Jay-P Like It Was, Like It Is Lyrics

Like It Was, Like It Is

Chorus X2

Like it was in the dope game
Like it is now in the business
Hustling’ movin’ product
Beyond boarders, broader paper awaits

Verse 1

Clad recipe there
Recipe music here
Recipe films
All started from an idea, uhh
I murdered for capital
Started a business here
From kilos to clothing
Music N film yeah
Stay here or stay there
Grind here or grind there
Natured with, business acumen
Had to nurture my acumen
God’d green earth where I serve my thang
Went solo on that ass
Like it was,like it is
So it will be for ever(x2)

Chorus X2

Verse 2

They criticize my replicate
Applicably, one of a kind
Replicate like I do built to last for ever
With De’Origene
Original like the original
Built a dynasty, “the Recipe”
Are you with us
Sold that, bounced back N bought that
We need some money
The poverty line hounds us
We gotta keep it first class
I do it like the pope
Presiding over mass in the Basilica
Religiously a gangster nigga
Welcome to the Vatican
All of you, welcome to “the Recipe”

Chorus X2

Verse 3

Roamin’ thru sicily viciously
They suspiciously tryna malicious that
Camorra!!!
Earn an income like a government
Mafiosi mind state by “the Recipe”
Get doe or get doe
Go big or go home
Takin’ chances ama live with
I put my life on the table
How I differ from them
I ain’t tryna die
Can I exist, take care of my people
N live my life
Keep my hustle real tight
Make money
The world gives to me, I give back to the world
I give to the world, the world gives back to me
Peace!!!!
