Serious
1st Infantry feat. Prodigy Lyrics

Gangsta, yeah nigga you know (you know)
This song is for all the gangsta people out there.

Yeah, that's right yeah this for all my Mobb niggas right here
This song is for all the members of my group, Mobb niggas.

You know(gangsta shit! nigga gangsta shit!) The whole family This our shit right here, this our new anthem man Yo
This song represents our group and is like our new anthem.

Broke niggas everywhere Man I die to see 'em all son I just don't care
There are a lot of poor people but I don't care about them.

My niggas droppin' dead all around me yo I stop goin' to them wakes a few bodies ago
My friends are dying and I'm so used to it that I stopped going to their funerals.

My man just came home and just like that They hit again with murder he never coming back
My friend just got out of prison but was murdered shortly after and won't be coming back.

Turn on my TV just for more bad news Little shorty got him a gun and shot his school
All I see on the news is more bad news and there was a school shooting by a young kid.

Can't even breathe cause the air so polluted Got to wrap myself up in the sheets because of them roaches
The air is so polluted that it's hard to breathe and I have to wrap myself in sheets because of roaches.

The H-I-V the A-I-D-S The only safe sex is to not have sex
There are a lot of dangerous diseases and the only way to stay safe is to not have sex.

We be sniffing, smoking or drinking that shit Or poppin' them P's or shooting up IV
People are using drugs such as cocaine, marijuana and heroin.

The modern-day slave trade, they blew up the World Trade Like out with the old in with the new world way
There is a modern-day slave trade happening and the World Trade Center was destroyed for a new world order.

[Bridge] (Yo) M-O-B-B-D-E-E-P man We got guns that could take your head Pa-Pa-Pa-Pop-Pop
This bridge is a shoutout to their group, Mobb Deep, and their ability to shoot and kill people.

[Chorus] Shit is serious son, you niggas frontin' Don't make me have to body some(thing) (ha...you know) Shit is serious son, you niggas frontin' Don't make me have to body some(thing) (foreal son, word) Shit is serious son, you niggas frontin' (know what I'm sayin') Don't make me have to body some(thing) (niggas is crazy man, word man) Shit is serious son, you niggas frontin' (What you want?) Don't make me have to body some(thing) Hey yo
The chorus is a warning to people posing and pretending to be tough, that shit is serious and they might end up dead.

New York, New York, The Empire State I live hell nigga this the belly of the beast I step foot out the crib, no shit Gotta bring that hammer cause the drama don't quit
New York is a tough place to live and there's always trouble so I have to carry a weapon whenever I leave home.

Everybody want to be king, they ain't fit Look how I disrespect their team, cause they ain't shit They got good talk, but that's about as far as it go When it's time for that murder, they don't show When it's time for that fighting niggas is ghost All you hear is straight crickets, niggas is bitches I learn you niggas how to handle your business That's word to everything I love and God my witness Bring that shit, I'll show you how to work them millimeters Bet my heater will smoke like reefer All I want to do is get my money and re-up Take a steps to all sovereignly for my freedom Not trying to get caught up in global court Fucked up trying to fight the case by global laws Out in the Netherlands I got a better plan I murder the powers and let Chuck fight them
There are a lot of people pretending to be leaders but they are not fit for that role. They talk big but can't back it up in real situations. I will teach them how to handle their business and I'm willing to use a gun to do so. I want to make money and stay out of trouble, but if I have to fight, I'll do it. I don't want to get caught up in the legal system but have a plan to overthrow those in power.
