(Children grow and women produce

And men go work and some go stealin)



(Badself)

(Yeah)



(Children grow and women produce

And men go work and some go stealin

Everyone's got to make a livin)



(Badself)

Hit man

(With your badself)

(Yeah)

(With your badself)

Hit man



[VERSE 1]

Not to kick you down, but he's known all over town

Keeps two or three pretty women around

Stuff you pop out your mouth he ain't takin

He got the dudes on the avenue shakin

Livin on the hill he keeps up buildin and will

Please understand, this man can kill at will

One purpose, he know it's a payday - hey

Now I'm not one for talkin, but there he is, the hit man



(Children grow and women produce

And men go work and some go stealin

Everyone's got to make a livin)



[VERSE 2]

Always walkin alone in the street through an alley

He has no one he can call old pal of mine

But he's a man, he uses skill

You're the target, aim, shoot, and you better believe he will

If he's heated, so why don't you beat it

You got no car, then brotherman, feet it

Get out the way and hopefully stay

And once you get there, on your knees and pray

Cause you never know you might see him again

And then they'll have to call your next akin

What a way to go, because of what you didn't know

And after all this you may say 'So

What?' What? I'ma tell you somethin, please listen

Once you're gone, ain't nothin you could be missin

But while you're livin, there's a lot to enjoy

Don't play with him, he ain't no toy

There he is: the hit man



(Children grow and women produce

And men go work and some go stealin

Everyone's got to make a livin)



You don't understand

Hit man



Take it down



[VERSE 3]

Another truck was robbed, they called him for the job

This is his livin, brotherman, not his hobby

Well anyway, he had to stop them

Well, as we say Uptown: just lay or drop them

Hang in the street day and night just because

To get a lead on who it was

He asks one brother, and then another

But in the end only to discover

>From all the different leads he picked up

That it was his best friend who did the stick-up

Thought real deep: I have to put him to sleep

His reputation he had to keep

A very cool brother with funny ways

He chilled on the roof four nights and three days

And it bothered me, so I asked him this

He said, "When I'm high, I don't miss

I'm a hit man"



(Children grow and women produce

And men go work and some go stealin

Everyone's got to make a livin)



Cause I'm a hit man



[VERSE 4]

A soft-spoken guy, and that's no lie

I know it's hard to believe, so please try

Cause if you underestimate him it'll be doomsday for you

So tell the sister at the church to pray for you

So that you never ever make the mistake

Cause if you do, just remember your life he'll take

On a far journey with no way back

And no mercy, he don't give no slack

Cause he's a hit man



(Children grow and women produce

And men go work and some go stealin

Everyone's got to make a livin)



Hit man



He's a hit man
