N.C.
They say that people have a tendency
To never see the truth unless they pour it down
with Heineken or Hennessey
You‘re staring down barrel of a bottle and it‘s bittersweet
The business we attending to is this supremacy
I‘m that flickering greenlight
I‘m like liquor on a weeknight
I‘m the spirit of the city in the thick street of a fight
A book and a letter I‘m looking to get her
The bigger the better the sound
and it took me forever the borders were 
never so easy to break going down
