I got shit that'll disable a man with the wave of the hand The days are longer and seems like I'm wastin' time I've got a lot of dreams, but I'm not really chasin' mine I soak it all up like you set the fire Nowadays gettin' by, is nothing more than the occasional meal and gettin' high I live to die, that's where I'm headed Let your man hold somthin', now it's all about you can get it Y'all niggas wanna be killers? (Get at me, dog) Y'all niggas wanna feel us? (Get at me, dog) Y'all niggas want the real?

Talkin' that shit that you be talkin' And I bet you wish you never got hit 'cause you'd be walkin' But shit happens, and f*ck it, you done did your dirt Niggas is wonderin' how the f*ck you hid your skirt Right under they eyes, now it's surprise to the guys And one of their mans was a bitch in disguise Fuckin' with cats and order more hits and slaughter more kids Let me holler at you on Baltimore shit Know what I mean? I'm just robbin' to eat And there's at least a thousand of us like me mobbin' the street When we starve, then we eat whatever's there Come on, you know the code in the street, whatever's fair Blood stains and chalk, means your man couldn't walk After the talk about him not being on the 11:33 to New York Transformin' ass niggas will get it quick And yo for real that nigga K can suck my dick And it's gon' take all these niggas in the rap game To barely move me 'cause when I blow shit up I'll have niggas fallin' like white bitches in a scary movie Ah, you know I don't know how to act Get too close to niggas, it's like "Protected by viper, stand back." What's that? I thought you niggas was killas, demented F*ck you want me with this coward? Finish him, it's ended
