Sometimes I feel I got to (get away)
For these streets like a fein for crack

Before you get clapped put the tougnes to two loose have everybody on the corner goin (ooh ooh)
Holdin they mouth shock as f*ck I just had to air that boy out (get away)
And now theres blood on my tims snitches callin 1 800 crime stoppers

And I'm out of here ain't no telling when I be back

'Cause I'm not playin I'm bangin hammers on niggas
Put hands on that niggas life (ooh ooh)
Just beat the shit out you I brawl like animal
Your whole team scrambling ( thats right) ( get away)
When we come through pushing new trucks
Bitches be pushing and shoving to look at us
