[Chorus: sampled singer (Inpsectah Deck)] 
One of these days and you wont be long (It wont be long now) 
One of these days and you wont be long (You bound to come up) 
One of these days and you wont be long (Keep your eyes on us) 
One of these days and you wont be long (Yeah, yeah, yeah, Deck) 
 
[Inspectah Deck] 
I'm from the home where the buffalo roam 
And niggas don't give a flyin' fuck 
Talk with signs up, walk with the iron tucked 
Leave your eyes wide shut 
Money bag's on +The Table+, gots to get locked up 
Rebel I's simply slicker, pick up a pretty sister 
Dig her out on +The Table+, bend off the remy licker 
Head splitter, deliver so cold I send shivers 
From many figures, battle the world or any nigga 
I'm Uptown +Saturday Nite+ like Bill Carr's 
Got weed in the jars with vanilla cigars 
On the strip, eyeballin' the chicks, holdin' the mix 
Blast off of my shit, vibratin' the whip 
 
[Chorus: sampled singer (Raekwon)]	 
One of these days and you wont be long (That's what you call it pa) 
One of these days and you wont be long (Chef!) 
 
[Raekwon] 
Yo I'm sicker than the V12 [X5] 
With cracks in the Rolly jumper all we do is Drink fuckin' Drive 
Real niggas raise up, Mommy get your feet off +The Table+ 
The cable luck bare, my man got me one on his leckle 
It's nothin' for me to get up with you, guts with you 
Blow off them matches and sit up with you 
Aiyo the streets, what is gettin' more crazy? 
Stressin' me nothin', investin' the leathers, we all into things blazin' 
Slingin' coke is just a normal habit, rappers we wear 
Straddlers with cannons and hatchets gettin' cheers 
Yatzis are fresh off the block, block squeezin', it's real 
If we get real, put pop, poppin' at your blocks equal 
Take these niggas and throw 'em in lakes, it's business 
Rake these niggas on the mic, display your ninjas 
Nines crowns verses your nine towns 
Run up with nine 9's, brown down, get to lyin' you down 
 
[Chorus: sampled singer {U-God} (Raekwon)]	 
One of these days and you wont be long {Yo} (That's what you call it pa) 
One of these days and you wont be long {Yo, yo} 
 
[U-God] 
I come from the slums, I ain't no dummy 
My testiment talk, represent money 
This +Verbal Intercourse+, fueled by exhaust 
The bread winner, head spinner, coldest with the force 
No remorse, endorse the rap artist 
So flamboyant cos I pimp slap the hardest 
Ever since the +Triumph+ we've been missin' them soldiers 
We came tonight, boy the mission is cobra, full exploder 
Bulldose through the rubbish, I'm in too deep boy 
I just gotta love this, they call we Too Sweet 
One of the nine brothers, I'm so unique 
Every line that smother, the situation's grim 
It's bloody sin cos every time I want out they pull me back in 
I see my reflection in the chrome mack 10 
Ask the passer who's faster with the pen 
Then pull it, nine hollows, amorettos 
That's how I like it, sweat on my wine bottles 
The automobiles with them shiny assed hubs 
The endo pull, with the bathtub club, my angel's in the mud 
Veteran smile, +Dat's Gangsta+ shit, that American style 
Dig it, prick or prey 
I'm quick to slay with the rectifier shit, caught by the ricochet nigga 
 
"I got to know" 
 
[Chorus x4: sampled singer (Raekwon)]	 
One of these days and you wont be long (That's what you call it pa) 
One of these days and you wont be long 
 
"I got to know"
