| You better stand for something or you die in a second
|
| You better count your blessings if you run with a weapon
|
| You better say a prayer and hope that God can protect you
|
| If ever the reaper come that time that you ain’t expecting
|
| I’m never scared, Im cautious Lord
|
| Cause niggas be plotting
|
| I’m often James Harden strapped, I ran with the rockets
|
| I’m talking Mossberg pump for robbers and vultures
|
| Them niggas set you up when it’s supposed to be kosher
|

|
| Or witness murder in the first degree for saying my name
