Affirmative Action.

[AZ the Visualiza]
Yo, sit back relax catchin contacts, sip your cog-nac
And let's all wash this money through this laundry mat
Sneak attack, a new cat sit back, worth top dollar
In fact, touch mines, and I'll react like a Rottweiler
Who pull the late, we play for high stakes at gunpoint
Catch em and break, undress em tie em with tape, no escape
The Corleone, fettucini Capone
Roam in your own zone or get kidnapped and clapped in your dome
We got it sewn, The Firm art of war is unknown
Lower your tone, face it, homicide cases get blown
Aristocrats, politickin daily with diplomats
See me I'm an official mack, Lex Coupe triple black

Two years, waits up
Still sleep, wake up

Mind right, cake up
Friends came, friends left

Maybe just my love died
Sober, still above high
Slugs fly, eyes up, dry but still a thug cries

Actually the beginning of Ras Kass' album Institutionalized is VERY strong. I had been anticipating a Ras Kass album for years and then he drops these lines:

N*ggas thought I'd get out, kicking knowledge like Buns in Belly (?)
Fuck that! Came out bombin first like Makaveli
