The rape over, turn your face over nigga

No God in disguise it's me, game over

Hey lil souljahs you ready for war?

But don't ask what you're fighting for

Just hope that you survive the gunfight, the drama, the stress

You get in the line of fire, we get the big ass checks

You gettin' your choice of pimp make your choice and fall in

This is ho stroll B I, take that cock in your behind, beyotch

Hit the streets and perform for us

Hold hard and bring it on to us, fucker

I let you sip up some army, get a Mercedes

And kick back and let you pay me, my Mack is crazy

I leave the, knife and fist fight filled with glamour

Yeah, take a picture with this platinum plated sledgehammer

We over do it add the fire and explosion to it
