Give It Up
Threat Lyrics

I told you every nigga on my block, won't stop
Every person living in my neighborhood is involved in gang activity, and they won't stop.

One time rather send RoboCop
The police would rather send a robotic law enforcement officer to deal with us.

Cause comin down my block is like comin out the pockets
Entering my neighborhood is risky, and it's like exposing one's pockets.

Damn it's hard to see behind a stocking (mask)
It's difficult to identify someone who's wearing a stocking as a mask.

Niggaz get sniped in broad daylight
Gangsters are getting shot dead even in broad daylight.

So imagine what the fuck go on at night well let me tell you
The situation is even worse at night, and I can explain it to you.

The holy's, the two-lows and, who knows
Various criminal gangs such as The Holy’s, The Two-Lows, and others operate around here.

The nigga had some sales but now they gone, where they at?
A drug dealer had a good business selling drugs, but he has now disappeared, and no one knows where he went.

In the back of my El Camino, my homie Deano sold 'em to me half price cause he knew me
My friend Deano sold me the vanished dealer's products for half the price, as he knows me well.

Then I went straight to the paint and a throw cost a bank
I went immediately to the graffiti place and spent a considerable sum of money there.

So who the fuck can I date?
I don't have enough money left to enjoy socializing with someone.

Eeney-meenie-meenie-miney-moe, whatchu' got?
I have few choices available and can't decide which one to pick.

Very next stop - hydraulic shop
I intend to go directly to the hydraulic shop next.

I used to have a 211 case but they dropped it
I had a robbery case but they dismissed it due to insufficient evidence.

So turn around punk so I can check yo' back pockets
I'm going to inspect your back pockets, so just turn back and face the wall.

Roll through the hood and say whassup to the homies
I drove around the neighborhood and greeted my friends.

Put two hundred on the forties
I spent two hundred dollars to improve the tires of the car.

And hit the switch and let the ass on the six just drag
I pressed the button to use the hydraulics on my car and let the car's rear drag on the street.

Showin off my rim no gold knockoff ("oh no!")
I displayed my new rims, which were not a cheap imitation.

Clownin this like side to side, front to back
I was showing off the hydraulics by rocking the car side to side and front to back.

So you can get with this or get with that
You can either accept the situation or not have any deal with me.

It's ninety-two but if you do bring a crew cause the L.A. Zoo is straight puttin niggaz on Q..
It's 1992, and you should bring your gang members because there are rival gangs around L.A. Zoo looking for victims.

They just mad cause they can't get with the niggaz who be talkin that ol' fly pimp shit
The rival gangs are frustrated because they can't compete with the sophisticated conversations the gangsters have.

Cause they don't want to slang, they'd rather smoke
They don't want to sell drugs actively but prefer to consume it themselves.

Comin up short, accidentally coppin soap (damn!)
Having not enough money and mistakenly buying soap instead of drugs is unfortunate.

Only the strongest survive the longest
Only those who are strong enough can survive for an extended period under this lifestyle.

All my G homies put me up on it
All my gangster friends gave me advice about what to expect.

So watch cause if you watch it's too big
Be watchful and careful, as the area is extensive.

Hers and his you know what time it is, come out the pockets
I'm stealing money and assets from everyone without any discrimination.

Gank the rich and give to the poor
I am robbing the rich people and distributing the wealth among the poor.

And that's for makin momma do the floors
I'm doing this to make my family happy in a financial sense.

It ain't no way in a fuck y'all can make a butler out a Westside, hard time hustler (like me)
It is impossible to change someone from a hardcore, Westside hustler like me and make him a butler.

I'd rather see a grave, than be a slave
I prefer dying than becoming anyone's servant or being dominated.

On front page on the stage with a twenty gauge
I'd instead die in a shootout and make headlines than live as a servant.

Cause ropes and whips and belts don't help
Punishments such as rope, whip, or belt can't teach someone to obey or work willingly for someone.

So you can bail that motherfuckin hay yo'self
You have to make your effort and struggle to achieve the goals you set in life.

For five-twenty-five they must be high
A price of 525 dollars for some drugs is unrealistic and must be a joke.

Smokin up three and fo' chickens at once
I consumed heavily and smoked more than one kind of drug simultaneously.

Servin them thangs like Burger King
I'm providing these drugs, just like a fast-food chain like Burger King does.

So let me show you love on a fat dub
I will show my appreciation and offer you some drugs in bulk at a reasonable price.

But I didn't know he was a NARC with the police department
I was unaware that the person buying the drugs was a cop or law enforcement officer.

Then again I wouldn't know I never seen the seargeant
I wouldn't know if there is a sergeant among the cops or not, as I never saw them in person.

sucker, now I'm stuck up like a (?)
I got trapped or caught due to my foolishness or naivety.

And tell my bitch to come get me up out this motherfucker
Ask my girlfriend to come and get me out of this troublesome situation.

Jammed, cause, Uncle Sam is givin ten years for every damn gram ("Bam!")
I am in trouble because the government has a severe penalty for drug trafficking.

You want to throw away me and throw away the key
The authorities want to put me in prison for an extended period and throw away the key to teach me a lesson.

And stick me in the dungeon with the criminals, him and those deputies
They will assign me to an uncomfortable, overcrowded prison with other dangerous criminals.

kickin those refugees
Being in jail is terrible and puts one in a difficult situation.

I made bail punk so you can have my bunk
I paid the bail amount to get out of jail, so someone else can take my spot and save money.

"Tie 'em up" (give it up) "and then feed the bitch pork!" -> Ice Cube
This is how someone like Ice Cube gets back at others who betrayed him or put him in danger by challenging their manhood or worthiness as gangsters.

(That's how them motherfuckers did me. Gave me handcuffs and a ham sandwich.)
This is how these guys treated me when they arrested me, and I don't appreciate it.
