Doom Da Da
T.O.P Lyrics

Shit is real on the muthafucking hill God
The situation is serious in the neighborhood, no exaggeration needed

Times is hard visons blurred kid I can't see far
Life is tough, and it's hard to see the future clearly

Thinking will I be the next nigga deceased
Wondering if becoming the next victim of street violence is inevitable

Over some bullshit beef I pack heat
Carrying a gun to protect oneself from petty conflicts is common

Son it's '96 and I ain't going out like that
It's 1996, and I refuse to die due to careless mistakes or fights

Never roll a dollo 'cause my crew got my back
Not using drugs alone; always being with trustworthy friends and looking out for each other

And it's a fact niggas don't know how to act
People in the area have a tendency to act irresponsibly or impulsively and cause trouble

Till I cop back react leave 'em laying on they back
If someone starts a fight, it's necessary to retaliate and knock them down

Sometime I try to maintain and chill
Trying to stay calm and relaxed instead of always being on edge

Stop my brain from thinking, restrain from grabbing my steal
Trying to avoid negative thoughts and not resorting to violence even when feeling paranoid

I'm stressed out, trying to live right on the wrong route
Feeling overwhelmed and trying to make moral choices despite living in a neighborhood with high crime rates

Thinking of ways to get loot in large amounts
Contemplating ways to make money quickly, often through illegal means

So I chill on the block, nigga respect mines
Hanging out in the neighborhood, trying to earn respect from peers and protect territory

?A giver wit the nets? and the muthafucking tech nines
Having both basketball skills and guns ready to use

So pack steel if you come through, front if you want to
Be prepared to use a weapon if someone tries to start a fight

Before you do, so let me warn you
Issuing a warning to potential enemies of the consequences of starting trouble

In order to survive the game
To make it through life in a tough neighborhood

Know the game
Understand the unwritten rules and expectations of the neighborhood

Hold your name
Maintain reputation and respect among peers

And let them niggas know
Making sure others are aware of your toughness and willingness to defend yourself

The way to win the war
Surviving and coming out on top in difficult circumstances

Attend the war
Being present and ready to defend oneself in dangerous situations

End the war
Finding a way to resolve conflicts and avoid violence

And let your hammer go
Using a weapon to defend oneself, if necessary

Yo, I'll leave your whole body twisted when you get lifted
Threatening violent bodily harm when provoked

And police'll have to fist rumblistics on a bisket, another statistic
Hinting that police brutality is a reality and a threat to the community

I don't know why the fuck you risk it
Questioning the motives of someone who steps into a dangerous situation

Bring the cowmeat, you'll lifted off your feet and leave you sleeping on the concrete
Threatening deadly force resulting in someone being knocked unconscious on pavement

Get blown at home or whatever is on your bone
Being killed in one's own home or leaving oneself vulnerable to attack

The decompose, blood flows are holes in your clothes, eyes closed
Painting a graphic picture of the aftermath of violent death

Word to my newborn seed
Swearing on one's child that they will provide or protect them through illegal means if necessary

On the wildside of the fence, the shit is on the verge of explosion
Living on the edge, feeling that violent conflict is inevitable

It's so cold, you might get frozen
The environment is harsh and extreme, with little room for error

Fools collasping and caught up in gun clapping
People getting involved in violence and being hurt or killed as a result

No matter who you are if you know many faces
No one is exempt from violence in the area, regardless of social status or connections

I don't discriminate, my shot bleed all races
Violence is indiscriminate and can harm anyone, regardless of race or ethnicity

Eating your insides like ulcers and pour niggas closer nigga
Describing the effect of gang violence as something that slowly destroys people from the inside out

Niggas get their face split in section
Graphic description of violence resulting in facial disfigurement

Shooked, using ice grilled looks for they protection
People may appear tough on the outside but are actually scared and vulnerable

This shit ain't nuttin' new, it's only things that we used to
Acknowledging that violence and crime have been ongoing issues in the neighborhood for a long time

Get to flown to your dome, blow chromosones out your flesh and bones
Threatening lethal force that causes physical injury and genetic damage
