Lyrics
[Verse 1]
****, bitches
Gather round, got a story to tell
Here it is, here it is
[Verse 2]
It's widespread, thoroughbred
Shockingly took two to the head
Knowledge me, God, the shit I'm 'bout to holler is hard
From start, this lil' **** had a hell of a heart
His pops, bangin' that shit in his arms, broken
A young mind distortedly moulded, is there an upside?
His brother got murdered up north by Nietas
My ma battlin' cancer of the colon
At the tender age of thirteen, watchin' his world close in
Blood damn near frozen from a heart so cold
It ain't pumpin' out the love no more, and I feel that
'Cause God, when you really need it, where the love at?
That's why a lot of **** got more faith in their gat
[Verse 3]
Freeze that like a photo, take it with you and know
This lil' **** 'bout to kill all comers for cash flow
His role model, the heat, 'cause it runs streets
His motto, nobody eats but me
Finally, this young thug turned pro
Used to show love, now he got nothing but hatred and foes
Five-double-ohs, oh, so deep
He the type of **** that got it and break down a key
Remember me? J to the A, R-U-L-E, baby
Smell the beef and continue to, uh, give 'em hell
Fill they bodies with shells and leave **** with a story to tell, huh
[Verse 4]
Listen up, I got a story to tell
On the streets we got guns and drugs for sale
'Cause you hoes know the game that we play is real
Keep your mind on the money and your weapons concealed
Listen up, I got a story to tell
I'm prayin' to God knowin' I'm goin' to Hell
If it's out of my hands, I'll let time prevail
Listen up, I got a story to tell
Listen up, I got a story to tell
[Verse 5]
**** motherfucking die for the shit we do
Hustle hard, city to city, state to state
All my ****, let me holler at y'all
[Verse 6]
Son of B-more, we scored more than ever before
Copped the two-door, six-double-oh, the raw
Show no love for loss since that big eight be that lucky number
We slammed eight of those in Kentucky
Kept the currency comin', more diamonds
New clothes, LA hoes that'll ride us frontin'
Once you lived in luxury, you can't leave it
Find yourself turnin' broke bitches into divas
Can you believe this?
In Cleveland, we cuttin' these **** breathing
Time on every block till we shut down shop
So keep your Glock cocked, one in the head
Push the five series drop just in case we gotta spit and spread
The alibi be simply we was in the Caribbean
With two of our women friends, sippin' Remi and Henny
From there we'll flow to the Florida Keys and blow trees
Fuck a couple of hoes and spend some cheese
That's how a boy's life is supposed to be
[Verse 7]
Make our way to NO 'cause we 'bout it, 'bout it
Then down to DC where they cock it, pop it
Listen up, life is nothing but the hot shit from here to Wisconsin
Y'all **** can get it constant
It ain't hard, that's like pushing dope in the 5th Ward
And just to get to God, I'll go through Hell
Leave the world a story to tell, huh
[Verse 8]
Listen up, I got a story to tell
On the streets we got guns and drugs for sale
And you hoes know the game that we play is real
Keep your mind on the money and your weapons concealed
Listen up, I got a story to tell
I'm prayin' to God knowin' I'm goin' to Hell
If it's out of my hands, I'll let time prevail
Listen up, I got a story to tell
Listen up, I got a story to tell
