Lyrics
[Chorus]
Oh, don't even look at me wrong when I come through the hood
Ain't nothing changed, still holla at my homies
Oh, and when I hit the block, I still will kill
And I don't want to, ****, but I will if I got to
Kill, if **** get to fucking around
If **** get to fucking around
[Verse 1]
Yeah, respect come from admiration and fear
You can admire me or you could catch one in your wig
You see the Testarossa, the toaster's right on my lap
So if a **** get out of line, then **** get clapped
I got an arsenal, an infantry, I'm built for this mentally
That's why I'm the general, I do what they pretend to do
Front on me now, ****, I'll be the end of you
Forget your enemies and think of what your friends'll do
I drop a bag off, then let a mag off
The Heckler and Koch'll tear half of your ass off
I'm not for the games, I'm not for all the playing
The hollow tips rain when I unleash the pain
Get the message from the lines or get the message from the nine
Paint a picture with words, you can see when I shine
Put my back on the wall, ****, watch me go for mine
I let twenty-one shots off at the same time, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, don't even look at me wrong when I come through the hood
Ain't nothing changed, still holla at my homies
Oh, and when I hit the block, I still will kill
And I don't want to, ****, but I will if I got to
Kill, if **** get to fucking around
If **** get to fucking around
[Verse 2]
Yeah, where I'm from, death is always in the air, homie
Nana love me so you know she say my prayers for me
I come creeping through the hood wearing Teflon
Hit the corners, motherfuckers get left on
**** know, if not, they better check my background
Try and stick me, I'll fill your back with MAC rounds
Ask Preme, ****, 50 don't back down
I kick it funky like fiends in the crack house
Cross the line, boy, I'ma air ya ass out
Screw your face at me I wanna know what that's 'bout
****, I know you ain't mad, I done came up
And if you are, fuck you 'cause I ain't change up
The O.G.'s wanna talk, but I don't know these ****
And I ain't did no business with 'em, I don't owe these ****
A minute of my time, I get it 'cause I grind
All across the globe like the world's mine, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, don't even look at me wrong when I come through the hood
Ain't nothing changed, still holla at my homies
Oh, and when I hit the block, I still will kill
And I don't want to, ****, but I will if I got to
Kill, if **** get to fucking around
If **** get to fucking around
[Verse 3]
Konvict, now, tell me have you ever looked off in the distance
And seen a MAC aiming at your head, man?
Before you know it, life is flashing, reminiscing
And your body is dripping and full of lead, mane
I done been there, I done copped that
It ain't never been a question, I'm 'bout that
Don't go there, you get clapped at
And if you plan to fuck around and re-route that
You'll never catch me riding around on these streets
Without a couple metal pieces under my feet
Fully automatic weapons unloaded will unleash
Stash up under the carpet like a can of sea breeze
50, don't make me ride on these ****
'Cause I will kill, dip and hide on these ****
50, don't make me ride on these ****
'Cause I be long gone like The Ripper, so
[Chorus]
Don't even look at me wrong when I come through the hood
Ain't nothing changed, still holla at my homies
Oh, and when I hit the block, I still will kill
And I don't want to, ****, but I will if I got to
Kill, if **** get to fucking around
If **** get to fucking around
