Lil Durk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(DJ on the beat so it's a banger)

For the nigga that killed my cousin (woo)
Make sure he die slow
I know a killer that's ready to shoot something
But he shoot with his eyes closed
Better watch how you speak on that OTF shit
'Cause shit, I'd die for it
I'll go against the grain for one of my niggas
Shit, if I got to
If I got to, boom, boom, boom, boom
If I got to (yeah, pussy, lay 'em)
If I got to (yeah), if I got to
Pussy ass nigga get robbed, if I got to
Pussy ass nigga get shot, if I got to
I'm killing all my opps, if I got to
Hit his ass twice with this Glock, if I got to (ayy)

They say they want Durk with no auto, ayy
I'm from Chicago, where we turn our opps gelato, ayy
We shoot at opps, we high speed cops, we ducking potholes, ayy
Man, he was woofin' like he was like that, man, we touched that taco, ayy
Man, it's a drought on these real niggas, man, free Ralo, ayy
Man, I can't get caught with no guns, you ain't even got no case
Foenem touch your face
I keep Bloods, I keep Crips when I touch down, ayy
Man, I'm clutching on my iron, man, this street life ain't no joke
Nigga touch me then he dyin', niggas know we ain't no hoes
I put savage in this love shit, without me, ain't no goals
I put pistols all in Chiraq, nigga, without me, ain't no poles

For the nigga that killed my cousin (woo)
Make sure he die slow
I know a killer that's ready to shoot something
But he shoot with his eyes closed
Better watch how you speak on that OTF shit
'Cause shit, I'd die for it
I'll go against the grain for one of my niggas (on God)
Shit, if I got to (straight up)
If I got to, boom, boom, boom, boom
If I got to (straight up) (yeah, pussy, lay 'em)
If I got to (yeah) (on God), if I got to
Pussy ass nigga get robbed, if I got to
Pussy ass nigga get shot, if I got to
I'm killing all my opps, if I got to (on God)
(Pussy) if I got to

I got Hall of Fame status, bitch, don't try me like a rookie (21)
I need a quarter ticket if your ass wanna book me (on God)
Let off so many shots, neighbor said it sound like a fully (21)
If I die, was one of my partners 'cause the opps all pussies (on God)
You ain't never slid for your brother
You scared to get in trouble, y'all niggas might tell (bitch)
Run around like he a killer
He snitching in the car, he ain't make it to the jail (snitch)
Glock in my lap, I'm strapped
Too risky to fistfight, niggas get clapped (21)
Everybody 'round me paranoid
You might get smoked tryna reach for some dap (on God)
Savage so 4L, he got a drum on his stick (facts)
Come pick up your girl, we left cum on your bitch (hah)
Niggas shot y'all whole gang, y'all niggas ain't do shit (21)
We play freeze tag with these bullets, dawg, and all y'all niggas it (on God)

For the nigga that killed my cousin (straight up, straight up)
Make sure he die slow (21)
I know a killer that's ready to shoot something
But he shoot with his eyes closed
Better watch how you speak on that OTF shit
'Cause shit, I'd die for it
I'll go against the grain for one of my niggas
Shit, if I got to
If I got to, boom, boom, boom, boom
If I got to (yeah, pussy, lay 'em)
If I got to (yeah), if I got to
Pussy ass nigga get robbed, if I got to
Pussy ass nigga get shot, if I got to




I'm killing all my opps, if I got to
