| [00:20.70] | Look if I shoot you I'm brainless |
| [00:23.10] | But if you shoot me then you're famous |
| [00:24.82] | What's a nigga to do |
| [00:25.89] | When the streets is watching blocks keep clocking |
| [00:28.54] | Waiting for you to break make your first mistake |
| [00:30.93] | Can't ignore it that's the fastest way to get extorted |
| [00:33.74] | But my time is money and twenty five I can't afford it |
| [00:36.60] | Beef assorted like Godiva chocolates |
| [00:39.06] | Niggas you bought it I pull the slide back and cock it |
| [00:41.45] | Plan aborted you and your mans get a pass |
| [00:44.03] | This rhyme you're operating on bitch time |
| [00:46.49] | Y'all niggas ain't worth my shells all y'all niggas |
| [00:49.06] | Trying to do is hurt my sales and stop trips to John Meneilly |
| [00:52.00] | The type to start a beef then run to the cops |
| [00:54.37] | When I see you in the street got one in the drop |
| [00:56.96] | When I'd rather be on tour getting a hundred a pop |
| [00:59.63] | Taking pictures with some bitches in front of the drop |
| [01:01.69] | The streets is watching |
| [01:02.40] | When the streets is watching |
| [01:03.40] | |
| [01:04.00] | Blocks keep clocking |
| [01:04.87] | Waiting for you to break make your first mistake |
| [01:06.60] | |
| [01:07.46] | Can't ignore it |
| [01:08.04] | |
| [01:12.72] | Now it's hard not to kill niggas |
| [01:14.03] | |
| [01:14.56] | It's like a full time job not to kill niggas can't chill |
| [01:17.20] | The streets is watching |
| [01:18.40] | |
| [01:19.14] | When you froze your arms |
| [01:20.43] | Niggas want to test you when your gun goes warm |
| [01:22.83] | Can't get caught with your feet up got to keep your heat up |
| [01:25.92] | Sweet niggas running 'round swearing shit is sweeter |
| [01:28.27] | Once you're tagged lame the game is follow the leader |
| [01:30.87] | Everybody want a piece of your scrilla so you gotta keep it realer |
| [01:34.41] | Kidnap niggas want to steal you |
| [01:36.05] | Broke niggas don't want no cash they just want to kill ya |
| [01:39.11] | For the name niggas don't know the rules |
| [01:41.02] | Disrespecting the game want you to blow your cool |
| [01:43.40] | |
| [01:44.13] | Force your hand of course that man's plotting |
| [01:46.10] | |
| [01:46.80] | Smarten up the streets is watching it's on |
| [01:48.89] | |
| [01:54.14] | When the streets is watching |
| [01:55.19] | |
| [01:55.77] | Blocks keep clocking |
| [01:56.32] | |
| [01:56.83] | Waiting for you to break make your first mistake |
| [01:59.05] | Can't ignore it |
| [01:59.75] | |
| [02:03.65] | My street mentality flip bricks forever |
| [02:05.09] | |
| [02:06.11] | Know me and money we like armed co defendants |
| [02:08.00] | |
| [02:08.50] | Nigga we stick together |
| [02:09.27] | Shit whatever for this cheddar ran my game into the ground |
| [02:12.37] | Hustle harder until secret indictment time came around |
| [02:14.36] | And you can look up and down the streets and I can't be found |
| [02:17.43] | Put in twenty four hour shifts but that ain't me now |
| [02:19.90] | Got a face too easy to trace niggas mouths got slow leaks |
| [02:22.52] | Had to hire a team of workers couldn't play those streets |
| [02:24.99] | See out of space like Mercury you jerkin me Hectic |
| [02:27.31] | Had to call upon my wolves to send niggas the message |
| [02:30.13] | I said this Let's play fair and we can stay here |
| [02:32.78] | I'm trying to transform you boys to men like daycare' |
| [02:35.37] | Ay there's money to be made and niggas got the picture |
| [02:38.27] | Stopped playing with my paper and we got richer |
| [02:40.56] | Then hard times fell upon us |
| [02:42.24] | Half of my staff had warrants |
| [02:43.67] | The other half in the casket lay dormant |
| [02:45.46] | I felt like life was cheating me |
| [02:47.35] | For the first time in my life I was getting money |
| [02:49.19] | But it was like my conscience was eating me |
| [02:51.19] | Was this a lesson God teaching me |
| [02:52.77] | Was he saying that |
| [02:53.50] | I was playing the game straight from Hell from which few came back |
| [02:55.93] | Like bad coke pimp or die was my mind frame bad |
| [02:58.74] | Was niggas thinking simplify was turning cocaine crack |
| [03:01.00] | Ain't a whole lot of brain to that |
| [03:02.43] | Just trying to maintain a stack |
| [03:03.69] | And not collide like two trains that's on the same track |
| [03:06.45] | But get my life together like the oils I bring back |
| [03:09.03] | In the bottom of the pot where the water gets hot |
| [03:11.68] | Got my transporter take it across the border then stop |
| [03:14.38] | To set up shop with a quarter of rock |
| [03:16.26] | Here's the plan |
| [03:17.13] | For three straight weeks niggas slaughtered the block |
| [03:19.40] | But you know the game is food it f**ked up me and my dudes |
| [03:22.30] | One drought can wipe a nigga out faster than the cops |
| [03:24.78] | And this unstable way of living just had to stop |
| [03:27.31] | Half of my niggas got time we done real things |
| [03:29.79] | By '94 became the subject of half of y'all niggas rhymes |
| [03:32.33] | Public apologies to the families of those caught up in my shit |
| [03:35.00] | But that's the life for us lost souls brought up in this shit |
| [03:37.60] | The life and times of a nigga mind excited with crime |
| [03:40.02] | And the lavish luxuries that just excited my mind |
| [03:42.11] | |
| [03:42.64] | I figured shit why risk myself I just write it in rhymes |
| [03:45.38] | And let you feel me and if you don't like it then fine |
| [03:48.13] | The mind state of a nigga who boosted the crime rate |
| [03:50.79] | So high in one city they send National Guards to get me |
