Yeah, I'm territorial, man
My city, my block, my people, my things, look
Saint Johns my block has always shown love
Shouldn't be a wonder why I talk about it so much
They watched me grow up, they watched me get clowned
They watched me swole up, they watched me slim down
They know I'm no punk that ****s with the in-crowd
They watch me throw knucks, they know I get down
They watch me blow up, shit, they watch me spit now
While I don't know much, I know I did them proud
I get it tatted on my back, 'cause I back the city
That way everywhere I'm at always have it with me
I'm territorial, you know about my family history
And loyalty is just encoded in my natural instinct
So don't move unless we say
All regrets be saved 'til my flesh decay
Droppin' F.B.A., that's Family Before Anything
Cross that, don't expect leeway
I'm territorial, my city, my street
My block, my people, my things
I'm territorial, you complain when you brush past us
May the Lord forgive you for your trespasses
My city, my street
My block, my people, my things
I'm territorial, I don't wanna look at what happened
And may the Lord forgive me for my trespasses
I won't work my life away for what a nine-to-five will pay
Honestly I can say that ain't the life of me
Night and day my life's insane
But despite the pain in my domain, I am King
I ride the beat like a train
I've seen brighter days, but life's a peach, why complain?
I'd rather go to County then sing
Territorial, even my cell in County is clean
I ain't a killer, man, picture a bounty on me
Warning shots, before you cross that boundary, think
'Cause that could cost the life of a man
When I draw the line in the sand, where right or wrong is a plan
If not the rifle to blam, I got the knife in my hand
If it's just bare fists I'll fight you off if I can
This my block, that's yo' street, rep it
My big guy Josh, that's my co-defendant
It's my work, they should hold me separate
But I'd rather die first than give the police leverage
I follow wherever my life's pointin' me
Defendin' my ground, that's my life's point to me
Illmaculate never conflicted with my loyalty
When in his absence, consider me vice royalty
I'm territorial, my city, my street
My block, my people, my things
I'm territorial, you complain when you brush past us
May the Lord forgive you for your trespasses
My city, my street
My block, my people, my things
I'm territorial, I don't wanna look at what happened
And may the Lord forgive me for my trespasses
I'm of the rarest breed, they should never dare to speak
In my presence, their cups are full and they're scared to drink
I give 'em clarity
I choose my words like my friends: carefully
And back both with sincerity
Steppin' back from the mirror, I need air to breathe
You know what I mean, you know what I mean
Standin' there [?
Money clip out, in a drunken fit soured
Ain't nothin' left that kills you once it gets counted
I'm familiar with the feeling when your hustle gets doubted
Lately it just seems there's a bunch of shit poutin'
Certain people, when I see 'em, beat the ****in' shit out 'em
Don't force me to lose control, 'cause truth be told
I treasure the lives of those close to me more than I do my own
So I swore that I'd put the chrome to your forehead prob'ly
Try to **** with my fam? Over your dead body!
I'm territorial, my city, my street
My block, my people, my things
I'm territorial, you complain when you brush past us
May the Lord forgive you for your trespasses
My city, my street
My block, my people, my things
I'm territorial, I don't wanna look at what happened
And may the Lord forgive me for my trespasses
