Gather Round
Two-9 Lyrics

Gather Round
Come together and listen closely

Kids sit down for this fuckin' lesson
Young people, pay attention to this important message

My money won't fold under peer pressure
I won't let others influence my financial decisions

If your homie doin' time, nigga send a letter
If your friend is in prison, send them a letter to show your support

Put money on his books so he know better
Deposit money into their account to help them make better choices

Hey, just the Lightskin Mac 11
I feel powerful like a gun, confident in my abilities

I think I'm Mike Vick with the pits
I believe I'm as skilled and successful as Mike Vick with his dogs

But I treat my dogs like my fuckin' family
I love and care for my pets as if they were my own family

Made a couple mil' with the 9 fam
I have made a significant amount of money with my close group of friends

RIP to Rose and my Uncle Champ
My condolences to Rose and my late Uncle Champ, who have passed away

With my back against the wall I'm the people's champ
Even when faced with adversity, I remain a champion in the eyes of the people

Hey, I got stripes, no Mills Lanes, switchin' both lanes
I have a reputation and credibility, and I navigate both sides of situations

White bitch, green eyes, money ain't a thang
I am attracted to a white woman with green eyes, and money is not an issue for me

R-roll up four blunts, tell her fill it up with pain
I roll four cannabis joints and use them to cope with emotional pain

Blow away the stress, how a nigga stay sane
I use smoking and relaxing to maintain my mental stability

I just hope when you look down at me
I desire to gain approval and respect from someone in a higher position

You feel the same 'bout me, hey
I want that person to have a positive opinion of me

Bathing Ape under leather jackets
Wearing expensive Bathing Ape clothing underneath leather jackets

Nothin' less than a gram
I only possess and consume drugs in gram quantities

Bitch you know I pack it
I carry drugs with me at all times and people are aware of it

8 ball and some filthy fanta
I have cocaine and a contaminated drink

Probably hangin' with some niggas that you can't handle
I likely spend time with individuals who are too intense or difficult for you to handle

Might OD if I don't stop
I am at risk of overdosing if I don't stop my dangerous behavior

You couldn't last one day in this red box
You wouldn't be able to survive the intense lifestyle I am involved in

I just took my life and put it on a dope beat
I have transformed my experiences into compelling lyrics over a captivating instrumental

Ask about 'em in the city, bet they know me
Inquire about me within the city and you'll find that I am well-known

Danco in this bitch rollin' up an OZ
I am actively rolling up an ounce of marijuana in this location

No key, push to start and bitch we roll deep
We don't need a physical key to start our success, we are a large and influential group

[?] need a check
We are in need of a financial payment or opportunity

So we grindin' all day, what the fuck you expect
We are working tirelessly throughout the day, what do you think would be the result?

So many battlefield scars
I have endured numerous hardships and challenges

We're drippin in plush cars
We are flaunting our luxurious vehicles

We mobbin' and never stoppin' til they say the world is ours
We move as a strong unit and will continue to strive until we have complete control and domination

My ambition as a ridah, must I remind ya?
I am driven and determined, do I need to reiterate that to you?

Gold teeth in his mouth no designer
He has gold teeth, but they are not from a well-known brand or designer

No sleep cause cost a fee just to sign them
I can't afford to rest because it's expensive to secure contracts

And you checking right, on the east you can find 'em
If you investigate properly, you will discover that they are located on the east side

Eh eh, I was on the road
I was constantly traveling and on tour

Doin' shows, blowin' Os by the K, K
Performing concerts and smoking marijuana

Like a agreements, and I swear they never seen it
Similar to contracts, and I promise they have never witnessed something like this before

Niggas wil' out when I'm screamin'
People go crazy with excitement when I am performing or expressing myself loudly

Salute me bitch, I'm great
Respect and acknowledge my greatness

We took it state to state
We have expanded our influence and performed in different states

