Once it's on, I come though, guns is drawn
(Blap blap) lungs is gone, sons will mourn
From dusk 'til dawn, nighttime belongs to the dog
On the street past midnight, look for 'em in the morgue
I don't play with these cats 'cause I ain't got nothin' to say to these cats
For the mothers that really do love 'em, please pray for these cats
'Cause I know they all hardheaded but I ain't got the patience
Don't want me havin' no patience turn into more patients
More trips to ICU 'cause I see you
Tryna get away with things a real wouldn't do
Where my dogs at? (Right here)
See them niggas? (Right where?)
Get 'em boy (Right there)
That's how we do (Alright then)
Yeah, this is for my dogs, this is for my dogs
Yo, where we at, baby? (Creepin' through the fog)
From then 'til now, don't ask me how
Know that we gon' roll like them cats and hit every block on the job

Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?
Have that nigga in the cut, where the wood at?
Oh, them niggas actin up? Where the wolves at?
You better bust that if you gon' pull that

Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?
Have that nigga in the cut, where the wood at?
Oh, them niggas actin up? Where the wolves at?
You better bust that if you gon' pull that (come on)

Where the hood at?
It's all good
It's all good, dog is the hood (I am the hood)
It's all good, dog is the hood (I am the streets)
It's all good, dog is the hood
It's all good, dog is the hood (take it how you want, mother)
It's all good, dog is the hood (I'm in the hood all day)
I think I'm like the only, dog
That can go to the projects he grew up in by his self and be good (School Street)
Yeah, ask on my project (Y.O.)
When the last time they seen dog (Y.O.)
Not too long ago, baby
D, Y, ugh
Kato (Where the hood at?)

It's All Good

Love my niggas, but where's my bitches?
I love my niggas, but where's my bitches?
Love my niggas, but where's my bitches?
I love my niggas, but where's my bitches?

It's all good
It's all right
F*ck all day
F*ck all night
Call my bitches 'cause wherever I go, y'all my bitches
East to the west coast, all my bitches

Yo, chickens is good for pluckin'
So I'm stickin' bitches f*ckin'
Got 'em trickin' while they suckin'
Give 'em dick, and they be buggin'
I've done it all
From mackin' two hoes on a three-way
Dominican hoes on freeway
Country hoes in VA
And they all say the same about my game, it's tight
That's why every night a different group of bitches start a fight
Over some dick that they don't even own
All I'm givin' 'em is the bone
Blowin' up a niggas phone but ain't nobody home
I'm in a zone tryin' to do things
Let's turn this into a crew thing
What's up, girlfriend, you game?
No wonder why when I leave at night
It's 'cause I thieve at night
I'm leavin' bitches not breathin' right
I f*ck they head up with some slick shit
Hit 'em off with some long dick shit
Make it some quick shit, but rip shit
Then I'm out, just like the trash on a Thursday
Knowin' she'd be givin' up the ass on the first day

It's all good
It's all right
F*ck all day
F*ck all night
Call my bitches 'cause wherever I go, y'all my bitches
East to the west coast, all my bitches

It's all good
It's all right
F*ck all day
F*ck all night
Call my bitches 'cause wherever I go, y'all my bitches
East to the west coast, all my bitches

Flocks of bitches by the dozens
From sisters to cousins
Got 'em doin' shit they said they wasn't
Ever gonna do like knowin' I'd f*ck the bitch that she was close to
Still gave up the ass and dough, she was supposed to
Pictures of bitches and flicks of chicks
Videos with the baddest hoes, sucking dick
It's the dog in me that makes me do wrong
Hunnies can't help but get strung (Why)
'Cause the game is too strong
I like 'em greedy, black like Edi, eyes beady, willin' to give to the needy
I done ran through 'em all
From around the way bitches
To them outta state hoes
I'm even hitting gay bitches
All I tell 'em is "let me get that"
Then it's on
Knock her mothaf*ckin' boots
And then I'm gone
I got the white bitches sayin' "It's a black thing"
'Cause I leave that hoe with no dough and plenty back pain

It's all good
It's all right
F*ck all day
F*ck all night
Call my bitches 'cause wherever I go, y'all my bitches
East to the west coast, all my bitches

It's all good
It's all right
F*ck all day
F*ck all night
Call my bitches 'cause wherever I go, y'all my bitches
East to the west coast, all my bitches

Bitches who get props 'cause they know who can get got
Who they can get shot by the way ya nigga's hip drop
Walk up in the spot knowin' what she want strictly
When hun wants the dickly, hun comes and gets me
Hits me, pays me, doesn't get crazy
Knows to be Swayze 'cause that's daddy's baby
I keep them hoes in check like the government
Hittin' 'em off with nothin' but the dick, and they lovin' it
Huggin' it like it's they best friend 'cause it is, word to mix
F*ckin' with tricks is just biz
I deal with strictly dimes
Got 'em commitin' they first crimes
Now she's suckin' dick for the first time
And ain't no secret 'bout how I freak it when it's sleek it
Never knew how I peeped it then creeped it
That's how I know this must be that shit
I tell them bitches "I'll be back"
And they believe that shit

It's all good
It's all right
F*ck all day
F*ck all night
Call my bitches 'cause wherever I go, y'all my bitches
East to the west coast, all my bitches

It's all good
It's all right
F*ck all day
F*ck all night
Call my bitches 'cause wherever I go, y'all my bitches
East to the west coast, all my bitches

It's all good
It's all right
F*ck all day
And all night

Get At Me Dog

(Yeah, I'm right here, dog) where my dogs at?
(We right here, dog) where my dogs at?
(I'm right here, dog)

What must I go through to show you shit is real? (Uh)
And I ain't really never gave a f*ck how niggas feel (what?)
Rob and I steal, not 'cause I want to, 'cause I have to
And don't make me show you what the MAC do (come on)
If you don't know by now, then you slippin'
I'm on some bullshit that's got me jackin', niggas flippin'
Let my man and them stay pretty but I'ma stay shitty
Cruddy, it's all for the money, is you wit' me?
Get the bitches, and I'll commit the crime (uh-huh)
And when it's on, we transform like Optimus Prime
I'll form the head, roll out, let's make it happen (let's go)
If we ain't gonna get it wit' them, we'll take your cap
Bustin' off, dusting off the softest niggas
Money with the biggest mouth, yo, let's off this nigga
Up North this nigga never made a sound
Breathe too f*cking hard and you getting bust down

Yo, yo, y'all niggas wanna be killers? (Get at me, dog)
Y'all niggas wanna feel us? (Get at me, dog)
Y'all niggas want the real (get at me, dog)
(Rrr, arf, arf, what the deal?)
Y'all niggas wanna be killers? (Get at me, dog)
Y'all niggas wanna feel us? (Get at me, dog)
Y'all niggas want the real (get at me, dog)
(Rrr, arf, arf, what the deal?)

Nowadays, it ain't looking too good
For certain niggas, I'm hurting niggas
(What you doing?) Robbing niggas, jerking niggas, sticking niggas
Cause they deserve it, when money got murdered
They know he died slow 'cause they heard it
The nigga ain't blew up the spot in a while
And the motherf*cker ain't got shot in a while (you know?)
Just takes a light up to f*ck the night up
Blow everything in sight up, f*ck around and I'll have your ass right up
When you mention some shit you wasn't able to stand
I got shit that'll disable a man with the wave of a hand
The days are longer and it seems like I'm facing time
I've got a lot of dreams, but I'm not really chasing mine
I soak it all up like a sitting fly
'Cause nowadays getting by, nothing more than an occasional meal and getting high
I live to die, that's where I'm headed
Let your man hold something, now it's all about you can get it

Y'all niggas wanna be killers? (Get at me, dog)
Y'all niggas wanna feel us? (Get at me, dog)
Y'all niggas want the real (get at me, dog)
(What? Rrr, arf, arf, what the deal?)

