Make No Mistake lyrics

[Intro]
You won't see nobody like me for like twelve other years
You see what they do all the time
I'm a different level, is you crazy?
You can't even coach my type of style
They style is regular

[Verse: billy woods]
It's easy for you, but it's hard for me
To forget the things we did 'cause we had to eat
At least that's what we said when we did the deed
Some lost they lives, some still ain't lose a wink of sleep
I said what I said, you can tell 'em you heard it from mе
I told a few lies in my time, but nеver once over a beat
Make no mistake
It's no more room inside the safe
It's safety in numbers
But brothers hatin' others
Patiently waiting for the day you make that and then you up out of here without a trace
Not a whole lot left to say
Unless you state your name when they start the tape (That part)
Hey, young fellow, here go another story 'bout back in the day
What's-his-name backed it out on Avenue A
Everybody back in the way
Stammering and stuttering, make no mistake
We flying, but my foot fluttering on the brakes
They cookie cuttering, I'm guilty too how I'm flipping Crime & Punishment and playing in they face (Mama, I'm so sorry)
I'm talking since it was Fat Joe, Big Pun and Triple Seis
Lord as my witness, I was squinting through a cloud of haze
Stutter, drop, dip, euro-step, when they say it's off-beat, that's when I know I got 'em on skates (I got 'em on skates)
Needle in the arm how he made his escape
People stay stuck in they ways
Who am I to judge? Blow me a dub 'fore I even wash my face
This system will take your ancestral traditions and twist 'em, indigenous mountain villages makin' coca paste
Still living hand-to-mouth, make no mistake
I never liked the guy, but gave him some grace
Only to find out I was right the first time, I hide everything in the rhymes, that's why I need it dark onstage
Make no mistake
[Refrain: billy woods]
What you should've did just sit on your shoulder
What you could've been haunts you as you get older
What you should've did just sit on your shoulder
What you could've been haunts you as you get older
What you should've did just sit on your shoulder
What you could've been haunts you as you get older

[Outro]
Baby Secret tells lots of secrets, so you'll never know what she'll say next
Hold me close and whisper
And she looks so real, the way her lips move like yours
I like to whisper in the dark
You can have fun keeping secrets together
What kind?
If we told, they wouldn't be secrets anymore
I know a secret, do you?
