[Fat Joe]
  Yeah.. uh-huh..
  Chill.. hah, yeah..
  C'mon..
  
  I'm comin rougher than the roughest motherfucker could get
  Playin Russian Roulette, never lost a bet yet
  Bluffin, ain't my style, niggaz ain't sayin nothin
  Cause I'm buckwild without frontin
  Raw to the core, I grew up poor
  Once I hit the door, I began to explore
  Curiosity killed my cat, but not me
  because I learned how to kill with agility
  I grew up in the South Bronx, punch you in your mouth punk
  I know these streets like Fred Sanford knows junk
  In the trunk of a car lays a body
  Head decapitated, bust him with my shotty
  Stabbed the mug, to make sure, he wasn't comin back
  Now police, can picture that, with a Kodak.. huh!
  They can't stop me with a homicide investigation
  Cause if they do my crew is hittin up the station
  Your best bet, is to let me jet
  Cause I bring war, like a vet, when I'm upset.. huh!
  I'm not the one you wanna play out in a program
  Yo, you better tell them who the hell I am
  
  "This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" Yeah! (2X)
  "This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" Tell em who the hell I am
  "This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta"
  
  [Fat Joe]
  Now on the hip-hop tip, I'm no joke
  Get live at a jam, and leave a system broke when I spoke
  MC's froze, but I never said freeze
  Hopin I don't hit em like a fucked up disease
  Fall up in the club, Mr. Hype for a night
  Choke a rapper with a cord, hang him from the lights.. huh!
  Now you do wanna mess around with the Fat Man
  cause you see my face in every newsstand
  Every other magazine from Billboard to Spin
  Pick it up and read Fat Joe strikes again
  How true, I'm not about weed and brew
  I'm just another papichulo like the rest of my crew
  So give me the microphone
  This jam is dedicated to my main man Tone
  Cause he flips, and I flip, and we flip the script
  And you know, you don't wanna get your ass WHIPPED
  Party over here, another in the hospital
  Lincoln, Memorial, notice that's how I sent you, hah
  I was the one who played the shoot 'em up games
  Here's another patient, and yo what's my name?
  
  "This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" Yeah! (2X)
  "This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" Tell em who the hell I am
  "This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta"
  
  [Fat Joe]
  So I cruise around in the B-M
  or in the Benz, hurtin enemies and makin new friends
  They shake my hand, smile in my face
  The nine's in my waist, so there won't be a chase
  That's it, the situation is blown out of proportion
  When you leave, you must use caution
  Look over your shoulder, even on your block
  When I come to visit, you know you're in shock
  So don't say who is it, act like you know
  Kickin down doors is the Gangsta Fat Joe
  And I got no time for games
  My name is goin down in the gangsta hall of fame
  
  "This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" Yeah!
  "This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta" Tell em who the hell I am
  "This is Joe Da Fat Gangsta"
  
  [Fat Joe]
  Yeah.. Fat Joe Da Gangsta
  Representin in ninety-three
  Peace to my man Diamond D
  Peace out to my man Ski
  This jam is ?letido?, ha hah
