The Alchemist
The Rotten Apple
[Hook: Prodigy (James Brown sample)]
The Rotten Apple made me like this
I don't give a fuck
I shoot a n***a down and cut a n***a up
New York made me this way, I'm all about a buck
My close friends was murdered, I bulletproof my truck
Shit, New York taught me
It's no mercy
It's no lettin' it slide, I'm so thirsty
New York, New York, n***a! (New York City)
It's Queens, New York, n***a!

[Verse 1: Prodigy]
Listen n***a, my face got the scars
My brain got the smarts
My chest got the heart, to fuck someone up
What, n***a? I make it hot
Police be on the block
'Cause P just shot, some stupid fucker
Now you n***as can't pump, ol' mad at me
Should be mad at that n***a whose tryna crab me
You know I ain't the one if you didn't you know now
These n***as be slow, 'til I blow the four pound
And put a 'lil pep in their step
I got death for any n***a wit a 'S' on their chest
That's my reflexes, when you hear them shots
See if I gave it to a n***a, he deserve what he got
Look, my hammer got the cure for your amnesia
How conveniently we forget, P is Black Caesar
And Hell over in Queens that swell up in my jeans
Don't mean I'm happy to see you, that mean I got the thang

[Verse 2: Prodigy]
Look here n***a! I rap what I live
You makin' up shit
Old type of scenarios, this how it really goes
In real life you puss'
Never pull no juks
Neva pull no trigger and let the blood gush
As my 'lil cousin over here; n***as get booked
You pussy come back for his shit, the pussy get douche
We the ultimate Thug N***as, The Grand Goons
Majesty and E Money Bags already told you
If 'Pac was still alive, we'd be on the same team
We got bigger fish to fry than that bitch Supreme
Now you listenin' with new ears, see me with new eyes
They play and they pray for the day I die, nah!
I shoot shooters and, kill killers
Send your henchman and I'ma make a movie outta n***as, huh!
Straight snuff film, get your rub peeled
Remove your skull, my heart is so cold
