Signs
Black Portland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Big B's in his face
Nigga play, We gone shoot up this whole place
D.O.A
Dead on arrival
I'm headed for our rivals
Get crossed up no bibles
We bleeding no towels
Two guns up like the twin towers
(?) like twin towers
Fuck niggas getting devoured
Niggas wish they was us
That's why they niggas sour
Pussy nigga tell the tale
They ain't nothing but some cowards
Sex money murder nigga that's my game
All my niggas with me yeah we rep the same thing
Got some homies in the G (?) that's the bang gang
Blood in blood out we always gang bang

We bang we bang we bang
They banging we banging (got plans)
We bang we bang we bang (fuck you and your man)
They banging we banging

They banging we banging We bang we bang we bang

B-L-O-O-D-Y thug thug

Nigga still don't know about Bloody J are gonna die
Nigga still don't know about King Slime I will Fry
Blood Rich Gang run with pistols like utensils
YSL we'll just beat you like instrumentals
ROB got that tattooed on my temple
Blood Rich in the club with that 25 like (?)
All I know is red, we've been like that since the 90's
Wrap my money up and told the feds to come and find me
5: 55 now that's what you call perfect timing
A110 YSL stand behind me

They banging we banging (got plans)
We bang we bang we bang (fuck you and your man)
They banging we banging
We bang we bang we bang (we bang)




They banging we banging We bang we bang we bang
They banging we banging
