'Fore we fuck around and lay you up in your own blood pool, nigga
Hunt you down nigga, run your ass down
Unleash the hounds 'til them niggas'll gun your ass down (stop it)

In the subways they rob trains runnin' along-side it

And if you want your shit back you had to pay for that shit

Run up yo' stash house, tie granny up

On the streets with a death wish
Don't hide when you see me, I'm on the guestlist

Ante up!

With that Brownsville mentality to Shanghai

Hey yo I'm firin' out a coppertop city, with a whole empire
A clip full of blue-tips and a hand full of fire
Eat deep dirt nigga (yep)
