(Raekwon)

Guess who’s the black trump

(Steele,*Raekwon*)

I had to get some real professionals for the job, son
*numerous cats* word up
*that’s right* official niggas word up
*this is what you call * straight blazin' through what
Raise the roof is what we came to do *like hash browns*
Blazin' through, blazin' through *pass that African black gold over here*
Raise the roof is what we came to do
Blazin' through, blazin' through *you know how we rock*
Raise the roof is what we came to do *Smif-n-Wess n Lex set up shop*

(Steele)

Attack mode, time to strike like a cobra
Poisonous venom into your system killin' you slower
Than niggas wit blowers to your jugular
My brother’s keeper but I put my brother to sleep
If my brother try to creep up
You know my son, show respect when I’m rockin' the podium
Steam-rollin' on niggas, my team straight blowin' 'em
Got em throwin' they guns in the air like Onyx
Chef and Smif-n-Wessun crime shit, New York’s finest

(Raekwon)

Let me warn y’all killas upstairs
I seen all y’all, heavy like fuck, thinkin' my niggas might flaw y’all
Blow ya ammo, Shallah seen the God fly commando
Handle, gun on my leg, blow his hand off
I’m lookin' at you why, like fuck, you probably think I’m high
Seems luck, chain around my neck, bought it from Egypt
Me what? Hennesy drink, mahogany guns, we treezed up
Come out your shirt, buckle knees-up
This Casablanca rap nigga throw some cheese up
Let’s polly, slow-mo status, bring the keys up
Wonderin', runners is lookin' mighty feezed up
Right stupid, FBI sell em cheese guns

(Tek)

Make this money, niggas hold up guns
Armed full of licks, plus your dick, drop your ones
Baby need new shoes and a outfit
I see you stick-up kids, you came wit the dick lick
You see my set of twin-hitmen from Bushwick?
Two chicks wit the twenty-two tecs, bitch
You heard about em
Now open up the circle so the dice can breathe
Pay you double, if you triple, if you push you pay me

[chorus]

Gotta poly wit ya crew to stack ya loot up
Get your weight up, big up, pull ya boots up
If you step into the club wit your guns up
If the tension’s on your mind then raise the roof up
You gotta keep it in the fam, stack ya loot up
Get your weight up, big up, pull ya boots up
When you step into the club wit ya guns up
If the tension’s on your mind, then raise the roof up
Raise the roof up, raise the roof up
Never before we came to raise the roof up
Raise the roof up, raise the roof up
Still in all we came to raise the roof up

(Raekwon)

minolta flash

(Steele)

gun in the stash

(Tek)

rollin for mo’ hash

(Raekwon)

tek, why you slap fire out em, hold fast

(Tek)

these niggas gotta pay the hard way

(All)

three the hard way

(Raekwon)

allah swingin on em like a san diego padre

(Steele)

You heard what the God say, let’s start this
Professional marksman, swimmin' like killa sharks
We lethal and heartless
On point like a dart, bitch
Bomb your camp if you want this
Connect wit convicts on some don shit

(Tek)

And spread the camouflage cats to get the money in stat
Go to war like Sadaam if he pushes you that
Keep his movements discreet when he out in the streets
Had to stash built to high heat for those who creep

(Steele)

Ha, peep the ghetto bastards
Run in your crib like two masked men
I run wit a tec, and we ain’t askin', we blastin'
Chef brought the extra cannon from Staten
Rhyme official live broadcastin', makin' it happen

(Tek)

You gotta make power moves, black guns and cash rules
Hold my eight straight cuz I been payin' dues
Wave king from way back tryin' to make a mill stack
Miami money cats that leave you layin' down flat

[Chorus]

(Raekwon)*Steele*

It’s on again
Word up, put your hands down
Word up, this shit is multi
Y’all gonna see it, word up
Smif, Wess, Lex
*the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire*
From the projects, phony projects
Next!
*we don’t need no water, like the cocoa b’s burn
gotta poly wit your crew to stack ya loot up
get ya weight up, big up, pull ya boots up
when you step into the club wit the guns up
if the tension’s on your mind, then raise the roof up*

This is the long awaited Boot Camp Clik/Wu Tang Clan collaboration fans had been waiting for and it did not disappoint; this was one of the last B.C.C./Wu songs to be have heavy rotation on Hot 97. I remember Jermaine Dupri was a guest host on Hot 97 one afternoon and even he gave this song props. People used to blast this in their whips all the time also around here. The Heltah Skeltah and Method Man collaboration that came after this was ill also.

Black Trump is a hard song and I was watching the video today. Props to Smif and Wessun for sampling Raekwon's Incarcerated Scarfaces song when he said guess who's the black trump. I was very disappointed in Smif and Wessun's The Rude Awakening album because of bad beats. I only liked about 3 songs and Black Trump was one of them LOL. That sucks that they had to change their name to Cocoa Brovaz because they had a lawsuit against them by the gun company who sells smith and Wesson. I wonder how they were able to get Smif and Wessun name back because they changed their name back to that after The Rude Awakening album.
