Yo, it's 3:25 in the mornin', my baby mom still yawning Kiss my little daughter on the forehead. 'Nuf said, beeper goes off Five hundred, yo, it's Bus-a-Bus. In God We Trust, another one bites the dust Hey Ramp, fuck that! I was 'bout to see this cat Some niggas pulled up in a black suburban, jumped out the back Tried to put it on me while we fightin' over the gat The way them niggas tried to play me son, them niggas is wack Ayo, Ramp, yo, you know it's only right to react (Uh) Call the whole squad, let's lay these niggas down, face flat Ayo, Bust, chill, calm down. I'll be there in twenty minutes Uptown 1-51 at St. Nick. I'm there quick I tell my baby moms I got to go I walked out the do' then grabbed the two nines out the flo' Driving through South Shore, we takin' niggas to war Still on the run. Always run for cover when it's necessary I'm out numbered for now but all that shit is temporary Fuck with the wrong clique, the way we get down If you violatin', leave you lost, you never be found Number whatever on missin' persons Any minute them niggas gon' feel the full blast of my squad's gats burstin' I through the tri-borough bridge in my fat Land with my two nines and my mans I'm a second from the spot, I cross the street from the parking lot My trigger finger is hot, I'm seein' Bust in a phone booth Niggas on the roof, Spliff Star is in the Range The atmosphere change, Lord's in the forerunner with machine guns, big ones Now we 'bout to have mad fun, Me and the whole squad meet up Know shit about to heat up, Wet the whole entire street up Blast from the car seat-er, My enemies wouldn't even wanna be you I see you, huntin' me down, Not knowin' that my crew arrive We gon' see who be the last alive while we creep all over the place Looking for space. In case, see him, rinse my whole clip up in his face As my squad hold they post down, We patiently layin' for them to pass through Carefully timin' the way we put it on they whole crew Ayo, Bust give me the cue. I'm here for you, close to you Blood in and blood out. We goin' all out, bullets just ringin' out Guns is just sprayin' out. Yo, Bust, hit the dirt lay flat You my nigga to the end I gotcha back Turn around quick Oh shit! He started blasting, grazed me on the hip Lord Have Mercy dumped five on a nigga Suck his whole shit, his whole crew bustin' Shit ain't goin' according to plan Goddamn, my shit jam Nigga standin' right behind me, Think I'm caught up on a creep I think I need to pray to Lord, my soul to keep This nigga 'bout to fry my head, My crew burst into a rage Spliff lifted this nigga, puttin' two inside his rib cage Yo, Rampage Ayo, I see them niggas comin', now I'm dumbin' We dead three niggas already the next two we catch we leavin' bloody So much drama over this fuckin' money The way the situation end, it wasn't even funny Tried to rob this nigga because I was fuckin' hungry But if you try to test, we blast a nigga in a hurry Me and my squad bounce and left the fuckin' scene ugly (Things we be doin' for money) Livin' in the street and you're hungry The way you start to live it ain't funny, no, no Livin' day to day but don't live for tomorrow (Things we be doin' for money) Livin' in the street and you're hungry The way you start to live it ain't funny, no, no Livin' day to day but don't live for tomorrow (Things we be doin' for money) Livin' in the street and you're hungry The way you start to live it ain't funny, no, no Livin' day to day but don't live for tomorrow -- Synced by NoMan --
