Let me holla at you true thugs

Fo da ones wanna dump slugs

On da corner where dey slang drugs

While you ridin in yo Chev wit yo top down

In da hood where da mommas cry everyday

Where da kids listen to Slip-n-Slide everyday

Cause you take yo last breath and you close yo eyes

Same ones dat run up in yo house

And da ones you thought was down wit you

Hit you up in da back wit a 22

Fo da hell of it

When you husslin everyday in dese streets--dat's drug money

Then you leavin people dead in dese streets--dat's blood money

And then these babiez can't even eat--dat's not funny

Made da girls wanna bounce in da hot tub

See da pain in her eyes--never knew luv

Verse 3 (D.C.P.)

'78 lil thug killer born into a world of sin

Pimps, coke, fast cash

Momma thought I wouldn't last

Born with a pipe in my hand

Cause she did what she did to get the blast



Got a little older

Now I'm on the streets with a pocket full of D and the heat

And the cola seeds in the dosha

Beat in the nova trying to succeed

To a key and a bolda



Now rap game got to change like Ford to Chevrolet

Look boy to many of em man getting sprayed

Ya boy been slanging yah since '98

Now Florida state got your boy caged



Tell them playboy to let Christ in

Bet you 9 out of 10 thugs stay out the pin

Trying to get dividends



So you spit venom in lost souls

Dog now your boy stretching 10 from Calieo

All the way back to the MI--MLK in the shy

Spittin fire reaching them all

While ya'll boys trying to ball



And we go fly while ya'll boys steady fall

Look through while ya'll snorting the coke

Sip mo while we saving a soul

Lip swole cause ya'll messing with us

Ain't mean it though

But ya'll rustled the bus



Dog you can spark me

Go ahead if you please

But every knee gone bow

NY to the Keys



Slip and Slide in the fire

Devil burning em up

You can still turn around woddy

Lifting em up



Navigator truck boy chicks and chains

Ain't nothing to me cat

I'm about making em change

Wood grain and 'cain

Must pass away

That's why we die lil dog

You gone have to pay



Chorus
