Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No, no, no, no, no, no

We in them streets, you be with the rats, you be with the snakes
Pull up fifty deep, all my niggas strapped, pull up with a rake
I can't trust no bitch, yeah, I probably fucked his bitch
The crazy shit is he don't even know it, that's some fucked up shit
I can never sleep, I can never lack, niggas always hate
I know where you be, I know where you at, nigga, you ain't safe

Keep it a buck with me to my face or you'll get a buck fifty to your face
Niggas ain't fuck with me back then so I don't give a fuck what they gotta say

She said, "Hurry up and come back"
She said, "Hurry up and come back"
Was the last thing she said to her son (to her son)
She didn't know he wouldn't come back
She didn't know he wouldn't come back
He died from the bullet in this gun
She said, "Help me, someone help me"
As she looked into the sky and she saw them bullets fly
Help me, Father, help me
'Cause I think I'm gonna die, and I ain't tryna lose my life, no, no

Free all my niggas who done faced time, I can never take time
Walk around with chains around my neck, so come and take mine
How the fuck I look, stressin' over a bitch who ain't mine?
Niggas lose they life but I refuse to let you take mine
I ain't tryna come outside 'cause I done caused a homicide
Every single bullet in this gun could make a mother cry
She ain't tell her son goodbye 'cause she ain't know her son would die
Now she on her knees asking Jesus why ain't her son alive?

When you smile, I smile, but not alone with you
When you cry, I cry, but not alone with you
When you smile, I smile, but not alone with you
When you cry, I cry, but not alone with you

She said, "Hurry up and come back"
She said, "Hurry up and come back"
Was the last thing she said to her son (to her son)
She didn't know he wouldn't come back
She didn't know he wouldn't come back
He died from the bullet in this gun
She said, "Help me, someone help me"
As she looked into the sky and she saw them bullets fly

Help me, Father, help me
'Cause I think I'm gonna die, and I ain't tryna lose my life, no, no