One in the back left your faggot ass face down
Lucky that you breathing, but you dead from the waist down
The f*ck is on your mind? Talking that shit that you be talking
And I bet you wish you never got hit 'cause you'd be walking
But shit happens and f*ck it, you done did your dirt
Niggas is wondering how the f*ck you hid your skirt
Right under their eyes, that's a surprise to the guys
That one of their mans was a bitch in disguise
F*cking with cats that order more hits and slaughter more kids
Let me holla at you, yo, that Baltimore shit (ayo)
Yeah mean? I'm just robbing to eat
And there's at least a thousand of us like me mobbing the street
When we're starving, we eat whatever's there
Come on, you know the code in the streets, whatever's fair
Blood stains and chalk, means your man couldn't walk
After the talk about him not being on the 11-33 to New York
Transforming-ass niggas'll get it quick
And yo, for real, that nigga K can suck my dick
And it's gon' take all these niggas in the rap game to barely move me
'Cause when I blow shit up, I have niggas falling
Like white bitches in a scary movie
Ah, you know I don't know how to act
Get too close to niggas it's like, "protected by Viper, stand back"
What's this? I thought you niggas was killers, demented
The f*ck you want me to do with this coward? Finish him, it's ended

Party Up

Uh, uh
Woo

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a fool
Up in here, up in here (uh)
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool (uh)
Up in here, up in here

If I gotsta bring it to you cowards, then it's gonna be quick, aight?
All your mans up in the jail before suck my dick
And all them other cats you run with, get done with, dumb quick
How the f*ck you gon' cross the dog with some bum shit? Aight
There go the gun click, 9-1-1 shit
All over some dumb shit, ain't that some shit?
Y'all niggas remind me of a strip club
'Cause every time you come around, it's like what?
I just gotta get my dick sucked
And I don't know who the f*ck you think you talkin' to
But I'm not him, aight, Slim? So watch what you do
Or you gon' find yourself buried next to someone else
And we all thought you loved yourself
But that couldn't have been the issue
Or maybe they just sayin' that now 'cause they miss you
Shit, a nigga tried to diss you
That's why you layin' on your back, lookin' at the roof of the church
Preacher tellin' the truth and it hurts

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a fool
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool
Up in here, up in here

Off the chain, I leave niggas soft in the brain
'Cause niggas still want the fame off the name
First of all, you ain't rapped long enough
To be f*ckin' with me, and you, you ain't strong enough
So whatever it is you puffin' on that got you thinkin' that you Superman
I got the Kryptonite, should I smack him with my dick or the mic?
Y'all niggas is characters, not even good actors
What's gon' be the outcome? Hmm, let's add up all the factors
You whack, you twisted, your girl's a ho
You broke, the kid ain't yours, and everybody know
Your own man say you stupid, you be like
"So? I love my baby mother, I'll never let her go"
I'm tired of weak-ass niggas whinin' over puss
That don't belong to them, f*ck is wrong with them?

Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a fool
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool
Up in here, up in here

I bring down rain so heavy it curse the head
No more talkin', put him in the dirt instead
You keep walkin', 'less you tryin' to end up red
'Cause if I end up Fed, y'all end up dead
'Cause you's a soft-type nigga (uh)
Fake up North type nigga (uh)
Puss like a soft white nigga (uh)
Dog is a dog, blood's thicker than water
We done been through the mud and we quicker to slaughter
The bigger the order, the more guns we brung out
Run up in there, everybody come out, don't nobody burn out
Sun in to sun out, I'm a keep the gun out
Nigga runnin' his mouth, I'm a blow his lung out
Listen, yo' ass is about to be missin'
You know who gon' find you? (Who?) Some old man fishin'
Grandma wishin' your soul's at rest
But it's hard to digest with the size of the hole in your chest (uh)

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a fool
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool
Up in here, up in here (hold up)

And the silencer will silence any cocksucker with somethin' to say
Dog for life
Whether I'm on or off the leash, I bite, streets are my life
Click, click, boom
Another life taken too soon, another mother had a funeral
Still waters run deep
And the pain is forever alive inside, makes it hard to sleep
But I keep goin', goin' (shit)
Shit, I'm always careful when I walk, I'm always seein', knowin'
The dog gon' live
Stay walkin' the wire, over the fire, when I can I give

How's It Goin' Down

(All I want is you, the one I want)
(All I want is you, the one I want)
What type of games is being played? How's it going down?
It's on 'til it's gone, then I gots to know now
Is you wit me or what? Think I'm tryna get me a nut
Just 'cause honeys wanna give me the butt, what

I'm politicking with this chicken wondering if I'ma creep her
Little hoodrat bitch from 25th named Tenika
Coming through, like I do, you know, getting my bark on
Knew she was a thug 'cause when I met her she had a scarf on
5411, size 7 in girls
Babyface, would look like she was 11 with curls
Girlfriend (what) remember me, from way back?
I'm the same cat with the wave cap
The motherf*cker that TNT used to blaze at
Still here so it's all good
Oh you know my niggas Rich and them
Doing they thing on 35th? Damn, it's a small hood
And it's all wood, so let me get that number, I get up, aight
Hit you on the jack later on, see what's up
Talking to shorty made me wanna do something nice
Looking at that ass made me wanna do something tonight
And I know right when I see right, shorty looking like she tight
She bite, let her give a nigga the green light, we might

I'm getting at shorty like what you need? What you want?
Want for nothing 'cause I got you, but you front
I see you with your baby father but it don't matter
Since you gave me the pussy, that ass is getting fatter
Let that nigga play daddy, make moves with me
I'da kept it more than real boo, can't lose with me
Heard he smacked you 'cause you said my name while y'all was sexing
Ran up on this cat, he thought was me, and started flexing
You know I ain't even with that, so he gon' have to get that just on GP
Try to creep me, what? Leave that nigga sleepy
On the strength of you, that's your kid's daddy
I ain't gon' send him on his way, put him up in that big Caddy
But let him know, never mind yo, I need you to go
Take this snow up to 1-5-0, see Joe
Get that, come back with that, we can split that, sit back
F*ck, puff a L, forget that, you wit that?

Ayo, this chicken got me digging her moves, 'cause she smooth
Win or lose, whoever she choose, it's the dues
Respect is not expected but it's given 'cause it's real
Being neglected's the norm, expect it, the deal
Lie, cheat, and steal for me
Putting something in a nigga's wig if you squeal for me
Kill for me, you're still with me 'cause we get down like what
Told you's from the door, it ain't all about a nut
I'm gon' be fair, trying to be there, we gon' see then
Hit me with the question boo, that answer gon' be yeah
See there, something can go wrong, it does
Loved it, let it go, but it came back, that's how strong it was
But you belonged to 'cus, couldn't belong to me
You had two kids by this nigga, it was wrong for me
But we gon' always be best of friends, haha
Mad love, Boo, to the end, haha

The Rain

Next stop, Chicago
It's such a long, long train ride
Such a long lonely ride back home

