Death Wish
DJ MUGGS Lyrics

Wrote this rhyme straight across
I wrote this verse without interruption, no breaks.

Clowns sure to take a loss
I anticipate that those who oppose me will inevitably fail.

You know they jealous
You can tell that they're envious.

If behind his back they ever say he soft
If they ever question his toughness behind his back.

Spin back around, quick!
Turn around quickly and confront them.

Confront 'em and they play it off
They try to act like it wasn't a big deal.

Young and the world is full of it
Being youthful means encountering a lot of obstacles.

Forge ahead, stay the course
Keep moving forward and stay determined.

At the bar, who's buying?
Who's paying for drinks?

Been in the game so long
I've been a part of the industry for a long time.

He can tell when DOOM's lying
He can recognize when DOOM is being deceitful.

Sneaky pricks sure to get hit with a ball of spit
Those who are two-faced or deceitful will face consequences.

Nah, keeps his integrity, all of it
I maintain honesty and decency in all situations.

Must be too strong for tugging spirits
He must be too strong to be intimidated.

Guess everything is fair in love, and lust, and lyrics
Anything goes in matters of love, desire, and music.

Kinda fancy as suckers hide behind the bread
Others hide their true intentions behind their wealth.

To the point that the hammer be behind the head
They're willing to use violence to get what they want.

Fire kid, bang!
He's extremely talented and successful.

Cocky since the power think they running shit
Those in power become arrogant and think they're in control of everything.

By the hour dissipating into nothingness
Time is fleeting and can quickly lose its value.

Villain up in this bitch, with a bottle
He sees himself as the bad guy, drinking alcohol.

It's empty, it won't go to waste
He's finishing off the bottle.

Zero empathy
He has no compassion or concern for others.

Ambulance is rushing you
You're in an emergency situation.

Insurance paid deductibles
Insurance is covering some of the costs.

Ninja Turtles backpack, .38 next to my Lunchables
He's carrying a concealed weapon in his backpack.

Took 'em to the sweet suite
He's bringing someone to a luxury hotel room.

I made a drink, no Doctor Huxtable
He's mixing a drink without the guidance of a professional (like Bill Cosby's character in The Cosby Show).

Benzy got massage seats but a bitch can't get too comfortable
He has a luxurious car, but he won't let someone get too relaxed or complacent.

My bottom line and my revenue
My income is the only thing that matters.

Man that's the only thing that ever resonates
That's all that's important to me.

Larry Fishburne, deep cover hoe
A reference to the 1992 movie Deep Cover, starring Laurence Fishburne.

Sit back and watch a nigga medicate
He's going to relax and use drugs to cope with his problems.

How the fuck is rehabilitation
He questions the effectiveness of rehabilitation.

When you tossing youngings to the prison gates?
When young people are being sent to prison.

I ain't kill 'em, I just shot him in the face
He denies having killed someone, but admits to having shot them.

But they gon' give me 20 if I violate
But he could face a long prison sentence if he breaks the law.

God damn, nigga
Expressing frustration.

Might have to come out that mask if you snort a line of this
He's warning people of the dangers of drugs.

Bitch I'm half man, half cocaine in a pissy staircase
He's feeling powerful and confident, despite being in a dirty, unpleasant location.

Serving gigas in a dirty kitchen cooking up Christina
He's selling drugs in a grimy kitchen and feeling good about it.

Got it from a Mexican off Alameda
He bought the drugs from a Mexican person on a particular street.

Told the homie we can swap it out
He's telling his friend that they can trade drugs.

He gave me two bricks for the two-seater
He received two packages of drugs in exchange for his car.

Put a Steve Young in a 2 litre
He put a large amount of a drug in a 2-liter bottle.

Niggas having seizures, bitch I'm through leaning
His customers are experiencing negative side effects from his drugs, so he's stopping use.

I cannot afford to sleep out on the streets
He can't take the risk of being homeless.

Niggas tie you on the news leaking
If someone harms him, they'll make the news.

Put a nigga face up on the news station
They'll publicize his death.

Wanna TMZ me eating tortellini
Even his casual activities might become subject to public scrutiny.

Maserati keep me central hoe don't see me
He's driving a fancy car to keep himself hidden and invisible.

I'm the Don call me Freddie Gandolfini
He sees himself as a powerful figure like The Sopranos character Tony Soprano (played by James Gandolfini).

Nigga what, nigga
Expressing defiance.
