Where my real niggas at? There's a lot of real niggas out there There's a lot of real niggas everywhere That's why you don't fuck with just anybody A lot of niggas is just on the low Chillin', not botherin' nobody Until one motherfucker fuck with 'em And then all hell break loose Quiet niggas'll kill, loud niggas talk shit That be the ones who get killed, it's wild where we walk, kid Is you brave, nigga? Is you a slave, nigga? Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga? Quiet niggas'll kill, loud niggas talk shit That be the ones who get killed, it's wild where we walk, kid Is you brave, nigga? Is you a slave, nigga? Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga? Well known gangstas and trust That we bust, your heart and soul lies with us, let's see Boldly go where we once took a nigga before Now the motherfucker beggin' for more It's Thorazine, standin' here shakin', hatin' the haters They watchin' my paper, realize, a .45'll open his eyes Now what the fuck you think he saw before he dropped? Nigga standin' there dressed like a cop Braveheart, I'm screamin' up the block Not a soldier, cadet, general effect Don't let me get up and show y'all motherfuckers respect Plans connect, the twinklin' diamonds upon my neck More jazz than Hornacek, I blast, leave your corner wet Straight on top of ya, spittin' like the Trench Coat Mafia In the schoolyard, we make it hard, what's poppin', y'all? We made our change, what's stoppin' y'all? They spray our names, rest in peace on the project wall Quiet niggas'll kill, loud niggas talk shit That be the ones who get killed, it's wild where we walk, kid Is you brave, nigga?

Is you a slave, nigga? Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga? Yo, we here to eat food, my peoples be lethal Shots in your body make you see-through Quiet niggas become jail riot niggas Twenty-five to life bid, never cry niggas Floss when they up north, chest gettin' bigger Celebs on the VI, respect that, nigga Reggie on the regular, chops it up like a editor Come through, one man gang like the Predator If your wake got wetted up, Jungle set it up The jackal, rock you to sleep but I'm comin' at you Air out your area, Queensbridge forever, what? Ill Will the label, Bravehearts, y'all scared of us Yo, when those niggas ran, these niggas stayed When those niggas switched up and bitched up afraid These niggas clicked up and gripped up the gauge Those niggas got jail and sick 'cause we paid Don't even rep QB, you ain't got hood stripes Let us come through, catch you frontin', and it's good night Know how much force this is?
