Now I know you couldn't wait
To hear kiss over premier
Kill you on tape
Then, watch it over a beer
Cause you ain't nothing but a movie
With expensive footage
That's the reason they gon' leave you with expensive bullets
Aint non of y'all better than lox
Have all of y'all dressed up in a suit
Dead in a box
Me and my *****s get reder than fox
And I don't care if I love you
I still want head of the drop
*****s runnin' round talkin' that y-2-k ****
Crackheads'll still gon' want that gray ****
That's why ima always cop the yay quick
So I suggest all of y'all stay on jay ****
Too hard for mtv
Not black enough for bet
Just let me be
Give me all my royalty money
And let me greed
And ima have hoes for six
And hash for three

Ayo I give it to you point blank
In your moms place
So like point break with a mask on with presidents face
Clear my space, when big sheek crash the boards
Ya'll ain't just mark *****s, y'all whole mark *****s
With all that soft *** writin' might as well be in ? cards?
You gon' gamble with your life, when I launch these torpidos
That'll shoot the crack out your *** ? ? casionos
Just me and my gambino's drunk as ***k
With a time parking lot dvd in a trunk
I been drunk most my life, don't ask me why
Through ninth grade, I ain't go to highschool
I went to school high
And I don't care what y'all got
That **** don't excite me
Im black and deadly and my burner just like me
And I'm quick to stick one of y'all on tour
With the sheritten
See what yours can be mine
Without, inherittin'
Give up your chains
And them little diamonds in your ear
Is it worth your family cryin'
And the doctor yellin' 'clear'

If I knew heaven head a ghetto
That was sweeter than here
You know p would pack his bag
And just leave next year
But I got a son to raise
So ima stay in this hell
And I gotta gun to blaze
If you play with the l
Dot o dot x dot at the end
We the *****s that's gon' leave
With the pot at the end
Never too young to die
Or too old to live
? To bust your gun
Go home and mold your kid
Im a shamed I sell crack
But ima ryde for the moment
Know the concequence
Ima die with the omen
Two is better than one
There's three of the lox
Key in a pot
Key in the drop
Key to the top
Father, son, and holy ghost of rap
3 In a 1 seein a gun
And usin' it dog
Dope in a six
Coke in a five
Weed in a four
Ice is for my *****s
But the heat is for ya'll
