Singer: dave east

ayy

cuz

nixon disrespect will not be tolerated in the dirt

nigga

that's how you end up on a shirt

cuz

that's on 39th street

nigga

stay away from rats

fuck a nigga mean

cuz? dirt gang

before you shoot him

look him in his eyes

introduce him to god

they ain't got shit to do with mines

shit get real nasty

gotta move your mom

it was either become a body or go and do some time

i knew a couple niggas

all they knew was crime

tryna disrespect the set is where we drew the line

get killed

askin' what time it was when you knew the time

if check found a gun in the crib

he already knew it's mine

the president don't give a fuck about the country

them child support payments been fuckin' up your monthly

it was hard to think in class knowin' you was hungry

them bitches said that you was trash just 'cause you was bummy

chip on my shoulder

i felt a way about it

opps caught me dolo

thought they had me

found my way up out it

you in the field

gotta walk through the streets

ain't no way around it

his mama lost her mind

she couldn't believe the way they found him

all through the ghetto we would terrorize

his closest nigga died

he ain't lettin' it slide

he pray to god but he been lookin' through the devil eyes

he got his mask on so nobody could recognize

i could paint a picture like i'm basquiat

every other day

another body drop

ain't nowhere to run if they surround the block

we up with the sun

trap around the clock

how to get out

all the niggas that got on before him taught him how to get out

specialize in scoring

crack your crin-own

ridin' around in them foreigns

have they l out

gotta make sure that you covered up like a blanket or you gonna get covered up with a blanket

don't be no fruitcake

you can't be no edible arrangement

comin' up out of the region where we at

gotta be a lion

not a cat

they don't wanna listen

don't wanna learn

their parents on yola

they not concerned

the cha-cha

the cola

money i earned

the bakin'

the soda

i flipped and turned

they might not thought i paid attention

but i was listenin'

my master bedroom bigger than the house i grew up in

me

my bloods

my cousins

and my siblings

i don't trust nobody

i ain't got no friends

all through the ghetto we would terrorize

his closest nigga died

he ain't lettin' it slide

he pray to god but he been lookin' through the devil eyes

he got his mask on so nobody could recognize

i could paint a picture like i'm basquiat

every other day

another body drop

ain't nowhere to run if they surround the block

we up with the sun

trap around the clock

facetimed a snakey just to show the drakey

you ever stripped a nigga naked off of naked lady?

several cases on the gravel where they tackled dude

eukanuba for the shooters

that's a bag of food

ask his mama why he left

them niggas had to move

we hoppin' out

half of moons on a half a broom

passes ain't permitted

ain't no passin' through

unless you niggas tryna cop a pacquiao or two

ooh

run a demonstration for initiation

tuck a quarter for the litigated situation

niggas show up at your mama's

know no limitation

when we was into stealin' foreigns

you was stealin' bases

you niggas was ditchin' class

we was ditchin' agents

big bro 'posed to be proud his little nigga made it

it's written on they faces

i could feel the hatred

fuck the money

it get gully

nigga still a gangster

all through the ghetto we would terrorize

his closest nigga died

he ain't lettin' it slide

he pray to god but he been lookin' through the devil eyes

he got his mask on so nobody could recognize

i could paint a picture like i'm basquiat

every other day

another body drop

ain't nowhere to run if they surround the block

we up with the sun

trap around the clock

all through the ghetto we would terrorize

his closest nigga died

he ain't lettin' it slide

he pray to god but he been lookin' through the devil eyes

he got his mask on so nobody could recognize

i could paint a picture like i'm basquiat

every other day

another body drop

ain't nowhere to run if they surround the block

we up with the sun

trap around the clock
