| Hey, yo, some niggas try to act like | 
| Act like they crazy but they really fake | 
| Fake shit they janky they shady say | 
| He a lady rockin' a broad y’all | 
| He could probably breed a baby | 
| Ay, I done seen him lately | 
| I don’t know if you spot him | 
| The type of cat that run his mouth and get you shot up | 
| «Y'all,» he ain’t got no partners | 
| He bust no slugs | 
| Not even a BB gun if it’s beef he run | 
| You got caught now you breathin' from a machine | 
| Cuz you sleepin' on how evil come back | 
| It’s like a scene from The Mack | 
| The way you got pimp-slapped | 
| Then ramshackled for your bundle | 
| Late night on a track | 
| And felt the crackle or the thunder | 
| Your life snatched from right up under | 
| Fool you trifle of a slumber | 
| So eternally sleep | 
| You wasn’t learnt in the streets | 
| You just squirm when they turn up the heat | 
| Turnin' your sheets | 
| Youse a geek | 
| All obsessed with your d-boy image | 
| Around real hitters a small joke | 
| Tryin' to be down you get, broke | 
| Stickin' your spokes | 
| Trappin' your coke and still got, choked up | 
| They play strip poker with ya spoke of tough luck | 
| All for what? | 
| A fast buck | 
| Hey, yo, some niggas try to act like | 
| Act like they crazy but they really fake | 
| Fake see they janky they shady | 
| Me I can’t relate to this imagery | 
| Arrangin' and changin' (and changin') (and changin') | 
| Rangin' from slangin' kilos | 
| To gangbangin' | 
| But we know your name and your people | 
| You ain’t tanglin' | 
| You ain’t from the set that you claimin' | 
| You danglin' | 
| Premeditatin' murder rate | 
| Wet up off the sherminate | 
| Shots hit your vertebrae | 
| You wishin' you could turn the page | 
| And start from the beginnin' back at chapter one | 
| You was a virgin eighth grade | 
| No collapsin' lung | 
| Livin' free as the president now it’s maximum | 
| Security for you permanent the battle was won | 
| Is so maddenin' to see you slip in | 
| The same pattern and some escape | 
| Many make the same dumb mistakes | 
| Tryin' the hardest to be | 
| Perceived as hard | 
| Posted on the corners with the cheap cigars | 
| Pants so baggy man you can barely keep 'em on | 
| Speakin' on things you got no business speakin' on | 
| But now keep keep it on | 
| And be the first nigga we creep up on | 
| Before you peep it you gone | 
| Yeah, some niggas try to act like they crazy | 
| They shady Barnum & Bailey | 
| Clown Fugazis | 
| You was a dweeb in the eighties | 
| Thinkin' bulletproof now | 
| But them real niggas are bangin' | 
| Hey, this is what we tryin' to tell | 
| Busters, suckers and tail tuckers | 
| All frail hustlers and nail buffers | 
| Leave it to the people that be it | 
| Till you had seen it, but I seen it | 
| Cats ain’t breathin' when they leave you bleedin' on the cement | 
| These phoney niggas make believe it | 
| I hope a nine to your mind | 
| Ain’t what it take to free, hate to see |