Now I know only I can stop the rain
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Now I know only I can stop the rain
It's not that we gotta do what we do
It's what we know
So to me it ain't nothing but being true, but
Now I know only I can stop the rain
It doesn't have to be the way it is
You say it is
Just because for the past twenty years everyday it is (what)
Now I know only I can stop the rain
I wanna be able to walk out my front door
Without worrying about comin' in conflict with the law, 'cause
Now I know only I can stop the rain
If I follow him, they'll follow me (uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, what)
And I'll speak life into the words that you can see, 'cause
Now I know only I can stop the rain (come on)
We get away with everyday shit (uh)
But everyday shit catches up to you
And when it does, you can't say shit
Now I know only I can stop the rain
If I don't, you will
What I won't, you still
What makes us feel like we gots to kill, when
Now I know only I can stop the rain
How many more lives must we lose?
How many more times must we choose
To trust these fools?
Now I know only I can stop the rain
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
I gave it to you straight, don't mix it
Twist it up for some slick shit (what, what, uh)
Now I know only I can stop the rain
I don't have to talk to it anymore
I don't have to walk to it anymore
I'm out the door (what)
Now I know only I can stop the rain
I wanna find peace with the Lord (uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)
I don't wanna find a beast with the sword
I can't afford to
Now I know only I can stop the rain
When everyday of my life is a constant fight between wrong and right (what)
Now I know only I can stop the rain
I thank you Lord for my life
Thank you Lord for keeping it loose when things got tight
Now I know only I can stop the rain
Only I can stop the rain
Only I can stop the pain, yeah
Now I know only I can stop the rain
Only I can stop the rain, stop the rain (what)
Only I can stop the rain
Only I can stop the rain because the rain falls on me
Now I know only I can stop the rain
Only I can stop the rain
I'm out

One More Road To Cross

Uh, this is life (this is life)
This is what I know (this what I know)
So to me (so to me) this is life (this is life)

One more road to cross
One more risk to take
Gotta live my life
Like there's one more move to make

One more road to cross
One more risk to take
Gotta live my life
Like there's one more move to make

I'm up at like 6 AM to check this nigga
We work the night shift, and I gots to check them figures
I knock on his door, people talkin' 'bout "He ain't there"
But the house is packed, shit, I know he here somewhere
See, money get high, I don't knock what a nigga do to get by
Just make sure you gettin' by don't f*ck with me gettin' mine
Ain't the first time he ran off, shoulda split his shit then
Hate to think of what he's did, and if I catch him slippin'
Won't be an ass-whippin, I can tell you that
I keep it real with this cat, he go and sell two packs
And run off (damn), tell me he was locked down up North
And you out a week later? That's bullshit! I bust off
I need this dough, f*ck you think, I'm here for my health?
I need this wealth because I feed myself
You play with my life when you play with my money
Playin' around but this'll be the last time you think somethin's funny

One more road to cross
One more risk to take
Gotta live my life
Like there's one more move to make

One more road to cross
One more risk to take
Gotta live my life
Like there's one more move to make

Yo, I've been casin' the liquor store for a month now
With me and two other niggas is about to run up in there and shut it down
They got four people on the inside, one stay in the back
Two stock boys, one at the register, but he count the stacks
Aight, bitch, put on the ski mask, make sure that when we ask
For the dough, they know that we takin' all three bags
See that? We got a hero, shoot that nigga
Matter of fact, you hit the back, I'll put two in that nigga
Hard headed motherf*ckers always get it
I told him what would happen if he moved, the nigga moved, so I did it
Did you get it? I asked my man as he was comin' from the back
Nigga opened his mouth, said nothin', and fell out flat
This cat come out spittin', hittin' my mans, his mans
Couldn't control what was in his hands
I'm hit, damn! I bust back and got the f*ck up out of there
Didn't get a dime, but at least I got up out of there

One more road to cross
One more risk to take
Gotta live my life
Like there's one more move to make

One more road to cross
One more risk to take
Gotta live my life
Like there's one more move to make

Ayo, I see it, try to avoid it, but it comes
That's how it's goin' in the slums over crumbs
Somethin' little becomes somethin' major
Niggas gettin' blown up like a pager, ear to ear with the razor
Pour out my soul, took control of hurt
Why must Earl Simmons swim in dirt?
I'm gon' make it work, twenty-eight and tryin' to get baptized
Priest scared to touch me 'cause he said I gave him bad vibes
Ride when I die, straight down, but I'm plottin'
We all gots to go but who wants to be forgotten?
I'm a leave a mark, and it won't be the mark of the devil
Throw dirt and may your hands burn when you touch the shovel
The level of animosity is stoppin' me from thrivin'
F*ck what them niggas is talkin' about, I'm survivin'
Alive and goin' through it, but I made my bed
So now it's in these flames that I lay my head

One more road to cross
One more risk to take
Gotta live my life
Like there's one more move to make

One more road to cross
One more risk to take
Gotta live my life
Like there's one more move to make

One more road to cross
One more risk to take
Gotta live my life
Like there's one more move to make

One more road to cross
One more risk to take
Gotta live my life
Like there's one more move to make

Slippin'

Hahaha, uh
See, to live is to suffer
But to survive
Well, that's to find meaning in the suffering

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

I've been through mad different phases like mazes, to find my way
And now I know that happy days are not far away
If I'm strong enough I'll live long enough to see my kids
Doin' somethin' more constructive with their time than bids
I know because I been there
Now I'm in there, sit back and look at what it took for me to get there
First came the bullshit the drama with my Mama
She got on some fly shit, so I split
And said that I'ma be that seed that doesn't need much to succeed
Strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesn't bleed
I'm ready for the world or at least I thought I was
Baggin' niggas when I caught a buzz for thinkin about how short I was
Goin' too fast, it wouldn't last but yo, I couldn't tell
Group homes and institutions prepared my ass for jail
They put me in a situation, forcin' me to be a man
When I was just learning to stand without a helpin' hand
Damn, was it my fault? Something I did?
To make a father leave his first kid, at seven doin my first bid
Back on the scene at fourteen with a scheme
To get more cream than I'd ever seen in a dream
And by all means I will be livin' high off the hog
And I never gave a f*ck about much but my dog
That's the only muthaf*cka I'd hit off with my last
Just another little nigga headed nowhere fast

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

That ain't the half, shit get's worse as I get older
Actions become bolder, heart got colder
Chip on my shoulder that I dared a nigga to touch
Didn't need a clique 'cause I scared a nigga that much
One deep with the pit, startin' shit for kicks
Catchin' vics, throwin' bricks, gettin' by bein' slick
Used to get high just to get by
Used to have to puff my L in the morning before I get fly
Ate somethin', a couple of forties made me hate something
I did some coke now I'm ready to take something
Three years later showing signs of stress
Didn't keep my hair cut or give a f*ck how I dressed
I'm possessed by the darker side, livin' the cruddy life
Shit like this kept a nigga with a bloody knife
Wanna make records but I'm f*ckin' it up
I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom
Niggas talkin' shit, was like "Damn, look how that rock got him"
Open like a window, no more indo
Look at a video, say to myself "that could've been yo
Ass on the TV", believe me, it could be done
Somethin' gots to give, gots to change 'cause now I got a son
I gots to do the right thing for shorty
And that means no more gettin' high, drinkin' 40s
So I get back lookin' type slick again
Fake niggas jump back on my dick again
Nothin' but love for those that know how it feel
And much respect to all my niggas that kept it real
Kept a nigga strong, kept a nigga from doin' wrong
Niggas know who they is and this is yo f*ckin' song
And to my boo who stuck with a nigga through
All the bullshit, you'll get yours because it's due

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

You don't wanna party then your ass gotta go (what)
Now you can ride to this motherf*cker
Bounce to this motherf*cker
Freak to this motherf*cker
Let's get it on
Get it on the floor (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor (yeah) (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (come on) (woo)

