Once Upon A Drive By |
It was a cold night |
All the homies was kickin it in the g-rides |
K.O.D. |
would load in the M-1 |
O.M.B. |
had the bass turned up loud |
E.K.A. |
had the Uzi |
Roscoe was holdin the A. K |
The phone rang |
It was the Godfather |
Givin us another issue |
We got strapped, packed into the ride and ready to roll |
(Roll) (roll) (roll) |
And there they all go |
I said «, go up to that third block and flip a u-turn |
Lyric clips ready? |
(ready) (ready)» |
Hit the gas, put on a ski mask, right when we pass… |
(So what you think, Ridd?) smoke that ass |
This ain’t a game, straight up reality |
Made by the streets, done by insanity |
Drive-by, yes, it’s the season |
When the Ganxta kills for no reason |
When an MC is slippin on the front porch |
Stick em like a pitch fork, this is not New York |
This is a concept comin from L. A |
The West Coast comin with the war braids |
So you know we’re ready, Roscoe, is the hit squad ready? |
Yes, they’re ready |
It’s a clip to an Uzi that I insert |
And at the show I unload at the concert |
Yes, you just got tagged |
Rolled to the bodybag is like rollin up a zig-zag |
I can go on and on, tellin you war stories |
About gangstas dyin for a territory |
We claim the stage like the boulevard |
It’s only for those who are hard |
Hardcore, we give you more |
Cause the bass is bumpin from the third floor |
So you look up and all you see is the T.R.I.B.E |
You have a teardrop tacked to your eye |
25 to life, so you better get with it |
You ask who did it, the Ganxta Ridd did it |
Once upon a drive-by it was me and the Ganxta Ridd |
MC’s try to sweat the dawg, this is what he did |
Time is tickin, the world’s gone bad |
You ain’t with it, you better step back |
Feel the wrath of the Ganxta Ridd |
Damn, that’s a hard-ass lyric! |
Time is tickin, the world’s gone bad |
You ain’t with it, you better step back |
Feel the wrath of the Ganxta Ridd |
That’s how it is in the streets of L. A |
People gettin killed today |
You smile now and later you die |
By a drive-by, you only have time to see the bullets fly |
On the news it was televised |
An Astrovan on Daytons strolled by |
You think I lie? |
O.M.B. |
supplies the R.I.- |
P. to the busters in front of me |
Sweat that ass every time he sees me |
Cause I hold the mic and stomp |
Cuttin your head on a tree stump, watch the crowd I pump |
When it’s quiet on the set E.K.A. |
gets upset |
Fuck that shit, Ganxta Ridd’s up next |
And this is a death threat |
Time after time you forget |
That this is a drive-by hit |
Fuck a Dayton-stealer |
Don-L the K.O.D. |
is the walk-by ladykiller |
Then I turn to the R… |
Rock, Roscoe, Rob and Rook |
And the Ridd, yeah, he’s the microphone crook |
O is the left hook |
Like when Brooklyn comes to L.A., you get took |
So analyze the outlook |
The old days a drive-by was heavy |
Cause it was done by Machinegun Kelly |
The new days this game is to live or die |
In L.A. once upon a drive-by |
Once upon a drive-by it was me and the Ganxta Ridd |
MC’s try to sweat the dawg, this is what he did |
Time is tickin, the world’s gone bad |
You ain’t with it, you better step back |
Feel the wrath of the Ganxta Ridd |
Damn, that’s a hard-ass lyric! |
Time is tickin, the world’s gone bad |
You ain’t with it, you better step back |
Feel the wrath of the Ganxta Ridd |
It can’t be stopped, and it’s comin like a blindside |
Once upon a drive-by came from the westside |
Yes, all you can do is wet your lips |
Hopin you don’t get hit by the next lyric clip |
I turn down the bass so I can feel ya |
Ganxta Ridd is the microphone killer |
You just got smoked cause the gangsta in me is loc’ed |
Stop jackin for spokes |
Or else you get picked on O. Mobsta Bass bomb |
Another gangsta from the funk farm |
This one is created |
By the R, muthafucka, who stated |
That this jam is rated R |
That was the last seminar |
We witness a murder on the boulevard |
Yes, we just been spotted, spotted on the radar |
Soldiers sent from the ??? |
Cause we’re comin in too hard |
Too hard (too hard) (too hard) |
