1, 2, X is comin' for you

3, 4, you better lock your door

5, 6, get your crucifix

7, 8, don't stay up late

1, 2, X is comin' for you

3, 4, better lock your door

5, 6, get your crucifix

7, 8, don't stay up late

Who's afraid of the dark? Responsible for the murders in the park

When I bark, they hear the boom but you see the spark

And I seen the part of your head which used to be your face

Was replaced by nothin' for bluffin', what a waste

Niggaz wanna see me taste my own medicine

Picture that, get on some old second grade shit, I'ma get you back

Retaliate, if it hates for you to think I took a loss

When all I did was shook it off, yeah, you heard me, shook it off

Man, if we was up north, niggaz would have been fucked you

But then we in the streets, niggaz should haven been stuck you

Plucked you like a chicken wit' your head cutoff

They'll find you wit' your back open and your legs cutoff

And as for your man, don't you ever in your mutherfuckin' life

Know when I gotta gun come at me wit' a knife?

And forgettin' you ever saw me is the best thing to do

Don't give a fuck about your family, they'll be resting with you

1, 2, X is comin' for you

3, 4, you better lock your door

5, 6, get your crucifix

7, 8, don't stay up late

1, 2, X is comin' for you

3, 4, better lock your door

5, 6, get your crucifix

7, 8, don't stay up late

You got yourself in a predicament, that you can't get out of

You already in some shit but it's about to get hotter

Fuckin' wit' a, nigga like you, runnin' your mouth

Will, have that same nigga like you, gun in your mouth

But won't be like the last time when you run in the house

'Cause I ain't knockin' on the door

I'm comin' in the house and I'm gunnin' for your spouse

Tryin' to send the bitch back to her maker

And if you got a daughter older then 15, I'ma rape her

Take her on the living room floor, right there in front of you

Then ask you seriously, whatchu wanna do?

Frustratin', isn't it? When they kill me, but I'ma kill you

Now watch me fuck just a lil' while longer, please, will you?

This is revenge, no time before you die

And despite how much I hate to see a grown man cry

I'ma make you suffer, see your ass in hell, motherfucker

Click, boom, boom, see your ass in hell

1, 2, X is comin' for you

3, 4, you better lock your door

5, 6, get your crucifix

7, 8, don't stay up late

1, 2, X is comin' for you

3, 4, better lock your door

5, 6, get your crucifix

7, 8, don't stay up late

When I speak you better listen, the harder it gets, the more follows

And I'm hittin' 'em wit' shit that they can't all swallow

I keep my slugs hollow, keep families with sorrow

Keep motherfuckers like you, not seein' tomorrow

I will borrow a gun, then run 'til I catch you

Let you slip up, just once then I'ma wet you

Stretch you out like a limousine

Where I catch you is where I catch you, that's what killin' means

Fuck whoever's standin' there when you get what you got comin'

'Cause once I hit you in your head, the witnesses start runnin'

Niggaz started somethin' but they chose not to finish it

So I'ma wrap it up, for real, dog, 'cause I'ma winner, shit

Fuck it yo, let's end this shit, I don't need the plaques

And I ain't a DJ, nigga, so I don't need the wax

Gimme slugs from my gats

Gimme hoods from my rats

Gimme wood from my bats

Then they meet where the fuck I'm at, for real

1, 2, X is comin' for you

3, 4, you better lock your door

5, 6, get your crucifix

7, 8, don't stay up late

1, 2, X is comin' for you