Once again, it's the darker nigga
Hit or spark a nigga, break apart a nigga
But the dog is bigger, under stress
So unless you wanna get blessed to the chest
With slugs from the Smith & Wess, rest
Or the pump'll put a hurt on a nigga
Dump six motherf*ckin' feet of dirt on a nigga
My hands stay dirty, 'cause I play dirty the mob way (what)
You don't know? F*ck it find out the hard (come on)
A nigga's job is never done
I handle my business how it come
And there's never been a one on one
There hasn't been a problem, I dissolve 'em like salt
Lock it up like a vault whenever wreck is caught
And it's my fault, keep niggas on point duckin' down
Niggas like you need to get bust you f*ckin' clown
I extort to support my peeps
And hold down the fort, never get caught 'cause I creeps, nigga

Get it on the floor
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
You don't wanna party then your ass gotta go (what)
You don't wanna party then your ass gotta go (what)
Now you can ride to this motherf*cker
Bounce to this motherf*cker
Freak to this motherf*cker
Let's get it on
Get it on the floor (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor (uh) (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (woo)

I'm at the crossroads, look, but I'm not really sure which way to go
Should I play the low for what I did the other day
They on their way, the flow got me striking this random
I can't stand 'em, fake-ass niggas want to be the Phantom
Looking over my shoulder, cause it's colder than it was
And start shorty, because I'm a little older than cuz
And the buzz from the saw, wit the chain to your brain
Will turn that big nigga to a f*cking stain
The pain from the dirt makes the hurt go away for a minute
But I'm gon' die by it 'cause I'm like knee-deep in it
And you motherf*ckers wonder why I start shit
'Cause when you look in my face you see that hard shit
'Cause I done been to hell and back, I ain't rich selling crack
I'd rather rob a nigga, leave him with a shell up in his back
On the real just to show proof, hit the GWB
And blow the whole roof off the toll booth, bitch ass nigga

Get it on the floor
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
You don't wanna party then your ass gotta go (what)
You don't wanna party then your ass gotta go (what)
Now you can ride to this motherf*cker
Bounce to this motherf*cker
Freak to this motherf*cker
Let's get it on
Get it on the floor (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor (uh) (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (woo)

When I crawl, leave a nigga sprawled out after I smoke 'em
I'll slit his throat, dick in the mud and let his blood choke 'em
Up north, niggas get the pick stuck up in 'em
And in the streets, bitches get the dick stuck up in 'em
My M.O. is manslaughter kid
'Cause on the reals I done wet up more motherf*ckers than water did
Slid, cause I got to slide when the dirt is done
A homicide but they want me on the Murder 1
But as long as I got my gun, I'm aight
Stay outta sight while it's light, and then come out at night
To make moves again, stomp and bruise again
I know I'm going to hell 'cause I choose to sin
All my motherf*cking life I been the devil's advocate
Now niggas never even knew the devil had a kid
But he does and when you hear the buzz of the chainsaw
You'll know what I'll split your motherf*cking brains for

Get it on the floor
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
You don't wanna party then your ass gotta go (what)
You don't wanna party then your ass gotta go (what)
Now you can ride to this motherf*cker
Bounce to this motherf*cker
Freak to this motherf*cker
Let's get it on
Get it on the floor (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor (uh) (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (woo)

Don't start nothin', it won't be nothin'
Don't start nothin', it won't be nothin'
You wanna start somethin', it's gon' be somethin'
You wanna start somethin', it's gon' be somethin', yo
Don't start nothin', it won't be nothin'
Don't start nothin', it won't be nothin'
You wanna start somethin', it's gon' be somethin'
You wanna start somethin', it's gon' be somethin', come on, yo

Here We Go Again

Same old shit, dog, just a different day (it is not a f*ckin' game)
You know how niggas do when we play how we play
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
If it's f*ck me, nigga, you know it's f*ck you

I kick it to shorty to try to help him understand (uh)
Hit him with work 'cause, yo, that's my little man (uh-huh)
He asked a few questions 'bout the game, and I told him (yeah)
So when he made a bad move, it was my place to scold him (aight)
Never told him nothin' wrong, kept it fair
Didn't listen, so I might as well have been talkin' to the air (damn)
Everybody makes mistakes, a mistake is aight
But if it ain't, I'm a tell you straight, time to say goodnight
Nobody likes to be played regardless of the relationship
But shorty's f*ckin' up big time, I hate this shit
I'm caught in the middle of havin' love for a lil' nigga
And knowin' what's expected of me as a real nigga (damn)
My next move is crucial, what do I do?
How do I keep it real with shorty and my crew?
Didn't want to kill him, so instead of puttin' the MAC on him
I did the only thing I could do, turn my back on him (aight)

Here we go again
Same old shit, dog, just a different day
Here we go again
You know how niggas do when we play how we play
Here we go again
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
Here we go again
So if it's f*ck me, nigga, then you know it's f*ck you

Niggas that I f*ck wit' want to get him dead
But I'm cool with shorty's peoples, so I let him live
Under normal circumstances, he would be a marked man
But I hit him with a grand, just didn't shake his hand (oh)
Go about your business, do what you gonna do (uh)
Be what you gon' be, I wash my hands, I'm through (aight)
I can forgive, I just can't forget
You're on your own, lil' man, don't ask me for shit (no)
If you paid attention to what I taught you, then you good (uh)
If I see you again, forget it, understood?
Go 'head before I change my mind 'cause you know you should be dead
"I just wanted to say" Ah! Go 'head!
Instinct told me to kill him, but the savior is
I'm a good nigga, plus I owed his peeps a favor (hmm)
But I also knew the decision I just made (yeah)
Went against the rules of the game that we played (damn)

Here we go again
Same old shit, dog, just a different day
Here we go again
You know how niggas do when we play how we play
Here we go again
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
Here we go again
So if it's f*ck me, nigga, then you know it's f*ck you

I should have followed my first instinct 'cause I knew
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do
Now this nigga's f*ckin' with the competition (what)
Ungrateful motherf*cker, shoulda got him missin' (what)
This nigga got the nerve to take my kindness for a weakness
Gots ta get back on some street shit so I can creep this
Rat, when I act, take one, set him up, to take two
Get him there, take three, get him done
Wasn't hard for me to get him where I wanted him, confronted him
Bzt, click, there is a bullet in one of them
Feelin' lucky? Click, looks like you are
Click, click, click, luck ain't goin' too far
What you did was throw on another pair of shoes
And they just happened to be too big
What you did was stupid (damn), real f*ckin' stupid (aight)
Well, shorty, I gave you a chance, and what did you do?
Threw it back in my f*ckin' face, so f*ck you too! Aight

Here we go again
Same old shit, dog, just a different day
Here we go again
You know how niggas do when we play how we play
Here we go again
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
Here we go again
So if it's f*ck me, nigga, then you know it's f*ck you

Grand Finale

I ain't goin back to jail
Next time, the county or the state see me
It's gonna be in a bag

Uhh, this is it baby
End of the road, ha hah
When you a dawg, you a dawg for life
You don't hear me though, you don't hear me though
You don't hear me though, c'mon, c'mon

Watch them young guns that take none, nobody safe
From the Friday The 13th, ghetto Jason
Itchy trigger finger achin', snatch yo' ass
Out that S-class for fakin', forty-fo' blast
Is a bloodbath, take your first step down a thug path
Ain't no love here, just slugs here
Kids know the half, you get plugged here, that's just impossible
For the weak at last now behold the unstoppable
Third eye watchin' you, watchin' me
Throwin' rocks from the penalty box, cop a plea
Young g we was born to die, don't cry for me
Just keep the heat closely and ride for me
'Cause we family for better or worse, you and I
From the dirt, you snatch purse, so hard it hurt
To be here, and each year, I'm pourin' out more beer
For deceased peers, holdin' fort
Police line 'do not cross', they found his corpse
In the loft with the head cut off, and butt naked
Homicide the crime method, add another
Killer verse to the murder record, the grand finale

