Grew up on the south side Harlem streets
And the pavement never moved underneath my feet
I just stand there, pull out a glock, get violent
Make anyone who stands in my way get silent
Drop a few slugs inside their brain
Make it rain, make it rain, make it rain, make it rain
I deliver the pain, I don't play any games
I just do what I need to build my rep and my fame
I put a flag in these streets and I stake my claim
They belong to Ric Rib, so remember the name

Step off, step off
These streets is mine
Are ya blind
Can't you read any of these signs
Ric Rib own these streets on which you step
Best watch your next move and don't forget my rep

I'm movin and pushin this rock in high volume
When I leave here I'll pretend that I never saw you
Ya do me wrong, double cross, I'll become irate
And I'll come after you in a vicious explosive tirade
Drop a few bombs on your crack house
Make you drop bombs all up in your trousers
I make flames you can't dowse, as quietly as a mouse
Look at what you have aroused are you happy now?
You better leave these streets and get outta this town
If you don't I'll bring your mother, your sister and all your brothers down

Step off, step off
These streets is mine
Are ya blind
Can't you read any of these signs
Ric Rib own these streets on which you step
Best watch your next move and don't forget my rep

I'm a gun runnin, drug dealin, gut spillin, pure terror
I'll make you an example if you ever make an error
Steal from me, go on, do it just see what happens
I'll kill ya fool and it'll go in all my next rappins
Knife ya three times in ya midside
Ain't no place in this town where you can hide
Your sins I cannot abide, I'll get you outta your mind
The killed position has been filled for which you've duly applied
Errybody see this sucka now, Layin' dead right here on the frozen ground?
It means I'm inducted to the hall of fame
These streets is owned by Ric Rib, so remember the name

Step off, step off
These streets is mine
Are ya blind
Can't you read any of these signs
Ric Rib own these streets on which you step
Best watch your next move and don't forget my rep
