Stick up kids is out to tax (2x)
And this is how the story goes
Brothers are amused by others brothers reps
But the thing they know best is where the gun is kept
cause in the night, youll feel fright
And at the sight of a 4-5th, I guess you just might
Wanna do a dance or two
cause they could maybe bust you for self or wit a crew
No matter is you or your brothers a star
He could pop you in check without a getaway car
And some might say that hes a dummy
But sticking you and taking all of your money
Its a daily operation
He might be loose in the park or lurking at the train station
Mad brothers know his name
So he thinks he got a little fame
From the stick-up game
And while were blaming society
Hes at a party with his man
They got their eye on the gold chain
That the next mans wearing
It looks big but they aint staring
Just thinking of a way and when to get the brother
Theyll be long gone before the kid recovers
And back around the way, hell have the chain on his neck
Claimin respect, just to get a rep
Ten brothers in a circle
Had the kid trapped, the one wit the hood, he said, well hurt you
If you dont run out your dues and pay
Give up the rolex watch or you wont see another day
See, they were on the attack
And one said, yo, you wanna make this to a homicide rap?
Make it fast so we can be on our way
Kick in the rings and everything, ok?
The kid was nervous and flinching
And little shorty with the 3-8, yo, he was inchin
Closer and closer, put the gun to his head
Shorty was down to catch a body instead
Money was scared so he panicked
Took off his link and his rings and ran frantic
But shorty said, now pulled the trigger and stepped
It was nothing, he did it just to get a rep
