Aiyyo calm down, fall back

Y'all Queensbridge always fightin' up in here

Ladies and gentlemen

We got Queensbridge finest up in this mothafucker tonight

They just came from war

They wanna let you know a little somethin' about where they come from



The-the-the bridge, Queensbridge, the-the-the bridge

The-the-the bridge, Queensbridge, the-the-the bridge

The-the-the bridge, Queensbridge, the-the-the bridge

The-the-the bridge, Queensbridge



You love to hear the story, again and again

About a rap dynasty that just won't end

The monument, still in your face

Niggas played out, Shan still in the place



Hip hop was set out in the dark

The bridge was never over, we left our mark

This jam is dedicated to you and your boys

I brought my Queensbridge thugs to kill that noise



If you was an out of towner, had to know somebody wit strength

You know the drill, shit was real, fuck around, got killed

You know the hill breed of thugs, death to those that squeal

Squeezin' them slugs, one love to thugs that died in the field



So many names, don't got time to spit 'em

But through my rhymes they livin', we the bridge through tracks I'm givin'

Never lose sight, 41st side's my life

The 40th side of life, dunn we keepin' it tight



Yo, it ain't just the music

Group aspirations or ghetto illusions

It's the product, east side and all the beautiful children

And unleashed dreams comin' through each buildin'



If you sleep, you better wake up, as you see

Mega more mature, I'm on a record wit nature

Mind on my paper, nine in my waist, there's no denyin' the greatness

Queensbridge, never try to disgrace it



Aiyyo the Queensbridge associations breeds similarity

Bricked up, chipped off rocked out salaries

Pull out long guns, pop out casualities

It's like I gotta see a thug nigga ill as me



The ill will in me, I rep that willingly

Step back enemies, death tracks feelin' me

Six blocks, losin' my mind, runnin' from D's

These P's got me usin' my nine, I pop off



Y'all know the place where stars is from

Every night it sparks off and the crowds'll run

We leave chicks strippin' over strollers

(Slippin' sova)

In queens, you be the victim till you get to know us



Your hood's bogus, my hood be keepin' it crunk

So much be jumpin' off, I ain't sleep in a month

Y'all can play the front line, I be deep in the cut

Drive through, you can't peep it enough, you in the bridge nigga



You must pay homage to my projects, we thorough to the end

Only jail and death divide us from rap to the crack suppliers

Out of towners get knocked off, we regulate blocks laws

I had the hood like watts flooded wit cop force



Q.B. to the cracks in the pavement

Mister everything that [Incomprehensible] pool for stacks in a basement

Niggas understand the drama we bring

The legacy, dynasty upholdin' the ring where Q.B. is King, what



Yo for you I take a fifth to the head till I url

Boomerang dunn, Q.B. bust they gun

Keep them P.C. niggas on the run, one

Mahti specialist, 2-5 the nemesis



The last verse, "T O N Y" remember this

Resurrect through the birth of my seed, crime genetic

You synthetic, your gangsta's cosmetic

I move niggas telekinetic, who wanna set it



Yo yo move

Me and my dogs comin' through

We the grain, go against us you feel pain

Get ranked on, we beat niggas numb

These niggas is dumb, you can't resist my dunns



2001 we still thump, the fuck happened to ya'll?

We like that snowball, goin' downhill

We get large, you get bullets lodged

In your jaw, your ribs, your arms



We party hard at the bar

Buyin' bottles of overpriced styles and Remy Mar

The head niggas in charge

We number one, Q.B. there's no competition



Infamous records, bars and hooks listen

Littles Noyd and mega

We independent, dunn we infamous mobbin'

Gog nitty and twin in

The ill will bravehearts, L.E.S. millennium



Yo blow faces, fo-fo blazes, no one's safe

This music mogul rollin' wit a hundred soldiers

Gangstas we postal

Oh you didn't, wanna know whose life was written



The life I'm livin', the ice the women

The kites that sendin' to lifeless biddin'

The streets to prison, I touch you then buck you

Heats be spittin', laser, A.R. fifteen doors come down

Jaws is broke, your whole crew is coffin' bound



Your hoe, your man, Lieutenant, your boss get found

This dough I got, I spend it and toss around

New York, it's time we flip it, where you from?

Ladies, it's time we flip it, where you from?



Now tell me who was the true thugs in videos first?

Who had the projects behind us, who bit it the worst?

We from the largest project, yo the biggest on earth

Queensbridge know they history, left y'all cursed 'cuz



Keep on rockin' the bridge and keep rockin'

If the beats stop rockin', the bridge'll keep rockin'

Keep on rockin' the bridge and keep rockin'

If the beats stop rockin', the bridge'll keep rockin'



Keep on rockin' the bridge and keep rockin'

If the beats stop rockin', the bridge'll keep rockin'

Keep on rockin' the bridge and keep rockin'

If the beats stop rockin', the bridge'll keep rockin'
