[Lil Fame]
Take minks off! Take things off!
Take jeans off! Take rings off!
Blaze cats that yap, Fame came off!
[Ante Up!] Everything off!
Fool what you want, we stifling fools
Fool what you want? Your life or your jewels?
The rules, [buck ´em down!] Next thing, [buck ´em down!]
Respect mine we Brooklyn bound, [bound!] now, [now!]
[Billy Danze]
Brownsville, home of the brave
Put in work in the street like a slave
Keep a rugged dress code, always in this stress mode
[That will send you to your grave] So?!
You think I don´t know that? [BLOW!]
Nigga hold that! [BLOW!] Nigga hold that! [BLOW!] Nigga hold that!
From the street cousin, you know the drill
I´m nine hundred and ninety nine thou short of a mil
{Hook:}
Ante Up!
Yap that fool!

It´s the perfect timin, you see the mad shinin
Get up off them goddam diamonds!
Huh!

Get him, get him, get him!
Hit him, hit him, hit him!

[Lil Fame]
Them thugs you know, aint friendly
Them jewels you rock, make ´em envy
You thinkin it´s all good, you creep through a small hood
Goons trippin about a cuff and your goods and they all should
Ante Up! Yap that fool!
You want big money, kidnap that fool!
If you up in the club, back out your pis-tal money
Catch them fools at the bar for that Cristal money
[Billy Danze]
The ´87 stick up kids, [what you niggas sayin?]
Get the fuck up out that 740 shorty I aint playin
It´s flash that thang time, [bang] bang time
Ante Up! Nigga, it´s game time
Hand over the ring, take over the chain
Gimme the fuckin watch before I pop one in your brain
Stop playin these childish games with me
Representin 1 7 1 8, dangerously, nigga!
{Hook:}
Ante Up!

[Lil Fame]
I´ma, street regulata, true playa hata
Get back down, make your ass a mack spraya hata
Things that we need, money, clothes, weed indeed
Hats, food, booze, essentials, credentials
Code of the streets, owners who creep
Slow when you sleep, holdin the heat
Put holes in your jeep, respect the streets
It´s the L I L F A M, [M!] E, [E!]
[Billy Danze]
Yeah nigga Danze, gave you a chance
Cuz I blazed your man, I´m in the wrong
He said he was true,
I had reason to believe he had some shit up his sleeve all along
[So?] Fuck you your honor! Jetline persona!
I´m strong enough for Old Gold and marijuana!
I´ma do what I wanna, crime is kept
[Raise hell!] Til I was tired of stress, yes lord!
{Hook:}

Hunt you down nigga, run your ass down
Unleash the hounds til them niggaz´ll gun your ass down (STOP IT)

And if you want your shit back you had to PAY for that shit!

Even the shirt off your back, nigga RUN THAT TOO
[Remi Martin]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I catch you backstage, give me the keys to the Escalade
You think you cute hoe? Take off them Gucci shades

Yo yap that fool, cause I don´t know money!
For my peeps that hate slow money; I put them in the industry
so they can come and take - all your money
{*brief sample of "It´s So Hard"*}
Wish I could bring Pun back

On the streets with a death wish
Don´t hide when you see me, I´m on the guestlist
[M.O.P.] ANTE UP!!
[Lil´ Fame]

Hit him (hit him) hit him, flash the tech
Yap your chain, smash the lens in your specs
Listen.. it´s, Lil´ Fame right?
With that Brownsville mentality to Shanghai
[Billy Danze]
Hey yo I´m firin out a coppertop city, with a whole empire
A clip full of blue-tips and a hand full of FIYAHH!
Eat deep dirt nigga (YEP)
It´s Berk´ I put in work until it hurt nigga (STEP)
Easy out the truck punk, ´fore I leave your ass leakin
I´ma bang til the springs in this thang start squeakin
Die cocksucker, boom BAP boom BAP
