Firehouse GZA (Ft. Ka)

[Verse 1: Ka]
My life rest in a .45, aim for the head, chest fortified
Sons look for revenge, out of stress, daughters cry
Gotta do it here, can't afford to try
Thought the gutter ended in the 'Ville, then I saw the 'Stuy
They get wet daily, it's a live nigga water ride
Slow and steady win the race, step aside, let the tortoise by
It's the hunted man, street value hundred grand
Instinct, nothing planned, been through shit you couldn't understand
Cain, Hec, and Dawuan - I'm repping the lifeless
Weapon of crisis, guns run out, I'm steppin' in
Checkin' for secondary devices, live in the real world
Fuck bitches, get love from a real girl, raised my sister
Amongst the slime and the crime, now she a ill pearl
You never seen nothing like me, I'm for those who get it on nightly
You need a boost of strength, put it on, recite me
I tour with toast, cuz drama's always close
Feeling the waves, kill the praise, applaud my folks
From the core, the most raw, absorb the quotes
For sure I'm the cure, and there's more of the dose
Yeah, I'm from the bottom but I look forward to gross

[Hook: GZA (Ka)]
In the gutter, some ride, some chill (some chill)
I'm from the gutter, some 'Stuy, some 'Ville (some 'Ville)
Know many brothers, some cry, some build
Word to the mother, some lie, some steal (steal)
Some get popped, some die, some heal (some heal)
Some get knocked, some hide and some real
(Some even bust shots, some live, some kill)
(But that's gutter where Ka and them chill)
