== Lyrics (excerpt) ==
...Forté, Praswell.
Nah mean the streets are gettin' a little crazy...
Looka looka looka looka looka
Looka looka here, looka shorty got back
Should I ask her for a dance?
Hold on there's too many in the wolf pack
And besides, Dirty Cash talkin' to her
Buyin' her fake furs and takin' her to the Fever
Quiet as it's kept, that ain't even his Benz
She spends his franklins at the malls with her friends
Material girl, livin' in a material world
But it's all right, 'cause its Saturday night
So Mister Funkmaster, pump the Bee Gees
And all you college students playing ouijas
Check the spelling, R E-F-U-G-E-E,
Get the CD from Sam Goody, hee hee
You ain't even close wit the rhymes that you wrote
Don't be mad cause you broke
Let me clear my throat, ah huh, ah huh
John Forté, grab the mic, let's sway this way
I'm more than just a rhymer, you still a small timer,
Hoping that the game treat that ass a little kinder
Every step 'd, your beef don't concern me
I'm eating mangoes in Trinidad with attorneys
My crew's slang flow worldwide like a current
With the every spot where nobody got insurance
Brother, do the math, you ain't half near exotic
My man's claim true, you? Forget about it
Po-po just a nuisance, like my influence
Well, recognize you a lie tryin' do it
Got juice, told your lady – oops, we Nutz Baby
Smooth and charismatic automatic, you gonna save me
God bless the day that my sons survive
We strive to teach the youth baby, and stay alive
Refugee Camp
Nutz Baby
John Forté
Yo watch your lady
Yo watch your lady
Eh ah
Special ill rhyme, Dirty Cash
Yo, if you got more than a dollar in your pocket right now put your hands up
Yo yo
You can tell by the way I roll, shorty,
That I'm a ladies man, a business man
Condos down the shore
Multi-million pension plans
But it ain't in my plan to make moves without the fam
I keep it intact, yo Clef, do the track
John play the mack, while I pay the tax
Business as usual, watchin' suspects
Steal my assets, get cut with Gillettes
We built this concept
Connect like NYNEX
Drinks at the bar, my American Express
Yo I cook up, cook up, the copper pull up pull up
Then I cuff up cuff up you, who's callin' bluff?
Now you shook up, shook up, 'cause you lock up, lock up
When I love up, love up you, who's callin' bluff?
Hey yo John is chillin', Dirty Cash dealin'
What more [...]
