîroc mixers

Parkin lot pissers, glock top shifters

Dudes who stay fresh cause they shoplifters

That's where I come from, so me no run from

bumbaclot pussy drummer boy, rumpa-pum-pum

You no tough stuff, you my son's son

You just bluff rough, me say come, come

I'll give it to anyone who wants some

Go silly on they Achilles until they run's done

I keep a hot line, 9-1-1

Everyone say hi to the hero that won't go unsung

A moment of silence while I give Pun some

Scream Borrrrricua 'til your tongue's numb

What's your angle? Haha, I know mine

If it's cheese, (Swizz) style, "SHOWTIME!"

I ain't a troublemaker but my flow cocky

So all the pretty mamis yellin "GO PAPI!"

Man that's so neat, and y'all so sloppy

When you think I'm done shittin I do mo' copyJust love to flex my rap muscle

What muzzle? Dog, you just a Jack Russell

Your bite weak and your bark a lil' pitch

Relax, you no match for a hard-nosed pit'

I can't find a track that my bars won't rip

You guys are sick warrin with the Gaza Strip

When I back out this pen all you guys'll strip

Like you in Chippendales tryin to wind for tips (haha)

No need to see, slow down and let the leader lead

DJs, bring this back! I'm what the needle need

And I don't mean to get all mushy like my last bitch

(BLAP!) Damn, I love this rap shit
