Boys in the hood 'bout making that pay
These guys are all about making money, and they will do whatever it takes to get it.

Stay underground (on the grind) every day all day
They keep a low profile and work hard every day to achieve their goals.

They don't say much but they mean what they say
These guys are quiet and reserved, but when they do speak, they mean every word.

What they mind on the money and the game don't play
Their focus is on making money, and they don't waste time playing games.

When the base going down better protect ya neck
When the music gets intense, you better be prepared for whatever comes your way.

Boys steady dripping when they gone off the wet, 'cause
These guys are confident and flashy when they are high on drugs.

Ya better swallow ya project
You better keep your mouth shut if you know what's good for you.

They have you scared to throw up ya hood on ya own set, 'cause
They intimidate you and make you afraid to represent your own neighborhood or gang.

I'm talking bout those boys running from cops
These guys are constantly trying to avoid getting caught by the police.

They don't run they mouth, they too busy running they block
They don't waste time talking, they are too busy hustling and making money on their own turf.

Ya better be fast thinking you can run from a glock
You better be quick if you think you can escape from a gun.

Snap, crackle, pop soon as you run up you get dropped
If you try to run up on these guys, you will get shot and killed.

I know boys with out guns that'll still come jack you
These guys are so skilled and intimidating that they can rob you without even using a weapon.

Have you running from your car before they even attack you
They can make you so afraid that you run away even before they have a chance to do anything to you.

If you scared you better not show it at all
If you are afraid, you better not let them see it, because they will use it against you.

Put a mug upon ya face like you ready to brawl
Act tough and don't let them see that you are afraid.

I know boys that's unemployed still working that work, patna (partner)
Even if they don't have a job, they are still working hard to make money.

Curiosity will get boys hurt
If you are too curious about what they are doing or how they make their money, you could get hurt.

You didn't see nothing, you didn't hear nothing, you don't know nothing
If they ask, you better not say anything about what you saw or heard, because you don't know anything.

Spill ya beans they ready to blow something
If you tell them anything they don't want to hear, they will get aggressive and possibly violent.

Oh no
Something bad is about to happen.

When the lights off on the block
When it's dark and quiet on the streets.

Boys on the corner with glocks

Fuck moving slow, hop in the fast lane
They are always in a rush to make money and achieve their goals, and they don't want to waste any time.
