Mo’ Money, Mo’ Murder (Homicide) Lyrics
[Part 1]
[Intro]
We'd be bigger than the Jews, bigger than the Irish
You can run the whole fucking country
You could be the next John D. Rockerfeller
Nobody noticed us, nobody gave a shit
But the bigger we get
The more we're taking from other people
[Verse 1: Nas]
Yo, in a mahogany, black scenery
That was lightning and rain drops
I'm tied up in a basement cocaine spot like Bangkok
I'm blindfold, Vietnam type mind control, this torture
His accent sounds like the rarest culture
Asking me, my atrophy stabbing me gradually
Says his attribute was satanic, masonic, ironic
I felt reminded of my fast life ventures and winters
Blind until the flashlight enters
[Verse 2: AZ]
Yo, dunn, before the sunset
Call connect, get all the TECs
I'm vexed, this nigga sold for sex
Lost respect, let's off his neck
My caliber got me thinking on a higher algebra
See, me, I'm just as foul as ya, but you ain't got no style in ya
I'm into bigger cheddar, Gs and better
Armarettos, Armani sweaters
Plus, these crabs could never dead us
[Intro]
We'd be bigger than the Jews, bigger than the Irish
You can run the whole fucking country
You could be the next John D. Rockerfeller
Nobody noticed us, nobody gave a shit
But the bigger we get
The more we're taking from other people
[Verse 1: Nas]
Yo, in a mahogany, black scenery
That was lightning and rain drops
I'm tied up in a basement cocaine spot like Bangkok
I'm blindfold, Vietnam type mind control, this torture
His accent sounds like the rarest culture
Asking me, my atrophy stabbing me gradually
Says his attribute was satanic, masonic, ironic
I felt reminded of my fast life ventures and winters
Blind until the flashlight enters
[Verse 2: AZ]
Yo, dunn, before the sunset
Call connect, get all the TECs
I'm vexed, this nigga sold for sex
Lost respect, let's off his neck
My caliber got me thinking on a higher algebra
See, me, I'm just as foul as ya, but you ain't got no style in ya
I'm into bigger cheddar, Gs and better
Armarettos, Armani sweaters
Plus, these crabs could never dead us
[Chorus: AZ]
Mo' money, mo' murder, mo' homicide
You catch that body, nigga? Better have that alibi
You never know, it might just be your time, you take your ride
To them pearly white gates, watch that suicide
Mo' money, mo' murder, mo' homicide
You catch that body, nigga? Better have that alibi
You never know, it might just be your time, you take your ride
To them pearly white gates, watch that suicide
[Verse 3: AZ]
Now, government official got you sippin' Cristal in crystal
You fish, you foul, so you fell and took your fam with you
I'm out to get you, guaranteed every shell will hit you
Plus, I'm on some shit too, laying down whosoever with you
Mafiosa, the New York City '90s era Sosa, AZ
You know my culture, now my wolves is out to ghost ya
[Verse 4: Nas]
Scent of a rose on a graveyard for real now
The stakes is up a half a mill now
I tried to grab him with his shield down
Four walked in, they crazy paid up, sharp but straight up
Gators from Barbados, never seen nobody play those
Lay-Low's what they called him, his head baldin'
Sippin' cappuccino, spilled on his silk suits, was scaldin'
Laugh was vulgar, canvas paintings of the Ayatollah
And on his arm, he wore a priceless vulture
Tobacco pipe smoker, Escobar, your life is over
Justify the righteous nova, bullets flew out his right shoulder
Corpse leaving a foul odor
The Firm Vol. 1 adjourned, bring it to a closure
Mo' money, mo' murder, mo' homicide
You catch that body, nigga? Better have that alibi
You never know, it might just be your time, you take your ride
To them pearly white gates, watch that suicide
Mo' money, mo' murder, mo' homicide
You catch that body, nigga? Better have that alibi
You never know, it might just be your time, you take your ride
To them pearly white gates, watch that suicide
[Verse 3: AZ]
Now, government official got you sippin' Cristal in crystal
You fish, you foul, so you fell and took your fam with you

Mo' money, mo' murder, mo' homicide

Mo' money, mo' murder, mo' homicide
You catch that body, nigga? Better have that alibi
You never know, it might just be your time, you take your ride
To them pearly white gates, watch that suicide
[Verse 5: Nas]
So now ya rollin' with us like co-defendants, no phony business
So know the difference from supreme soloists
Its styles ancient as Moses' scriptures
It's Latin Kings, Black Kufis, and white justice amongst us
Crime invades the minds of youngsters
Where it's pitch black, they can't see you
Godfather III — four left for dead in a cathedral
[Verse 6: AZ]
Now you're forced to listen
I got the mind of a grad from Princeton
Play your position, or soon you'll be lost and missin'
It's far from fiction, my presence is like that of a Christian
With ammunition, puttin' states under submission
Street addiction got me tied in thorough with boroughs
Still in the ghetto, but in the cut where it's mellow
Incognito, on the lee-low, like Carlito
‘Cause we know niggas don't really want us to see dough
You never know, it might just be your time you take your ride
To them pearly white gates, watch that suicide
Mo' money, mo' murder, mo' homicide
You catch that body, nigga? Better have that alibi
You never know, it might just be your time, you take your ride
To them pearly white gates, watch that suicide
Mo' money, mo' murder, mo' homicide
You catch that body, nigga? Better have that alibi
You never know, it might just be your time, you take your ride
To them pearly white gates, watch that suicide
[Verse 5: Nas]

Homicide, mo' homicide
Mo' suicide, mo' homicide
[Part 2]
[Intro]
Born alone, die alone
Born alone, die alone
Born alone, die alone
Born alone, die alone
[Verse: AZ]
All alone in this wilderness
Who could figure life as ill as this?
My vision's blurred from guerillas mist
Gun sprays, strays left a portion of my crew in graves
Niggas that would screw in ways unknown to these dudes today
Intelligence kept us all away from state evidence
‘Cause it's evident — this world is controlled on dead presidents
Never hesitant, I'm soulless, filled with coldness
Born to uphold this 'til I'm left dead from oldness
[Outro]
Born alone, die alone
Born alone, die alone
Born alone, die alone
Born alone, die alone
Born alone, die alone
Born alone, die alone
Mo' money, mo' murder, mo' homicide
You catch that body, nigga? Better have that alibi
You never know, it might just be your time, you take your ride
To them pearly white gates, watch that suicide
Mo' money, mo' murder, mo' homicide
You catch that body, nigga? Better have that alibi
You never know, it might just be your time, you take your ride
To them pearly white gates, watch that suicide
Mo' money, mo' murder, mo' homicide
You catch that body, nigga? Better have that alibi
You never know, it might just be your time, you take your ride
To them pearly white gates, watch that suicide
Mo' money, mo' murder, mo' homicide
You catch that body, nigga? Better have that alibi
You never know, it might just be your time, you take your ride
To them pearly white gates, watch that suicide
[Outro: Nas]
Homicide, mo' homicide
Mo' suicide, mo' homicide
[Part 2]
