  yeah, affirmative action, with my crew, ntm

  [kool shen]
  international remix
  check the lyrics
  [ntm]
  chacun sa mafia ,chacun sa mille-fa
  mmh, baby, come wicked nigger
  
  [az]
  you sit back relax catching contacts
  sip your cognac
  and let's all wash this money
  through this laundry mat
  sneak attack
  a new cat is back worth top dollar
  in fact touch mines and i'll react
  like a rock wilder
  
  who pull the late
  we play for high stakes at gun point
  catch'em and break undress'em tie'em
  with tape no escape
  the corleone fettucini capone
  roam in your own zone
  get kidnapped and clapped in your dome
  we go it sewn
  the firm art of war is unknown
  lower your tone face it
  homicide cases get blown
  aristocrats
  politician daily with diplomats
  see me i'm an official mack
  lex coup triple black
  
  [kool shen]
  pas de don corleone dans mon quartier
  mais si tu deconnes jusqu'au bout faudra jouer les bonnes
  mais y a plus de place pour les rêves
  ici quand on s'élève les rageurs te jettent l'oeil
  même les anges te crèvent
  sache que l'union fait la force mais que la misère la divise
  et qu'en période de crise chacun mise sur son biz
  chacun sa mafia , chacun sa mille-fa
  même l'état fonctionne comme ça
  que d'la gouille-ma déguisée en secrets d'états
  
  chorus
  [foxy brown] the firm, baby
  [ntm] chacun sa mafia , chacun sa mille-fa
  aujourd'hui ça se passe comme ça
  [foxy brown] the firm, baby
  [ntm] chacun sa mafia
  [nas] nas with ntm yo the firm connect
  
  [nas]
  yo my mind is seeing through your design
  like blind fury
  i shine jewelry sippin' on crusted grapes
  we lust papes
  and push cakes
  inside the casket at just's wake
  it's sickening he just finish bidding upstate
  and now the project
  is talking that somebody gotta die shit
  it's logic
  as long as it's nobody that's in my clique
  my man smoke
  know how to expand coke
  and mr coffee
  feds cost me 2 mil to get the system off me
  life's a bitch
  but god forbid the bitch divorce me
  i be flooded with ice or hell fire kid scorch me
  cuban cigars
  meetin' foxy at the mars
  movin' cars
  your top poppy sr escobar
  
  pour tous mes peeps, je le balance avec mes tripes
  j'applique
  et nous affecte, cherche pas, y'a même plus rien qui nous implique
  même la vie nous tient a bout de bras
  on oeuvre dans l'ombre
  ayant conscience de notre force
  la force du nombre
  c'est comme ça qu'on prime dans cette putain de société parallele,
  on a le vent dans le dos prêt a voler de nos propres ailes
  chez moi y'a pas de trou , pas...
  non y'a pas de place pour tout ça
  dans mon quartier mon gars
  j'ai vue que des gosses qui se bousillent en bas
  
  chorus (2x)
  
  [joey starr] seine-saint-denis style
  
  [foxy brown] (this verse was removed in the radio/video edit)
  in a black camaro
  firm deep all my niggas hail the black esparo
  wallabees be the apparel
  through the darkest tunnels
  i got visions of multimillions in the biggest bundle
  in the lex pushed by my nigga jungle
  he money bags got moet shan dor
  bundle in 62
  they ain't got a clue what we about to do
  my whole team we shittin' hard like czar
  sosa, foxy brown, cormega and escobar
  i keep a fat marquis piece
  laced in all the illest snake skin
  armani sweaters carolina herarra
  be the firm baby, from bk to the bridge
  my nigga wiz operation firm biz
  so what the deal is
  so let's see, if we flip this other key
  then that's more for me
  mad coke and mad leak
  plus a five hundred
  cut in half is two-fifty
  now triple that times 3
  we got three-quarters of another key
  the firm baby, volume one uh!
  
  [ntm] seine-saint-denis style (3x)
  suprême ntm nas dans la place
  seine-saint-denis style ... (fading out)

  [kool shen]
  no don corleone in my area
  but if you fuck up you'll have to do dirt
  but there's no time for dreamin'
  here when you go up, jealous people come
  even angels want you dead
  know unity is power but wisery divides
  and in time of crisis, everybody watch its own business
  every man to his mafia, every man to his family
  even the government is working like this
  only scheming hidden as state secret
  
  [joey starr]
  for all my peeps, i finger him
  i act
  it affects us, don't look, we're not implicated in anything anymore
  we act in the shadow
  being aware of our power
  the fact that we are numerous
  that's how we live in this fuckin' parallel society
  we got the wind in our back ready to fly with our own wings
  here is no hole, no...
  no time for all this
  in my area man
  i only saw children killing themselves downstair
