Sosa Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Minolta, devil exposure
wide lens view
Check credentials
and niggaz next to push tha Benz through
You know the glow
iced out rings, long dough
Spandex messina, hoe bitches lettin' they dome showI played the game
took plenty paper, still remain the same
Asian name
barrel link chain, lettin' my piece hangDomestic

No more crime play, but still connected
It's ethics
calculated steps through geometricsWaves spinnin'
double shades of beige linen
Nine seven expedition
display with all tha trimminsTravel light
push tha LS on casual nights
Have you ever puffed tha tallas weed pipe?
That shit'll have you rightI roll dice
tryin' to divorce from this cold life
Used to sell coke on tha strip, but now I hold mics
And plan soon
to pack and vacation way in Cancun
Escape to a cozy estate, filled with mad roomsFurnished up
Too many foul niggaz, time to turn it up
Push about a buck
and shift gears, burn the clutch
Cause it's like this
for these chips I strike swift
Preciseness
Precious jewels of life, thats pricelessI payed my dues
and through it all I never trade my shoes
Cash rules, new crews
who made the news?
We all for paper
I guess greed is just a second nature
Indeed shots, the henn, rock, and weed'll escalate yaSome mostly touch along the line crossed up
I took tha short cut
puffin on blunts, bustin' off nuts
The night type
love dime bitches and night life
Casino dice
sexy strip dancers, and white iceI seen the movie
most of you niggaz couldn't move me
Truly
it's like a six shot ruger against an oozy
So bust ya run
or cock back, bust your gun
But I fake none
I remain like the sunBless tha strong livin'
Intellect, and long vision
connects in prison
and real niggaz with recognition
So respect the mission
volume one, second addition
The next dimension
Dotted line, sign your deposition

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Anthony Cruz (born March 9, 1972 in Brooklyn, New York), better known by his stage name AZ, is a Grammy-nominated rapper currently residing in Englewood, New Jersey. He is mainly known for his close association with Nas, his membership in the hip hop supergroup The Firm, and his multi-syllabic rhyming pattern and deep content within his solo albums. He released his debut album, Doe Or Die, in 1995 and has since released 1998's Pieces of a Man, 2001's 9 Lives, 2002's Aziatic, 2005's A.W.O.L., 2006's The Format and 2008's Undeniable. AZ is currently working on his 10th studio album titled Doe or Die 2 to be released sometime in 2011.

Biography:
AZ was born Anthony Cruz to an African-American mother and a Dominican father. Although he had been rapping since 1992, AZ first came to prominence by appearing on Nas' landmark album Illmatic on the song "Life's a Bitch" (1994)—he was the only guest emcee to appear on that album. After a bidding war, AZ signed with EMI, and soon released Doe Or Die (1995) to more critical acclaim than commercial sales. The album's lead single, "Sugar Hill", became AZ's only major commercial success as a solo artist, reaching the top 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and achieving Gold status. AZ's EMI contract was transferred to sister label Noo Trybe Records/Virgin Records when the EMI Label Group was shut down.

In 1997, he and Nas appeared in an Sprite commercial.

AZ's fanbase grew considerably after he joined The Firm, a supergroup comprised of AZ, Nas, Foxy Brown, and Nature, with Dr. Dre and The Trackmasters producing. The Firm's only album, The Album, was regarded as critically disappointing. Pieces of a Man, AZ's second solo release, didn't sell well. Independently, AZ released S.O.S.A. to little fanfare in 2000. Soon, however, AZ signed with Motown/Universal Records and released 9 Lives.

In 2002, he released Aziatic. A single from the album, "The Essence," was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. The video to its first single, "I'm Back," received moderate MTV2 play. AZ was supposed to release an album titled Final Call, around late 2004 or early 2005. Due to massive bootlegging, however, the album was never released. Instead, A.W.O.L. was released on September 6, 2005. This album featured many tracks that were on the unreleased Final Call, as well as some new ones—the first single was the DJ Premier-produced "The Come Up," and it became a moderately popular single.

AZ's sixth solo album The Format , was released on November 7, 2006.

Since The Format, AZ has released a mixtape titled The Memphis Sessions and a J-Love mixtape titled The Return of S.O.S.A. His latest album Undeniable will be released in early 2008.

Style:
AZ is known for his smooth, rhythmic cadence of delivery. He is also known for his use of multi-syllable rhyme schemes, internal rhymes, unconventional rhymes, and a large vocabulary. AZ is "one of the greatest rappers as far as lyrics and longevity", his style and flow are instantly recognizable and comparable to his friend and collaborator Nas.
