Uh, uh
Woo

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a fool
Up in here, up in here (uh)
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool (uh)
Up in here, up in here

If I gotsta bring it to you cowards, then it's gonna be quick, aight?
All your mans that been to jail before, suck my dick
And all them other cats you run with, get done with, dumb quick
How the fuck you gon' cross the dog with some bum shit? Aight
There go the gun click, 9-1-1 shit
All over some dumb shit, ain't that some shit?
Y'all niggas remind me of a strip club
'Cause every time you come around, it's like what?
I just gotta get my dick sucked
And I don't know who the fuck you think you talkin' to
But I'm not him, aight, Slim? So watch what you do
Or you gon' find yourself buried next to someone else
And we all thought you loved yourself
But that couldn't have been the issue
Or maybe they just sayin' that now 'cause they miss you
Shit, a nigga tried to diss you
That's why you layin' on your back, lookin' at the roof of the church
Preacher tellin' the truth and it hurts

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a fool
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool
Up in here, up in here

Off the chain, I leave niggas soft in the brain
'Cause niggas still want the fame off the name
First of all, you ain't rapped long enough
To be fuckin' with me, and you, you ain't strong enough
So whatever it is you puffin' on that got you thinkin' that you Superman
I got the Kryptonite, should I smack him with my dick or the mic?
Y'all niggas is characters, not even good actors
What's gon' be the outcome? Hmm, let's add up all the factors
You whack, you twisted, your girl's a ho
You broke, the kid ain't yours, and everybody know
Your own man say you stupid, you be like
"So? I love my baby mother, I'll never let her go"
I'm tired of weak-ass niggas whinin' over puss
That don't belong to them, fuck is wrong with them?
They fuck it up for real niggas like my mans and them
Who get it all on the strength of the hands with them, man

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a fool
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool
Up in here, up in here

I bring down rain so heavy it hurts the head
No more talkin', put him in the dirt instead
You keep walkin', 'less you tryin' to end up red
'Cause if I end up Fed, y'all end up dead
'Cause you's a soft-type nigga (uh)
Fake up North type nigga (uh)
Puss like a soft white nigga (uh)
Dog is a dog, blood's thicker than water
We done been through the mud and we quicker to slaughter
The bigger the order, the more guns we brung out
Run up in there, everybody come out, don't nobody burn out
Sun in to sun out, I'm a keep the gun out
Nigga runnin' his mouth, I'm a blow his lung out
Listen, yo' ass is about to be missin'
You know who gon' find you? (Who?) Some old man fishin'
Grandma wishin' your soul's at rest
But it's hard to digest with the size of the hole in your chest (uh)

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a fool
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool
Up in here, up in here (hold up)

One, two, meet me outside
Meet me outside, meet me outside
All my Ruff Ryders gon' meet me outside
Meet me outside, meet me outside
All my big ballers gon' meet me outside
Meet me outside, meet me outside
All my fly ladies gon' meet me outside

Off the chain, I leave niggas soft in the brain
I am so skilled that I destroy my opponent's mental faculties


'Cause niggas still want the fame off the name

What's gon' be the outcome? Hmm, let's add up all the factors
Let us weigh all the pertinent information to determine how this will end


You whack, you twisted, your girl's a ho
You are terrible at rapping, you have personal issues like being mentally unstable, and your partner is unfaithful


You broke, the kid ain't yours, and everybody know
You are financially impoverished, the child in question is not biologically yours, and everyone is aware of these facts

Even those closest to you call you unintelligent, and yet you do not care


I love my baby mother, I'll never let her go'
I care deeply for my child's mother and will not abandon her


I'm tired of weak-ass niggas whinin' over puss
I am fed up with men who complain about sex they cannot have


That don't belong to them, fuck is wrong with them?
They do not have ownership of that body part and have no right to whine about it


They fuck it up for real niggas like my mans and them
Their behavior reflects poorly on other men who act appropriately


Who get it all on the strength of the hands with them, man
We achieve success through our own hard work and tenacity


I bring down rain so heavy it hurts the head
My verses are so potent and intense that they cause a headache when listened to


No more talkin', put him in the dirt instead
I am done with conversing, opt to defeat them physically instead


You keep walkin', 'less you tryin' to end up red
I advise you to keep moving unless you want a violent end to your actions


'Cause if I end up Fed, y'all end up dead
If I were to encounter law enforcement, your life would be forfeit


'Cause you's a soft-type nigga (uh)
You lack the necessary toughness to be successful in our world


Fake up North type nigga (uh)
You are a phony trying to imitate someone or something you are not


Puss like a soft white nigga (uh)
You are cowardly, comparable to someone pale and limp


Dog is a dog, blood's thicker than water
Family bonds are stronger than anything else; they are unbreakable


We done been through the mud and we quicker to slaughter
We have faced tough times and are now more adept at dealing with challenges


The bigger the order, the more guns we brung out
The more significant the dispute, the more weapons will be presented


Run up in there, everybody come out, don't nobody burn out
Everyone will emerge safely and intact from this situation


Sun in to sun out, I'm a keep the gun out
I will always stay prepared and keep my firearm with me


Nigga runnin' his mouth, I'm a blow his lung out
If someone talks too much or disrespects me, I will shoot them in the chest


Listen, yo' ass is about to be missin'
I am warning you that I will make you disappear


You know who gon' find you? (Who?) Some old man fishin'
Your body will be located by a retired fisherman


Grandma wishin' your soul's at rest
Your grandmother would hope for your soul to be at peace


But it's hard to digest with the size of the hole in your chest (uh)
It is difficult to be at peace when someone has killed you and left a gaping wound


One, two, meet me outside
We will fight outside

Meet me outside for a physical altercation


All my Ruff Ryders gon' meet me outside
All members of my street crew will join me outside for the fight

All people who live on the street will join me outside for the fight
