Uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Y'all been eating long enough now, stop being greedy

Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy

Ribs is touching, so don't make me wait

Fuck around, and I'm gon' bite you and snatch the plate

I could flip that flow, I could stick that hoe

I could get that dough, you know I'm with that, yo

Ain't a thing about the shit I came through I haven't seen (what?)

But when it gets dark, it's like a nigga's having dreams

Or nightmares, the light dares to desert me (what?)

Got me like everybody wants to hurt me (what?)

Paranoid, so I strike out at whatever (uh)

The closest thing to me is gon' get it, but never

Will I kill? I think death is wrong

So I'ma keep holding on 'til what's left is gone

You could put that on my nigga Boom

These other rap cats will give a nigga room

But if it calls for me to force my way in the door

Headhunting motherfuckas, stay on the floor

Four-four, that's what I get sick with (grr)

Four more, now all this is liquid (grr)

Y'all been eating long enough now, stop being greedy

Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy

Ribs is touching, so don't make me wait

Fuck around, and I'm gon' bite you and snatch the plate

Y'all been eating long enough now, stop being greedy

Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy

Ribs is touching, so don't make me wait

Fuck around, and I'm gon' bite you and snatch the plate

I thank the Lord every day that I'm blessed with the gift

I'm the best, so unless you wanna rest with the stiff

Don't touch that, uh-uh, leave it alone

When you walk past the doghouse, leave it a bone

Dogs bite, dogs fight, dawgs knife

Scratch, shake, and hold all night

So when you hear the arf arf, start running (c'mon)

'Cause when you hear the arf arf, I'm coming (c'mon)

But I don't like drama, so I stay to myself

Keep focus with this rap shit and pray for the wealth

I want the money, give me the honeys with big asses

The most expensive champagne you got in big glasses

I'm drunk, so I'ma bash his head wide open

Begging me to stop, but at least he died hoping

Didn't get his wish, and now he's a dish for the pack

Two glowing red eyes, everything else is black

Y'all been eating long enough now, stop being greedy

Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy

Ribs is touching, so don't make me wait

Fuck around, and I'm gon' bite you and snatch the plate

Y'all been eating long enough now, stop being greedy

Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy

Ribs is touching, so don't make me wait

Fuck around, and I'm gon' bite you and snatch the plate

When the sun is up, the gun is up on the shelf

And all the runners-up are thanking me for their health

Hoping that they not around when it gets dark outside

Sun's going down, you hear the bark outside

Locks off the cage, gauge with the buck shots

Faggot, you've been lucky all day, that's when your luck stops

One drops, then another and another

Gun pops, going through you and your mother

When does it all end? I found a friend in a dog

'Cause fuckin' with these cats will send a friend to the morgue

Many questions, no answers, just stress

Try to hold my head and remember that I'm blessed

With the curse and it gets worse as time goes by

Can't see straight 'cause I'm so high

Why ask why when you know?

Nigga, when it's your time to go, you go

Y'all been eating long enough now, stop being greedy

Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy

Ribs is touching, so don't make me wait

Fuck around, and I'm gon' bite you and snatch the plate

Y'all been eating long enough now, stop being greedy

Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy

Ribs is touching, so don't make me wait

Fuck around, and I'm gon' bite you and snatch the plate

Y'all been eating long enough now, stop being greedy

Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy

Ribs is touching, so don't make me wait

Fuck around, and I'm gon' bite you and snatch the plate

Y'all been eating long enough now, stop being greedy

Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy

Ribs is touching, so don't make me wait

Fuck around, and I'm gon' bite you and snatch the plate
