Lloyd Banks - Transitions Lyrics
[Lloyd Banks:]
Can't claim that I'm changin', but you're trippin'
Kickin' that stupid shit so long, I start feelin' dumb when I listen
I had to get out of that position
I ain't got nothin' but real shit on my mind, and you're just fishin'
These [?] always complaining, just work hard through the bitchin
Arive right in your isle with a smirk, they support the vision
Collision and the system is designed to keep your mind in a prison
If you look a while, you'll find the wisdom
It's not in the media, infatuation with the television
Where's the love?
You done left all your principles in the club
Life hittin' you several times, guess it's hard to feel the pinch through the drugs
Is there exception for a thug?
Caught in the trap, but in creation perfect morning end up catchin' a slug
Duckin' trouble 24/7 and their only vacation is dusk
Fake love, gossip and hate, that's all they givin'
Gotta make it out this mo'fuckin' maze, cause that ain't livin'
Ain't no names out, anybody's for pickin'
Don't get caught up in the same route, runnin' ya mouth and out here slippin'
They ghetto talkin', you don't listen
Get your act together or there'll be somebody's nigga' missin'
Here's to makin' the transition
Money over everything, you see the vision?
Somewhere praying on your downfall like it works
Get in the cork inverb the energy before I write the verse
Thinkin' of ways to shade a nigga' spite rehearse
What is you waiting for? You find it hard to cross me, ice it first
I've been gone so long, look back I see dust
Went took the trust, banned from the circle here forever last time you'll be discussed
In this paper chase you won't pass mine, dyin' to rush
Turn on any [?] you're linked to, bet your family members lying disgust
Should have been ballin' but your team jumpin'
Put in the category of niggas that check for you when you need somethin'
Lookin' out for your broke ego, you're greed drunkin'
Don't nobody want you around really, relieved from it
Let it slide it gets worse, call him out on this shit he sorry
Usually his clique first, won't be joining your pitty party
Patience can't be found now, pushed it up to the limit probably
Waitin' in the wing still, shakey movin' forgive him, hardly
Fake love, gossip and hate, that's all they givin'
Gotta make it out this mo'fuckin' maze, cause that ain't livin'
Ain't no names out, anybody's for pickin'
Don't get caught up in the same route, runnin' ya mouth and out here slippin'
They ghetto talkin', you don't listen
Get your act together or there'll be somebody's nigga' missin'
Here's to makin' the transition
Money over everything, you see the vision?
[Joe Budden:]
Used to have voices in my head, that's cool
Cause the boy still here well fed, that's true
Mean that since truth's all that I had, gotta' carry that
When nothin' you propose or alter it, gotta' marry that
How we interpret that merge is all relative
I stand behind every word, we all relatives
Less made men, over a decade in
I'm from the days when lil' niggas got they chest caved in
See I left home and sleepin' in parks was like a meltin' pot
Ain't DM an ex it was dark baby and hell is hot
Black MPV was parked, used to yell it ah
Drive by, circle the block, check if he fell or not
Full of smokers in my polo pull-over
The day a nigga' scared to be dolo and pulled over
Cause they gats go ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Since I remember it all, I'm wantin' a flashback
Rest in peace Grandpa, I see him chillin, this flashback
Our times kinda' the same, it's tough to grasp that
No code of honor and they conduct
Alarmin' because seein' greevin' momas somber even Dalelama wish music was my escape
I was still naive, it was beautiful when this maze crucial to how we behaved
Just like concussion is brutal the way we slave
They don't tutor you to what it'll do to you at this stage, listen!
Fact sharing, I'm seein' no matter the scenes
Between a rock and a heart places are bad pairin'
I'm paranoid, plenty buy a couple feet and shit
Gettin' money is easy, the struggle's keepin' it
To all the hustlers in the world, whatever your muse is hustler music, a hustler's excuses, live!
Some think too small, they can't vision it
Don't even bother hittin my line, I'm transitioning
[Lloyd Banks:]
Fake love, gossip and hate, that's all they givin'
Gotta make it out this mo'fuckin' maze, cause that ain't livin'
Ain't no names out, anybody's for pickin'
Don't get caught up in the same route, runnin' ya mouth and out here slippin'
They ghetto talkin', you don't listen
Get your act together or there'll be somebody's nigga' missin'
Here's to makin' the transition
Money over everything, you see the vision?

