[Intro: Raekwon the Chef]

(Can it be that it was all so simple then)
KnowhatI´msayin, take you on this lyrical high real quick
Nineteen ninety three exoticness
KnowhatI´msayin, let´s get technical
Where´s your bone at, get up on that shit aight
Yo!!

[Verse One:]

Started off on the island, AK Shaolin
Niggaz whylin, gun shots thrown the phone dialin
Back in the days of eight now, makin a tape now
Rae gotta get a plate now
Ignorant and mad young, wanted to be the one
Till I got (BAM! BAM!) thrown one
Yeah, my pops was a fiend since sixteen
Shootin´ that (that´s that shit!) in his blood stream
That´s the life of a crimey, real live crimey
If niggas know the half is behind me
Day one, yo, growin all up in the ghetto
Now I´m a weed fiend, jettin the Palmetto
In Medina, yo no doubt the God got crazy clout
Pushin the big joint from down South
So if you´re filthy stacked up
Betta watch ya back and duck
Cause these fiends they got it cracked up
Now my man from up north, now he got the law
It´s solid as a rock and crazy salt
No jokes, I´m not playin, get his folks
Desert Eagle his dick and put ´em in a yolk (AAH!)
And to know for sure, I got reck and rip shop
I pointed a gat at his mother´s knot
(Yo, Rae, don´t do that shit, man! Don´t do that shit! )
Fuck that

[Chorus]
[Raekwon] Dedicated to the winners and the losers
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
[Ghost Face Killer] Dedicated to all jeeps and land cruisers
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
[Raekwon] Dedicated to the Y´s, 850-I´s
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
[Ghost Face Killer] Dedicated to niggas who do drive-bys
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
[Raekwon] Dedicated to the Lexus and the Ax
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
[Ghost Face Killer] Dedicated to MPV´s phat!
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
[Raekwon] Nigguh, yeah, yeah!

[Verse Two: Ghostface Killer]

Yo!
Kickin the fly cliches
Doin duets with Rae and A, happens to make my day
Though I´m tired of bustin off shots havin to rock knots
Runnin up in spots and makin shit hot
I´d rather flip shows instead of those
Hangin on my living room wall
My first joint, and it went gold
I want to lamp, I want to be in the shade
Plus the spot light
Gettin my dick rubbed all night
I wanna have me a phat yacht
And enough land to go and plant my own sess crops
But for now, it just a big dream
Cause I find myself in the place where I´m last seen
My thoughts must be relaxed
Be able to maintain
Cause times is changed and life is strange
The glorious days is gone, and everybody´s doin´ bad
Yo, mad lives is up for grabs
Brothers, passin away, I gotta make wakes
Receivin all types of calls from upstate
Yo, I can´t cope with the pressure
Settlin for lesser
The god left lessons on my dresser
So I can bloom and blossom, find a new way
Continue to make hits with Rae and A
Sunshine plays a major part in the daytime
[Peace to mankind Ghostface carry a black nine, nigga
Word up
It´s on like that]
