Ghostface Killah
Rise of the Black Suits
[Verse 1]
Young aggressor born into the life of crime
I would walk down the street strapped with two nines
Bitch smackin', jackin' n***as, G-dub, stackin' figures
Police drive by, I was click-clackin' triggers
Jay DeLucas put me with the fam to grow
I was a boss amongst white boys rockin' the 'fro
I had hoes, bankrolls, and minks by the dozen
My rise to power was quick, they just wasn't
Tryna make me a made man, they fucked up the game plan
I blacked out on 'em and started my own clan
Black Gambino, black suits, the black syndicate
My crime fam was tight, every move was intricate
The coke was brought in from bad Colombian mules
Gorgeous women that I draped down in jewels
Street fights started mafia wars in Italy
Crime fam against fam and no one could do diddly

[Chorus]
Do the dirty work, bring in the coke by the boatloads
Go against the grain, n***a, I feed nose holes
Follow no family rules, rules are for fools
Chase the paper 'cause it's the cash that rules

[Verse 2]
Fuck the law of the fam, it's the law of the land
You don't like how I'm movin', then try to force my hand
I'm movin' keys, them DeLucas couldn't touch my pianos
Puttin' pressure on them Gambinis and Verrazanos
They love my money, they hate to see a n***a gettin' it
Sellin' drugs is taboo, but I ain't fuckin' sweatin' it
The dirt gotta get done, so I took my position
One day, I'm just Black Tone with a lot of ambition
Next, I got status, dinners with all courses
Flights in and out of the country, they gettin' nauseous
Money, power, respect, rise of the black suits
Talk shit behind my back, but to my face salute
Hugs and handshakes, they can't stop my reign
Got the coconut, pilots bringin' shit on the plane
It's a shame, they ain't have the balls to make moves
They pussies, couldn't walk a mile in my shoes
[Chorus]
Do the dirty work, bring in the coke by the boatloads
Go against the grain, n***a, I feed nose holes
Follow no family rules, rules are for fools
Chase the paper 'cause it's the cash that rules
Do the dirty work, bring in the coke by the boatloads
Go against the grain, n***a, I feed nose holes
Follow no family rules, rules are for fools
Chase the paper 'cause it's the cash that rules
