And y'all gon' see
That the hottest nigga out there, was, is, and will be me

I can go away for a minute, do some other shit, but bounce right back
And when it's on
I'm comin strapped, with some shit that'll spit from dusk 'til dawn
And when you gone
Ain't no comin back in the morn!
You think that shit was a dream, nigga? You gone!
That's for real
Creep niggas like a seal
Totin steel
Stick a nigga make him squeal
"Oh, my God!"
Those can't be the last words of ya man! Damn, ya man was so hard!

And every fuckin time I hit you it's goin straight to the top of the charts!

I'm a thoroughbred, my blood is strong
And I scratch 'til you done
Cross the line

Yo, what the f*ck
Is you cats doin runnin around like this, like you won't get stuck?!
Yo, that's my word
I stay givin it to niggas, and I stay not really being heard
But, y'all gon' see
That the same things thou did to them, will be done to thee
And then you'll know
That sometimes though you come through the front, you leavin out the backdoor!
Come on!

Uh, uh, uh

Bring the noise
And you better come with niggas you don't give a f*ck about, cause you gon' lose your boys
Cause we don't play
And the silencer will silence any cocksucker with somethin to say
Dog for life
Whether I'm on or off the leash I bite, streets are my life
Click click boom!
Another life taken too soon, another mother had a funeral
Still waters run deep
And the pain is forever alive inside, makes it hard to sleep
But I keep goin, goin
Shit I'm always careful when I walk, I'm always seein, knowin
The dog gone live
Stay walkin the wire, over the fire, when I can I give
The dog is good
And how it's stayin dog gon' f*ck with the hood
The dog f*ck with the wood

Bring it! What?
We right here
We're not goin anywhere
We right here
This is ours and we don't share
We right here
Bring your crew cuz we don't care
We right here
Uh, uh, uh

Bring it! What?
We right here
We're not goin anywhere
We right here
This is ours and we don't share
We right here
Bring your crew cuz we don't care
We right here
Uh, uh, uh

We right here, uh, uh, uh
