Oceania feat. N Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to play me 'cause I'm rappin', I will break yo' jaw
Catch a nigga in these streets, make you take clothes off
Leave you dead butt-naked, man you fuckin' with a boss
Cross paths with me, I'm in the hood, all in Watts, in the Bronx
In Decatur, all around the devil block, trouble knocks
I'm ready for 'em, niggas they know I'm ready for them
I'm the hardest, I'm a deadly force so I'm heated heavy for it
Meet me in the club, all my niggas get to whoopin ass
Then a nigga sue me, sue me
Nigga 'posed to be thug, nigga 'posed to be streets
Pull yo' skirt down nigga 'cause we smellin yo' pussy
The whole bottom line is you can't fuck with me
Will.i.am the ghetto (you can find it all), Will.i.am the ghetto (in the street)
'Cause I'm a thug by nature, thug by nature
Gotta keep thuggin I'm thuggin, gotta keep thuggin I'm thuggin
If you lookin', fo' me, I'll be, rollin'
You could find me in the streets, you, you could find me in the streets
If you lookin', fo' me, I'll be, rollin'
You could find me in the streets, you, you could find me in the streets
It's the black rag assassin, 44-mag blastin
Black ski mask throwin' shots out a Dodge Magnum
Gangbang forever, put the barrel on the head of the devil
With homicidal intentions, I reign terror
On any clique or squad, you niggas bitch you fraud
I'm a tickin' time-bomb that'll finish the job
Lyrical damager, one-two punch crush you amateurs
Box and watch me execute like Cockton
My flow pipin' hot scorchin', proceed with caution
Murder any MC, your soul is lost when I'm ridin' with them Bone Thugs
Black Glocks and chrome slugs parked on the block with the nose up
Get ready for the face off, Nicolas Cage ain't got shit on a nigga with a fuckin' grenade
One man army, only two things in the world could calm me
Wet pussy and that bomb ass chronic
I'll never back down, never back down
Never back down now let the Bone Thugs back
If you lookin', fo' me, I'll be, rollin'
You could find me in the streets, you, you could find me in the streets
If you lookin', fo' me, I'll be, rollin'
You could find me in the streets, you, you could find me in the streets
Now we the niggas in the black Dickies and steel-toe boots
Don't bring that nigga that got a pistol and he still won't shoot
'Cause he a ho, like half of these niggas that's rappin'
I'mma let you know, these niggas is actin' and puttin' on a fashion show
We done checked these niggas, met these niggas, man I don't respect these niggas
I'm a real motherfuckin' T-H-U-G original, hate to be a critic but yo' shit I ain't feelin' though
You niggas is elementary, I got history
Lyrically you can't see me, physically I'll bring you misery
Seriously, you niggas ain't been hearin' me, but listen to these other niggas hits,
You hear my twist, they bit my shit, but it's all good cause we keep it all hood
And when we see niggas we raw dawg like a hog should
Just let me put the motherfuckin' money on the wood
Bitch niggas would be Bone if they could
But I'mma shut 'em down, I'mma shut 'em down
I'mma shut 'em down, Bone niggas known not to fuck around
If you lookin', fo' me, I'll be, rollin'
You could find me in the streets, you, you could find me in the streets
If you lookin', fo' me, I'll be, rollin'
You could find me in the streets, you, you could find me in the streets
If you lookin'
I got my hand on my balls
Grippin' Nina Ross, hood star, Circa be my boulevard
You know I'm in the streets, I ain't hard to reach
On some cool shit or some beef shit nigga I'm in the streets
This ain't my only occupation, hittin' avenues, chasin' paper always (always) and I know how to get it
In pissy hallways (hallways) in a raw way
You could get it how you live, nigga step the wrong way
I let it bang b-bang bang, I'm the streets for real
And I love it but you know how the gameplay got me ready to kill
Somebody, but it's all good, with these shows in my streets, nigga all good
Gotta keep stackin' my paper like it's all I know
These niggas is playin', I gotta get it lock and load
Winter through summer, summer back through the winter
We hustlin' dawg, hustlin' hustlin' hustlin'
Give it all ya got, give it all ya got, hustlin'
Niggas that's talkin' about we now, watch yo' mouth!
If you lookin', fo' me, I'll be, rollin'
You could find me in the streets, you, you could find me in the streets
If you lookin', fo' me, I'll be, rollin'
You could find me in the streets, you, you could find me in the streets
If you lookin'
