Check The Lock

Hood used to check for him when he'd pull up flexing

Now he check under the hood 'fore he start the engine

Came out the stash house, something didn't smell right

He on the ground trying to look up in the tailpipe

Mighty fall for a mighty man

Had a manicure, now it's dirt and oil on his hands

Staying low as he scrambles to the car door

Glad it's just a short trip to the condo

No signal, head on a swivel

Hand on the center console with the pistol

Tinted black, got the window right

Always shoot the gap at the yellow light

Bag of little yellow pills for the nerves

But it makes it even worse when the Xannys don't work

And he panic, ears ringing, when you call, he can't hear you

Every seven seconds, eyes back up in the rearview

Something in this room didn't used to be

Gin bottle to the face, can't fool a G

Laughing at him, he ain't ever scared, though

But he check the lock every time he walk by the door

Check the lock every time he walk by the door

Check the lock every time he walk by the door

He run the motherfucking city, yeah, they know

But he check the lock every time he walk by the door

Never park right outside where he live

He don't want his ride outside his crib

'Cause they might roll by, recognize it

And then come inside at night ready to fire with

Guns like he ain't got none

Joke's on them when his Uzi weigh a ton

Get out the car slow, always walk, never run, find a busy block

Keep his hand locked on the trigger case they figure

It's a fun day someday, no, he don't play

No, they one day know he gon' pay

But they best hope they no make no mistake

He ain't goin' soft just 'cause he got Olay

On his hands now, VVS gleamin'

Staying off the phone, no one chasing where he bein'

Never trust another man walking by cheesin'

Never catch him sleep, he won't let the bad dreams win

Something in this room didn't used to be

Gin bottle to the face, can't fool a G

Laughing at him, he ain't ever scared, though

But he check the lock every time he walk by the door

Check the lock every time he walk by the door

Check the lock every time he walk by the door

He run the motherfucking city, yeah, they know

But he check the lock every time he walk by the door

Lights out, can't nobody see in

But he see the lights outside, they be creepin'

He behind the blinds, but the four-five peekin'

Thought he heard the sirens, maybe he was tweakin'

Now he got the Seagram's bottle to the face, can't fool the G

Told his brother to be ready with the eulogy

They laughed about it, but he hoped he really did it

Wall clock clickin', getting louder by the minute

That second-hand shit got to go

He be on that new-new, everybody know

Gucci to they Fubu, they fucking with a pro

Money to the ceiling, so it's Persian on the floor

Used to be shoes off, but it's never that

Since he found the metal shavings waiting by the welcome mat

Every day stuck, keep the heater tucked

They got him sleeping in his Chucks

Something in this room didn't used to be

Gin bottle to the face, can't fool a G

Laughing at him, he ain't ever scared, though

But he check the lock every time he walk by the door

Check the lock every time he walk by the door

Check the lock every time he walk by the door

He run the motherfucking city, yeah, they know

But he check the lock every time he walk by the door
