[00:01.686][Verse 1: LL COOL J]
[00:10.329]So many different hustlers you meet in the game
[00:13.707]Shit is cold, don't put your trust in 'em, let me explain
[00:15.874]The greedy killer, he wanna **** hoes and get the money
[00:19.335]But he quick to feel disrespected
[00:21.111]One slip of the tongue, wrong words selected
[00:23.462]Bullets drillin' in your melon when you least expect it
[00:26.322]Number one priority, self-preservation
[00:28.745]That applies to majority different situations
[00:31.261]The daredеvil type, he love to makе a scene, the nigga hype
[00:35.206]If he's the center of attention, you alright
[00:37.112]He worried 'bout his rep
[00:38.989]Put dirt on his name, you gettin' slept
[00:40.246]Extra sensitive, quiet as kept
[00:42.104]So you gotta play it cool with him, laugh at his jokes
[00:44.889]Don't inhale too deep when he pass you the smoke
[00:47.386]He askin' you a question, he might go for your throat
[00:49.895]It's best to be transparent or that's all she wrote
[00:52.542]
[00:52.908][Chorus: LL COOL J & Q-Tip, Rick Ross, Q-Tip]
[00:53.317](Uh, Livin' Legend Cool James)
[00:54.556]Always keep ya word, always pay him back
[00:55.793]Always keep ya word, always pay him back (Ricky Rozay AKA Ravioli)
[00:58.468]Always keep ya word (Always pay him back, Q-Tip, what up?)
[01:01.367]Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow (M-M-M-M-M-M-Maybach Music, it's the god)
[01:03.558]
[01:04.102][Verse 2: Rick Ross]
[01:04.766]Livin' like a villain, sippin' Villon out the glass
[01:06.586]Million on the wrist, quick to skip a battle rap
[01:09.094]Corvette club, wavin' Maybach flags
[01:11.563]Hundred foot yachts, jumpin' waves, runnin' laps
[01:14.286]Really just wanna smoke, really just wanted peace
[01:16.757]The niggas who want the most, some might end up with the least
[01:19.331]Shawty just broke the lease, ready to move with me
[01:21.849]I put it all in the book, prayin' that she could read
[01:24.519]Really are you a G? (Uh) Niggas just wanna see (Uh)
[01:27.172]I'm runnin' the numbers up, I feel I'm still in the lead
[01:29.621]Tentacles in the streets, criminals gettin' cream
[01:32.245]The 7 series new Beamer, really is not a thing
[01:34.883]Always gettin' the money, still hustle the max
[01:37.608]Always keepin' it real, always gettin' it back
[01:40.154]Bitches come with the thrills, all I want is the cash
[01:42.664]My niggas still on the rise while I'm chargin' a tax (Biggest)
[01:45.144]
[01:45.772][Chorus: Q-Tip]
[01:46.627]Always keep ya word, always pay him back
[01:48.610]Always keep ya word, always pay him back
[01:51.245]Always keep ya word, always pay him back
[01:52.967]
[01:53.514][Verse 3: LL COOL J, Q-Tip & Fat Joe]
[01:53.793]Then there's the boss player, he got a shrewd intellect (Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow)
[01:56.347]He thinkin' big picture, he patient with disrespect
[01:58.444]He always keep his word, but there's pressure when he collect
[02:00.973]He keep the blicky close, he smart when he invest
[02:03.544]Stay away from his hoes, that'll keep you out the mess
[02:06.432]He act like you treat him cold, but that is just a test
[02:08.655]Keep your jokes to a minimum when wifey is around
[02:11.150]Remember he's the man, and **** how it sounds
[02:13.955]Give you the shirt off his back, cross him, that's that (Yeah, uh)
[02:17.311][Chorus: LL COOL J & Q-Tip, Fat Joe, Q-Tip, All]
[02:17.919]Always keep ya word, always pay him back
[02:20.292]Always keep ya word, always pay him back (Uh)
[02:22.912]Always keep ya word, always pay him back (Always stand back)
[02:24.865]
[02:25.189][Verse 4: Fat Joe]
[02:25.794]Always keep it real, always like crack
[02:28.050]'Bout kicks I can teach ya
[02:30.103]Just blew a mini mansion in Atlanta on some sneakers
[02:32.395]I brought the purses to the Verzuz
[02:35.214]Been bodyin' shit, big boy hearses
[02:37.822]Stain careers like windows in the churches
[02:40.350]Brought the yay to the trap, this Sunday Service
[02:43.189]Always have a gauge, always had the MAC
[02:45.781]Always move weight, always move the pack
[02:48.124]Always keep your word, always pay it back
[02:50.605]Always keep it real, always like crack
[02:53.475]
[02:53.699][Chorus: LL COOL J & Q-Tip, Q-Tip]
[02:54.406]Always keep ya word, always pay him back
[02:55.746]Always keep ya word, always pay him back
[02:59.283]Always keep ya word, always pay him back
[03:02.090]Always keep ya word (Always pay him back)
