Y'all gon' make me lose my mind 
Up in here, up in here 
Y'all gon' make me go all out 
Up in here, up in here 
Y'all gon' make me act a fool 
Up in here, up in here 
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool 
Up in here, up in here 

If I gotsta bring it to you cowards, then it's gonna be quick, aight 
All your mens up in the jail before suck my dick 
And all them other cats you run with, get done with, done quick 
How the f*ck you gonna cross the dog with some bum shit? Aight 
There go the gun click, nine-one-one shit 
All over some dumb shit, ain't that some shit?
Y'all niggas remind me of a strip club 'cause every time 
You come around, it's like (what) I just gotta get my dick sucked 
And I don't know who the f*ck you think you talkin' to 
But I'm not him, a'ight, slim? So watch what you do 
Or you gon' find yourself buried next to someone else 
And we all thought you loved yourself 
But that couldn't have been the issue, or maybe 
They just sayin' that now 'cause they miss you 
Shit, a nigga tried to diss you 
That's why you layin' on your back, lookin' at the roof of the church 
Preacher tellin' the truth and it hurts 

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind 
Up in here, up in here 
Y'all gon' make me go all out 
Up in here, up in here 
Y'all gon' make me act a fool 
Up in here, up in here 
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool 
Up in here, up in here 

Off the chain, I leave niggas soft in the brain 
'Cause niggas still want the fame off the name 
First of all, you ain't rapped long enough 
To be fuckin' with me, and you, you ain't strong enough 
So whatever it is you puffin' on that got you think that you Superman 
I got the Kryptonite should I smack him with my dick and the mic? 
Y'all niggas is characters, not even good actors 
What's gon' be the outcome? Hmm, let's add up all the factors 
You whack, you're twisted, your girl's a ho
You're broke, the kid ain't yours, and everybody know 
Your old man say you stupid, you be like, "So? 
I love my baby mother, I never let her go." 
I'm tired of weak-ass niggas whinin' over puss
That don't belong to them; f*ck is wrong with them? 
They f*ck it up for real niggas like my mans and them 
Who get it on on the strength of the hands with them, man

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind 
Up in here, up in here 
Y'all gon' make me go all out 
Up in here, up in here 
Y'all gon' make me act a fool 
Up in here, up in here 
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool 
Up in here, up in here 

I bring down rain so heavy it curse the head 
No more talkin', put him in the dirt instead 
You keep walin', lest you tryin' to end up red 
'Cause if I end up fed, y'all end up dead 
'Cause you's a soft-type nigga 
Fake up-North-type nigga 
Push like a soft white nigga 
Dog is a dog, blood's thicker than water 
We done been through the mud, and we quick to the slaughter 
The bigger the order, the more guns we brought out 
We run up in there, everybody come out, don't nobody run out 
Sun in to sun out, I'm a keep the gun out 
Nigga runnin' his mouth, I'm a blow his lung out 
Listen, yo' ass is about to be missin'
You know who gon' find you? (Who?) Some old man fishin'
Grandma wishin' your soul's at rest
But it's hard to digest with the size of the hole in your chest

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind 
Up in here, up in here 
Y'all gon' make me go all out 
Up in here, up in here 
Y'all gon' make me act a fool 
Up in here, up in here 
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool 
Up in here, up in here 

Hold up!
One, two, meet me outside 
Meet me outside, meet me outside 
All my Ruff Ryders gon' meet me outside 
Meet me outside, meet me outside 
All my big ballers gon' meet me outside 
Meet me outside, meet me outside 
All my fly ladies gon' meet me outside 
Meet me outside, meet me outside 
All my street, street peoples meet me outside 
Meet me outside, outside, motherfucker
