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)
Uh (Jones)

You 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)

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 the smoke, I want the smoke and all that
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 (uh)

We uptown (harlem)
We got the foreigns on 7th going up and down (skrrt, skrrt)
We spent 20 on bottles at up and down (easy)
We cop watches from jewelers to bust 'em down, like
Yeah, we uptown (we uptown)
'Bout to hop on the jet, we touching down (skrr)
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 (uh-huh), 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 here the echo (heat 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 (ha, ha)
Yeah, we was on a damn mission
A hundred and fifty 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 feard?
That's a good question
It's nice to be both, but it's very difficult
But if I had my choice, I will rather be feard
Fear last longer than love
Friendships that are bought with money means nothing
You see how it's around here, 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 being hated
That's why I treat my men good, but too good
I give too much, then they don't need me
I give just enough where they need me, but they don't hate me
Don't forget what I'm telling you
