Lyrics

[00:00.80]
[00:19.42] Yo I'mma take it back to the old school like Red Dawn
[00:21.59] And blow the **** up like Lebanon
[00:23.85] You ain't my first or my second, you my thousandth born
[00:26.28] And I put you on all that shit you on
[00:28.71] The originator, kid, look what you done did
[00:30.95] Snitched, told a fib, sent feds to the crib
[00:33.38] I ain't under arrest, I'm David Koresh
[00:35.76] Bring a strap and a vest, send your mother my best
[00:38.15] Bring all your big guns and your funeral clothes
[00:40.52] Cause my rap's gonna feel like six Wacos
[00:42.88] Make a new set of laws and we?ll still break those
[00:45.31] Get a new list of drugs, we will take those
[00:47.62] Standing on the block in my b-boy pose
[00:50.11] Nike sneakers on my feet and my wrist stay froze
[00:52.41] Chilling on the corner in a b-boy stance
[00:54.78] With a gun in my pants and some blood on my hands
[00:57.29]
[00:57.46] Once upon a time not too far in the past
[00:59.53] When people said what they meant and lived life fast
[01:01.79] There was a young man who was misled
[01:04.35] By another mother****er, this is what he said
[01:06.59] Once upon a time less recently
[01:08.95] I had to walk around with the piece with me
[01:11.25] There was a young man who was misled
[01:13.58] So I put the gun to his head, this is what I said
[01:16.37]
[01:16.52] Dance with the Devil, conquer the planet with God
[01:18.63] Swim with the sharks and transcend unbearable odds
[01:20.80] Wrestle alligators, man-eaters, snakes, and gorillas
[01:23.26] I catch a bullet in my teeth and spit it back you killer
[01:25.66] I painted cathedrals with Michelangelo
[01:27.56] Decorated the face of a nasty hoe while the camcorder rolls
[01:30.37] I?m a certified stunner surrounded by murderers
[01:32.74] Tech 9 runners and pistol-packing homicide gunners
[01:35.23] Coka Nostradamus, holy rollers exploding martyrs
[01:37.54] We heat the block up hotter than molten lava
[01:39.90] Realer than rock stars dying in bathtubs choking on vomit
[01:42.27] I?m like a psychedelic drug that you open your mind with
[01:45.08] My logo incite riots, cause oppressed nations to rise in defiance
[01:47.54] Overthrowing any tyrant, any war machine, any shadow government structure
[01:51.78] On a grassy knoll my guns and ammo will touch ya, ****a
[01:54.51]
[01:54.83] Once upon a time not too far in the past
[01:56.69] When people said what they meant and lived life fast
[01:58.82] There was a young man who was misled
[02:01.19] By another mother****er, this is what he said
[02:03.64] Once upon a time less recently
[02:05.81] I had to walk around with the piece with me
[02:08.24] There was a young man who was misled
[02:10.54] So I put the gun to his head, this is what I said
[02:13.36]
[02:13.48] This is LCN, we ain't for the faint of heart
[02:15.66] We rearrange your teeth, leave your cheeks maimed with scars
[02:17.90] C'mon man, you know your grind ain't the same as ours
[02:20.33] The only time you held nines was in a game of cards
[02:22.65] And your crew is full of fags like a gang at Oz
[02:24.95] I roll with strictly underdogs who overcame the odds
[02:27.32] Pushers, villains, rap legends, hookers, and killers
[02:29.96] This is for the lost angels and the Brooklyn guerillas
[02:32.22] Boston stranglers, con artists, scammers, and thieves
[02:34.65] We **** porn stars right down to amateur freaks
[02:36.82] I need a grand in my sneaks, gram of the leak, hand on my piece
[02:39.25] Anything else is only bringing sand to the beach
[02:41.64] I'm a bad mother****er, that's why I rose above you
[02:44.01] When you're like me everybody loathes to love you
[02:46.25] Say I might be the next one OD'd in a room
[02:48.74] With an unreleased album and a seed in the womb
[02:51.23]
[02:51.36] Once upon a time not too far in the past
[02:53.56] When people said what they meant and lived life fast
[02:55.92] There was a young man who was misled
[02:58.25] By another mother****er, this is what he said
[03:00.61] Once upon a time less recently
[03:02.91] I had to walk around with the piece with me
[03:05.22] There was a young man who was misled
[03:07.77] So I put the gun to his head, this is what I said
