"You know the come up, stack get right, put the gun up
Laugh get nice, split the blunt up
Pray blue and whites dont run up, remain humble
You see the change when the range come through
When all the fame ups ya game, cause ya names mumbled
The chicks notice, jewels is like hyptnosis
Its furosious, when broke niggaz get focused,
the cars come out, bottles at the bar run out..."


A.W.O.L. is the fifth studio album by rapper AZ, released on September 6, 2005. It was recorded after Final Call, which AZ declined to release because his label had pushed its release back two months—according to him, they were also the source of its early leak to the press and the internet. Garnering critical praise with production from highly-regarded New York underground acts such as DJ Premier, Buckwild, and DipSet production duo the Heatmakerz, the rapper abandoned his previously money-oriented subject matter, stating that he "wanted it to be all street. A.W.O.L. is the first AZ album which was released on his own Quiet Money Records imprint. In a couple of months after the release, A.W.O.L. 1.5, which included a bonus disc featuring a cappella and instrumental versions to the songs on A.W.O.L., was released.

Chain smokin, purple haze, this ain't

The rebirth of LA, the rebirth of Hip-Hop
Another memorial for Makaveli and Big Pop..."
