Put Tha House On It
Eightball Lyrics

I remember
I recall a past memory or experience

Right before I used to go to sleep
Just before I would fall asleep

Me and my mom
My mother and I

My mom used to tell me to say
My mother would instruct me to recite

Now I lay me down to sleep
At this moment, I position myself in bed to rest

I pray to the lord my soul to keep
I offer a prayer to the Almighty to safeguard my spirit

If I shall die
In the event of my demise

Before I wake
Before I regain consciousness from slumber

I pray to the lord
I beseech the divine entity

My soul to take
To receive charge of my essence

So much drama in a nigga life
An abundance of conflict exists within one's existence

I have to take the scenic route home, and check the closets at night
I am compelled to choose an alternative path for safety, inspecting closets for potential danger during nighttime

Not afraid of the dark, just what the dark hides
I possess no fear of darkness itself, but rather what secrets it conceals

Killas with they facemask, tryin' to get my safe cash
Murderous individuals donning masks endeavor to access my secured wealth

If I catch 'em should I blast, nigga?
If I apprehend them, should I open fire, my peer?

Hell yeah
Certainly, without a doubt

Cause if they catch me up in they shit, I'ma dead man
For should they capture me within their domain, my demise is inevitable

My eye for your eye, that's what the pages read
Reciprocal retribution aligns with the teachings inscribed

By any means necessary, that's what Malcolm said
Malcolm X advocated employing any available method to achieve one's objective

So I'ma roll like a 20 inch mo-mo
I shall proceed akin to a vehicle with large wheels

Fuck a lot of hoes, make dough, and kick the bo-bo
I am not interested in engaging in promiscuity; rather, I prioritize generating money and dismissing trivial matters

It's hard but fair
The situation is challenging but equitable

MJG told your bitch ass
MJG conveyed this information to you, disrespectful individual

Quick fast, I make my shit last, and put you in the past
Promptly and efficiently, I extend the duration of my accomplishments while leaving you in the past

Don't ask cat, go get a mask and a gat
Do not pose inquiries, instead acquire a mask and a firearm

Snatch a nigga wife, and make her tell ya where them bitches at
Abduct a man's spouse and coerce her into revealing the location of the women

Mafia style, break the code and I'ma break your back
Operate in a manner reminiscent of the Mafia, betray their code and I will cause physical harm

Straight up dogg, I put the house on that
To be honest, my friend, I am willing to wager my entire estate on this statement

What you want to do?
What actions do you wish to undertake?

Go to war man?
Are you proposing engagement in conflict, sir?

Well, talk is cheap, and the game done changed
Verbal expressions hold little value, as the circumstances have evolved

Fights, only midnight gun blaze
The only form of altercation witnessed is the discharge of firearms at midnight

So I say
Thus, I declare

Watch your back and don't come around my way
Remain vigilant and refrain from approaching my vicinity

What must be
That which is destined

What shall be
That which is predetermined

That which is necessity to him that struggles
That which becomes indispensable for an individual in a state of strife

Is little more than choice to him that is willing
Becomes a mere option for one who possesses the readiness

One of them fake niggaz, I'm hot like TNT
I differentiate from those fraudulent individuals, I possess immense heat akin to TNT

Blow up, and have you standin' in a puddle of pee-pee
Ignite explosively, resulting in your presence above a puddle of urine

See me, you couldn't do if you sight was 20-20
Observe me, you would be incapable even if your vision was impeccable

My lyrics so fat they made me go and call Jenny
My lyrics are so substantial that it compelled me to contact Jenny

Used to be poor like penny, not Anferne, but Janet
I was previously impoverished akin to a penny, not the basketball player Anfernee, but rather the singer Janet

Until I unleashed my poetry upon the planet
However, once I unleashed my poetic expressions unto the world

Harder than granite
More robust than granite

Player haters can't stand it
Those who harbor envy towards me are unable to tolerate it

White folks would ban it, cause they children demand it
Caucasian individuals would endeavor to prohibit it, as their offspring desire it

Tryin' to live a life, I've been fightin' to escape
Striving to exist in a manner that diverges from the struggle I aspire to evade

Earnin' my respect, and never takin' breaks
Earning the admiration of others while consistently persevering

Breakin' cakes
Generating large sums of money

Everyday I'm on a paper chase
Every day, I am in pursuit of wealth

Shake and bake
Rapidly achieve success

Just so I could double up my ri-up
Simply to duplicate the quantity of my product

We buck, but don't nobody want to find that out
We provoke confrontation, but no one desires to experience the outcome

