Hawk released his solo album, "Under Hawk's Wings" on Dead End Records in 2000 and had recorded with Lil' Flip, Lil' Keke, Big Moe, Z-Ro and was featured on the Lil' Troy hit "Wanna Be A Baller."

He was respected in the Houston underground rap scene and appeared on numerous mixtapes from artists such as Paul Wall, Lil' Flip, Z-Ro, E.S.G., Lil' Keke and Big Pokey. After Screw's death in 2000, he was the main person responsible for keeping the S.U.C. together, so much so that his nickname was the Five Star General of the Screwed Up Click.

In The Turning Lane
H.A.W.K. Lyrics

I say what I mean and I mean what I say
I say what I mean and I mean what I say
I say what I mean and I mean what I say
I say what I mean and I mean what I say

I say what I mean and I mean what I say
I don't switch up just to make someones day
The real ones respect it
The fake n***as hate
But I don't give two f***s about what they say

I keep it a hundred authentic and true
The ones in my circle they know how I move
If I can't trust you
Then we can't be cool
Stay in yo lane and do what you do
I say what I mean and I mean what I say
I don't switch up just to make someones day
The real ones respect it
The fake n***as hate
But I don't give two f***s about what they say
I keep it a hundred authentic and true
The ones in my circle they know how I move
If I can't trust you
Then we can't be cool
Stay in yo lane and do what you do

Don't talk it if you not gone back it up
These types of actions will leave yo whole family touched
That means
Yo mother
Yo father
Yo sister
Yo brother
Yo aunts and uncles etc

Gone

This is not me on no gansta sh*t
This is a warning followed by promises
I'll go to war over mines any place any time say my name
And I'll show up like candyman
BOO
But don't get it twisted
Nothing sweet bout me
I'm Freddy Krueger to n***as that sleep on me
I bring the heat like Lebron with the 6 on it
Body'n n***as like I am the 6 God
666
I keep a 40 but not for a hit song
Mine produce hits But it's not on the billboards
I keep a drum so I'm able to hold more
So many shots that it sounds like a drum roll

So many shots that it sounds like a drum roll

I keep a 40 but not for a hit song
Mine produce hits but it's not for the billboards
I keep a drum so I'm able to hold more

I say what I mean and I mean what I say
I don't switch up just to make someones day
The real ones respect it
The fake n***as hate
But I don't give two f***s about what they say
I keep it a hundred authentic and true
The ones in my circle they know how I move
If I can't trust you
Then we can't be cool
Stay in yo lane and do what you do
I say what I mean and I mean what I say
I don't switch up just to make someones day
The real ones respect it
The fake n***as hate
But I don't give two f***s about what they say
I keep it a hundred authentic and true
The ones in my circle they know how I move
If I can't trust you
Then we can't be cool
Stay in yo lane and do what you do

I don't know where the confusion came in
But allow me to clear it up
I'm am not one to be tested
It's never a question
About if I'm pulling up
I am a man of my word
If I said it I meant it
Verbatim no switching up
If I say it's on site
Could be day could be night
Either way you'll be getting touched
I'm never one to go starting s**t
Nope
But I'm real good at ending it
Truuu
Whether we're talking like men
Or decide to throw hands
Either way I want all the smoke
Like the end of a cigarette
Spray the whole block make news where you stay at
Then catch a flight to a spot I be chillin at
Posted up living my life never lookin back
Never
Never looking back
Never
I want the smoke like the end of a cigarette
All of it
Don't care where you at
I want the smoke like the end of a cigarette

I say what I mean and I mean what I say
I don't switch up just to make someones day
The real ones respect it
The fake n***as hate
But I don't give two f***s about what they say
I keep it a hundred authentic and true
The ones in my circle they know how I move
If I can't trust you
Then we can't be cool
Stay in yo lane and do what you do
I say what I mean and I mean what I say
I don't switch up just to make someones day
The real ones respect it
The fake n***as hate
But I don't give two f***s about what they say
I keep it a hundred authentic and true
The ones in my circle they know how I move
If I can't trust you
Then we can't be cool
Stay in yo lane and do what you do
