Lyrics
One with a trigger, two with a bat
Three big brothers, four
Wanna squab' with me
So I guess a brother gotta throw
Tell 'em like this
Ya better get up out my camp dude
Before I have to pull my gat and get real rude
I don't figure that it's worth gettin' hurt
Just 'cause ya gal wanna give me that skirt
Bet it feels funny when ya doin' 69
Knowin' that ya sippin' on all my jimmy wine
And when ya get a kiss, do you feel bad
Knowin' that ya swallowed all the skeeter that I had
You wanna step to me
But I don't really think you should
I shoulda shot you up
Instead I told you something good
Tell me something good
Oh baby, baby, baby yeah
Tell me something good
Oh yeah, yeah
Tell me something good
Oh oh, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me something good
Oh baby, baby, baby yeah
Ayo what's up with that bulge in ya khakis
You wanna pack a gat
But you still ain't got the pull to come and jack me
You better bring a gang load of homies
When you think you wanna throw
'Cause by yourself you runnin' to the floor
I seen your kind before man
You nothin' with your hands
More than a punk but still less than a man
You talk a lot of nothin'
When ya chillin' with the ladies
Let me catch you by yourself
You're pushin' up some daisies
See crazy you wanna be
But punks with no heart they ain't hard
They just waitin' for Bun to pull they card
You better keep ya weak self locked in ya hood
'Cause without your boys
I'ma have to tell you something good
Tell me something good
Oh baby, baby, baby yeah
Tell me something good
Oh yeah, yeah
Tell me something good
Oh oh, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me something good
Oh baby, baby, baby yeah
Brothers nowadays got a habit
That they really need to stop
Gettin' all shot over a girl that I done popped
You need to check your girl
And what she did in the past
'Cause if you know like me
You would drop her real fast
But I don't trust a drugger
'Cause I'm scared of that disease
'Cause she's passin' out the skins like government cheese
But not me player 'cause Pimp C wanna live
Have you had yo' test, are you H.I. positive?
But instead of gettin' checked you wanna fight with me
You need to check your blood
And let somebody check your feet
But if you don't step I'ma drop on ya fast
And pump off bullets like government cash
I didn't do your girl but your sister was alright
Took her to my homeboy's caddy last night
She waxed my jimmy and then the little street tramp
Did me on a box of tens and a Pioneer amp
I hit if from the back and the girl just threw me
Told me pump it harder
And she scratched me on my booty
Now everybody in the world
Know that your sister is a nasty little girl
Tell me something good
Oh baby, baby, baby yeah
Tell me something good
Let's talk about these half and half punks
By day they sorry bastards
At night they talkin' 'bout poppin' trunks
But a .25 can't keep you alive
From a sawed off fool so I hope you survive
See bluffin' might save ya tail one day
But who's to say
They won't catch ya next week on the runway?
You might shoot a few shots in the wind
But the same time tomorrow
You'll be runnin' again
Now can you keep it up, every damn night?
You steady runnin' to the argument
But runnin' from the fight
What's the deal man?
Why don't you take your Raiders cap off?
'Cause one of these days
You gonna getcha head slapped off
You can't keep a crew
'Cause they gettin' sick of seein' you bail
Like a punk they hit the backstreet trail
And the women don't like you
'Cause ya act like them
And that's why your little jimmy never went fo' a swim
Ya talkin' 'bout slangin', makin' G's
But I saw a fiend chase ya from
BJ's up to Mickey D's
Now everyday punks get took
Either for they dough
They'll ride 'em for the powder that they cook
You bookin' from the scene
'Cause ya couldn't hold ya own
A 40 ounce bottle slams ya dead to your dome
Now you want revenge
So ya get your automatic
Find a group of hard-heads
And started kickin' static
Ya pulled ya little chrome but these fools got gats
Try to run and caught two buckshots in ya back
Now you nothin' but a memory that's gone in a slayin'
So when I tell you something good
Punk I don't be playin'
