Tear that ass out the frame, completely get that ass kicked Woke up on the street, but you'll be sleepin' in the casket How long will it last? Nigga, don't ask, just be first to blast Outlaw on the mash, tryin' to be the first to see some cash My shit's classic, like my nigga Nate Go get the tape, we keep the nation anticipatin' until we break Money made me evil, court cases got me stressed Niggas aimin' at my head, but I still wear my vest I don't give a fuck, motherfuckers, I'm loc They all duckin' when my gun smoke You ain't shit without your homeboys You probably run at the sound of funk I give a fuck, you niggas is punks Without your homeboys you be the first to reach in your trunk You scary niggas is punks You ain't shit without your homeboys, nigga (Punk ass— that's right motherfucker) You ain't shit without your homeboys (Throw your hands up you little trick) (A squared— coward motherfucker) Like Yak said, how the fuck you gonna shoot me rocks? When you got the Outlaw Pac shittin' your box You was lookin' real weak walkin' down the street Now a nigga 30 deep, oh, you wanna beef? Talk cheap, shoot a nigga the fair one Your homies like fuck it – what's this? You the only scared one Damn, son, close call I bet Now down around the way you gets no respect They like that Outlaw nigga played you out We could have took it to the fists, I would have laid you out Niggas be actin' all different when they dogs come around Watch 'em act like bitches when Outlawz draw down They all clown, better yet they all stunned You the type to have a gun and never blazed it once Get y'all banana split, you ain't Emmanuel Outlawz you'll never forget, Makaveli the Don get a call y'all Turnin these streets into Vietnam Where your homeboys? You ain't shit without your homeboys My thug niggas, I love niggas From small time crooks to big-time drug dealers (without your homboys) The only thing a nigga got left I love my niggas to death, we ain't shit without our homeboys (You know what time it is) I ain't shit without my homeboys (Hey, tell 'em the story how you came up, nigga) Now, I was born alone, took my first joint and I got high alone Now I'm an Outlaw nigga, I never die alone Me and my niggas is so close, it's complicated One nigga smokin' and drinkin', and yet we all faded My nigga Edi had a son, we all happy Cause now that little ridah got to deal with eight daddies My niggas cry, we all cry, and all ride To rectify the problem, motherfuckers, they all die Been tryin' to make a million by hustlin since my adolescence From crack dealin' to rap villian, my new profession Who wanna see me at 8 deep, fuck 3D You coward ass motherfuckers'll never see me Bustin' with automatic straps, my raw raps like good crack Niggas fiendin', I got 'em comin' back Until I die, they label me as a ridah forever, my niggas be together Ain't shit without your homeboys Thug niggas, I love niggas From small time crooks to big-time drug dealers Without your homeboys The only thing a nigga got left I love my niggas to death We ain't shit without our homeboys (Without our homeboys) Love my niggas to death I ain't shit without our homeboys Love you niggas to death We ain't shit without our homeboys
