Honorable - Cormega, Raekwon

Ayo, the library of slangs — dutches up in Ukraine

Political prisoner, check the chain

Out the country with my dame

Televised gangsters, see me up close, nothing’s changed

Gettin' top on top, bags and duffels

I need the long Glock

You stupid?

Don’t play me

See 'em in drugs spots, plainclothes, all in shock

Dick out, can’t even explain me

I live for the moment, give to the homeless

$ 20,000 TECs, cribs is a bonus

You fuckin' with them niggas who bust straight

Menace to society drinkin' juice in the hood, waitin'

Paper made me do it, your body we’ll snatch

It’s like a London flick against the Japs

Sittin' at the dice table, handlin', man to man

One-on-one, a hundred grand and your son

In life we’re faced with obstacles

We want to achieve dreams that might seem impossible

The odds don’t lie, look at mine — acknowledge truth

The streets raised me to be wise and honorable…

Wise and honorable…

The streets raise me to be wise and honorable…

Wise and honorable…

The streets raised me to be wise and honorable

Beef and money don’t mix, invest in peace

I’ve paid dues in the street, respect is my receipt

Truth will set you free, except with police

Be aware when you sleep or you could rest in peace

I elevate poetically, I’m incredibly deep

Never ball 'til you fall, capisce?

Stay on your feet

If you were anxiously waitin' for me and Rae on the beat

Be gracious, understand patience is key

I once needed direction now I’m facin' the East

To give praise like Mohammed

Indeed Allah opened my eyes, I’m watchin' my surroundings

Sharks and piranhas survive in the warmest waters

Mama Sana won’t allow me to acknowledge doubters

Couldn’t conceive I was built to prosper

Since a teen wearin' diamond jewelry in the projects

If you get knocked, housing’s gonna seize your apartment

In life we’re faced with obstacles

We want to achieve dreams that might seem impossible

The odds don’t lie, look at mine — acknowledge truth

The streets raised me to be wise and honorable…

Wise and honorable…

The streets raise me to be wise and honorable…

Wise and honorable…

The streets raised me to be wise and honorable
