What happened then? I live this life at a pace that anyone can go Know your place and dedicate your role, to the faith that you'll die alone Trace your steps when I do step in a fire of broken bones And I require my heart's desire and when I reap what I sew I bought my momma a Benz, my boobie a jag A cut for my dogs with a roof full of glass But still I be feeling like none of my light never casts Out of that black cloud that's been watered down ever since my first chopper blast But fuck that, I'm not worried, even when discouraged Skirt off makin' them hurt off I should have hurt them in a hurry Dirt off all under my fingers, dirt all of 'em gon is gone Shirt off when precersure, resitation came early I need you to keep quiet as mouse Which is ironic cause rats is what I'm talking about I'm hearin the sonics of gun fire The whispers, the silent cries even though I know it's an eye for an eye I said she see no evil She gonna knock it at all You want to see tomorrow, you promise not to talk Say we on our way now, I'mma see you again And when they ask you questions, you just answer What happened then? What happened then? I was born a soldier, ride or die for life Tied two tears and a lawyer, tryna gimme love Heaven can you help me, i know that hell can So heaven can you help me Im only just a man ooooh You want to go to Compton? Nigga I'll take you there Hough City bodies get burnt butt-naked here Respect the code, a nigga's calling from the pen Colombian neck-ties on the outside from within And then, your momma never see you again Casket to never wake up plastered in MAC make-up, huh Niggas can't hear you talking from the sky And only five year olds see your ghost when you die, no lie Call my catchers up to all you head honchos 2 Dome shots in that head, Griselda Blanco Shit get real though inside the Foxhills though Nigga living that fast life and get killed slow Ask Wack and Draws if a nigga run the streets My grandmother's friends says said "You niggas had never wanted peace." Los Angeles, I'm the motherfucking king here No first 48 cause motherfuckers don't sing here I said she see no evil She gonna knock it at all You want to see tomorrow, you promise not to talk Say we on our way now, I'mma see you again And when they ask you questions, you just answer What happened then? What happened then?
