On my side ain't nothing but gangstas, baby
Throw yo hood up if you representing

Gangsta as a Cadillac DeVille wit fo's
This for all my thundercats that feel my flow
To slang weight, my young guns will steal ya o's
Catch a belling down Lukerson and Hunt de-real a ho

In ya top piece, suburb mart, ya not street
I know fools from Wilson that'll whack ya, ya got beef
Used to go to Skate King back when bangin' was in
And if the fiends ain't have 20, we would slang it for 10

Drankin' the gin, posted on the corners at night
Sparkin' pound while my homies in the street, slap fight
Ride bikes, patrolin' the hood, keepin' out cops
Regals and drops, reppin' 'cuz beak in my block

Wild like rocks, my mentality got from my pops
And saints, bustin' back in '90 hope you got from the shots
Put it down for the town and I gang wit us
St. Louis did it dirty, throw yo hood up did you know we from the

***y-Boi, South side
Bad limp, fo' 5's on the hip
Don't know why I'm known to slip when I get high
One time but no more, won't sleep until the morning

Somebody need to take the trash out and I ma do the chores
Softer than a cactus, put it on like actors
Hustle in the shadows on the bricks and they couldn't catch us
Gat still tucked, in my waist by my price time

'Cuz my chain hang so low my charm bang wit my pipe line
Walk around, all day wit this beam like it's night time
You can see em a mile away, but it'll touch ya from blind side
Flipped it, first to finish to the car, that's a nice ride

Dig it, they spin they purchase round here they get kite high
Deal it, it's my description, my picture, my composure plot
This is how I get through 2 d's, *****z
My side we ride my crew's, iller, iller

Who done bust through the vapon yeah, I'm hopin' to fight
Start a brawl, I'll shut that ***** down on openin' night
Let's fate, pull the *****es ***ties start on them dipes
'Cause we leavin' wit some hoes and yeah we startin' wit ****s

Bet a thousand, shoot a thousand if you holdin' that bank
I got the game on lock, you barely a holdin' tank
Get drunk, get to shootin' bust the whole club out
Us thugs out, I'm tryin' to dumb out, 'til I get drunk out

That's just the way I am, don't look down on me
My gun's a open bar, free rounds on me
And I'm an East side ***** so I ain't no punk
I make the crowd get it crunk and do the East side stomp

Young Chingy let 'em know, that the deal is a fool
And I'm a carpenter's dream, I'm in love wit the tools
Lay low when the heat bust, off in the air
DTP, Cris squad and we runnin' this here, it go