Murder niggaz lyrically instead of pullin' my gat out
I eliminate individuals through lyrical mastery rather than employing my firearm

Now I'm on some hard core, makin' me a mill shit
Presently, I am engaged in hardcore activities, generating a significant fortune

Nothin' but the real shit
Exclusively authentic material

Soldier in the field shit
Engaged in the battlefront

Feel this
Perceive this, comprehend it

Nigga life will never slow it down
The pace of life for an individual such as myself will never decelerate

You need to do like New Edition baby, cool it now
You ought to emulate the behavior of the musical group New Edition, my dear, and calm down

One of us gon' chill, it's gon' be me or you cat
One of us will relax, and it will either be me or you, my companion

Fuck what you heard, I put the house on that
Disregard the rumors circulating, I am willing to wager my entire estate on this statement

What you want to do?
What actions do you wish to undertake?

Go to war man?
Are you proposing engagement in conflict, sir?

Well, talk is cheap, and the game done changed
Verbal expressions hold little value, as the circumstances have evolved

Fights, only midnight gun blaze
The only form of altercation witnessed is the discharge of firearms at midnight

So I say
Thus, I declare

Watch your back and don't come around my way
Remain vigilant and refrain from approaching my vicinity

You know
You possess awareness

I want you to remember
I desire for you to retain this in your memory

Heaven is above all
A divine realm surpasses everything else

And death is the judge that no king can corrupt
Death serves as the final arbiter, unaffected by royal influence

And hell
Furthermore, hell

Hell is only the truth
Hell represents the revelation of absolute reality

Seen too late
Only recognized once the opportunity has passed

Can you dig that?
Do you comprehend this concept?

Lord forgive me for the anger that I feel today
Divine entity, absolve me of the rage I presently experience

Give me the strength to be a man, and turn my cheek the other way
Grant me the fortitude to exhibit maturity and refrain from retaliation

The devil in the form of my enemy has tested me
My adversary, with the attributes of the devil, has subjected me to trials

Now I must retaliate before they get they best of me
I am obliged to respond before they prevail over me

No name callin', hoe, I wouldn't give you the pleasure
I shall not partake in engaging in derogatory name-calling, my dear, as I refuse to grant you satisfaction

So you can run and tell niggaz that I'm the one jealous
Allowing you to inform others that I am the envious party

Oh yeah
Indeed

I'm supposed to fall for that punk shit
Am I expected to believe such feeble behavior?

All you did was sign a contract, to get your ass kicked
Your only accomplishment was affixing your signature to a contract that would result in your defeat

Blasted
Eliminated through explosive means

Found in a ditch with your wig split
Discovered in a pit, with your scalp severely damaged

Thinkin' that we niggaz on some rappin' kiddie kid shit
Falsely assuming that we engage in juvenile rhymes

Dig this
Comprehend this, grasp the concept

Is my success a threat to you?
Does my triumph pose a danger to you?

Nigga why you hate me, cause I do the shit I do?
Why do you harbor animosity towards me, simply because I pursue my aspirations?

Be true, nigga spit it or forget it
Be honest, express your thoughts or choose to disregard them

If I'm the one wrong, I'll be the first to admit it
Should I be the party at fault, I will readily acknowledge my error

And then we can get down, any way you want it
Following that, we can engage in conflict in whatever manner you prefer

My nigg 'Twan told me
My companion 'Twan informed me

Ball, put the house on that mayne
Ball, I wager my entire estate on that, my friend

Yeah man
Affirmative, my good fellow

To mothafuckers that don't understand this shit man
To individuals who fail to comprehend this matter, my friend

Know what I'm sayin'?
Do you comprehend the implications of my words?

Nigga better feel me this time
It would serve you well to grasp my message on this occasion

I ain't goin'
I shall not retreat

You know what I'm talkin' about man?
Do you understand the subject matter I am referring to, my friend?

Check this out man
Listen to this, my friend

Shit makes me hot man
This matter incites my anger, my friend

Bitch ass niggaz man
Inconsiderate individuals, my friend

Talkin' that shit man
Expressing provocative words, my friend

Know what I'm talkin' about?
Do you comprehend my meaning?

Tryin' to let these niggaz know
Attempting to convey this message to these individuals

Bitch
Disrespectful individual

It ain't no playin' no more mothafucker
This is no longer a game, my acquaintance

Yeah
Yes, indeed

Bet them hoes felt that
I am certain those individuals experienced the impact of my words

Don't come around my way
Do not approach my vicinity
