[This is the final boarding call for flight 1259 |
| [00:04.210] |
Departing from Los Angeles, final destination to St. Louis |
| [00:07.620]Thank you] |
|
| [00:09.850] |
Damn G, the spot's gettin' hot |
| [00:11.820] |
So how the fuck am I supposed to make a knot? |
| [00:14.690] |
Police looking at niggaz through a microscope |
| [00:16.970] |
In L.A. everybody and they momma sell dope |
| [00:19.340] |
They trying to stop it |
| [00:21.110] |
So what the fuck can I do to make a profit? |
| [00:23.290] |
Catch a flight to St. Louis |
| [00:25.810] |
That's cool, 'cause nobody knew us |
| [00:29.080] |
We stepped off the plane |
| [00:30.980] |
Four gang bangers, professional crack slangers |
| [00:33.060] |
Rented a car at wholesale |
| [00:35.420] |
Drove to the ghetto, and checked in a motel |
| [00:38.280] |
Unpacked and I grab the three eighty |
| [00:40.530] |
'Cause where we stayin', niggaz look shady |
| [00:43.160] |
But they can't fade South Central |
| [00:45.410] |
'Cause bustin' a cap is fundamental |
| [00:48.030] |
Checkin' out every block close |
| [00:49.950] |
Seein' which one will clock the most |
| [00:52.060] |
Yeah this is the one no doubt |
| [00:54.170] |
Bust a U Bone, and let's clear these niggaz out |
| [00:57.250] |
Ay ay man, what's up nigga? |
| [00:58.790] |
Yo, well this Lench Mob nigga |
| [01:02.250] |
Now clearin' em out meant casualties |
| [01:03.960] |
Still had the L.A. mentality |
| [01:06.210] |
Bust a cap, and out of there in a hurry |
| [01:08.600] |
Wouldn't you know, a drive by in Missouri |
| [01:10.850] |
Them fools got popped |
| [01:12.550] |
Took their corner next day, set up shop |
| [01:15.860] |
And it's better than slangin' in the valley |
| [01:18.680] |
Triple the profit makin' more than I did in Cali |
| [01:20.960] |
Breakin' off rocks like Barney Rubble |
| [01:23.020] |
'Cause them mark-ass niggaz don't want trouble |
| [01:25.310] |
And we ain't on edge when we do work |
| [01:27.450] |
Police don't recognize the khakis and the sweatshirts |
| [01:29.590] |
Getting bitches and they can't stand a |
| [01:31.770] |
Nineteen-ninety-one Tony Montana |
| [01:34.090] |
Now the shits like a war of gang violence |
| [01:37.850] |
Where it was never seen before |
| [01:39.310] |
Punks whirl when the gat bust |
| [01:41.100] |
Four Jheri Curl niggaz kickin' up dust |
| [01:43.410] |
And some of them are even lookin' up to us |
| [01:45.670] |
Wearing our colors and talkin' that gang fuss |
| [01:48.460] |
Giving up much love |
| [01:50.840] |
Dyin' for a street, that they ain't even heard of |
| [01:53.610] |
But other motherfuckers want to stand strong |
| [01:55.770] |
So you know the phrase, once again it's on |
| [01:58.630] |
Top of the news tonight, gangs from South Central |
| [02:00.900] |
Los Angeles which are known for their drive by shootings |
| [02:03.700] |
Have migrated into East St. Louis leaving three dead |
| [02:06.360] |
And two others injured, no arrests have been made |
| [02:08.040] |
Police say this is a nationwide trend |
| [02:10.000] |
With similar incidents occurring in Texas, Michigan, and Oklahoma |
| [02:16.770] |
My homie got shot he's a goner black |
| [02:19.020] |
St. Louis niggaz want they corner back |
| [02:21.540] |
Shooting in snowy weather |
| [02:23.300] |
It's illegal business, niggaz still can't stick together |
| [02:25.650] |
Fuckin' police got the four-one-one |
| [02:28.450] |
That L.A. ain't all, surf and sun |
| [02:31.170] |
But we ain't thinkin', bout the boys |
| [02:32.960] |
Feudin', like the Hatfield's and McCoys |
| [02:35.120] |
Now the shits gettin' tricky |
| [02:36.770] |
'Cause now they lookin' for the colors and the khakis |
| [02:39.690] |
Damn, the spot's gettin' hot from the battle |
| [02:42.240] |
About to pack up and start slangin' in Seattle |
| [02:44.320] |
But the NARCs, raid about six in the morning |
| [02:47.170] |
Try to catch a nigga while he's yawnin' |
| [02:48.980] |
Put his Glock to my chest as I paused |
| [02:52.100] |
Went to jail in my motherfuckin' drawers |
| [02:54.250] |
Tryin' to give me, fifty seven years |
| [02:55.210] |
Face will be full of those tattooed tears |
| [02:58.700] |
It's the same old story and the same old nigga stuck |
| [03:01.520] |
And the public defender ain't givin' a fuck |
| [03:03.840] |
The fool must be sparkin' |
| [03:05.390] |
Talkin' about a double life plea bargain |
| [03:08.090] |
You got to deal with the Crips and Bloods by hand G |
| [03:10.750] |
Plus the Black Guerrilla family |
| [03:13.350] |
And the white pride don't like North side |
| [03:15.510] |
And it's a riot if any more niggaz die |
| [03:18.170] |
No parole or probation |
| [03:19.920] |
Now this is a young man's summer vacation |
| [03:22.430] |
No chance for rehabilitation |
| [03:24.530] |
'Cause look at the motherfuckin' years that I'm facin' |
| [03:27.200] |
I'ma end it like this 'cause you know what's up |
| [03:29.940] |
My life is fucked |
