I'll Still Kill
50 Cent Lyrics

Don't even look at me wrong when I come through the hood
I demand respect in my neighborhood and won't tolerate any disrespect towards me.

Ain't nothin' changed, still holla at my homies
I still maintain my loyalty to my friends and acquaintances from the hood.

And when I hit the block, I still will kill
I have a reputation of being a killer and I will continue to defend myself and my reputation.

And I don't want, nigga but I will
I don't necessarily want to kill, but I will if I feel threatened or disrespected.

If I got to, kill
If it comes down to it, I am willing to take someone's life to protect myself or my reputation.

If niggas get to fuckin' around, if niggas get to fuckin' around
If people start acting irrational or disrespectful towards me, there will be consequences.

Respect come from admiration and fear
I believe that true respect comes from a combination of admiration and fear towards someone.

You can admire me or you can catch one in ya wig
You can choose to respect me or suffer the consequences of disrespecting me.

You see the Testarosa the toaster's right on my lap
I always have a weapon on me for protection.

So if a nigga get out of line, a nigga get clapped
If someone disrespects me, there will be consequences and they will likely get shot.

I got an arsenal a infantry, I'm built for this mentally
I am mentally prepared and armed with a variety of weapons to defend myself against any threat.

That's why I'm the general, I do what they pretend to do
I am the leader and the one who truly carries out the actions that others only pretend to do.

Front on me now nigga I'll be the end of you
If someone challenges me now, it will result in their demise.

Forget ya enemies and think of what ya friends'll do
Don't focus on your enemies, but consider the loyalty and protection your friends can offer you.

I drop a bag off, then let a mag off
I will pay someone to do a task for me and then take care of the violent repercussions myself.

The Heckler & Koch'll tear half of ya ass off
'Heckler & Koch' is a type of firearm that is capable of causing a lot of damage.

I'm not for the games I'm not for all the playin'
I am not interested in any playful or non-serious interactions.

The hollow tips rain, when I unleash the pain
When I decide to use my weapon, the bullets I shoot from it will cause significant damage.

Get the message from the lions or get the message from the nine
Either learn from the successful and dominant, or suffer the consequences and be taught a lesson by a weapon.

Paint a picture wit' words, you can see when I shine
I am able to describe my success and power in a way that is clear and vivid.

Put my back on the wall nigga watch me go for mine
When backed into a corner, I will do whatever it takes to protect myself and come out on top.

I let twenty-one shots off at the same time, yeah
I am capable of shooting multiple rounds from my weapon at once, which is a powerful and intimidating display of force.

Where I'm from death is always in the air homie
In my neighborhood, the potential for violence and deadly conflicts is always present.

Nanna love me so you know she say my prayers for me
My grandmother cares for me and prays for my safety and protection.

I come creepin' through in the hood wearin' Teflon
I arrive in my neighborhood wearing protective gear to defend myself against any potential threats.

Hit the corners motherfuckers get left on
If anyone tries to challenge me or disrespect me, they will be seriously hurt or killed.

Niggas know, if not they better check my background
People in my neighborhood are aware of my reputation and potential for violence, and anyone who is not should do their research.

Try and stick me I fill ya back wit' mac rounds
If someone tries to rob or attack me, I will react with force and likely kill them with my weapon.

Ask 'Preme nigga 50 don't back down
If you doubt my willingness to engage in violence, ask my associate 'Preme' who can attest to my bravery.

I keep it funky like fiends in a crack house
I am genuine and real, like the drug addicts in a crack house.

Cross the line boy I'mma air ya ass out
If someone disrespects me or crosses me, they will pay the price with their life.

Screw ya face at me I wan' know what that's 'bout
If someone shows me a bad attitude, I want to know why they feel that way and if we have a problem to solve.

Nigga I know you ain't mad I done came up
I understand that some people may be jealous of my success and power.

And if you are, fuck you 'cause I ain't change up
If someone is mad about my success or change in status, I don't care because I remain true to myself and my values.

The O.G.'s wanna talk but I don't know these niggas
The older, more respected members of my community may want to speak to me, but I am not familiar with them and do not feel the need to listen to them.

And I ain't did no business wit' 'em I don't owe these niggas
I have not conducted any business with these older figures and therefore do not feel any obligation to listen to them or work with them.

A minute of my time, I get it 'cause I grind
I am busy and focused on my own success and therefore do not have time to waste on unnecessary interactions or distractions.

All across the world like the globe's mine, yeah!
I have achieved success and power on a global scale and feel like the world is mine to conquer.

Konvict
This is a reference to the record label 'Konvict Muzik', which is owned by rapper Akon and with whom 50 Cent has collaborated in the past.

Now tell me have you ever looked up at an instance
Have you ever found yourself in a sudden, unexpected moment of danger?

And seen a mac aimin' at'cha head mayne?
Have you ever looked up to see someone pointing a gun at your head?

Before you know it life is flashin' reminiscin'
In that moment, your life flashes before your eyes and you start to remember past experiences.

And ya body is drippin' and full of lead man
Before you know it, you have been shot and your body is bleeding and full of bullets.

I done been there, I done cocked that
I have experienced these moments of danger and have been forced to arm myself and defend myself in the past.

It ain't never been a question I'm 'bout that
I have always been willing and able to defend myself and my success through violence.

Don't go there, you'll get cocked at
If you try to challenge or disrespect me, you will be met with swift and violent retaliation.

And if ya plan to fuck around then reroute that
If you have any intention of engaging in violence or disrespect towards me, you should reconsider and find a different path.

You'll never catch me ridin' around on these streets
I am always careful and cautious when traveling in potentially dangerous situations.

Without a couple metal pieces under my feet
I always have my weapons with me for protection.

Fully automatic weapons and loaded wit' dumb-d's
My weapons of choice are fully automatic and loaded with dangerous, deadly bullets.

Stashed up under the carpet like a can of Sea breeze
I hide my weapons in a discreet place, similar to how one would hide cleaning supplies under the carpet.

50 don't make me ride on these niggas
Don't provoke me into using violence towards you because I am capable and willing to do so.

'Cause I will kill, dip and hide on these niggas
If someone challenges me, I will react with deadly force and then retreat to safety.

50 don't make me ride on these niggas
I am warning people not to challenge or disrespect me.

'Cause I'll be long gone like the Ripper, so
After using violence, I will disappear and be gone like the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper.