Who wan' test me, c'mon
Me shot pussy-hole fi fun

Hot corners, cops with warrants, every block is boring
Friday night, getting bent, liquor pourin'
My dawg, not even home a month yet, and blaze a girl
In the stomach, he robbin' niggaz who pumpin'
Lil' blood got popped, by the group home cat
Everybody nervous in the hood, pullin' they gats
Fiends yellin' out, "who got those" go and see
Shorty snot-nosed, he don't floss but he got dough
Thug faces, fugitives runnin' from court cases
Slugs shootin' past for the love of drug paper
Queens cap peelers, soldiers, drug dealers
And God'll throw a beam of lightning down 'cause he feel us
May the next one, strike me down if I'm not the realest
The mayor want to call the SWAT team to come and kill us
But, dawgs are friends, if one see the morgue, one'll live
To get revenge, and we ride to the end
Bravehearts blow the lye with Henn, and still rise
Took alive with live men, my man got three-six to eighteen
And only five in, the belly of the beast
Didn't want to hear the shit I tried to tell him on the streets
It's irrelevant, the beast love to eat black meat
And got us niggas from the hood, hangin' off his teeth
We slangin' to eat, bringin' the heat
Bulletholes, razor scars is the pain in the street, huh

When you a dawg you a dawg for life (Ride or die)
My dawgs feel pain from love (See eye to eye)
Give us one shot at life (Let us fly)
Come on niggas (We dawgs for life)

When you a dawg you a dawg for life (Ride or die)
My dawgs feel pain from love (See eye to eye)
Give us one shot at life (Let us fly)
Come on niggas (We dawgs for life)

There's mad money out here dawg
Mad money out here
What you tryin' to get it? (Word up)
You gonna bust your gun to get it? (Tsh, whatever yo)
I hear you, I hear you

I've lost my grip on reality or so it would seem
Pinch myself to wake up, 'cause I know it's a dream
Niggas that don't know me see me and think I'mma rob 'em
Niggas that know me well see me and think I'mma problem
I'm just a nigga that's misunderstood
But word to Miz I turn your last name to underwood
'Cause if I see it, I'mma take it and run with it, that's me
What type of bullshit is this nigga on? That's D
The dawg come and getcha outside
The more blood flows, when I plug holes with the snub nosed
Gun blows, bullets whistle, wouldn't miss you
Hit you all up in your mouth like it tried to kiss you
Drama, it's right here, how much you need?
Beat you down with gat see how much you bleed

Come on niggas (We dawgs for life)

If I gots to play I'ma play 'til I win
Since I gots to be here can't wait to begin
Wanna f*ck shorty can't stand shorty friend
'Cause honey friend f*ck many many men

You f*ckin' wit' me, ain't keepin' your health right
'Cause me and my Rolls, we keep it jail tie
The shit I pack is heavy, but the shells live
When they drop the same time, you drop without a fight
Burnin' anything that I'm puttin' my name on
You might take a 'Drag', but you can't flame 'On'
I know y'all niggas don't know me, wit a chain on
When it come to the fire I'm the kid they blame it on
When you see like eight cars then y'all know who we are
Niggas spittin' mean bars off the green jar
Never drunk but you see me leaned at the bar
Spittin' fire that'll melt the ice on your arm
You had that but for now dog give me that
'Cause dog you don't wanna see how my semi act
Fake hustlin' niggas you'll pump any pack
When it come to this shit, I done laid plenty flat (C'mon)

Don't let nobody tell you, what to hope and to fear
Do you hear what I tell you? Understand what you hear
Don't let nobody tell you, what to hope and to fear

Uh, uh
What you niggas want? 'Cause I got it right here
Y'all niggas front, then I hit you right there
Not really impressed by what niggas wear
Faggots talk shit but I really don't care
I'm the type of nigga that'll die for the cause
F*ck what you heard, I will die for my dogs
Ain't scared of shit, will ride in the fog
Same thing but a bigger size than yours
I f*ck with Drag-On, 'cause he spits the flame
Drag-On motherf*cker don't forget the name
And we all takin' over ain't shit the same
If you ain't out that mob nigga quit the game
And ain't no other cats got love for me

Blackout

Jay
F*ck that
This is it right here, baby
You know what it is

Yo, I used to have bad luck
Now you might see me in a Jag truck
Mad stuck, either with a dime or a bad duck
Double-R tee with the matchin' bandana
38-snub, blue steel with no hammer
And I see y'all niggas tryin' to glance at the 'Kiss
'Cause I walk around with your whole advance on my wrist
Boning your women, drunk off Coronas and lemon
And you know I'm still writin' the mean, lightin' the green
I need the bucket, even though I look right in the beam
Judge find out it's my team, he boost they bails
Niggas throw us on they album, try to boost they sales
We put our pies on the table and our eyes on the label
'Cause them rednecks up in the mountains'll try to slay you
Call me raspy, tell you what I want you to know
F*ck what you ask me, you probably don't want me to blow
I got a lot of horsepower so I'm able to skip
Usually a good nigga, even though I'm able to flip
You pay 30 for the 'Kiss (uh-huh) a hundred for The LOX (yeah)
And if we cool, then I write a hook for a drop
Whatever's in the bank is my bet, a Z-bull's my pet
And you can bet he'll get the legs and the neck

Yo, when my gun bust, send niggas to the fish like Swanson
New York's youngest Bumpy Johnson, I put fear in y'all heads
Sheek Louch, type of nigga gasoline y'all beds
And that's warnin', if you alive in the mornin', that's fine
Now I suggest you hit the block and get what's rightfully mine
I want PC, see me? Tuck in your chains
I got niggas my pop's age that lifestyle ain't changed
It's like wake up, move a brick, half of it slow
Make car money, check with Sheek, go f*ck with a ho
I rock a waist-length mink, do-rag under my fitted
And I don't even want waves, Timbs be halfway new
That's Sheek in the dress-up club 'cause I don't f*ck with shoes
And for my nigga's life, I swear to the Bible, let it be told
I put thirty in your head, all in the same hole
'Cause we got the same goal, and you try and tamper with mine?
Don't make me motherf*ckin' leave you with some shit in your spine
F*ck with me, you be a was-nigga, nigga was dope
Nigga was gettin' money 'fore I extorted your coke, 'ju crazy?

Ayo, catch me with a .38 box of shells
In a ninety-eight Lincoln eatin' pasta shells
Order to go, always got a box of Ls
Blow, stay on the low, get a Heine' and swig
I'm Pinero, so I hate a snake, rat, or a pig
I pop shit 'cause I'm the second best, the first was BIG
Y'all niggas is sonned out, let me speak to your father
'Cause I like to play chess and I swing the revolver
If I don't like a nigga, I don't even be bothered
I spit, I'm just a crooked nigga goin' legit
You hold your nine if you holdin' a brick
Common sense, fed drama, you hit the Bahamas, get bent
L-O-X get respect like Sonny from Bronx Tale
Us and DMX, the Ruff Ryder cartel
Thirsty to live, are y'all niggas eager to die?
I tell all my niggas ride, you won't leave with a dime
Motherf*cker

Yeah, yeah
I'm a monster, I sleep whole winters, wake up and spit summers
Ghetto nigga, puttin' up Will Smith numbers
Surrounded by sixes and Hummers, bitches among us
Tryin' not to let this bullshit become us
It started from hunger, 'til it all went insane
Now bitches notice the chains now that I hit my number
The chickens I twisted (uh), see the digits unlisted (yeah)
The beeper done changed, you dead bitch, the reaper done came
I suggest niggas stop speakin' my name
'Cause trust me, y'all can still feel the heat in the rain
I keep creepin', streets keep watchin', I keep poppin'
Niggas is hot heads and the bullets is heat-seekin'
Jay flow for pesos, chase hoes, not
I just circle 'round the block in a drop
Tell them jump through the top (uh-huh)
Where the sun roof used to be
I could see y'all not used to me
Nigga flows like none other, I'm the meanest
Toughest Don Dada, the gun butt ya
You the type that bust a lot of shots and none touch ya
I'm the type that get excited, when the gun touch ya, motherf*ckers
Y'all niggas 'bout to witness a dynasty like no other

