40 Thieves: student of the game . . . (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780595874064)

I done roped 'em, doped 'em, coached 'em, poked 'em and brought out hope en dem - on this blade here.

I done tried 'em, pried 'em, coked 'em, smoked 'em, all out loked dem, till there was no work fo dem - on this blade here.

So don't confuse the muse, wit dem no good fools, who abuse the tools they done not learned to use.

Don't lesser the professor, for skills he injectures, I'n a citizen of choice, who chose to choose, a profession of ne-ces-sity.

This summer aspirations of fame and stardom will take on a whole new meaning as Hollywood takes a back seat to gettin' money on the streets of L.A.