Now all my 9's straight
Everyone in my crew is doing well and on the right path

And I'm talkin' to the ones that I bang wit'
I am specifically addressing and conversing with those who are in my group and share my lifestyle

Hit the road and make change wit'
We travel and make money together

And not them other niggas, who just lane switch
I'm not referring to those who switch sides and alliances frequently

Now they wanna claim shit, cause its money in our language
Now they want to be associated with us because we are financially successful

Ah! Kumbaya, kumbaya
Referencing the song 'Kumbaya,' implying unity and peace

Tell me its do or die
Inform me that it's crucial and a matter of life or death

You know I do enough and so don't that I do or lie
You are aware that I consistently do what needs to be done and never deceive

You know I'm true enough, [?] I blew it up
You acknowledge that I am genuine and authentic, and I have achieved great success

If you ain't from here, then who is you to
If you don't belong to this place, why should I listen to you?

Know that we keep it notch
Understand that we keep our level of performance and quality high

Wait - let me slow it down some
Hold on, allow me to decrease the speed and intensity

Lookin' for some real niggas, then you found some
If you're searching for authentic individuals, you have discovered them

Lookin' for a great nigga, well you found one
If you're seeking an exceptional person, you have indeed found one

Pound one, recognize a real nigga when you round some
Give me a fist bump to acknowledge a genuine person when you come across one

Pussy, like a tampon
Referring to women in a derogatory manner, comparing them to tampons

Know that I'm ballin' nigga, and one
Be aware that I am successful and skilled, and I score like in basketball

And the watch got karats nigga, Anwar
The watch I wear has diamonds, similar to Anwar's watch

And you niggas all see through, ant farms
And you guys are transparent and easily seen through, like ant farms

Know I'm a genius, man I know that you see it
Understand that I am highly intelligent, I am confident you can recognize it

If you got issues, then prove it
If you have problems or disagreements, present evidence to support your claims

But if you isn't then beat it
But if you aren't able to prove anything, then leave

Ya'll are all vegetarian, don't know what the beef is
You all avoid conflict and don't understand what true disagreement or tension is

You got problem, let see 'em
If you have an issue, show me and let's confront it

If you doesn't, then beat it
If you don't have any issues, then leave

Uh, takihiro number 9, the soloist
I, Takihiro, am number 9 and a skilled solo artist

But I'm not solo, bitch
But I am not alone, bitch

Cause if you know me, know I'm all about the gang ho
If you are familiar with me, you know I prioritize my crew

Two-9 what I bang, yo
I proudly associate myself with Two-9, that's what I represent

And nothin' that you ever say or do about the shit I say or do
Nothing you say or do will ever change my actions or words

Will never change, ho, lames tho
It will never alter my behavior, despite you being a lame

Always comin' at me 'bout some thangs tho'
You constantly criticize and confront me about various matters

But I'll never stop until I parallel that Range Rov'
I will persist until I achieve the same level of success as someone driving a Range Rover

Never cared about no fuckin' fame, ho
I have never been concerned or driven by fame, regardless of your opinion

Cause all these thirsty bitches want is the fruit of my looms
These desperate women only desire material possessions from me

Get out my Hanes ho
Get out of my underwear, leave me alone

I'm just sayin', I'm sayin'
I am just expressing my thoughts and opinions

I feel like this day out and day in
I consistently feel this way day in and day out

No I do not want to date
No, I am not interested in being in a romantic relationship

And you fakin' them lines you throw at me like Peyton
You are pretending and not being genuine with the lines you use to approach me, similar to Peyton Manning

Some say I'm [?], I do not feel like waitin'
Some people claim I am impatient, but I don't personally feel that way

This pain in the picture I'm paintin'
The agony and suffering I am expressing in my artwork

These facts that I'm statin', the game that I came in
These are the truths I am declaring, the industry I entered

You can't ever change it, it's tainted
You can never alter it, it is corrupted

Ain't it, ain't it, boy, ain't it
Isn't it true, boy, isn't it?
