Raise Up
Geto Boys Lyrics

Click click bang he, he, he
The sound of a gun being fired

I'm sick of niggaz trying to shoot the big six
I'm tired of people trying to take down powerful people

But when the shit jumps off the nigga plays the big bitch
But when the situation turns violent, they become cowards

And that's the problem with the nation of blacks
That is the issue among the black community

Too slow with your motherfucking hands so you grab your gats
You're too slow to use your fists, so you resort to using a gun

And listen to the gangsta music
They are influenced by violent music

You got a glock-ten in your lap but you scared to use it
You have a gun but are too afraid to use it

You's a motherfucking stud
You're trying to act tough

Letting all your homies know you bought another gun
You're showing off to your friends that you have acquired another weapon

Suppose they tried to pack you, dropped your dick in the dirt
If they tried to attack you, you would be too scared and unable to defend yourself

And know exactly how to send it at you
They know how to take advantage of your insecurity and weakness

Trying to work your way into the big clique
You're attempting to gain acceptance from a powerful group

And that's the main reason young niggaz die quick
That's why young people die so quickly

Living in this fast shit and trying to have a bad bit
Living in a fast-paced lifestyle and trying to attract a good-looking partner

But what you niggaz know about a bank roll
But what do you know about having a lot of money

Tricking off the money you made with them stank hoes
Wasting the money you earned on unimportant things

Think about it quick quick and raise up bitch
Think about it carefully and act tough

Now the niggaz I run with are down brothers
The people I associate with are loyal

And ready to die for a motherfucker
And are willing to die for each other

So when you want to step mate
If you want to challenge us

I'm a bust you dead in your ass with this twelve gauge
I'll kill you with my shotgun

I ain't your ordinary villain
I'm not like any other bad guy you've encountered

Some niggaz was born dying I was born killing
Some are meant to die while others are meant to kill

So gather up your army G
So bring all your friends

Cause that's what it's going to take to stop a nigga like me
That's what it will take to stop someone like me

cause I'm coming at you full force nigga
I'm coming at you with all my strength

I hope you got some real niggaz on the trigger
I hope you have some skilled gunmen with you

Cause I be rolling like a hustler
I act like a successful and confident person

And since you got gats you better use them motherfuckers
And since you have guns, you should use them

Sparking nines at a drastic pace
Firing a lot of bullets quickly

Taking orders from a motherfucking basket case
Following orders from someone who is mentally unstable

So when my nine goes pop
When I fire my gun

Boy you better shit and get your ass up off the pot
You better start running

Fuck 'em up listen to my glock click
I'm going to harm them, listen to the sound of my gun

Now raise up bitch
Now act tough

So niggaz don't fuck with me
So people know not to mess with me

Cause I'm a run the whole ninety motherfucking three
Because I will be successful my entire life

And the rest of the years to come
And for the rest of my life

So bitches bring it on if you motherfuckers want some
So come at me if you want to fight

And I'm a break you off a big piece
And I will harm you significantly

Cause niggaz can't fuck with the big chief
Because no one can overpower me

Attention motherfuckers about face
Pay attention to me and listen closely

Salute the one that the people call Scarface
Respect me, who is known as Scarface

Still quick to hit them up, quick to get them up
I am still fast to attack and kill others

Quick to not give a fuck, never bringing the false shit
I don't care about anything and I am not dishonest

I left the mic for a year and I still ain't lost it
I haven't lost my skill in rapping despite taking a break

Still running them down, gunning them down
I am still chasing and shooting others

Yeah, 'cause real niggaz going to clown
Because real people will act tough

So put your crown on since you're bigger
So act like a king since you're physically stronger

And let me take care of my business nigga
And leave me to handle my own problems

The bigger the nigga the bigger the cap
The bigger the person, the bigger the bullet they need

The bigger the bullet the bigger the fucking gatt
And the bigger the gun they need

So step up with that hoe shit and I'm a empty the whole clip
So if you act like a coward, I will shoot you with my full clip

Ain't no running like a rabbit
You can't run away and hide

Cause I'm a let you motherfuckers have it
Because I will harm you severely

Let the motherfucker blast
Let the gun fire

And bring your hat to your motherfucking ass
And watch as it knocks your hat off

Cause niggaz ain't true to it, you're new to it
Because others aren't committed, you will fail

And don't know what to do to it
And don't know how to handle the situation

But I ain't never had that kind of luck
But I have never had that kind of misfortune

If you're scared to bite the bullet then raise the fuck
If you're too afraid to face the danger, then act tough or back down
