Watch who you 'round

Gotta watch they mouth

When them guns come out

And them shots ring out

You know what they about

Watch what they say

Watch what they do

When a hook come around

Them kids come down

They a tell on you

It's snakes in the grass

Getting trapped by rodents

Potent we smoking

A leave you choking

Hoping you focused

So dog take notice

For a flash of light

Run you off light roaches

Hopping off porches

With chrome 44

Nose long as song

Made by Mike Bolton

Lightning bolts

Rip through your torso

Raining blood

After that thunder

Mommas crying

Children wonder

But this is the life

That we all succumbed to

Make a nigga wanna go

And cut his phone off

Cops killing niggas everyday

Like protocol

Watch the TV

Turn on the news

Make a nigga feel like

He listened to blues

In the hood

Wit that Arm & Hammer

Getting them Pampers

For baby mama

Hood flick us

We in the slammer

Now ya baby raised

By another man bruh

Cure for cancer

Cure for A.I.D.S

Make a nigga

Wanna stay on tour for days

Everywhere you go

Gotta keep that tool

Cause you don't want end up

Happening to you

So everywhere u go

Gotta keep that tool

Cause you don't want it end up

Happening to you

Today today today

I say you never never never know

When ya time to go

I say you never never never know

When ya time to go

So damn right I cheated

Today today today

I say you never never never know

When ya time to go

I say you never never never know

When ya time to go

So damn right I cheated

Today today today

So damn right I cheated

Today today today

Gotta watch these niggas

Better watch these niggas

Cause for a little bit of crumbs

When you trapped in the slums

They a pop you nigga

Watch where you go

Watch where you at

Cause goons on attack

And that's a fact

You don't want it like that

Niggas get bodied like everyday

Nigga masked up like masquerade

Bruiser Brigade

Nigga take this fade

Or get marked out

Like crossword game

For a little name

Nigga pop yo chain

Playing no games

Evict arcade

Trade in your life

For a pair of new J's

A-OK with them AK's

Broad daylight

Make you do a relay

Duck behind cars

When you hear the tool spray

You don't want beef

Get simmer soufflé

Sitting in the Bimmer

With ya lightskin bae

Fuck all the tough shit

I'm tryna get paid

You ain't bout money

Nigga you the same way

End of the day

Nigga jail the new slave

Trust my nigga

You don't wanna go that way

Today today today

I say you never never never know

When ya time to go

I say you never never never know

When ya time to go

So damn right I cheated

Today today today

I say you never never never know

When ya time to go

I say you never never never know

When ya time to go

So damn right I cheated

When ya time to go

So damn right I did it
