Lyrics

Yeah, yeah I'ma take niggas back, know what I'm saying? Sunday night, West Side Highway 27Th and 12th Avenue The notorious home of the jux, home of the robbery Home of the bodies The illest club in New York, The Tunnel Yo, let's take it back to The Tunnel Where the hoods will run up on you for the jux, son As soon as they play "Shook Ones," the wolves from Brooklyn Always roll deep, who shot ya? Somebody getting rocked to sleep Security make you take your Timbs off in the winter Had to walk through the metal detectors before you enter When you get inside, might be a homicide With that New York hip-hop, somebody might get shot This is where they snatch jewels, razors'll splash you Flex screaming out in the club, don't let 'em gas you Niggas taking pictures of money, you know, cash rules Bitches giving head in the unisex bathroom This is hell where the criminals dwell Half the goons in the club just came home from jail Other half couldn't come 'cause they couldn't make bail It's colder than the West Side, it ain't hard to tell In The Tunnel Let's take it back Let's take it back to The Tunnel Let's take it way, way back The Tunnel Let's take it back Let's take it back to The Tunnel Let's take it way, way back Posted up, goons ferocious, jewels cold as fuck Those who dream about scheming, we woke 'em up My Fort Greene niggas was born to squeeze triggers My Queens regime was at the bar deep chilling The Tunnel was the place for all the street niggas You know it's real, you could go in there See people you know from jail, home at last Holding stacks of dough in hand Moment of silence, Big L was always there And Chris Lighty ran The Tunnel, he was the man I seen Diddy by the bar out in "Shut It Down" Please believe, Free and Nitty didn't fuck around I walk the crowd with Timbs on because my style Is New York to the fullest, we don't bow All these dudes who want the crown are fucking clowns The Tunnel is proof, street niggas run this town Let's take it back Let's take it back to The Tunnel Let's take it way, way back The Tunnel Let's take it back Let's take it back to The Tunnel Let's take it way, way back Sticky niggas at The Tunnel's how I used to eat Soon as you set foot on that cobblestone street And this is the same spot where Hype shot Belly You could get popped, end up getting shot in your belly Come through stunting like your ass is bad You get juxed up, sent out in a plastic bag This the grimiest club in the whole city I'm talking stick-up kids, murderers, NYPD West Side and 27th down the block from the projects Just walk into The Tunnel, you get shot up and carjacked I party with killers, rapists and lifers If it wasn't for the bitches, you would think it was Rikers 'Cause back when I never smiled a lot Was on my "New York State of Mind" shit around the clock And it wasn't just niggas from the NYC It was CT, DC, VA, PA, NC, LI, MD, NJ At The Tunnel Let's take it back Let's take it back to The Tunnel Let's take it way, way back The Tunnel Let's take it back Let's take it back to The Tunnel Let's take it way, way back Ooh, Sticky, Mega and Fredro Starr Black ski masks, hoodies and crowbars Hip-hop purists, prestige lyrical flow gods Grew up in The Tunnel, we came here to expose y'all To the most dangerous nightclub in the whole world Unemployed ex-con thugs thugging with no job Chain-snatching stick-up killers who came to go rob Pocket knives, GemStar boxcutters to blow y'all Drug trafficking, coke, pills, and hydro jars Fly diva hoodrat dime bitches with no drawers Finger waves, braids and shades, giving out blowjobs Wrapped around the corner, the Tunnel line was so long Skipped everybody, Brooklyn niggas was so strong The ice grill era, face fight and get stoled on Punch you in your face and give you a fucking nose job These bougie clubs and day parties control y'all The real recognize the real, we don't even know y'all The Tunnel Let's take it back Let's take it back to The Tunnel Let's take it way, way back The Tunnel Let's take it back Let's take it back to The Tunnel Let's take it way, way back The Tunnel Let's take it back Let's take it back to The Tunnel Let's take it way, way back The Tunnel Let's take it back Let's take it back to The Tunnel Let's take it way, way back