Grr
I'm headed nowhere fast
Run in the place (uh), gat in my waist
Niggas wanted a taste, but wouldn't come to my face (uh)
So what that mean? You cats is playin' games again
So now what I do? Start namin' names again (what?)
All you motherf*ckers know that I speak from the heart (uh)
Play like you don't know L-O-X is gon' bark
We can take it there, but to make it fair, get some more niggas
Styles, Sheek, Jay, we comin' with like four niggas (aight?)
Y'all niggas best to stop playin'
It'll be the ones you've forgotten about
That'll get you shot in your mouth (arf, arf)
Got my dogs covered (uh)
Plus it's all gravy like chicken when it's smothered (what?)
It's dark and I love it (uh)
Get him, boy, let him loose (come on)
You want it with the dog or the gun? Let him choose (come on)

Slippin'

Hahaha, uh
See, to live is to suffer
But to survive
Well, that's to find meaning in the suffering

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

I've been through mad different phases like mazes, to find my way
And now I know that happy days are not far away
If I'm strong enough I'll live long enough to see my kids
Doin' somethin' more constructive with their time than bids
I know because I been there
Now I'm in there, sit back and look at what it took for me to get there
First came the bullshit the drama with my Mama
She got on some fly shit, so I split
And said that I'ma be that seed that doesn't need much to succeed
Strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesn't bleed
I'm ready for the world or at least I thought I was
Baggin' niggas when I caught a buzz for thinkin about how short I was
Goin' too fast, it wouldn't last but yo, I couldn't tell
Group homes and institutions prepared my ass for jail
They put me in a situation, forcin' me to be a man
When I was just learning to stand without a helpin' hand
Damn, was it my fault? Something I did?
To make a father leave his first kid, at seven doin my first bid
Back on the scene at fourteen with a scheme
To get more cream than I'd ever seen in a dream
And by all means I will be livin' high off the hog
And I never gave a f*ck about much but my dog
That's the only muthaf*cka I'd hit off with my last
Just another little nigga headed nowhere fast

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

That ain't the half, shit get's worse as I get older
Actions become bolder, heart got colder
Chip on my shoulder that I dared a nigga to touch
Didn't need a clique 'cause I scared a nigga that much
One deep with the pit, startin' shit for kicks
Catchin' vics, throwin' bricks, gettin' by bein' slick
Used to get high just to get by
Used to have to puff my L in the morning before I get fly
Ate somethin', a couple of forties made me hate something
I did some coke now I'm ready to take something
Three years later showing signs of stress
Didn't keep my hair cut or give a f*ck how I dressed
I'm possessed by the darker side, livin' the cruddy life
Shit like this kept a nigga with a bloody knife
Wanna make records but I'm f*ckin' it up
I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom
Niggas talkin' shit, was like "Damn, look how that rock got him"
Open like a window, no more indo
Look at a video, say to myself "that could've been yo
Ass on the TV", believe me, it could be done
Somethin' gots to give, gots to change 'cause now I got a son
I gots to do the right thing for shorty
And that means no more gettin' high, drinkin' 40s
So I get back lookin' type slick again
Fake niggas jump back on my dick again
Nothin' but love for those that know how it feel
And much respect to all my niggas that kept it real
Kept a nigga strong, kept a nigga from doin' wrong
Niggas know who they is and this is yo f*ckin' song
And to my boo who stuck with a nigga through
All the bullshit, you'll get yours because it's due

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

We don't give a what-what
We don't give a what-what (shit)

Get it on the floor
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor

Get it on the floor (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor (yeah) (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (come on) (woo)

Once again, it's the darker nigga
Hit or spark a nigga, break apart a nigga
But the dog is bigger, under stress
So unless you wanna get blessed to the chest
With slugs from the Smith & Wess, rest
Or the pump'll put a hurt on a nigga
Dump six motherf*ckin' feet of dirt on a nigga
My hands stay dirty, 'cause I play dirty the mob way (what)
You don't know? F*ck it find out the hard (come on)
A nigga's job is never done
I handle my business how it come
And there's never been a one on one
There hasn't been a problem, I dissolve 'em like salt
Lock it up like a vault whenever wreck is caught
And it's my fault, keep niggas on point duckin' down
Niggas like you need to get bust you f*ckin' clown
I extort to support my peeps
And hold down the fort, never get caught 'cause I creeps, nigga

Get it on the floor
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
You don't wanna party then your ass gotta go (what)

Let's get it on
Get it on the floor (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor (uh) (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (woo)

I'm at the crossroads, look, but I'm not really sure which way to go
Should I play the low for what I did the other day
They on their way, the flow got me striking this random
I can't stand 'em, fake-ass niggas want to be the Phantom
Looking over my shoulder, cause it's colder than it was
And start shorty, because I'm a little older than cuz
And the buzz from the saw, wit the chain to your brain
Will turn that big nigga to a f*cking stain
The pain from the dirt makes the hurt go away for a minute
But I'm gon' die by it 'cause I'm like knee-deep in it
And you motherf*ckers wonder why I start shit
'Cause when you look in my face you see that hard shit
'Cause I done been to hell and back, I ain't rich selling crack
I'd rather rob a nigga, leave him with a shell up in his back
On the real just to show proof, hit the GWB
And blow the whole roof off the toll booth, bitch ass nigga

Get it on the floor
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
You don't wanna party then your ass gotta go (what)
You don't wanna party then your ass gotta go (what)
Now you can ride to this motherf*cker
Bounce to this motherf*cker
Freak to this motherf*cker
Let's get it on
Get it on the floor (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor (uh) (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (woo)

When I crawl, leave a nigga sprawled out after I smoke 'em
I'll slit his throat, dick in the mud and let his blood choke 'em
Up north, niggas get the pick stuck up in 'em
And in the streets, bitches get the dick stuck up in 'em
My M.O. is manslaughter kid
'Cause on the reals I done wet up more motherf*ckers than water did
Slid, cause I got to slide when the dirt is done
A homicide but they want me on the Murder 1
But as long as I got my gun, I'm aight
Stay outta sight while it's light, and then come out at night
To make moves again, stomp and bruise again
I know I'm going to hell 'cause I choose to sin
All my motherf*cking life I been the devil's advocate
Now niggas never even knew the devil had a kid
But he does and when you hear the buzz of the chainsaw
You'll know what I'll split your motherf*cking brains for

Get it on the floor
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
You don't wanna party then your ass gotta go (what)
You don't wanna party then your ass gotta go (what)
Now you can ride to this motherf*cker
Bounce to this motherf*cker
Freak to this motherf*cker
Let's get it on
Get it on the floor (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (what)
Get it on the floor (uh) (what)
Get it, get it on the floor (woo)

Don't start nothin', it won't be nothin'
Don't start nothin', it won't be nothin'
You wanna start somethin', it's gon' be somethin'
You wanna start somethin', it's gon' be somethin', yo
Don't start nothin', it won't be nothin'
Don't start nothin', it won't be nothin'
You wanna start somethin', it's gon' be somethin'
You wanna start somethin', it's gon' be somethin', come on, yo

