Taking Off
Clipping Lyrics

Ski mask on with a burner cell phone
Wearing a ski mask and using an untraceable cell phone

Desert Eagle 50 cal. imprint on the backbone
Having a powerful and intimidating weapon

This one is not to be tested
This situation should not be challenged

Unless you got Smith and Wesson
Unless you have a firearm for self-defense

Quick at your disposal if not
Ready to use when needed

Better to head back home
It's safer to retreat and avoid trouble

This is the business the uniform isn't unusual if you make killing a job
Engaging in criminal activities is a norm if you consider murder as a profession

Money is good when it's coming from behind prison walls for someone who needs to get off
Earning money through illegal means, such as smuggling contraband to prisoners in exchange for payment

Plus it'll probably be the nine to five and there is time to be outside instead of sitting at a desk and making calls
Engaging in crime offers a more exciting and flexible lifestyle than a regular office job

And for anyone to stay alive up in the jungle you should probably figure out a way to carry no remorse at all
Survival in a dangerous environment requires suppressing any feelings of guilt or remorse

All day long it is bombs over Baghdad
Constant violence and chaos in the surroundings

Right in the backyard no service no draft
Living in an area where there is no protection or support

No reason to go out
There is no motivation to leave the comfort zone

But it's no reason to stay in
However, staying idle is not the solution either

When the roaches are all raiding
When the neighborhood is filled with pests and criminals

And your neighbors bumping Black Flag
Your neighbors are rebellious and confrontational

Tired of living like this but not ready to die
Feeling exhausted with the current lifestyle but not yet willing to face the consequences of change

Cause he isn't notorious yet
Because he hasn't gained a reputation for his actions

Everyone wants to be somebody known for doing something people call glorious, yes
Everyone desires to be recognized for their deeds, even if they are deemed immoral

So he keep it pushing through the blood and the gunning down of all the people that he knew and loved to just run out of time
Persisting in criminal activities and sacrificing relationships until it becomes too late to change

And the mantra that is bumping on the Walkman in the pocket probably something that's synonymous to money on the mind
The repetitive thoughts or messages playing in one's mind, possibly related to the desire for wealth

It's action
The situation requires immediate action

No time for your planning
No time to strategize or make elaborate plans

The lifespan like this fuse is too short
Life is short and can end abruptly, just like a short fuse

That rocket is taking off
The situation is escalating quickly and intensifying

Party in the sky
A celebration or excitement happening above

Thug mansion was real as it turns out
The idea of a luxurious and extravagant lifestyle for criminals was actually true

These gangstas ride rockets
These criminals are involved in rapid and explosive activities

Meet up in the parking lot
Gathering in a specified area, often for illegal purposes

Taking off, sparking up
Starting a new endeavor or igniting a controversial situation

Do that shit again
Repeating the same actions or behaviors

Pass it to a friend
Sharing something, usually drugs or illegal items, with another person

Got the spaceship in the parking lot
Having a luxury vehicle, symbolizing power and success, in a designated area

Spark a lot
Generously create excitement or ignite controversy

Take it off
Remove inhibitions or constraints and take risks

Always chill up in the parking lot
Frequently spending time in the same location, engaging in illicit activities

When the block it hot
When the neighborhood or area is heavily monitored or dangerous

Get fly baby, they die regular
Being stylish and impressive while others face ordinary and predictable deaths

Don't want to just deteriorate on a cellular level
Avoiding the gradual decline and decay of life on a symbolic or physical level

The devil is a meddling motherfucker
Evil influences and temptations disrupt and interfere with one's life

That [?] for all these fucking guns
Society's demand for firearms leading to the prevalence of weapons

You can bust into uncles and nieces and cousins going to war
Engaging in violence and conflict even within one's own family

Blowing the score
Escalating the intensity and magnitude of criminal activities

Pedalling pedals for more guns than a Scorsese blockbuster
Involved in the illegal trade and distribution of firearms on a large scale

Bust the block, show stop
Dominating and controlling the neighborhood, stealing attention and admiration

Mustard to mayonnaise
Changing one dangerous situation to another without improvement

Make the cars hop scotch
Causing chaos and disruption, making vehicles behave erratically

Soda, pop, cap
Using drugs, especially prescription pills or capsules

Doesn't [?] a pound of who can rap
The quality of one's skills or abilities is not measured by their ability to rap

And a pound of who can ball
One's worth or value is not determined solely by their athletic ability

And the rest of ya'll
This applies to everyone else

Welcome to the trap get ready for war
Entering a dangerous and hostile environment where conflict is constant

Welcome to the hood go and cover your head
Entering a neighborhood where danger and violence are prevalent, requiring caution

For the patron saint Treyvon and bring out your dead
Honoring the memory of someone, possibly a victim of racial violence, and paying respects to the deceased

Ring the alarm under the sound is drowning
Signaling danger or distress in a situation overwhelmed by chaos and noise

And the beat it banging so hard that you can't get a shout in
The intensity of the music is overpowering and prevents any other sounds from being heard
