Chorus(2x):

What y'all want me to do

Keep your shit the hardest

It's about to go down

niggas'are ready to start this war that's for sure

You can come and get it

Ride and die why

Because my people are with it

I want Monopoly money but I ain't even half way there

Do a dirt and a person gotta take the backway there

What it is is the biz and its dirty

You'll get rich but life expectancy is about thirty

Take the business to the hallways, driving up for four days

On parole with warrants that'll send me back the raw way

If I get caught across Jersey state lines

Figure this 98 and I been runnin since 89

So that's like 9 years delinquent time

You speakin crime than you know

9 years you owe it's not 9 years you gonna go

No probation or parole more time doin nothin

They roam to yard writin rhymes an frontin

Carry people greasy because I'm built like that

Burry people easy cause they get kilt like that

If you ain't in it wit me than you in my way

But either or you will respect mine

And leave tech 9 and leave it for dude

The realest you gonna feel is when you face your death

Sorry I didn't know you don't even waste your breath

Coppin pleas not D why you flippin

Now you know the only thing I'm really scared of is slippin

Letin a person catch you when I got my gaurd down

So I keep em up

Noddin of with one eye open

I can it freak but theres a time when i'm close 'em both

Water poisonin i'm a get hit with an overdose

So I don't drug thing crud thangs

Think I don't know a wine stains, or crud blaze

Raw gun playin drama

Sadness to another persons mother

I'm a be the the one that puts you up inside the trauma

These are troublesome times

And the crime prevails

And the dark side keeps a persons behind in jail

Bada-boom-bada-bing s/me of this and some of that

Gotta boogie for a minute but you know i'm coming back

Chorus(2x)

Try to show people but I can only hope they see

You a little person fit right up in a 6 by 3

Layin' up like this

Lips sewn shut eyes closed

People walk past the casket damn shorty nice pose

You was ballin person till your behind got balled out

Called out by some disrespectful behind people that go all out

I bet you thought it was real funny

Until it had to get cruddy

Me walkin off leavnin you with all this muddy

What he gonna do when it's all over for real

And the last thing you see is that stuff

A blast of light that's what he seein' if you say hello to him right

Kiss him in the face and hear that closed casket tight

Get it right it aint nothin but endin it to a person

Street sweeper like ahhhh!

Sendin it to a person

When you in the house you play by house

2 words you'll never here again are house lose

And that's house choose it aint gonna be that

Cause I can't see that

Ready to get in them people real good so where the milk at

Believe that you aint going to see nothin to familiar

I would tell you what to do but than I'd have to kiss you

And it ain't even worth it I ain't goin to build nothin

So I'm just gonna let you go be that same people

still frontin laughin and stuff

Like you see somethin funny but you say sound good

let me see somethin money

For real

(Go ricky, go ricky, go ricky, go ricky ricky)
