die by the gun

Singer:bugzy malone

if you live by the gun

die by the gun

if you live by the gun

die by the gun

if you live by the gun

die by the gun

if you live by the gun

die by the gun

it's a shame that the hood's an addiction

them man fell from the heavens but nobody missed him

all that knowledge and wisdom

but he didn't share it so there's no one to protect him

yeah there's power in numbers

but don't underestimate age out here

there's too much power in youngers

and them man forgot there was hundreds

anybody can be gangster

you've seen city of god

there's no age restriction

being nice never made man money

you pay to go to the church there's no paid religion

i'm not being funny

if you was raised in a broken home

with poverty constantly hanging over your head

would you not fight the affliction?

the hood's an addiction

he went from no one to having a big reputation

violated by his own family

he's got no problem with violation

using a weapon brings fear

and fear just means you don't need explanation

all he needs is a bad boy driver

to help him escape from the destination

if you live by the gun

die by the gun

if you live by the gun

die by the gun

if you live by the gun

die by the gun

if you live by the gun

die by the gun

man's living like a wild animal

when he get's hungry then it's robbery season

beaten up as a child

so he likes to hurt people he don't need a reason

he thought them man were gods

but he watched them man turn mortal and weakened

the hood's an addiction

but most things in the hood these days are deceiving

no snapchats or tweeting

he's living under the radar

and that means he's avoiding policemen

he got left with a scar and that's a reminder of when he got beaten

but it's not an l when it comes from an older

them man are gods no longer and they're human and humans stop breathing

flip the mattress

pull the adidas shoe box out it's that time

he don't play games anymore

but it's looking like mortal kombat time

he had scarface playing on dvd in the background

so when he left his room he heard al pacino say: you better say good night to the bad guy."
