AHMAD JONES:
Look here, I can't afford to pause / and I do not sleep /
still buyin' all my draws up at the Swap Meet / I'm makin'
lots of doe / but funny how I'ma spend it / I don't need new
clothes / just property with tenants / and I don't know no
jokes / I'm not about no play / love for all my folks that's
poor in South L.A. / I'm from the slums of life / didn't
have a pot to put it / that's why I love this mic and how I
got so good at / bussin' all these flows and bussin' all
these tracks / we gon' get some gold / get us some platinum
plaques / (I heard that) / money talk I stay fluent with /
busters can't ruin it / cause we straight doin' it /
BIG!!!
CHORUS:
Big. Huge. Monumental / stretched out four door Continental
/ enough for me plus all my kin folk / that's how we rollin'
that's how we roll (2X)
TENA JONES:
They love when I rhyme / my flow is divine / I ain't the one
ta' / get caught up in this jungle / sometimes it make me
wonder / How Wall Street all eat good and my hood hungers? /
But we makin' it escapin' these snakes like Anaconda / Big.
Huge. / through payin' our dues/ Now Avenue is takin' over
we ain't playin' with fools/ or playin' with crews / you
dudes must have got it confused / Tena Jones paper chasin'
Mama need some new shoes/ We do it BIG!
CHORUS
COFFEE:
To the homie Mod, Tena / the lineage of Jones / known for
sown seeds / don't get it twisted we break bones / uproot
from homes / take the cutest / turn 'em into trolls and
gnomes / so far fetched, so far gone / the very same blood /
through them and Grits of course it's / and since we share a
spirit / make sense combine the forces / no time to sort our
loses / (they shootin') / we rhythmically inclined /
cataclysmically in time to be defined the bosses
BONAFIDE:
I got a Jones for a hit / so I'm swervin' the block / on 4th
Ave cause I know they got them bricks that rock / my boy MOD
hit us off with some heat to speak on / the average M.C.
need weed to be gone / monumental life forms, who twice born
/ and write poems / in clubs makin' thugs throw forearms /
in the dirty, dirty / mid south, Tennessee, Nashville /
Grits legendary spitters fo'sheez
CHORUS
AHMAD JONES:
We all just wanna be loved I guess / yes, that's why I stay
until A.M. / makin' hits that oughtta be subbed / oughtta be
dubbed one of the best / I'm ill / every D.J. who real
should bang it / this one oughtta be clubbed / love when I'm
rubbed the wrong way / so some offend me / dismissed by many
/ my Christmas spent in the lab / pen and pad while they sip
Cris' and Henny / I write these life lessons and spit just
what's in me / be big like Dikembe / here to Japan is what
my plan is / put money right where my hand is / ghetto
brothas who po' can understand this / and folks survivin'
off just bread and mayonnaise / I be wonderin' who's uncle
Sam is? / Cause in South Central L.A. we barely can live / I
hand picked my squad only a few in it / label tried screwin'
it / we survived doin' it, BIG!!!
CHORUS
