Walk away and be a man, or flip out and get emotional Run it like the tracks, nigga, light repels I control my own destiny, too, my fate was sealed I put my whole career on my back, and roll the dice You see the gamble paid off, when I made the sacrifice And niggas'll always love me, cuz a nigga stay hungry And I only keep the thoroughest muthafuckas among me I stay representing Red Hook, home of the villains The world's largest projects, I know ya'll heard about all the killings I even heard some of ya'll spitting Red Hook on ya'll shit I ain't ever see you walking through these blocks or on these bricks Alotta snakes in the industry, try to hither me But my will is too strong for them to ever put an end to me [Chorus 2X]
