Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause that's when niggas come for you and aint no one untouchable
Can't Fuck wit you, Specially if I know that work aint falling through
The streets man they been calling you I guess it's time I follow through
Hit em with the lowest numbers Wrap up all the clientele
Hitting sales, changing cells, Still getting, sending mail
Watching every close detail Cause these niggas known to fail
Then they'll tell, That's why we just get the cheese and cut the tales
Heard you brought your mans in here, Hope you niggas standing clear
Cause they gone holler, STAT and CLEAR
And Imma get some tattoo tears
Everything you niggas feared, I'm Everything you niggas aint
All I'm missing is a Tank but niggas know I got the rank
Free my Brothers out the clank, Speak against them get ya spanked
Whole bunch of yellow tape, Nigga this that Red Paint
Wrapped around the whip not a ne'er scratch or dare scrape
Check the plate, what it say
FSB
A nigga got a problem with it he can come check me
Got niggas checking wit me And I'm a tell them the fee
They gone do it like it was Free And they gone do it for Me!

After success, enemies will be looking for a weakness to attack
Can't Fuck wit you, Specially if I know that work aint falling through
Can't associate with unreliable people who can't follow through
The streets man they been calling you I guess it's time I follow through
The streets are calling and it's time to take action
Hit em with the lowest numbers Wrap up all the clientele
Negotiate with the lowest prices and secure all customers
Hitting sales, changing cells, Still getting, sending mail
Making sales, changing locations, still working and sending messages
Watching every close detail Cause these niggas known to fail
Being vigilant because people are known to make mistakes
Then they'll tell, That's why we just get the cheese and cut the tales
People will turn on you, so we only focus on profits and omit the details
We don't care what go you there Nigga why you standing here
We don't care how you got here, so why are you still with us
Heard you brought your mans in here, Hope you niggas standing clear
You brought your friends, better get out of the way
Cause they gone holler, STAT and CLEAR
They will call out for backup
And Imma get some tattoo tears
I'll get some tattoos to represent my struggles
Everything you niggas feared, I'm Everything you niggas aint
I'm everything people are afraid of and everything they're not
All I'm missing is a Tank but niggas know I got the rank
I'm powerful enough to be on par with tanks, but people already know my status
Free my Brothers out the clank, Speak against them get ya spanked
Free my incarcerated friends, but don't speak out against them or you'll face consequences
Whole bunch of yellow tape, Nigga this that Red Paint
Lots of police tape around, this is a dangerous situation
Wrapped around the whip not a ne'er scratch or dare scrape
The car is wrapped up and protected from any damage
Check the plate, what it say
Look at the license plate, what does it say
FSB
The license plate says FSB
A nigga got a problem with it he can come check me
If anyone has a problem with it, they can come confront me
Got niggas checking wit me And I'm a tell them the fee
Got people checking with me and I'll let them know the price
They gone do it like it was Free And they gone do it for Me!
They'll do it as if it was free and do it for me
