How many niggas want to ride with me
How many niggas down to die with me
I said, How many niggas want to ride with me
How many niggas down to die with me
I said, How many niggas want to ride with me
I said, How many niggas down to die with me
I said, How many niggas want to ride with me
How many niggas down to die with me

I'm too young to get my Z's on
Get my cheese on while I'm here bang a bitch
And get my be 's on tattoo weed and hennesy
Scream NO LIMIT to the enemy tryin' get my skrilla
That's why they label, tag me a young nigga drug dealer
And the FED's steady watchin' but a nigga makin' money
So the tank ain't stoppin'

How many niggas want to ride with me
How many niggas want to die with me

P dawg pass me them let's get 'em
I ride for your homey Tru niggas ain't bullshittin'
Respect my tattoos I pay my dues
Remember '89 when I made a nigga sing the blues
I was born and raised for this gangsta shit
See-Murder be known for keepin' an extra clip
My Pops say look 'em in the eye before I kill 'em
P crank the Lac up and let's get 'em

How many niggas want to ride with me
How many niggas want to die with me
I said, How many niggas want to ride with me
How many niggas want to die with me

Nigga whenever you need me I'm already there
Its gettin' done hangin' out the window
Sayin' WOOO motherfucker UH

Here I go fuck them niggas I don't care
Where they at what they tryin' do how many
We got shit to live for you weak bitch die skinny

Ready to bury you bitches from beginning to endin'

How many niggas want to ride with me
How many niggas want to die with me
I said, How many niggas want to ride with me

For the camoflauged soldiers leave your stiffs in safes
Baddest bitch motherfucker I gave birth to a tank
I ain't gonna just testify and lie for ya'll niggas
I hit the judge and everybody with some choppers and slitters
Fuck 'em forget 'em hold the gasoline she lit 'em
Ain't gonna ever have to ask did she get 'em
That's all TRU won't you won't do let it be known
Guerilla warfare niggas fullblown come on
I'm with you niggas like the heart in me
My love goes farther than them hennesy
