{Convict}
(Yeah, SHADY)
{Convict Music}
(Guess who's back)
Still here, haters
{Akon & Obie (Trice), Yeah}
Whatcha gonna do it with it, A?
{Take em on back to the streets}
Akon [Chorus]:
I keep the 40 cal on my side
Steppin with the mindstate of a mobster
See a nigga pass by
Tuck your chain in cause he might rob ya
Got glocks for sale, red dots for sale
Anything that you need, believe me, I'm gon lace you
Just don't whatever you do, Snitch
Cause you will get hit, pray I don't face you, yeah
Obie Trice [Verse 1]:
It's risky, the bitch tend to rise out a nigga
It's history, Snitch, who decided he's a member
Once he got pinched, coincided with law
Same homie say he lay it down for the boy
Brought game squad around ours
How could it be? Been homies since Superman draws
Only foniness never came to par
He had us, a true neighborhood actor
Had his back with K's
Now we see through him like X-Ray's
Cuffed in that Adam car
No matter, his loss, we at him, it's war
Knowing not to cross those resevoir dogs
You helped plant seeds just to be a vegetable
When we invest in team, it's to the death fo sho
No ex and oh's, tex calicos
Aim at your chest nicca
Chorus:
I keep the 40 cal on my side
Steppin with the mindstate of a mobster
See a nigga pass by
Tuck your chain in cause he might rob ya
Got glocks for sale, red dots for sale
Anything that you need, believe me, I'm gon lace you
Just don't whatever you do, Snitch
Cause you will get hit, pray I don't face you, yeah
Obie Trice [Verse 2]:
We started out as a crew, in one speak, it's all honest
Private conferences when we eat, Benihana's
Recondences when we peep enemies on us
Been on these corners, sellin like anything on us
Knowing heaven has shown us being devil's minors
That ain't got shit to do with the tea in China
We gon keep the grind up til death come find us
Meanwhile leanin in them European whips reclined up
It's an eye for an eye for the riders
We ain't trying to get locked up, we soul survivors
Po Pos is cowards, there's no you, it's ours
We vow this, mixing yayo with soda powder
Who woulda known he would fold and cower
Once the captain showed, he sold whole McDonalds
So no exs and ohs, tex calicos
Aim at your chest nicca
Chorus:
I keep the 40 cal on my side
Steppin with the mindstate of a mobster
See a nigga pass by
Tuck your chain in cause he might rob ya
Got glocks for sale, red dots for sale
Anything that you need, believe me, I'm gon lace you
Just don't whatever you do, Snitch
Cause you will get hit, pray I don't face you, yeah
Obie Trice [Verse 3]:
Nowadays, Sammy Da Bull's got the game full
So he move to a rural area to keep cool
He snitchin on a snitch now, there's nothin to tell
Nowadays, your circles should be small as hell
Ain't tryin to meet new faces, this don't interest me
Even if we bubble slow, we'll get it eventually
No penitentary, there will be no climacy
You will meet the lowest snitch in given us a century
These cats is rats now, the streets need decon
That's how they react now, weak when the heat's on em
Stop snitchin, you asked for the life your living
This act is not permitted, Nowhere on the map, It is
Forbidden to send a nigga to prison if you been in it
Along with em and then snitch and become hidden
So it's no exs and ohs, tex calicos
Aim at your chest nicca
Chorus:
I keep the 40 cal on my side
Steppin with the mindstate of a mobster
See a nigga pass by
Tuck your chain in cause he might rob ya
Got glocks for sale, red dots for sale
Anything that you need, believe me, I'm gon lace you
Just don't whatever you do, Snitch
Cause you will get hit, pray I don't face you, yeah

Hide your jewelry so I don't steal it
Got glocks for sale, red dots for sale
I have guns and accessories for sale
Anything that you need, believe me, I'm gon lace you
I can provide you with whatever you want
Just don't whatever you do, Snitch
Don't snitch, no matter what
Cause you will get hit, pray I don't face you, yeah
If you do snitch, I will hurt you
It's risky, the bitch tend to rise out a nigga
Being a snitch is dangerous and can ruin a person's reputation
It's history, Snitch, who decided he's a member
Everyone knows the snitch is not really part of our group
Once he got pinched, coincided with law
As soon as he got caught, he told the police everything
He had us, a true neighborhood actor
He acted like a member of our community
Had his back with K's
We had his back with guns
Now we see through him like X-Ray's
We now realize he is a liar
No matter, his loss, we at him, it's war
We will take revenge against him
Knowing not to cross those resevoir dogs
He shouldn't have betrayed us
You helped plant seeds just to be a vegetable
You worked with us only to be useless and weak
When we invest in team, it's to the death fo sho
When we work together, it's a serious commitment
No ex and oh's, tex calicos
We don't have time for love, only weapons
We started out as a crew, in one speak, it's all honest
We were all friends who trusted each other
Private conferences when we eat, Benihana's
We have secret meetings while dining at expensive restaurants
Recondences when we peep enemies on us
We are careful and cautious when we suspect someone is against us
Knowing heaven has shown us being devil's minors
We have experienced the worst in life and know how to deal with it
It's an eye for an eye for the riders
We will seek revenge if someone does us wrong
We ain't trying to get locked up, we soul survivors
We don't want to end up in jail, we want to stay alive
Po Pos is cowards, there's no you, it's ours
Police officers are afraid of us and we control our territory
Who woulda known he would fold and cower
We never expected him to betray us
Once the captain showed, he sold whole McDonalds
He immediately confessed when interrogated by the police
So no exs and ohs, tex calicos
We don't show love, only bullets
Nowadays, Sammy Da Bull's got the game full
Snitches are everywhere these days
So he move to a rural area to keep cool
Some snitches go into hiding to protect themselves
He snitchin on a snitch now, there's nothin to tell
Now he is betraying other snitches since he has nothing left to say
Nowadays, your circles should be small as hell
It's safer to trust only a few people
Ain't tryin to meet new faces, this don't interest me
I don't want to associate with strangers
Even if we bubble slow, we'll get it eventually
Even if we make slow progress, we will eventually succeed
No penitentary, there will be no climacy
We don't want to end up in prison
You will meet the lowest snitch in given us a century
You will be remembered as the worst snitch in a hundred years
These cats is rats now, the streets need decon
There are too many snitches on the streets
That's how they react now, weak when the heat's on em
Snitches can't handle pressure and become weak
Stop snitchin, you asked for the life your living
If you don't want to deal with the consequences, don't snitch
This act is not permitted, Nowhere on the map, It is
No one likes a snitch, it's universally frowned upon
Forbidden to send a nigga to prison if you been in it
Don't sentence someone to prison if you've been there yourself
Along with em and then snitch and become hidden
Don't participate with someone and then betray them by snitching
YOU RAT BASTARD!!!
You are a terrible person for betraying us
