refugee camp

yo

you see them refugees right there

they goin in the car

woowoowoowoowoo

keys they goin in the trunk

woowoowoowoowoo

fiends they don't give a uh

and flex couldn't save you even if he dropped a bomb in this

you still gon be found in a ditch

my name should be robin banks the way i be robbin banks

i'm a fiend for the s-500 i want it

used to stay high and blunted

but all that had to stop

chick like me be chasin after cops

and they don't stop at my block after the diallo shootin

soldiers in waitin

marksmen recruitin

salutin

thug confederates

rhyme and reason

time and treatin

air force one we leavin

panama red

holdin 52 hands for ransom

my man johnny handsome

itchin to cancel 'em

i'm like hold up

wait a minute

let's get down to buisness

we could shoot up everything soon as the deal is finished

blah

blah

i got two hours to kill

we want like 5 mil in a private jet so peel

supreme c been after mean figures

ask my lil nigga

since back in the days

before he was raised

aint nobody puttin fear in my heart

who need a jumpstart

my art sharp

shoot your posse apart

nigga take you on one by one

gun by gun

son by son

done by done

whoever come murder fest

one of the best

i'm gettin assets

collect ass bets

squat by your address

i come to kick it wit you

walk beans stickin wit you

why try to hide from accomplice vibe

yo we break bread

break heads

my people shake feds

gamble and scramble

f what your man do

it's all about this husltin game

muscle and fame

tussels in rain

take aim

blush you with game

my language is unexplainable

switch

changeable

and i stay remaindable

with bigger guns aimed at you

i run up in da cypha heavily armed with endless bars of metaphoric harm

a python with poisonous charm

extending my arm

pushing figures way to the back

out of your reach

excessive like fatal attract

freeze

a renegade bar stroke

an ace of spades

i'll kiss you wit a blade when i think i'm gettin played

made woman

you never in bed with the same woman

you say you want it

you don't wanna see the omen

when my sixth sense start flowin i bless like holy water

i don't wanna die cuz i'm my daddy's only daughter

but yo

sometimes i see the writin on the wall

you know the ghetto testaments

the shootouts

the brawls

close frames in the hall

will you stand or will you fall

your whole click is on the run now would you tell it all

about the night shifters

me

i'ma cypher drifter

my sixteen bars is up so peace to the mixes

october 31st i was standing by the sour

these thugs don't wanna talk they want these pumas i just bought

fresh outta school

picked on cuz i'm bilingual

i barely spoke english but the gun language was universal

ran in the grocery store

spoke to gabriel

he said

you have problems

here's a feezy from israel

ran back outside

just before i could say. another homicide

threw the biscuit in the bushes runnin like jesse owens

police showed up

but i was nowhere in existence

back in the crib thinkin bout what i just did

i'ma police of defense but i'm bound to catch this bid

my hypothesis was right

they knocked the door

homie

like a super in the projects wantin rent money

just when i thought i get my life straight in the states

is when i found myself climbin down the fire escape

bodies found in virginia under the dumpsters

no

18 shell cases in front of the grocery sto'

flee the scene of the crime before y'all kick the door

no your honor that must be some old rhyme that i wrote

and lyrics sometime man they misinterpretate it

for example when i say gun i mean my pen and paper

and everytime i wave and spit the crowd jump

cuz i'm still digital underground like humpty hump"
