Lyrics Dust & Powder - Jadakiss , Jim Jones

Y'all all invited
Welcome to the game as we know it (Dipset)
Where being lit is life (grab a seat)
It's the only race that never stops (that's a fact)
See I'm from Uptown, uh, like a fresh pair of Nikes
Let's put this all in perspective
Say that then, let me talk to 'em
(Heatmakerz, crack music)
Uhh (Jones)
Talking to a nigga that only sold dust and powder (we got it)
Fuck a bitch, use her for her crib just to shower (dirty)
Was just in Diddy crib, and I partied with Puff for hours (Puff, what up?)
'Til the light came up
Who said this life ain't us (facts)
Still pull to the block in a drop, tear a dice game up (save that)
Still shed a tear when I bring Light name up (Light, I miss you)
Cause I been poverty stricken, through the pain my heart took a whipping (uh huh)
Buy Rollies and wind 'em up and they still don't start ticking (tick, tick, tick, tick, tick)
I'm the bomb like something under the car ticking (boom)
Jeans out of Neimans (facts), coats out of Saks (fly nigga)
Hood nigga, still can turn coke into crack (whip game)
If beef is to smoking, where the smoke and all at?
If you haven't heard me speak then I spoken all facts (facts)
Told a bitch just chill, I'll call back (chill baby)
Wish God had a line in heaven to call Stack (stacks)
Black 9/11, Off Whites matching the ball cap, like
We Uptown (Harlem)
We got the foreigns on 7th going up and down (skrrt skrrt)
We spent 20 on bottles at Up and Down (East)
We cop watches from jewelers to bust 'em down, like (Harlem)
Yeah, we Uptown (we Uptown)
'Bout to hop on the jet, we touching down
Shit that was far fetched, there's nothing now
We just opened the pound we puffing now, like
You talking to a nigga that only sold dust and powder
K had the dippers (uhu), Gus had the sour (yeah)
Rule number one: never fuck with the cowards (never)
Nothing is mines (uh uh), everything is ours
High ceilings (yeah), art deco (mmm)
There's mad furniture, but you can still hear the echo (hear that)
Young wild nigga can't wait to let the TEC go
Come up off the chain 'cause he ain't gon' let ya neck go (haha)
No gimmicks (uh uh), straight image (yeah)
I'm a product of the heroin epidemic (mmm)
Some niggas got rich, others got apprehended (salute)
Some were street smart, others had academics (okay)
Big engines (yeah), major tranmissions (mmm)
Key to the tunnel was a major transition (haha)
Yeah, we was on a damn mission
150 bundles in the morning, man listen, what? (what?)
We Uptown
We got the foreigns on 7th going up and down
We spent 20 on bottles at Up and Down
We cop watches from jewelers to bust 'em down, like
Yeah, we Uptown
'Bout to hop on the jet, we touching down
Shit that was far fetched, there's nothing now
We just opened the pound we puffing now, like
Is it better to be loved or feared?
Super question, it's nice to be both, but it's very difficult
But if I had my choice, I would rather be feared
Fear more [?] than love
[?] with money mean nothing
[?] I make a joke everybody laughs
I know I'm funny, but I'm not that funny
It's fear that keeps them loyal to me
But the trick is not to be hated, that's why I treat my man good
But not too good
When I give them too much then they don't need me
I give them just enough where they need me
So they don't hate me
I forgot why I'm telling you
