Intro (The Dynasty)
[Produced by Just Blaze]

[Intro]
It's the Dynasty, n***as
As promised
The world's most infamous, Roc-A-Fella Records
This is Roc La Familia
It's Young Hova
Beanie Sigel
Memphis Bleek
Amil-lion
It's the Dynasty, n***as
2000 to infinity
This is ghetto to ghetto, gutter to gutter
Street corner to street corner, project to project
Worldwide
Walk with us, n***as
Hoffa, Dash
It's The Dynasty, n***as
Check it out
Ugh, walk with me, talk to me, yo

[Verse]
The theme song to The Sopranos
Plays in the key of life on my mental piano
Got a strange way of seeing life, like
I'm Stevie Wonder with beads under the do-rag
Intuition is there, even when my vision's impaired, yeah
Knowing I can go just switching a spare
On the highway of life, n***a, it's sharp in my sight, oh!
Keen senses ever since I was a teen on the benches
Every time somebody like Ennis was mentioned
I would turn green—me, being in the trenches
Him, living adventurous, not worrying about expenditures
I'm braving temperatures below zero, no hero
No father figure; you gotta pardon a n***a
But I'm starving, my n***as, and the weight loss in my figure
Is starting to darken my heart, 'bout to get to my liver
Watch it, my n***as; I'm trying to be calm but I'm gon' get richer
Through any means with that thing that Malcolm palmed in the picture
Never read the Qu'ran or Islamic scriptures
Only Psalms I read was on the arms of my n***as
Tattooed, so I carry on like I'm nonreligious
Clap whoever stand between Shawn and figures
N***as say it's the dawn, but I'm superstitious
Shit is as dark as it's been, nothing has gone as you predicted
I move with biscuits, stop the heart of n***as acting too suspicious
This is food for thought—you do the dishes!
