We been lookin at the house for a bout a whole

A family live there got put out last month

My uncle sniffing blow while I'm rolling up a blunt

His homey in the basment smoking crack with his aunt

And tonights that night we bout to get right

Piled up in a van with a couple flashlights

This metal crowbars gonna get us through the door

We come to take everything fuck the landlord

So now we at the place skullys on bareface

Bout to leave this bitch bare and strip the whole place

My unc took outside he ripping down the gutters

So we inside tearing up this motherfucker

Bust open the walls just to get the wiring

Took the hot water tank and left over appliances

Aluminum siding and had to come back

'Cause the furnace so big it wouldn't fit in the back

Now it's copper bout by the pound, wire by the inch

Got a check on the first and it's gone by the 5th

Scrap or die, nigga

And you might be laughing at it cause you know the shit is true

Rusty flat bed truck the color as doo-dooo

Scrap or die, nigga

Early morning next day at the junkyard

Got four loads bout to get broke off

But these niggas slick I sweat I'm going off

Put the work on the scale and I swear that bitch was off

'Cause I know we had way more than at

Fuck it, split it up ay I get more than at

These niggas always slick on that bullshit

Cheat you out a couple bucks on some dope fiend shit

Now we back in the hood plot the next lick

Got a school closed down and I think we should hit it

Just waiting on my unc to get back from the clinic

And we gone go over there and see what's up with it

Now we up in it taking old computers

Until we fucking heard "Don't move or I shoot ya."

Fucked up hook caught us tryna cash in

Now we gotta B&E case and trespassing

Now it's copper bout by the pound, wire by the inch

Got a check on the first and it's gone by the 5th

Scrap or die, nigga

And you might be laughing at it cause you know the shit is true

Rusty flat bed truck the color as doo-dooo

Scrap or die, nigga
