Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I started small time, dope game, pushing on the corner
Twenty cent cook up, fifty flippers if you want 'em
Full of formaldehyde, my clothes reeking marijuana
Cops rolling up on us, my neighborhood's like a sauna
Pistol gripping, ensuring won't nobody run up on us
But if they do, fuck 'em, we murderers, ****, dome 'em
I ain't playing no games, I'm on a mission for the change
Motherfuck being a lame, I'm ten toes in the game
Deep, I can't slip this whole world want me to sleep
See, I hustle like a predator and prey on the weak
And play it for keeps, 'cause see, it's a thin red line
Between a **** getting his and me getting mine
And plus I'm a **** with that feeling like it's my time
And anybody standing in the way of that is dying
I bust nine, how many times I gotta warn you?
I ain't the one, you pushing buttons in the sight of my gun
[Verse 2]
I'm the real live version of the Corleone family
So I'll spit this clearly so you hoes'll understand me
[Verse 3]
One wrong move, and I'ma have to leave you for the goons
Catch you slipping asleep in your bedroom, and then
Get you outie, now what the fuck was this dude thinking?
You can cheat the rules of the streets and not leave stinking?
[Verse 4]
I can squeeze without thinking, I'm a cold blooded ****
Bank robber, I'm a natural born killer
Drug dealer, anything it took to survive
Even if it took a **** to die, I'm a gangsta, right
[Verse 5]
I got a brick from a sucker that he wanted to move
But the whole while I'm cooking I'm like, fuck this dude
It's on, thirty-six zones of my own
Keep the money for myself and take the work back home
Call the **** on the phone, I just got knocked
And the cops is asking 'bout you, come get me hot
Never showed, so fuck him and the money that I owed
I got a get rich quick scheme, stepping on the dome
It's cold, but that's it, I'm on it like I want it
At twenty-eight cash and change, the whole game on it
That means I'm on my feet and I can front the homies D
Break 'em off a couple of feet and double up the key
Taking over, shoot up they spot, make it hot
And when the cops dry it out, put my work on the block
[Verse 6]
And if they wanna ride for they corners, we ride right with 'em
Dummy move, whole thing, the goon squad get 'em
[Verse 7]
I can squeeze without thinking, I'm a cold blooded ****
Bank robber, I'm a natural born killer
Drug dealer, anything it took to survive
Even if it took a **** to die, I'm a gangsta, right
[Verse 8]
No more petty rock hustling, I'm in for the run
And I'm for sure I'm gon' be murdered for the shit that I done
But I'ma die standing up 'cause I'm a stand up ****
Fuck dying like a bitch on my knees, I'm a killer
So don't nobody cry 'cause I was destined to get it
Just remember, I'm the one who took the dope game and flipped it
And pimped it, and destroyed everything in the way
Or me seeing first motherfucking light of the day
A trigger man, deadly as fuck with a loaded AK
Spied my enemy and killed him the American way
I turned a dream into reality with a fuck you mentality
Silencing all these **** in the neighborhood who challenged me
Family grieving from they loved one's fatality
He ain't got a reason to die to kill him, tragedy
[Verse 9]
I can squeeze without thinking, I'm a cold blooded ****
Bank robber, I'm a natural born killer
Drug dealer, anything it took to survive
Even if it took a **** to die, I'm a gangsta, right
