| Stick up kids is out to tax | |
| Stick up kids is out to tax | |
| Stick up kids is out to tax | |
| And this is how the story goes | |
| Brothers are amused by others brother's reps | |
| But the thing they know best is where the gun is kept | |
| 'Cause in the night, you'll feel fright | |
| And at the sight of a 4-5th, I guess you just might | |
| Wanna do a dance or two | |
| 'Cause they could maybe bust you for self or wit a crew | |
| No matter is you or your brother's a star | |
| He could pop you in check without a get away car | |
| And some might say that he's a dummy | |
| But sticking you and taking all of your money | |
| It's a daily operation | |
| He might be loose in the park or lurking at the train station | |
| Mad brothers know his name | |
| So he thinks he got a little fame | |
| From the stick-up game | |
| And while we're blaming society | |
| He's at a party with his man | |
| They got their eye on the gold chain | |
| That the next man's wearing | |
| It looks big but they ain't staring | |
| Just thinking of a way and when to get the brother | |
| They'll be long gone before the kid recovers | |
| And back around the way, he'll have the chain on his neck | |
| Claiming respect, just to get a rep | |
| Stick up kids is out to tax | |
| Stick up kids is out to tax | |
| Stick up kids is out to tax | |
| And this is how the story goes | |
| Ten brothers in a circle | |
| Had the kid trapped, the one wit the hood | |
| He said, ‽We'll hurt you†| |
| If you don't run out your dues and pay | |
| Give up the Rolex watch or you won't see another day | |
| See, they were on the attack | |
| And one said, ‽Yo, you wanna make this to a homicide rap?†| |
| Make it fast so we can be on our way | |
| Kick in the rings and everything, okay? | |
| The kid was nervous and flinching | |
| And little shorty with the 3-8, yo, he was inchin' | |
| Closer and closer, put the gun to his head | |
| Shorty was down to catch a body instead | |
| Money was scared so he panicked | |
| Took off his link and his rings and ran frantic | |
| But shorty said, ‽Now†pulled the trigger and stepped | |
| It was nothing, he did it just to get a rep | |
| Stick up kids is out to tax | |
| Stick up kids is out to tax | |
| Stick up kids is out to tax | |
| Stick up kids is out to tax |
| Stick up kids is out to tax | |
| Stick up kids is out to tax | |
| Stick up kids is out to tax | |
| And this is how the story goes | |
| Brothers are amused by others brother' s reps | |
| But the thing they know best is where the gun is kept | |
| ' Cause in the night, you' ll feel fright | |
| And at the sight of a 45th, I guess you just might | |
| Wanna do a dance or two | |
| ' Cause they could maybe bust you for self or wit a crew | |
