Y'all been eatin' long enough now, stop being greedy (arf, arf)
Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy (arf, arf)

I can flip that flow, I can stick that ho
I can get that dough, you know I'm with that, yo (oh)
Ain't a thing about this shit I can't do or haven't seen (what?)
But when it gets dark, it's like a nigga's having dreams (come on)
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 gonna get it, but never (uh)
Will I kill, I think death is wrong
So I'ma keep holding on 'til what's left is gone
You can put that on my nigga Boom (true)
These other rap cats will give a nigga room (true)
But if it calls for me to force my way in the door (huh)
Headhunting motherfuckers, stay on the floor (uh)

I thank the Lord everyday 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 (come on)
Dogs bite, dogs fight, dogs knife (what?)
Scratch, shake, and hold all night (what?)
So when you hear that arf, arf, start running (come on)
'Cause when you hear that arf arf, I'm coming (come on)
But I don't like drama, so I stay to myself (uh-huh)
Keep focused with this rap shit and pray for the wealth
I want the money and give me the honeys with big asses (yes)
The most expensive champagne you got in big glasses (yes)
I'm drunk, so I'ma bash his head wide open (uh)
Begging me to stop but at least he died hopin' (uh, uh)
Didn't get his wish, now he's a dish for the pack (Come on)
Two glowing red eyes, everything else is black

When the sun is up, the gun is up on the shelf (uh-huh)
And all the runners-up are thanking me for their help (uh-huh)
Hoping that they not around when it gets dark outside (yes)
Sun's going down you hear the bark outside (yes)
Locks off the cage, gauge, with the buck shots (what?)
Faggot, you've been lucky all day, this when your luck stops (come on)
One drops, and another and another (what?)
Gun pops, going through you, hit your mother (uh)
When does it all end? I found a friend in a dog (uh-huh)
'Cause fucking with these cats will send a friend to the morgue (uh-huh)
Many questions, no answers, stress
Try to hold my head and remember that I'm blessed
With the curse and it gets worse as time goes by (what?)
Can't see straight 'cause I'm so high (what? What?)
Why ask why when you know?
Nigga, when its your time to go, you go (come on)
