Kool G Rap & DJ Polo - Letters Lyrics
"Late last nighttwo undercover police officerswere foundbrutally murdered in a Fort Greeneapartment building in BrooklynNew York.At this timepolice have no suspects.Now to the weatherbut first..G tell em what time it is!"[Kool G. Rap]I got a chance to get some money so I'm takin itNo jokebecause this bein broke shit just ain't makin itCause I grew up in the fast lineSee my pops ran the numbers and my moms held the blackjack gamesNow I'm able to leave the cradleI don't remember the dinners, only the kilos on my kitchen tableSittin right beside a pistolAnd I'm watchin my pops, pick up bricks made out of crystalWhile he was countin the greenI seen nothin but strainers, containers, scales and rocks on a triple beamPeople was too afraid to stick him upBecause he had the most notorious brothers to come and pick him upWhen I reached ten years oldI never recalled seein any more money and drugs in the householdCause now pops was on his feetAnd to keep us from gettin hurt he kept his dirt in the streetAnd if he tried to attack, your family's wearin blackbecause he just got your death, put on a contractAnother sucker to rubEven my mother's walkin around packin a .357 snubAnd many cops dropped deadI seen a man pull out a pistol and blow off an undercover's headCause it's hard to get byAnd that's why, when you're young in the streetsyou gotta live and let dieSome say this ain't the life to chooseRage is snapped away you get a page in the Daily NewsBut I just wanna get paid offCause if I was workin a regular nine to five I'd get laid offSome people say, sellin weight, is a death dateBut I can't wait, to set up shop, in the next stateI ain't worried bout a brother tryin to take minesCause my plot comes with a hundred shot ninePolice are right on my heelsBut I'm always one step ahead of the punks makin dope dealsThey can't stop me cause I'm properAnd if they ever try to raid they better bring choppers or helicoptersI broke a lot of punks ribsDumpin they bodies in lots, then I ran and shot up the cribsBecause a brother ain't fakin itIf there's a record for killin the most niggaz then yo I'm breakin itI wish a brother would flexI spray him up and then take all of his money and give his girl sexThat's how I'm livin in the streetYou either give a sucker two in the head, or you'll be dead meatI'm sendin punks six feet deepAnd gettin money in lumps, cause this ain't Twenty-One Jump StreetYou wanna stop what I supplyAiyyo, the hell with that, I gotta live and let diePolice, police! Everybody down, everybody down!Don't *****ing move, get down! *beep beep*Hey, where is everybody? *Beep Beep*Look, there's nobody here *BEEP BEEP BEEP*What's that *****ing noise? *BEEP BEEP BEEP!*It's a bomb, it's a bomb, let's goGet the ***** out of here! *flatline sound*You gotta live and let die *explosion*Forget all that bullshit about savin the soulSome chump'll pump your ass full of bulletholesSo I'm out to make a killinAnd all you suckers are chillin cause I ain't just an ordinary villainI got a rep for mass murderIf you look bigger, I just pull the trigger, a female I just hurt herI got the .38 longBut a dame can get the same if she's comin out of her mouth wrongAnd if you try to oppose thisnext time you see your mother she'll be covered with rosesIt ain't about a fair fightBecause I only get open for smokin suckers in daylightAnother punk bites the dustCause I just bust blood out your butt like pusThe broke life I ain't missinBecause now I got a lot, and that's more than a pot to piss inAnd if I'm sellin you ki'sJust put the G's on the bed, and then go head and take a freezeAnd while you're numbin your tongue with the yum yumI pull out a gun, cause I want every last crumbI put a slug in your faceThen I waits to start packin the trap back in the suitcaseAnother punk had to fryI don't want to do it but yo I gotta live and let die"Earlier this morning, five cops were killedand six were wounded in a raid gone bad.Police have no leads.
