Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fucking lil' homies
Everybody ducking
My fucking lil' homies
Lil' homies
Everybody ducking
[Verse 2]
Just pay attention
Here's a story about my lil' homies straight thugging
Lil' bad young motherfuckers, gotta love 'em
You could catch him in his G ride, clutching his Glock
Screaming, outlaw busting on my enemy's block
[Verse 3]
Educated on these cold streets
Gettin money making dummies out the police
Ain't no peace for an adolescent **** to rap to be a thinker
Bud smoking 24/7, every day drinker
[Verse 4]
Got my diploma but I never learned shit in school
Mo money, mo bitches, mo murder, fool
Always the young **** getting in shit
She wouldn't stop to conversate so you called her a bitch
[Verse 5]
Busting on paper thin motherfuckers
Drinking gin 'fore you get to sinning on them busters
Emptied his clip, passed by like he didn't know me
Everybody's ducking, my fucking lil' homies
[Verse 6]
Lil' homies on the ride
**** gonna die tonight
Let's get high tonight
My lil' homies
Lil' homies on the mash
Running from these punk police
'Cause lil' **** run the streets
[Verse 7]
Lil' homies on the ride
**** gonna die tonight
Let's get high tonight
My lil' homies
Lil' homies on the mash
Running from these punk police
'Cause lil' **** run the streets
[Verse 8]
I remember when you was just a lil' G
Flirting with death playing Russian Roulette, screaming, kill me
Hey there, young ****, what you smoking on?
Mad at the world 'cause you came from a broken home
[Verse 9]
Love to squad plus your mob is sick
A bunch of adolescent **** spitting major shit
Tell me, young ****, if you die, let me know
Would your heart feel pain watching as your mother cries?
[Verse 10]
Will all your homies ride?
Or will they all get high
And talk about how you died?
You **** on a mission to compete
Getting G's packing heat
Bringing havoc to the fuckin streets
[Verse 11]
Nobody knows why he took a .44
And unloaded up on the whole front row
Try to tell him but he act like he don't know
Pulled out his pistol and show me
My lil' homies
[Verse 12]
Lil homies on the ride
**** gonna die tonight
Let's get high tonight
Lil' homies on the mash
Running from these punk police
'Cause lil' **** run the streets
[Verse 13]
Lil' homies on the ride
**** gonna die tonight
Let's get high tonight
Lil' homies on the mash
Running from these punk police
'Cause lil' **** run the streets
[Verse 14]
First to bomb, 16 on death row
Busting on them phony motherfuckers 'cause the big homie said so
**** knew I was a nut case, quick to blast
Living underage but he'll blaze on your bitch ass
[Verse 15]
Is there Heaven for a G?
And if it is, will I finally get to be at peace?
On these streets ain't no peace
Shell shocked souls making money off of crack sales
Young black males
[Verse 16]
Unable to change 'cause it's a cycle
Plus nobody knows the evil that they might do
Lil Moo, Big Yak, K Kastro
Big mouth Hussein, call them Outlawz
[Verse 17]
Telling the world to be equipped
When these young motherfuckers rip shit, they don't quit
Drew down on me, pull a pound on me
Bust like he didn't know me
My fucking lil' homies
[Verse 18]
Lil' homies on the ride
**** gonna die tonight
Let's get high tonight
Lil' homies on the mash
Running from these punk police
'Cause lil' **** run the streets
[Verse 19]
Lil' homies on the ride
**** gonna die tonight
Let's get high tonight
Lil' homies on the mash
Running from these punk police
'Cause lil' **** run the streets
[Verse 20]
Lil' homies on the ride
**** gonna die tonight
Let's get high tonight
Lil' homies on the mash
Running from these punk police
'Cause lil' **** run the streets
[Verse 21]
Lil' homies on the ride
**** gonna die tonight
Lil' homies on the mash
Running from these punk police
'Cause lil' **** run the streets
[Verse 22]
Lil' homies on the ride
**** gonna die tonight
Let's get high tonight
Lil' homies on the mash
