I'm sittin' in the crib dreamin' about Leer jets and coupes The way Salt shoops and how they sell records like Snoop I'm interrupted by a doorbell, 3: 52, who the hell is this? I gets up quick, cocks my shit Stop the dogs from barkin', then proceed to walkin' It's a face that I seen before My nigga Sing, we used to sling on the 16th floor, check it I look deeper, I see blood upon his sneakers And his fist gripped a chrome four-fifth, so I dip Nigga, is you creepin' or speakin'? He tells me, C-Rock just got hit up at the beacon I opens up the door, pitiful, is he in critical? Retaliation for this one won't be minimal 'Cause I'm a criminal way before the rap shit, bust the gat shit Puff won't even know what happened if it's done smoothly Silencers on the Uzi stash in the hooptie My alibi, any cutie with a booty that done fuck they Pop Head spinnin', reminiscin' 'bout my man, C-Rock Somebody's got to die, if I got, you got to go Somebody's got to die, let the gunshots blow Somebody's got to die, nobody got to know That I killed your ass in the mist, kid Somebody's got to die, if I got, you got to go Somebody's got to die, let the gunshots blow Somebody's got to die, nobody got to know That I killed your ass in the mist, kid Fillin' clips, he explained our situation Precisely, so we know exactly what we facin' Some kid named Jason in a Honda station Wagon was braggin' about how much loot and crack he stackin' Rock had a grip, so they formed up a clique The small crew 'round the time I was locked up with you True indeed but yo, nigga let me proceed Don't fill them clips too high, give them bullets room to breathe Damn where was I?
