Grrrrrrr.

Gettin down for what we stand for cause it don't stop

Once, the, Line's, crossed - BAZAAR!

I am from the ghet-to

I don't do the dis-co

I just pull my pis-tol

Take a chunk of your soul

It's me who ride up by you

Police won't recognize you

Run up right behind you

To let my ratchet squeeze

And you don't want no drama

Pistol-whip your momma

Put that bitch in trauma

You don't wanna war with MEEEEEEE!!

Gettin down for what we stand for cause it don't stop

Once, the, Line's, crossed

Gettin down for what we stand for cause it don't stop

Once, the, Line's, crossed

(Next out the gate is B.S.!)

Dog, I don't have to use the fifth to be a threat

I stand 6'3", 430, any less?

Motherfuckers want they shit split, I ain't the one to test

Understand what I'm sayin if NOT, how I figure

Nine to your tongue while I play with the trigger

Will make you understand what I say a lot quicker

Do we have an understanding? (YEAH!) My nigga

In case I be frontin know they really - DON'T WANT IT WITH MEEEE

Come comin with them hollows and heaters - TO PUT IT SIMPLYYYY

So if your team don't follow its leader - THEN COME AND GET MEEEE

But ALL you cowards better believe it - YOU COMIN WITH MEEEE!

(Next out the gate that bitch Kash!)

Dog, I'm known for gettin up in these niggaz ASS!

And they don't wanna, fuck with the bitch of this shit

Cause I position the hits

Speak with the nine, niggaz ain't ready for that shit that I spit

OH NO - get at these niggaz for SHO'

Cause once you cross the Line you already, know we get DOUGH

Dog, the quicker they slip, the quicker they ready

Holes in your Pelle, body laid up in the back of the deli

I thought, y'all already knew about me and these triggers

Get touched if you ever fuck with, me and these niggaz

The bitch is loose, got niggaz like, "Bitch you loose!"

I'm the realest bitch of them all cause I get down for what I stand for

.. YO!!

Fuck I gots to say it for? You already KNOW!

I was goin dizzy, I get busy with the FLOW!

Oh, it's like that? Aight, AIYYO!

Niggaz comin through anytime, any-WHERE!

Pop up and pop niggaz up RIGHT THERE!

Put yo' man's brains in the motherfuckin AIR!

Pop pop pop, you drop drop drop.. stoppin

Look at, what I done to you niggaz

I don't wanna be your father, TIRED of sonnin you niggaz

And I'm sick of bein bothered, I'm confrontin you niggaz

And take this and run, in a minute, I'm huntin you niggaz

Go on now!