But I hit him with a grand, just didn't shake his hand (oh)
Go about your business, do what you gonna do (uh)
Be what you gon' be, I wash my hands, I'm through (aight)
I can forgive, I just can't forget
You're on your own, lil' man, don't ask me for shit (no)
If you paid attention to what I taught you, then you good (uh)
If I see you again, forget it, understood?
Go 'head before I change my mind 'cause you know you should be dead
"I just wanted to say" Ah! Go 'head!
Instinct told me to kill him, but the savior is
I'm a good nigga, plus I owed his peeps a favor (hmm)
But I also knew the decision I just made (yeah)
Went against the rules of the game that we played (damn)

Here we go again
Same old shit, dog, just a different day

Here we go again
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

I should have followed my first instinct 'cause I knew
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do
Now this nigga's f*ckin' with the competition (what)
Ungrateful motherf*cker, shoulda got him missin' (what)
This nigga got the nerve to take my kindness for a weakness
Gots ta get back on some street shit so I can creep this
Rat, when I act, take one, set him up, to take two
Get him there, take three, get him done
Wasn't hard for me to get him where I wanted him, confronted him
Bzt, click, there is a bullet in one of them
Feelin' lucky? Click, looks like you are
Click, click, click, luck ain't goin' too far
What you did was throw on another pair of shoes
And they just happened to be too big
What you did was stupid (damn), real f*ckin' stupid (aight)
Well, shorty, I gave you a chance, and what did you do?
Threw it back in my f*ckin' face, so f*ck you too! Aight

Here we go again

You like how everything is goin'? You like what I gave ya? (Yeah)
You know if you was goin' down I'd be the one to save ya (true)
But yo, I need a favor, these cats across town hate me (uh-huh)
Plus their behavior hasn't been too good lately
What? Anything for you, dog, where them niggas at?
38th and Broadway (aight, let me get the gat)
Run up on 'em strapped, bust off caps in four niggas
Laid low for 'bout a month then killed two more niggas
Now I'm ready to chill, but you still want me to kill
Look at what I did for you, dog, come on, keep it real
Aight, f*ck it, I'ma do it, who is it this time?
Hey yo, remember that kid Sean you used to be with in '89?
Nah, that's my man, I thought I was your man?
But yo, that's my nigga, hey, who's your biggest fan?
Either do it or give me your right hand, that's what you said
I see now ain't nothin' but trouble ahead (uh-huh)

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog (uh)
How you gonna see 'em if you livin' in the fog? (Uh)
The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog (uh)

In the fog, the fog, livin' in the fog
How you gonna see 'em if you livin' in the fog?
How you gonna see 'em if you livin' in the fog?
The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

To be continued, motherf*ckers

Who We Be

Uh, yeah
Another one of those

Down to earth joints

You know how we roll)
There's so many that don't know (you knew I could do it)
They don't know who we be (this goes out to my nigga Q, rest in peace, baby)
They don't know who we be (but you still here with me)

The jerk, the fame, the work, the game (uh)
The friends, the foes, the Benz, the hoes (what)

The streets, the cops, the system, harassment (uh-huh)
The options, get shot, go to jail, or getcha ass kicked (aight)
The lawyers, the part they are of the puzzle (uh-huh)
The release, the warning, "Try not, to get in trouble" (damn)

The twenty-three hours that's locked, the one hour that's not (uh)
The silence, the dark, the mind so fragile (aight)
The wish that the streets would have took you when they had you (damn)
The days, the months, the years, despair
One night on my knees, here it comes, the prayer

They don't know who we be
They don't know who we be
They don't know who we be
They don't know who we be

This here is all about
My wife, my kids (uh-huh), the life that I live (uh-huh)

Wish God, I didn't have 'em, but I'm glad that he made 'em (uh)

The guns, knives and bats, every time we scrap
The hustlin', the dealin', the robbin', the stealin' (uh)
The shit hit the ceilin', little boy with no feelin's (damn)
The frustration, rage, trapped inside a cage
The beatings 'til the age I carried a twelve gauge (aight)
Somebody stop me (please), somebody come and get me (what)
Little did I know that the Lord was ridin' with me
The dark, the light (uh), my heart (uh), the fight (uh)
The wrong (uh), the right (uh), it's gone (uh), aight

That's from the heart
(Come on)

Grand Finale

I ain't goin back to jail
Next time, the county or the state see me
It's gonna be in a bag

Uhh, this is it baby
End of the road, ha hah
When you a dawg, you a dawg for life
You don't hear me though, you don't hear me though
You don't hear me though, c'mon, c'mon

Watch them young guns that take none, nobody safe
From the Friday The 13th, ghetto Jason
Itchy trigger finger achin', snatch yo' ass
Out that S-class for fakin', forty-fo' blast
Is a bloodbath, take your first step down a thug path
Ain't no love here, just slugs here
Kids know the half, you get plugged here, that's just impossible
For the weak at last now behold the unstoppable
Third eye watchin' you, watchin' me
Throwin' rocks from the penalty box, cop a plea
Young g we was born to die, don't cry for me
Just keep the heat closely and ride for me
'Cause we family for better or worse, you and I
From the dirt, you snatch purse, so hard it hurt
To be here, and each year, I'm pourin' out more beer
For deceased peers, holdin' fort
Police line 'do not cross', they found his corpse
In the loft with the head cut off, and butt naked
Homicide the crime method, add another
Killer verse to the murder record, the grand finale

Who wan' test me, c'mon
Me shot pussy-hole fi fun

Hot corners, cops with warrants, every block is boring
Friday night, getting bent, liquor pourin'
My dawg, not even home a month yet, and blaze a girl
In the stomach, he robbin' niggaz who pumpin'
Lil' blood got popped, by the group home cat
Everybody nervous in the hood, pullin' they gats
Fiends yellin' out, "who got those" go and see
Shorty snot-nosed, he don't floss but he got dough
Thug faces, fugitives runnin' from court cases
Slugs shootin' past for the love of drug paper
Queens cap peelers, soldiers, drug dealers
And God'll throw a beam of lightning down 'cause he feel us
May the next one, strike me down if I'm not the realest
The mayor want to call the SWAT team to come and kill us
But, dawgs are friends, if one see the morgue, one'll live
To get revenge, and we ride to the end
Bravehearts blow the lye with Henn, and still rise
Took alive with live men, my man got three-six to eighteen
And only five in, the belly of the beast
Didn't want to hear the shit I tried to tell him on the streets
It's irrelevant, the beast love to eat black meat
And got us niggas from the hood, hangin' off his teeth
We slangin' to eat, bringin' the heat
Bulletholes, razor scars is the pain in the street, huh

When you a dawg you a dawg for life (Ride or die)
My dawgs feel pain from love (See eye to eye)
Give us one shot at life (Let us fly)
Come on niggas (We dawgs for life)

When you a dawg you a dawg for life (Ride or die)
My dawgs feel pain from love (See eye to eye)
Give us one shot at life (Let us fly)
Come on niggas (We dawgs for life)

There's mad money out here dawg
Mad money out here
What you tryin' to get it? (Word up)
You gonna bust your gun to get it? (Tsh, whatever yo)
I hear you, I hear you

I've lost my grip on reality or so it would seem
Pinch myself to wake up, 'cause I know it's a dream
Niggas that don't know me see me and think I'mma rob 'em
Niggas that know me well see me and think I'mma problem
I'm just a nigga that's misunderstood
But word to Miz I turn your last name to underwood
'Cause if I see it, I'mma take it and run with it, that's me
What type of bullshit is this nigga on? That's D
The dawg come and getcha outside
The more blood flows, when I plug holes with the snub nosed
Gun blows, bullets whistle, wouldn't miss you
Hit you all up in your mouth like it tried to kiss you
Drama, it's right here, how much you need?
Beat you down with gat see how much you bleed
How much you plead, for your life, you was a killer
And all the bitches comin' up out that ass you feelin', gettin realer
Now beg for your life, one more time, one more crime
One more nine, c'mon cry nigga
It's over! This is the shit, that hits hard
You either the last one standing, or the last one to fall

