'Cause they're bragging, telling the fuckers in jail yo, we just got pumped woo

And that's why we don't do it, I know what I'm doing, imma destroy 'em

Got some static for some niggaz on the other side of town

Let my little cousin k roll, he's a rider now

What they want from us motherfuckin thug niggaz?

Used to love niggaz now I plug niggaz, and slug niggaz

Am I wrong? Niggaz makin songs, tryin to get with us

Must be gone on stress weed, in the west we trust

To the chest I bust! Then we ride 'til the sun come

Shinin back to brighten up the sky, many die

Heard the fugees was tryin to do me - look bitch!

I cut yo' face, this ain't no motherfuckin movie

Then! We watch the other two die slow

Castrated entertainin at my motherfuckin sideshow

Bam! Set my plan in mo', time to exterminate my foes

I can't stand you hoes, uhh

Now label this my fuckin trick shot

My lyrics runnin all you cowards out of hip-hop

When we ride

And if I die by a slug, the death of a true thug

Tell me will my niggaz mourn me?

The death of a true thug

And still, we try to change the past, in vain

Never knowin if this game'll last, feelin ashamed

And if I die by a slug, the death of a true thug

Tell me will my niggaz mourn me?

The death of a true thug

A man of military means in my artillery

Watchin over me through every murder scene

Come take a journey through my mind's eye

You crossed the game, don't explain, nigga time to die, say goodbye

Watch my eyes when I pull the trigger

So right before you die you bow before a bigga nigga, now dry yo' eyes

You was heartless on yo' hits

Niggaz love to scream peace after they start some shit - pay attention

Here's a word to those that robbed me

I murder you then I, run a train on mobb deep! Don't fuck with me

Nigga you're barely livin, don't you got sickle cell?

See me have a seizure on stage, you ain't feelin well, hell

How many niggaz wanna be involved?

See I was only talkin to biggie, but I'll kill allay'all, then ball

Then tell da brat to keep her mouth closed

Fuck around and get tossed up, by the fuckin outlawz

Before I leave, make sure everybody heard

Know I meant, every motherfuckin word

And if I die by a slug, the death of a true thug

Tell me will my niggaz mourn me?

The death of a true thug

And still, we try to change the past, in vain

Never knowin if this game'll last, feelin ashamed

And if I die by a slug, the death of a true thug

Tell me will my niggaz mourn me?

The death of a true thug

A man of military means in my artillery

Watchin over me through every murder scene

I really didn't believe until I got shot that no black person would shoot me

I was their representative, they would never harm me

And if I die by a slug, the death of a true thug

Tell me will my niggaz mourn me?

The death of a true thug

And still, we try to change the past, in vain

Never knowin if this game'll last, feelin ashamed

And if I die by a slug, the death of a true thug

Tell me will my niggaz mourn me?

The death of a true thug

A man of military means in my artillery

Watchin over me through every murder scene

And if I die by slug, the death of a true thug

Tell me will my niggaz mourn me?

The death of a true thug

And still, we try to change the past, in vain

Never knowin if this game'll last, feelin ashamed

And if I die by slug the death of a true thug

Tell me will my niggaz mourn me?

The death of a true thug

A man of military means in my artillery

Watchin over me through every murder scene
