| Now it’s time to check out the pattern
|
| From here to Manhattan
|
| And every motherfuckers on the side gettin' a gat
|
| And shittin' bullets
|
| Wastin' lives
|
| Standing breaking heads of the youths
|
| In their groups of fours and fives
|
| And all the girls pickin' up on their gun t’ings
|
| 'cause the way they way they figure
|
| Them seem to run things
|
| But life is worth nothing, I ain’t bluffing
|
| When you’re puffin' on a barrel
|
| You don’t talk tough when you start coughing
|
| And nobody’s bullet proof and that’s the truth
|
| So na bada come me wit dat big-dick gun-talk ya spoof
|
| You won’t be sittin' up smilin' in the Intercontinental
|
| You’ll be layin' out on the slab with your home up for rental
|
| Now you best seek parental guidance
|
| 'cause they shoulda raised you up better
|
| You little bed wetter
|
| Now I kicks the slang in
|
| This is how I’m hanging
|
| With the crew from the south
|
| Of the river come to make you shiver
|
| And shake when Mr Morgan cuts a funky drum break
|
| On the drum kit, this is how we funk it
|
| We don’t need no dumb shit
|
| 'cause we never come to front it
|
| Grab your logic like a ball
|
| I’ll take it to the hoop and dunk it
|
| 'cause life is already too cheap, you creep
|
| I best set your alarm
|
| 'cause it sounds like you’re still asleep
|
| YOUR GUNS AIN’TA WICKED
|
| YOUR SOUNDS IS’A WICKED
|
| BUT AS FOR THE LIFESTYLE OF DEATH
|
| I’D NEVER PICK IT
|
| YOUR GUNS AIN’TA WICKED
|
| AND YOUR BULLETS AIN’TA WICKED
|
| Now I’m going further and further until I reach my destiny
|
| It makes no difference if the brothers keep testing me
|
| See the rule of the gun ain’t ruling we
|
| Many many people I can see
|
| Turn, become a carrier, strengthen up a barrier
|
| Enforced by the media — whole time feedin' ya
|
| Sanitised images of the gun, man
|
| But no I’ll never run, man
|
| Because it can’t be done, understand?
|
| You’re tying to come dumb but slick
|
| To make cash quick
|
| 'cause you think it’s the new lick
|
| It’s just another trick
|
| Call it abandon, got my hand on
|
| Nothing but the mike
|
| 'cause it’s the phat skills that I like
|
| Part of a cycle, vicious
|
| Which is eating up communities whole
|
| But you don’t feel the impacts
|
| Because you just sold your syntax
|
| Ya bad boy man, ya rootin shootin' guns playin'
|
| Think of all the positive shit you could be sayin'
|
| But the day in the life of a gangsta sells greener
|
| Making quick cash of a cool misdemeanour, man
|
| I’ve seen ya cursin' women, lying of your exploits
|
| So just skip the shit
|
| And step straight to the point |