When you a dawg you a dawg for life (Ride or die)
My dawgs feel pain from love (See eye to eye)
Give us one shot at life (Let us fly)
Come on niggas (We dawgs for life)

When you a dawg you a dawg for life (Ride or die)
My dawgs feel pain from love (See eye to eye)
Give us one shot at life (Let us fly)
Come on niggas (We dawgs for life)

If I'm lookin' for somethin' it's probably a fight
If I'm goin' f*ck bitches then they better be tight
If that's dead, then the head better be right
If I gots to play I'ma play 'til I win
Since I gots to be here can't wait to begin
Wanna f*ck shorty can't stand shorty friend
'Cause honey friend f*ck many many men
Stay wit the rats 'cause the rats is real
Wanna f*ck, then we f*ck, already know the deal
Shit, f*ck what you look like, just show the real

'Cause me and my Rolls, we keep it jail tie
The shit I pack is heavy, but the shells live
When they drop the same time, you drop without a fight
Burnin' anything that I'm puttin' my name on
You might take a 'Drag', but you can't flame 'On'
I know y'all niggas don't know me, wit a chain on
When it come to the fire I'm the kid they blame it on
When you see like eight cars then y'all know who we are
Niggas spittin' mean bars off the green jar
Never drunk but you see me leaned at the bar
Spittin' fire that'll melt the ice on your arm
You had that but for now dog give me that
'Cause dog you don't wanna see how my semi act
Fake hustlin' niggas you'll pump any pack
When it come to this shit, I done laid plenty flat (C'mon)

Ain't no cats gon' bust slugs for me
Ain't no cats gon' shed blood for me
But my dogs, is gon' be a thug for me

Don't let nobody tell you, what to hope and to fear
Do you hear what I tell you? Understand what you hear
Don't let nobody tell you, what to hope and to fear

Uh, uh
What you niggas want? 'Cause I got it right here
Y'all niggas front, then I hit you right there
Not really impressed by what niggas wear
Faggots talk shit but I really don't care
I'm the type of nigga that'll die for the cause
F*ck what you heard, I will die for my dogs
Ain't scared of shit, will ride in the fog
Same thing but a bigger size than yours
I f*ck with Drag-On, 'cause he spits the flame
Drag-On motherf*cker don't forget the name
And we all takin' over ain't shit the same
If you ain't out that mob nigga quit the game
And ain't no other cats got love for me
Ain't no other cats gon' bust slugs for me
Ain't no other cats gon' shed blood for me
But my dogs, is gon' be a thug wit me, c'mon

Blackout

Jay
F*ck that
This is it right here, baby
You know what it is

Yo, I used to have bad luck
Now you might see me in a Jag truck
Mad stuck, either with a dime or a bad duck
Double-R tee with the matchin' bandana
38-snub, blue steel with no hammer
And I see y'all niggas tryin' to glance at the 'Kiss
'Cause I walk around with your whole advance on my wrist
Boning your women, drunk off Coronas and lemon
And you know I'm still writin' the mean, lightin' the green
I need the bucket, even though I look right in the beam
Judge find out it's my team, he boost they bails
Niggas throw us on they album, try to boost they sales
We put our pies on the table and our eyes on the label
'Cause them rednecks up in the mountains'll try to slay you
Call me raspy, tell you what I want you to know
F*ck what you ask me, you probably don't want me to blow
I got a lot of horsepower so I'm able to skip
Usually a good nigga, even though I'm able to flip
You pay 30 for the 'Kiss (uh-huh) a hundred for The LOX (yeah)
And if we cool, then I write a hook for a drop
Whatever's in the bank is my bet, a Z-bull's my pet
And you can bet he'll get the legs and the neck

Yo, when my gun bust, send niggas to the fish like Swanson
New York's youngest Bumpy Johnson, I put fear in y'all heads
Sheek Louch, type of nigga gasoline y'all beds
And that's warnin', if you alive in the mornin', that's fine
Now I suggest you hit the block and get what's rightfully mine
I want PC, see me? Tuck in your chains
I got niggas my pop's age that lifestyle ain't changed
It's like wake up, move a brick, half of it slow
Make car money, check with Sheek, go f*ck with a ho
I rock a waist-length mink, do-rag under my fitted
And I don't even want waves, Timbs be halfway new
That's Sheek in the dress-up club 'cause I don't f*ck with shoes
And for my nigga's life, I swear to the Bible, let it be told
I put thirty in your head, all in the same hole
'Cause we got the same goal, and you try and tamper with mine?
Don't make me motherf*ckin' leave you with some shit in your spine
F*ck with me, you be a was-nigga, nigga was dope
Nigga was gettin' money 'fore I extorted your coke, 'ju crazy?

Ayo, catch me with a .38 box of shells
In a ninety-eight Lincoln eatin' pasta shells
Order to go, always got a box of Ls
Blow, stay on the low, get a Heine' and swig
I'm Pinero, so I hate a snake, rat, or a pig
I pop shit 'cause I'm the second best, the first was BIG
Y'all niggas is sonned out, let me speak to your father
'Cause I like to play chess and I swing the revolver
If I don't like a nigga, I don't even be bothered
I spit, I'm just a crooked nigga goin' legit
You hold your nine if you holdin' a brick
Common sense, fed drama, you hit the Bahamas, get bent
L-O-X get respect like Sonny from Bronx Tale
Us and DMX, the Ruff Ryder cartel
Thirsty to live, are y'all niggas eager to die?
I tell all my niggas ride, you won't leave with a dime
Motherf*cker

Yeah, yeah
I'm a monster, I sleep whole winters, wake up and spit summers
Ghetto nigga, puttin' up Will Smith numbers
Surrounded by sixes and Hummers, bitches among us
Tryin' not to let this bullshit become us
It started from hunger, 'til it all went insane
Now bitches notice the chains now that I hit my number
The chickens I twisted (uh), see the digits unlisted (yeah)
The beeper done changed, you dead bitch, the reaper done came
I suggest niggas stop speakin' my name
'Cause trust me, y'all can still feel the heat in the rain
I keep creepin', streets keep watchin', I keep poppin'
Niggas is hot heads and the bullets is heat-seekin'
Jay flow for pesos, chase hoes, not
I just circle 'round the block in a drop
Tell them jump through the top (uh-huh)
Where the sun roof used to be
I could see y'all not used to me
Nigga flows like none other, I'm the meanest
Toughest Don Dada, the gun butt ya
You the type that bust a lot of shots and none touch ya
I'm the type that get excited, when the gun touch ya, motherf*ckers
Y'all niggas 'bout to witness a dynasty like no other

Grr
I'm headed nowhere fast
Run in the place (uh), gat in my waist
Niggas wanted a taste, but wouldn't come to my face (uh)
So what that mean? You cats is playin' games again
So now what I do? Start namin' names again (what?)
All you motherf*ckers know that I speak from the heart (uh)
Play like you don't know L-O-X is gon' bark
We can take it there, but to make it fair, get some more niggas
Styles, Sheek, Jay, we comin' with like four niggas (aight?)
Y'all niggas best to stop playin'
It'll be the ones you've forgotten about
That'll get you shot in your mouth (arf, arf)
Got my dogs covered (uh)
Plus it's all gravy like chicken when it's smothered (what?)
It's dark and I love it (uh)
Get him, boy, let him loose (come on)
You want it with the dog or the gun? Let him choose (come on)
