Hello world, my name is not important

I'ma sit back and smoke, I might grab my guitar
Tyga is taking a laid-back approach, relaxing with smoking and playing guitar.

I got these bullets in the chamber
Tyga is armed and dangerous.

Don't make me let off a round

If my life's in danger

I'm gonna lay ya down, lay ya down

Your life's in my chamber

I ain't a killer but don't push me
Tyga is not naturally violent but he can be provoked.

Homie soft shit I'm in you niggas is pussy

Hard head, from a city where really you blue or all red

Like when it pop off better play dead

Same day catch me on some different shit

Life is kill or be killed, yeah

Yeah, so like I said

I like to floss so mama tell me be cautious

She know the cost, she tell me death ain't option

Too many lives lost, shootout on the boulevard
There have been many deaths in Tyga's neighborhood due to gun violence.

Guns drawn, pick a car, lucky me, I wasn't home

Damn, I hope it wasn't one of my homies dog

His family called, I ain't even hear my phone

Now I'm looking for revenge, swerving on this road

If I should die and never wake
Tyga is prepared to die for his cause.

I pray the lord take my soul
Tyga is spiritual and accepts the possibility of death.

Reporting live from the barrel
Tyga is speaking from his personal experience with gun violence.

2 tear drops under that eye on the Sparrow

I'm from the small place they call uptown

Where we lay you, where we lay you down

Like concrete in the driveway shoot sideways

Like O-Dog on Menace
Referring to a violent character in the movie 'Menace II Society'.

Leave you brains in yo' Tennis

I'm tha Renaissance man

So put me in the book and I got my pistol on the hook, sing'
