Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You gotta be ready to stand ground
So they never pointing at you saying man down
You gotta be ready to stand ground
So they never pointing at you saying man down

This nigga money i caught his ass slippin
On the corner right htere, rolling
I'm rolling in a stolen
44 in my hand, it's smoking
These niggas know I ain't going

Come and find me ass nigga
Lieing crying ass nigga
Dropping diamond ass nigga
Blow your ass off, with the mask off
With a sawed off yello tape, white chalk

You gotta be ready to stand ground
So they never pointing at you saying man down
You gotta be ready to stand ground
So they never pointing at you saying man down

Capo! I stand my ground
Just like that Florida state
I will perpously man you down
I can't afford no mistakes
Giving my niggas they roses now
Call us lord of the Wraiths
I say my prayors in the club
Before I start pouring the
Looks like I poured a bucket of water on
You niggas is pussy like a nigga
Tryna score on a date you wanna go viral
Your murder gets recorded on tape
Half these rappers talking tough
But we know your story is fake

You gotta be ready to stand ground
So they never pointing at you saying man down
You gotta be ready to stand ground
So they never pointing at you saying man down

I don't gotta just scared to
I hear that you lit, critics

That mean I shoot
I came from the bottom trentches
Them bitches my city, but don't get no
If I ever made a promis, I kept it
Yo haters gon hate, but they gotta respect it

You gotta be ready to stand ground
So they never pointing at you saying man down
You gotta be ready to stand ground
So they never pointing at you saying man down

Man down nigga, 308
Hit you with the chopper, nigga we don't play
You better fight now
Whole pack of bout to bite down
Got your bich night gown she got right now
Hit a nigga with the 30, man down fuck 12
Right eastside
I ain't never been scared of a termight
Kill them right like a
And your bitch on my dick like

You gotta be ready to stand ground
So they never pointing at you saying man down




You gotta be ready to stand ground
So they never pointing at you saying man down
