Take It To The Streets
Buckshot Lyrics

Take it to the streets, snakes with heat in this game
Bring the fight to the neighborhood where there are dangerous people armed with guns.

You wanna be a player, I spray them gators off ya feet
If you want to participate in this gang lifestyle, I will shoot you in the foot.

Thuggest enemy number one, one, one
I am the most dangerous gangster in the area.

From brook-lan, tons of guns, funds and duns
I come from Brooklyn where there is plenty of firepower, money, and loyal gang members.

That'll make you cough up one in the lung, cough up ya tongue
My bullets will make you cough up blood and damage your lungs and mouth.

Four pounds surroundin ya sons, now you wanted to run
Your children are surrounded by my gang members and now you want to flee.

Extort you for fun, softer than a fresh baked bun
I will bully you for pleasure because you are weak like a freshly baked bread roll.

You're team was raw before the four-four, now you're done
Your gang was strong before I arrived with my .44 caliber gun, now you are finished.

The clownest one, you made up, about to get ate up
You created a fake gang persona and now you are about to get destroyed.

A buck fifty on each side of your face, now lay up
I will slash your face from ear to ear with a razor blade, forcing you to lay down in pain.

Pay up, before you get your fan sprayed up
Give me the money I demand or be killed by my submachine gun.

You know my clan hold big guns in they hand, to plays up
My gang members carry large firearms to intimidate and dominate.

Go 'head play tough, fake thug, you wanna play rough
Continue pretending to be a tough gangster, but be prepared to face the consequences.

I ride or die, I ain't bluff, you can page puff (echo)
I am committed to this lifestyle and am willing to risk my life for it, do not test me.

Yo where my thugs? (right here)
Where are my dangerous gang members? (I am here)

T-h-you-g, yo we call ourselves thugs, 'cause we take it to the streets
We refer to ourselves as thugs because we engage in gang activity in public areas.

Soon as a nigga budge, yo we blazin wit the heat
If someone opposes us, we will immediately start shooting.

And we all true thugs, till we d-I-e
We will remain committed to this dangerous lifestyle until we die.

From crow hill, I blow smoke, till I choke, that's a regular
I often smoke tobacco until I cough and choke, it is a regular habit for me.

I blow domes for that paper, like a predator
I will commit violent acts to earn money, like a predatory animal hunting its prey.

Pack gats, vp, best man, etc.
I carry handguns, armor-piercing bullets, and other weapons.

I roll 'em dice, until you tell me that I'm deaden ya
I will take risks and gamble until someone threatens to kill me.

I get down for mine, I get crunk
I am willing to fight and become aggressive when necessary.

I got that crip black, and got skunk
I have dark-colored clothing and marijuana to smoke.

My niggas bust are's, 4/5's, and pumps
My gang members carry various types of firearms including AR-15s, .45 caliber handguns, and shotgun pumps.

Shit to make ya body shift, make ya body jump
The weapons we carry are powerful enough to cause you to flinch and jump from the impact.

Take it to the heat, take it to the street
Bring the violence and illegal activity to the city streets.

Less they short, ain't no talkin shit, take it to my meat, bitch
Don't waste time with empty threats, come directly to me with your intention to fight.

You read the letter, bar is naked on my sweater
You can see the letter 'B' on my sweater and I am ready to fight.

Four hundred and better, tell 'em, hate cash cheddar
I have more than $400 and I am proud of my wealth.

Sittin on a beretta, niggas ain't seein this
I am carrying a Beretta handgun that others may not notice.

Wish upon a star, that they can be in this
Other people wish they could be a part of my violent and lucrative gang lifestyle.

Lifestyler'll runnin from the coppers, bustin at the helicopters
I am used to evading the police and even shooting at their helicopters.

Gettin away, I'm on the low, around the way, now
I am currently hiding and on the run from law enforcement.

Blue flame's blood stain, it's a thug thing
Blue Flame is a violent and dangerous gang member.

Take slugs, I love pain, yo there ain't enough pain
I am willing to shoot and receive bullet wounds because I enjoy the pain.

I speak thug slang, only real niggas roll wit me
I use language associated with gang culture and only associate with other true gang members.

Niggas say money, cash and hoes got a hold of me
People believe I am motivated by wealth, prostitution, and material possessions.

Niggas be talkin shit, yeah, but it's all bluff
Others try to intimidate me with empty threats but they are not serious.

Only niggas came in the hood, and saw us, was on the tour bus
The only people who have seen my gang in action are tourists who view us from a bus window.

Believe that, niggas don't come around where we be at
This is the reality, people avoid coming to the dangerous neighborhoods where my gang operates.

Soon as we see ya face it be like 'yo, son where the heat at? '
If we see someone we perceive as a threat, we will immediately inquire about their weapons.

Yo represent where the fuck you from
Tell us your gang affiliation and where you come from.

'cause when you go back in the hood, them niggas go want to snuff you son
If you do not represent a legitimate gang, people in the neighborhood will want to harm you.

Like franklin, nostrum and utica avenue
These are the dangerous streets where gang activity and violence often occur.

Only blocks I'm namin right now, niggas'll clap at you
These are the only streets I am willing to mention right now but beware, gang members will shoot at you.

Not to mention the block that I'm from
I come from an even more dangerous block but will not reveal its name.

Where them niggas is spittin hot ones, this beat is like a pump shotgun
Other gang members in my neighborhood are firing guns constantly and this music beat feels like an explosive weapon.

And I can handle it, more than handle it, I can damage it
I am capable of dealing with extreme violence and may even initiate it myself.

T2 style, wit one hand and shit, damn I'm sick
I can shoot guns with one hand like the character from the Terminator 2 film and I am very skilled at it.

Real recognize real, crown heights to crow hill
Only other authentic gang members can recognize someone like me, from the Crown Heights to Crow Hill neighborhoods.

Pop ya niggas like pills, plus I got mills
I will shoot you and your gang members, and I have a lot of money.

What I keep the aim on ya back, keep steel
I always keep a gun aimed at your back and am armed with a knife or other weapon.

Miss ya back, hit the back of ya brain, change the thrill
If I miss your back with a bullet, I will aim for your head and the resulting damage will change the dynamic of the situation.

This is real life shit, thug passion
This is a real and dangerous lifestyle, fueled by our passion for violence and gang culture.

Henny and 'ze, get drunk and send me to send me away
I drink Hennessy and other alcohol, which intoxicates me and impairs my judgment, leading me to engage in gang activity.

Ups thieves, next day package
We steal packages from delivery trucks and then sell them the next day.

Bomb in the mill, open and blowin ya back wit
We put an explosive device at a certain location and detonate it, causing injury or death.

And I hate actors, actin like you know me from a hole in the wall
I have contempt for people who pretend to be familiar with me when in reality we have never met.

Nigga hold this four-four, you want war? what you think I came for
Take this .44 caliber handgun, which I will use to shoot you if you want to start a fight.

Spit this blue flame outta the chip of my lighter and burn ya face off
I will light a crude explosive device and throw it at you, causing severe facial burns.

Plus burn ya eyelash, when the nine flash
The flash of the gunfire will burn your eyelashes off and damage your eyesight.

Bullets make it slim fast, ride my dick till I get a cast
My bullets will cause you to lose weight rapidly and you will need to be hospitalized after I shoot you.

This is it, nigga duck the blast
This is the moment, you must quickly avoid the gunfire from my weapon.
