[Verse 8]
From the street to the city to the ghetto
Shout it from the roof when they hear the instrumental
(We hot)
We hot, we hot, you not
Don't smile now, don't you act like I forgot
You was talking real loud
You was talking real loud
I could hear it from the park 'king lot
Thought that I forgot
Not my clique, we 6 feet sharp
[Verse 9]
I don't take no threats
I don't take no threats
Don't you think that I forget
[Verse 10]
I don't take no threats
I don't take no threats
Don't you think that I forget
[Verse 11]
They made Sam
They made Sam
Make another one gents
I don't take no threats
