What do you think bout dis one?

I play hard for nine innings dressed in fine linen

Cause pussy is the best next thing besides winning

All the positions I've been in couldn't explain how I'm living

My vision my intuition has risen

Here take a listen

I'm hitting

Up to bat with precision

See I'm back in the kitchen

Slinging crack to these pigeons

For the fact that I'm driven

My linebackers is blitzing

Send you packing, good riddance

Trapped in this prison where snakes and rats is forbidden

Keep my gun hitting niggas is bitches signing petitions

And they providing convictions

See I survive through the system under the livest conditions

My riders ride on a mission, for snitching

You get your back blown right out of commission

You'll be missing like them crazy Christians and swimming with all the fishes

Your misses will come and visit your body with hugs and kisses

Now tell me is that nutritious we party with chips and liquors

Your wizzes is coming with us for real kid they bought me presents

The difference is this is business big biscuits big figures

We click on religious niggas for acting too superstitious

Move cause the Coupe is vicious

Shoot if you want your wishes to blow

See Trife in the Bentley with a group of bitches
 
My personal favorite, Nas 3rd verse on streets disciple... his flow on that beat was damn incredible

Plug the mics up, I'm ready to rock

Knocking, reminiscing of measuring pots of pyrex, cook in the kitchen

Captain hook to these infants, it's like my boys is still on the benches

Surrounded by villains and henchmen, was a killer convention

1991 son, gold fronts on the facial, gun butt by the naval

The cypher would blaze a few laced up with embalming fluid, rhyming to music

All this time fighting bout how cane and rakim would do it

Seemed impossible to us, that we could ever leave from the block

Where the world was forever freezing

Hell if I let them shovel me, son, in this cell again

Fuck these devil policemen

Plush leathers, I need them, risking my freedom

Burners in bubble coats, fuck a sermon from the neighborhood pope

He's sexing hoes, old fart, he's busting ones when he strokes

Multi colored pelle pelle's, young stretch mark bellies

Babies born in the cycle, future disciples

Talib got the wrong 3Stacks verse on his list .......

It should be 3Stacks verse from "Art of Storytelling, Pt.1":

[Andre Benjamin]

Now Suzy Skrew had a partna named Sasha (Sasha), Thumper (Thumper)

I remember her number like the summer

when her and Suzy yeah they threw a slumber - - party

but you can not call it that cause it was slummer

Well it was more like spend the night

Three in the morning yawnin dancin under street lights

We chillin like a villain and a nigga feelin right

in the middle of the ghetto on the curb, but in spite

all of the bullshit we on our back starin at the stars above

(aww man) Talkin bout what we gonna be when we grow up

I said what you wanna be, she said, "Alive" (hmm)

It made me think for a minute, then looked in her eyes

I coulda died, time went on, I got grown

Rhyme got strong, mind got blown, I came back home

to find lil Sasha was gone

Her mamma said she with a nigga that be treatin her wrong

I kept on singin my song and hopin at a show

that I would one day see her standin in the front row

But two weeks later she got found in the back of a school

With a needle in her arm, baby two months due, Sasha Thumper
 
And Cube's verse needs to be switched out for his 3rd (and last verse) on "My Summer Vacation" :

BOOM - my homie got shot he's a goner black

St. Louis niggaz want they corner back

Shooting in snowy weather

It's illegal business, niggaz still can't stick together

Fuckin police got the four-one-one

that L.A. ain't all, surf and sun

But we ain't thinkin 'bout the boys

Feudin, like the Hatfields and McCoys

Now the shit's gettin tricky

Cause now they lookin for the colors and the Dickies

Damn, the spot's gettin hot from the battle

About to pack up and start slangin in Seattle

But the NARCs, raid about six in the morning

Try to catch a nigga when he's yawnin

Put his glock to my chest as I paused

Went to jail in my motherfuckin drawers

Tryin to give me, fifty-seven years

Face'll be full of those tattooed tears

It's the same old story and the same old nigga stuck

And the public defender ain't givin a fuck

The fool must be sparkin

Talkin about a double life plea bargain

You got to deal with the Crips and Bloods by hand G

Plus the Black Guerilla Family

And the white pride don't like no side

And it's a riot if any more niggaz die

No parole or probation

Now this is a young man's summer vacation

No chance for rehabilitation

Cause look at the motherfuckin years that I'm facin

I'ma end it like this cause you know what's up

My life is fucked