Yo Banks if you see this, We need One more out you BroGod ill pay Top Dollar For that priceless Masterpiece!
#RottenApple2 #HFM3 #AON3 #BlueFriday
Cold Corners King PLK Queens NYC General lyrical Meds Machine One Don like Vybz Kartel Bars that ghetto Youths feel in the trenches
So I’m The Only Person That Realized Banks Verse Was About 50? Now That You Know Listen Again
Holy shit. Banks could give Jadakiss and the whole D block a run for their money. Only one fucking with banks in my opinion is G Rap.
Masterpiece
God MCs
I wanna hear this live on stage. Mainstream
I always enjoy revisiting music after time passes, it just gives you that feeling..
Classic!!!
Fackkk whenever i listen to this, I start listening to Banks all over again. This happens more than it should because I'm hungry for this type of music. Feed a brotha, Banks!!
I'm paranoid play me by a couple feet and shit getting money ain't nothing the struggles keeping it
Mr. BANKS underrated so much, for me he was the best lyrically in G unit
I play this song over and over trying to see it from Banks view this songs is soooo deep I think about the 2002 Banks then the Banks we have now.. people say he would of been bigger but you cnt place a legend in a box
we all know banks is flawless but doe pesci really hooked him up with this beat
Booth of my brothers killed this track....
#FACTS!!!!!!
Gas 👹👹👹👹
litty vibe.
Banks on Pac level might be even better
'Ain't DM an ex (DMX), it was dark baby and hell is hot'
damn budden is a legend
Lloyd banks is dope. But he also very lazy he never worked hard enough to lift his career. Biggie Smalls was hard working too.
50 cent made Lloyd banks period.
Lol says somebody who clearly never followed Banks throughout his career.
Anyone know if Joe Budden has spit over more beats like this?
A-NO Music literally 90% of his catalogue is just like this. Some would say that even though this is Bank’ song, it’s more of a Joe Budden type track.
Joe's Mood Muzik series.
this mixtape is so motivation
King told me Bodie I said alright bet niggas be shook so I'm really a threat , pussy ass bitches stay trynna get wet I know that's they best so aim at the neck( hook) Stay boding know niggas tierd of me do this for a imma make his ass proud of me this for the ones in the back that was doughting me know they gon be on my grip when wr outta here, Fuck it tho I just been on shmoney mode I don't need no come up from a bitch who like to fuck & hoe , rather be back in the hood where niggas duck and blow free that nigga q I just really miss my cuzin bro I came from hand me downs and you just a hand me feeling type hot and I think you need to fan me down thinking bout them run aroundsthat's not the way I'm living know honestly felling like the john cuz im shitting know
After this I think that im gone blow up female stay hating thank God for the glow upNo mercy for these niggas , cuz they die when I show up i don't have no friends cuz I can't ride for no no life's haaa. I'm back again with these bloody bars not repping but i got this shit from double R n-b-n-y that's a fucking star but be he don't get it that nigga caught up that's that fucking hard I hope my brothers doing good that's to Keith he got my mother out the hood , still I always wondered did those things happen cuz it could cuz blood thicker than water that's just how shit just came to book things left to be discovered and cuz I found out when I looked and stayed quited all ways been the type to think humble act violate cuz nobody had me when I way fucked up on my blind shit
They complement each other they make a good duo 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Clear if you listen close that entire 2nd verse is about 50!
Him & 50 my favorite rappers & I get where they both come from when speaking on one another..don’t know the dynamic of their relationship these days hope my niggas good tho.
I’m Tryna Think of One Super Odd Reason ANYBODY would Dislike this Song🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Who had who verse first ???? So did banks lay his down 1st then sent it to Joe or the outhway around.....
Still my fav banks/joe clash straight FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Still Dope!!!
Sometimes I wonder why Loyd banks doesn't have billion of views already ,this is real rap. Not no garbage like 6ix9ine garbage.
