Krayzie: | |
Dedicate this to all the niggas on the streets; niggas in the hood strugglin', | |
Doin' what the fuck they gotta do to make their money; and all the thugs, the | |
Hustlas, the gangstas, the playas, pimps. let's roll, let's roll. | |
[. . . ghetto love, ghetto love. i can feel that ghetto love, ghetto love . . .] | |
Street people [people] all my people be them niggas with an attitude. [we're | |
Ready for war.] the street mentality: it's do what you gotta do [do what you | |
Gotta do]. | |
I dedicate this to the niggas in the hood [where they at? where they at? where | |
They at?], keepin' it real on the street. niggas they practice what they preach, | |
Stayin' true until they d-i-e. niggas still strong. we keep on bailin' through | |
The stress and all the rest of the shit that's goin' on. speakin' of violence, i | |
See, you got to keep a pistol, 'cause if niggas think you're rich, you gon' be | |
Got, they out to pinch ya. bullshit you not--killin' because of the pump, and it | |
Drives us to the point of no return, especially when you 're gone off of the | |
Sherm. you could give a fuck about a nigga flossin'. while you walkin', he on | |
Sixteen switches. ain't that a bitch? but that's life. this shit ain't nothin' | |
Nice, and he'll take yours if his ain't right. and i can't stop 'em or knock | |
'em, but yo, i wouldn't even try, though. 'cause bible say, "hey, either repent | |
Or you will die." so [so, so], choose one [just one]: either repent and get | |
Saved, or put some food on your table for now. | |
Krayzie: | |
Street people [people]: all my people be them niggas with an attitude. [we're | |
Ready for war.] the street mentality: it's do what you gotta do [do what you | |
Gotta do]. | |
Krayzie [with niko]: | |
I see my sisters out there hustlin', man [strugglin', man.]. do what it takes, | |
But that's the brakes, rustle up what you can. gotta feed your babies [babies, | |
Yeah]. handle yourself your own business--don't wait on that nigga to get you | |
Nothin'. we been poor long enough, and i know you would scheme on somethin' | |
[somethin', yeah]. take the welfare, fuck it! the system givin' it to you, | |
'cause it's guilt on they conscience. don't let 'em fool you [don't let 'em fool | |
You, no]. really ain't doin' a nigga any favors, so come on and get the paper, | |
Paper, before you die, die. this verse is for my ghetto queens, tryin' to come | |
Up and get them better things, particularly cheddar cheese. make that money | |
[make that money]. work, work, work. whatever your occupation, as long as you | |
Bringin' home the bacon, bacon, bacon. don't let your enemy lock your mind, too. | |
And i hope y'all really been payin' attention 'cause it's 1999, ooh. [ooh-ooh, | |
Yeah.] though people comin' around, we gon' thug. so where the thugs at? gimme | |
Some of that ghetto love [ghettp love]. | |
Krayzie: | |
Street people [people]: all my people be them niggas with an attitude. [we're | |

Gotta do]. | |
Krayzie [with niko]: | |
Now if y'all feelin' me, let's get down and tear the roof off the mother. shoot | |
The muthafuckas! i'm serious and mean business. ready to pump pump and ride, you | |
With it? come on, put it out there. pump, pump, pump police. they treat us like | |
Animals--let's attack 'em like beasts. but hold on: 'fore you start fightin' | |
[hold on, hold on], let's brighten up the action scene, pass me the gasoline [no | |
More, no more]. i'm really not trippin' on this rappin' no more, 'cause i know | |
It won't last too much longer . when it's over, then i be a full-time soldier [i | |
Told you], if i make it out of the game with all my sanity. get paid, fuck the | |
Fame, get out quickly. understand me? 'cause at the rate i'm goin', pretty soon | |
They'll try to ban me for killin' these muthafuckas tryin' to tamper with my | |
Family. now they got me runnin' from these po-po's, tryin' to jam me, but i told | |
Them muthafuckas not to try to test my manly, and this is my mentality for | |
Fuckin' with the street life, street life [street life.] | |
