Whatever It Takes (Explicit)

Yeah Blood and Ashes uh-hu lets go

Now i done came a long way

Since the lunch room tables

Cypherin' in hallways

Being young willing and able

Outerspace always

Was ready to do it hard to earn

Illmatic played a heavy influence

Scars I burned still

At it I was steady pursuing

A way to get a piece

Of this pie right through this music

The game kept increasing

My high lets keep it moving

'Till my name get released is the sky

From show improving

For those that shited on me

Theres no discussion

I'm goin' six months a year

In and out of clubbing

The other six months

I'm seekin' out production

Constantly makin' moves

Havin' time for nothing

Constantly breaking rules

When its time for crushing

Dropping these vicious rhymes

On the dime is lovely

'Till my squad open wide

On the side they love me

Do this for y'all Planetary

But the rest disgust me

You have no clue

What I do to the rest they judge me

Give you a few through-and-through

Y'all cant bend or budge me

Since the birth of my son

I place no one above him

Till the day that I die

I will end you function

Whatever its gone' take to make it

When I see my chance I'm take it

'Coz I have came way to far

To let you stop me now

I work hard

Its more than a matter of pride

I'm usin my pen to provide

'Coz I have came way to far

To let you stop me now

I work hard

First place I'm'a take you

The days evolve

All I bang is Kool G rap and DJ Polo

We was men at work

Should i say young'ins jus' try to get it

It was always me and Crypt

Till this day we never separate

In high school battling

They took me lightly

My skins a little lighter

At the end they didn't like me

I cooked them

And i took them to a place

They ain't never been

Hate to see me win

'Coz it happened over and over again

Created Q-D with El Dorado

'Till this day it's still the motto

We gone' leave you niggas hope y'all follow

My love for Outerspace is

Deeper than the casket plus

I had two sons

And i named them cannons after us

Crypt you just planted a seed in yo' garden

Take care of little Nikki

Like our mothers when we starvin'

The belly of the beast

A feast is un-reachable

Gotta get this cheddar

Now the young'ins they believe in you

Vinnie set the path

Now when i hear Walk With Me

I hear the hook

That's where Paz was talkin' to me

We gone' do it 'till the 40's start pouring

'Till our stones get carved and the Blood

And Ashes start forming

Whatever its gone' take to make it

When I see my chance I'm'a take it

'Coz I have came way to far

To let you stop me now

I work hard

It's more than a matter of pride

I'm usin my pen to provide

'Coz I have came way to far

To let you stop me now

I work hard

Whatever its gone' take to make it

When I see my chance I'm'a take it

'Coz I have came way to far

To let you stop me now

I work hard

It's more than a matter of pride

I'm usin my pen to provide

'Coz I have came way to far

To let you stop me now

I work hard
