|
| It’s been a while since niggas been stabbed on TV
|
| Now BET and MTV happy to see me
|
| The unit, by now you niggas should be used to it
|
| I guess I gotta play the tape back and let you view it
|
| Take these bullets out this K back and let you do it
|
| Take these brick walls and see if you can shoot through it
|
| Positivity didn’t build the Statue of Liberty
|
| I’m all in Brooklyn, bustin' my gun, hidin' my identity
|
| Re-in' up on heron in Harlem, it ain’t no tenor key
|
| Cashville country nigga, look what Queens done to me
|
| Oh, somebody 'bout to die, I could feel it, nigga (Woo)
|
| I got a bag for my shooters to go and kill a nigga (Bang, bang)

|
| I got the work on the stove next to the cornbread
|
| Plottin' on my opps, I want 'em all dead
|
| I remember days when I couldn’t remember days (What else?)
|
| Livin' so fast them memories tend to fade
|
| Back in my beginnin' stage (Uh huh), way before the hype
|
| Holy water on my neck so I pray with all my ice (Yup)

| Never switched my tactics, get the bag and rip the plastic (Shit)
|
| Five hour trips, put the addy in the navi shit (What up?)
|
| Now it’s power trips, put the Caddy down the Cali strip
|
| So watch me, I’m too potent, Ziplock me
|
| My reality ain’t the TV, they couldn’t Love & Hip Hop me, nah
|
| Hip-Hop the culture, this thing of ours
|
| Started in the streets of New York City
|
| And spread worldwide
|
| A platform for us kids in the ghetto to have a voice
|
| And express ourselves
|
| However we chose to
|
| You see, you can’t judge anyone
|
| If you never walked in their shoes before
|
| And unless you’re willin' to buy them some new shoes to walk in
|
| Then you need to shut the fuck up
|
| I grew up with them nigga
|
| That performed them gang rituals
|
| Woulda presumed it was for residuals, pitiful enough
|
| It was just so one of us could hammer the throwaway
|
| And bust another one of us for geological preference
|
| Ideological adolescents, hood investments
|
| I thank the most high for OGs that demonstrated reverence and respect
|
| And relevance was a death to new faces
|
| Seemingly out of place throwin' rocks at the penitentary
|
| Could they stop us? |
| Eventually
|
| Basketball scores and placement
|
| Nigga bumped you to the pavement
|
| Who woulda thought a trip to the basement
|
| Would pan out a young black man’s life wasted
|
| So just in case we planned ahead
|
| Swearin' to the man upstairs
|
| Anything against us (Dead)
|
| Time comes for somethin' you said
|
| It’s '99 when you fucked with the feds
|
| Fuck that shit
|
| Me and Jesus got somethin' in common
|
| He lugged a big cross
|
| Fish poppin' out the Porsche
|
| Lookin' like Jaws
|
| Diamonds from the district leavin' no flaws
|
| Marble floors, bartender whores (Yeah)
|
| Premeditated wars have you up north (Yeah)
|
| I’m teflon cut, niggas velvet soft
|
| Friends turned foes, now it all make sense
|
| 'Cause some hoes fight harder than they pimps
|
| Ya feel me?
|
| Hit the shepherd and the sheep afraid
|
| Turn his SUV into Swiss cheese
|
| I turned the Maybach Benz on
|
| Pockets all fat, boy, see more checks than Dre mom
|
| Fake gangsters behind computers
|
| G5 takin' off like Max Julien |
