I Gotcha Back |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas that front, they be pulling stunts |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas who front (they be pulling stunts) |
I was always taught my do’s and don’ts |
For do’s I did, and for don’ts, I said I won’t |
I’m from Brooklyn, a place where stars are born |
Streets are shot up, apartment buildings are torn |
And ripped up, stripped up, shacked up and backed up |
From fiends, cause the bosses on the scene, they got it cracked up |
Kids are slinging in my lobby |
Little Steve and Bobby |
Getting paid but it’s a life-threatening hobby |
Yeah, they still play hide-and-seek |
The fiends seek for the crack, and they hide and let the cops peep |
Grown folks say they should be out on their own |
Before the gangs come and blow up their mom’s home |
Because they lifestyle is hectic, so fucking hectic |
Blaow! |
Blaow! |
Blaow! |
Bullets are ejected |
My lifestyle was so far from well |
Could’ve wrote a book with a title «Age 12 and Going Through Hell» |
Then I realized the plan |
I’m trapped in a deadly video game, with just one man |
So I don’t only watch my back, I watch my front |
Cause it’s the niggas who front, they be pulling stunts |
Back on the Ave of Livonia and Bristol with a pistol |
Sticking up Pamela and Crystal |
You know your town is dangerous when you see the strangest |
Kid come home from doing the bid and nothing changes |
What is the meaning of CRIME (what?) |
Is it Criminals Robbing Innocent Motherfuckers Everytime? |
Little shorties take walks to the schoolyard |
Trying to solve the puzzles to why is life so hard |
Then as soon as they reached the playground, blaow! |
Shots ring off and now one of them lay down |
It’s so hard to escape the gunfire |
I wish I could rule it out like an umpire |
But it’s an everlasting game, and it never cease to exist |
Only the players change, so |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas that front, they be pulling stunts |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas who front (they be pulling stunts) |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas that front, they be pulling stunts |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas who front (they be pulling stunts) |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas that front, they be pulling stunts |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas who front (they be pulling stunts) |
I gotcha back so you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas who front, that be pulling stunts |
I gotcha back but you best to watch your front |
It’s the niggas who front, that be pulling stunts |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas that front, they be pulling stunts |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas who front (they be pulling stunts) |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas that front, they be pulling stunts |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas who front (they be pulling stunts) |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas that front, they be pulling stunts |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas who front (they be pulling stunts) |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas that front, they be pulling stunts |
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front |
Cause it’s the niggas who front (they be pulling stunts) |
Your, tech, nique, is, mag-ni-ficent |
When cut across the neck |
A sound like wailing winter winds is heard, they say |
I’d always hoped to cut someone like that someday |
To hear that sound |
But to have it happen to my own neck is… ridiculous |
