(1st verse)
Levantore!
Yeah, it's just
ghetto, kid test the devil to hit the next
level
Wish they was a rebel with cerebral
metal
Inflex the bezzle with the peddle to the
metal
In a thug's paradise where love have a
price
So we love for life like thugs love the
night
They sell drugs for ice for the Benz
with bug lights
Some hug mics to the world,
hung like parasites
The likes lethal, the mics
lead you
A sneak preview, watch what we do and
what the hood teach you
I still see through
the eye of a needle
So I can watch people
cause slug backwards is evil

(2nd
verse)
Levantore!
Yo, what's this? Yo bust
this. Yo it's time to up lift
They think all
we do is bust clips and puff splifs
And plush
whips and clutch chips and touch chicks
Flont
rocks like Fort Knox and hog blocks
Taunt cops
with more props and we want not
Panhandling
with your mans and them
Scrambling, gambling,
plans to win
While the cops clock em, thieves
flock em
Women watch em, traders wanna top
em
Ay yo what's the problem
Before the
narcs knock em opposite playas plot to rob
em
The ghetto got em, my man said it's rough
at the bottom

(3rd
verse)
Levantore!
Ghetto alert, let's do
whatever work to get rid of the curse
We went
from 1st to America's worst
On this
competitive turf, now let's inherit the
earth
There's more prize for one another, and
call shots
12:00 til the next ball drop
All
year around plus they shuffle non stop
You
think it's rough at the bottom, it's even rougher
on top
My peeps gonna have to reach and turn
for me
And everybody's side of the street'll
be celly
Ain't nothing funny, burn plenty and
burn money
And earn money and watch the
century turn 20

(4th
verse)
Levantore!
We all should, from the
woods to the big city and the small
hood
Everybody should be welcome to the ball
if we all could,
But we fall cause we brawl,
yo it ain't all good
We need to play right,
stay tight with ya air alight
Keep your game
tight, no need to play trife
Get cheese from
the daylight to the late night
And it's
shouldn't take death to appreciate life
Before
a lot parish, we got to cherish if Allah let
us
Let's give prop and merits till the block
flourish
In this metropolis, stay on top of
this
You know what the prophet is, be
prosperous

(5th
verse)
Levantore!
Now we
networking
Respect the next person, it'll be
less hurting
Or left lurkin, while we kept our
dreads working
Connect set for certain, total
networking
Last chance to advance and stash
grands
If you have plans to have fam and mad
land
Own shine, condone crime or hold 9s
I
know what the problem is, killing our own
kind
To my flame throwers, train sober, remain
soldiers
Stay sane so these pretty dames can
hold us
Terror terrain rollers and Range
Rovers so the train goers
Claim your fame,
maintain, till your game's over

(6th
verse)
Levantore!
Ghetto alert, let's do
whatever work to get rid of the curse
We went
from 1st to America's worst
On this
competitive turf, now let's inherit the
earth
There's more prize for one another, and
call shots
12:00 til the next ball drop
All
year around plus they shuffle non stop
You
think it's rough at the bottom, it's even rougher
on top
My peeps gonna have to reach and turn
for me
And everybody's side of the street'll
be celly
Ain't nothing funny, burn plenty and
burn money
And earn money and watch the
century turn 20
Levantore!
