| We was born in the streets of L. A
 | 
| Where the streets ain’t safe at night
 | 
| Between the beeper and the color of a rag
 | 
| We have chosen the mic, right?
 | 
| So the philosophy we learned on the streets
 | 
| We now bring to this muthafuckin stage
 | 
| And at this time we likes to unload
 | 
| These lyrics like a 12-guage
 | 
| Bail on stage with a gangster lean
 | 
| Busters duck once I’m on the scene
 | 
| Opponents went out the do'
 | 
| The innocents hit the flo'
 | 
| As if we started a war
 | 
| Boo-Yaa! | 
| It means a cry from a shotgun
 | 
| You want some of this, come on and get some
 | 
| Feel that Boo-Yaa bass, it get louder
 | 
| Only O.M.B. | 
| could provide that power
 | 
| Power, from the brothers in black (ha!)
 | 
| No radio can stop this track (ha!)
 | 
| The Ridd, yeah, gettin rid of MC’s
 | 
| I get them before they even try to get me
 | 
| If the enemy tries to mob
 | 
| Get mopped by the Boo-Yaa hit squad
 | 
| Inmates from the mad house, comin from the lock-in
 | 
| Chilled with the rats ???
 | 
| You try to run, but you don’t get far
 | 
| Cause I spray your ass with the letter R
