I mix business and pleasure way too much
You know wine, women song and such - Beastie Boys Shadrach Meshach Abednego

Ready for war Joe, how you wanna blow they spot
I know these dirty cops that'll get us in if we murder some wop
Hop in the hummer, the Punisher's ready
Meet me at Vito's with Noodles we'll do this dude while he's slurpin spaghetti
Everybody kiss the fuckin floor
Joey Crack, buck em all if they move
Noodles shoot that fuckin whore
Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know
That we riddled some middle man who didn't do diddly - Twinz (Fat Joe/Punisher) Punisher's opening lyrics from Deep Cover remake/cover

Your last words are blurred, mumbled then slurred
Then your verbs are no longer heard
You got your lungs fried so good you're tongue-tied
He couldn't swing or hang so he hung till he died
Reincarnate him and kill him again....again and again....again and again
I leave em in the mausoleum so you can see em
I got a dead MC museum
When I create em I cremate em and complicate em
You can't save em there's no ultimatum
Mics lay around full of ashes with the victim's names in slashes
I got a long list and Imma get every one of ya
Beware of the punisher - Rakim The Punisher

Well a hush fell over the pool hall
When Jimmy come boppin in off the street
And when the cuttin was done
The only part that wasn't bloody was the soles of the big man's feet
See he was cut in bout a hundred places and he was shot in a couple more
And you better believe the people sung a different story when Big Jim hit the floor - Jim Croce Don't Mess Around With Jim

She made a little speech then
Oh she tried to make me say when
She had my balls in a vice but she left the dick
I think it's still hooked on but now it shoots too quick

My homie got shot he's a goner black
St Louis niggas want they corner back
Shootin in snowy weather
It's illegal business, niggas still can't stick together
Fuckin police got the 411
That LA ain't all surf and sun
But we ain't thinkin bout the boys
Feudin like the Hatfields n McCoys
Now the shit's gettin tricky
Cuz now they lookin for the colors and the Dickies
Damn the spot's gettin hot from the battle
Bout to pack up and and start slingin in Seattle - Ice Cube My Summer Vacation

Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Just like a river that don't know where its flowin
I took a wrong turn and I just kept goin, uh huh - Bruce Springsteen Hungry Heart

Ain't I clean, bad machine
Super cool, super mean
Dealin good for the man
Superfly, here I stand
Secret stash, heavy bread
Baddest bitches in the bed
I'm your pusherman - Curtis Mayfield Pusherman

Funny, I was going to post a bit from "Hungry Heart" but not the lyrics you posted:

"Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Don't make no difference what nobody says
Ain't nobody like to be alone"

I like the Eric B. and Rakim joint you posted upthread

Word. Can't say I'm a big Springsteen fan or anything, but I do dig Hungry Heart. Every verse of it is pretty damn honest.

Eric B pretty much kills it on every verse as well on The Punisher.

You mean Rakim kills every verse? Or that you like Eric B's production on it?

Yeah, I'm a huge Springsteen guy. Of course, my father was too. Too bad he never got into LL Cool J, Nas, or Mobb Deep

My bad, you're on point. I meant Rakim kills every verse. Can't say I'm a big fan of the music/beats Eric B laid down.

It's not too late. You could always hip pops to Hopsin, Jurassic Five, Evidence or Run The Jewels.

Or maybe this is more his speed.
