|
| Door-to-door Jehovah’s Witness on a mission
|
| Watch out for that Carry-Out Cat (whoops) Carry-Out Chicken
|
| Any club wit' a thug’s being carried out, listen
|
| Little later couple slugs gon' be hurried out the clip
|
| Watch as the party goers start to scurry out quick
|
| Watch for clean lookin chicks, in a dirty outfit
|
| With a big Adam’s apple and some hairy armpits

| VERSE 2 (ACEM)
|
| While you at it better watch that new face on strip
|
| Saw you walking to that stash spot, you ain’t slick
|
| Keep in my mind that the pretty young woman you with
|
| Got some cousins that know about every dollar you get
|
| While you looking, have u seen the ingredients there?
|
| If they fry it, you gon buy it but we need healthcare
|
| Watching all these little boys as they grow up scared
|
| Never of another man but of being a man
|
| But they watching entertainers so they changing their hair
|
| To look like theirs, my neighborhood’s identity is no longer there
|
| Done up and gentrified the streets we used to ride
|
| Now that old popeyes is luxury highrises
|
| So who u gon side wit? |
| The natives or intruders
|
| No name on that bullet in the barrel of the shooter
|
| Cameras on the corner watching everybody movements
|
| I hope you watch your neighborhood the way they watching you
|
| HOOK
|
| (ACE) And the reason they ain’t watching, they blindfolded
|
| Moving aimlessly, same direction they minds going
|
| (SUB) It’s a shame to see them steady fallin' and not knowing
|
| Hit rock bottom and find’em laid out top popped open
|
| (ACEM) Like the heat won’t stop smoking, loved ones in dire need of sleep
|
| They just laying on the sheets with their eyes opened
|
| (SUB) Hoping things get better but the problem won’t stop growing
|
| Difficult to carry the weight with both of your arms broken
|
| (ACEM) Watch, cause they motives, ulterior, not spoken
|
| The minute you’re not focused, they looking your plans over
|
| (SUB) And leaving you ran over & left for dead
|
| Try’na get ahead, on that quest for bread
|
| (ACEM) Then they get it and realize, the things that it won’t buy
|
| Life is a whole journey, they concerned with a joyride
|
| (SUB) We watching at all times, from friends to foes
|
| Novice to pros, this is how it goes, you better watch it!
