Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Excuse me if I seem obscene to you
I'm bein' real and that's the thing to do
I'm just livin' and lovin'
Smokin' and fuckin' (Yeah uh)
Out here on the grind, yeah
If I can't get no love then I can touch you
[Verse 2]
I'd rather touch you, yeah
Said I'd rather bust at you (Yeah, Terror Squad)
I'd rather touch you, yeah
Said I'd rather bust at you
[Verse 3]
You motherfuckers must be crazy
I been doin' this shit since the eighties
Run up in yo crib, snatch ya baby, baby-baby
It's the kid still holdin' the crown
Now that they give it I'm holdin' a pound
And I'm lookin' for some bustas who be actin' like them **** do dirt
Come to find out they ain't put in no work
And now my feelings is hurt
'Cause they decided that they wanted to murk
But I'ma chase 'em to the end of the Earth
'Cause I'm a motherfuckin' rider
You can see the pain in my face
Got no problem exchangin' the hate
They got me fightin' a case
And if I blow, will I face a fifteen?
And I'll probably do it all in the pen
But yo I'm livin' with it
Death before dishonor for my **** that ride
A thousand deaths if ya sellin' ya pride
Death before dishonor for my **** that ride
A thousand deaths if ya sellin' ya pride
You motherfuckers need to know that
[Verse 4]
I'd rather touch you, yeah
Said I'd rather bust at you
I'd rather touch you, yeah
Said I'd rather bust at you
[Verse 5]
I'm a guerilla on the streets but it's time for the fun time
Get out of line, I bust with my TEC-9
Choose ya lose, I give ya the blues
Ol' pussy ass **** with his pussy ass crews
It's the murder man mack, I stash in the Lac
I bought my bricks from these dro back stacks
It's the Birdman, baby, come and holla at me later
Duck ass ****, we deal with 'em later
First you, go to the mall and you ball like a dog
And we drop the car, then holla at ya boy
Tell them pussy ass ****, break bread with the boy
Joe, they breakin' bread with the boy
Tell Big Pun, ****, Stunna ride for the boy
Win or lose I ride for my boy
It's the B-M gangsta, the D-Boy Click
We mash on bustas and we flip these bricks, ****
[Verse 6]
I'd rather touch you, yeah
Said I'd rather bust at you
I'd rather touch you, yeah
Said I'd rather bust at you
[Verse 7]
**** tell me money talk
But bullshit is walkin' out on four feet
That's why I'm ridin' on ya whole street
I'll be a **** till it's said and done
I'm from a section where ya fight till ya die cause ya never run
I keep my forty cal cocked cause these **** on my block bang
Right up the street from where the cops hang
And in my head I hear Pac sang
And then them rushin' memories make me cry till I can't stop man
Tell my mama I'm a killer if I happen to die
That's how I lived, ain't no sense in me lyin'
My whole life's filled with danger
Never been a stranger to homicide
My neighborhood's full of gangstas and drive-bys
And **** fightin' for position
The demon has risen from out of prison
Now I'm losin' my religion
That's how I'm feelin' when I'm fuckin' with you
Cause I don't fuck with you, now I'm bustin' at you
So fuck you dude
[Verse 8]
I'd rather touch you, yeah
Said I'd rather bust at you
I'd rather touch you, yeah
Said I'd rather bust at you
