Your simple words just don’t move me…
You’re minor, we major.
You all up in the game and don’t deserve to be a player.

These ante meridiem cats, insomniacs…
Four in the mornin’ we throwin back some Cognac juice.

Prodigy, “Give It Up Fast,” from Mobb Deep’s Hell On Earth, 1996

I used to be in love with this bitch named E&J,
Don’t fuck with her no more, now I fuck with Tanqueray.
Tanqueray introduced me to her first cousin Gold,
Last name was English and the first name Olde.

Prodigy, “Drink Away the Pain (Situations),” from Mobb Deep’s The Infamous, 1995

You not cut from the same cloth, you chinchilla soft,
I’m Brillo Pad coarse…take your skin off.
You rub me the wrong way,
You a suit and tie nigga…P hoodie all day.

Take these words home and think it through;
Or the next rhyme I write might be about you.

Prodigy, “Shook Ones, Pt II”, from Mobb Deep’s The Infamous, 1995

I got lots of love for my crew, that is;
No love for them other crews and rival kids.
All them out-of-town niggas know what time it is,
And if they don’t? They need to buy a watch, word up.

When the slugs penetrate, you feel a burning sensation,
Gettin’ closer to God in a tight situation.

The sunset looks beautiful over the projects…
What a shame, it ain’t the same where we stand at.
If you look close, you can see the bricks chipped off.
Sometimes niggas miss when they lick off.

Gettin closer to God in a tight situation.
