Preach
Young Dolph feat. Jeezy & Rick Ross Lyrics

My uncle back there
I have a family member, my uncle, who is in prison.

Looking at all what he did
Reflecting on the actions and consequences that led to him being incarcerated.

Shorty got a minute
I am short on time.

A lot of traffic
There is a lot of activity in my area.

Time to get another mail box
I need to find another location to receive my mail.

Go to hell bud
I am angry at someone and wish them ill will.

Call the case and sell the brick
I am involved in illegal activity, and am discussing making a sale.

That's at the jail house
My illegal activity is associated with the place where my uncle is incarcerated.

Outside the jail house
I am involved in illegal activity near the prison where my uncle is incarcerated.

Gonna beat us
There are people who want to harm me and those around me.

You suckers won't even live
Those who wish to harm me will not survive.

We in the corner with the killers, hell yeah
I am surrounded by violent and ruthless individuals.

Honey nigga but all he had was one Glock
I encountered an opponent who appeared threatening but was only armed with a single firearm.

Gang signed and all I heard was gun shots
I was nearby or involved in a situation where gunfire was exchanged.

Now you wanna do the duck walk
You are now acting scared or intimidated.

10 Piece Shorty and I run the game
I am a major player in the illegal drug trade.

Double it to 200 things
I am discussing a large quantity of illegal drugs or money.

You should keep it real with your doubt
Be honest with yourself if you have reservations.

No matter what
This is always true, regardless of circumstances.

Preach
I am emphasizing the previous statement and assertiveness.

Sign the bitch
Have the woman sign a legal agreement to ensure she does not betray me.

So you know she set you up
It is important to have legal protection against betrayal, because it could happen.

Out here there's no such thing as love
In the criminal underworld, love and trust are not expected or common.

The only thing I trust
I only rely on something that can give me peace of mind.

Is these pills cause they give me shrug
I use prescription drugs to numb myself to the harsh realities of my life.

Only real shit
I will only engage with people who are honest and genuine.

If the nigga don't work
If someone is not actively contributing or working, especially in the illegal drug trade...

Then he a fucking leach
...they are a worthless burden.

I ain't got a shit for a nigga
I have nothing to give or offer to someone.

Nigga ain't nothing in this motherfucking world for you
This may be an encouragement to pursue illegal activity, because there are few legitimate options available that will provide for a decent life.

I don't fuck with this nigga
I do not associate or trust this individual.

Cause he's shady
I do not trust him because he is dishonest.

These bitches they just wanna have my baby
I am cautious around women because I fear being tricked into parenthood.

Born in the '80s ,crack babies
I am a product of the 'crack epidemic' that occurred in the United States in the 80s and 90s.

Momma she was in the streets
My mother was involved in illegal activity.

So guess who raised me?
As a result, my upbringing and upbringing shaped my behavior and outlook.

You motherfucking right
This is an assertion of confidence in a statement.

I couldn't get it from my momma
I was unable to learn positive values from my mother.

So I got it from the block
Instead, I learned criminal behaviors on the streets.

And I've been working my whole life
I have had to work extremely hard for everything I have achieved.

But I never punched a crunch
I have never resorted to violence or even physical confrontation to achieve my goals.

These years all I've seen was a nigga get shot down
I have witnessed immense violence and loss in my life.

Nigga qut their mouth when they get jammed
Individuals who were previously confident and talkative will become silent when confronted with legal trouble.

Pussy ass nigga tellin' to his whole fam
Some people will betray their family and friends to avoid punishment themselves.

Sorry nigga that you break your neck for
I am unapologetic for the hardships someone experiences after dedicating their life to illegal activity.

Be the same nigga that crashed you round and waited for you
Someone you trust can easily become your enemy and betray you.

Supposed to be chasing money
I am supposed to be focusing on making money.

But you're chasing bitches
Instead, I am wasting time and focus on women.

Real bosses don't talk
True leaders do not boast, they lead by example.

We just sit back and listen
Great leaders spend more time learning than speaking.

Stick that paper up and down
I am discussing storing, saving, and investing large sums of money.

Make bossy moves
I am focused on making power moves and decisions that will benefit me.

She likes to argue
I am referring to a particular woman who enjoys arguing or being difficult.

So I sent that bitch to Law School
I am sarcastically indicating that someone who likes to argue would be suited for a career in law.

I don't trust no nigga or bitch
I do not trust any individuals, regardless of gender.

Stick to the code, stay focused get rich
Stick to a predetermined set of morals and goals, stay disciplined, and accumulate wealth.

I'm about to make this Arm & Hammer with this holy water
I am about to mix cocaine with baking soda or other chemicals.

I'm talkin' 4 in a baby, guess the yayo had a daughter
I am referring to a measurement or quantity of illegal drugs and making a joke related to childbirth.

From the left to he show
From beginning to end or from start to finish.

I'm gonna cut the head off
I plan on defeating or subduing an opponent.

Go to the fake
I am going to a location with counterfeit or low-quality products.

I'll cut your bread off
I will cut off someone's source of income or livelihood.

Let me take a second
I need a moment to think.

And walk around in ...
To survey or examine a space.

If you're prayin' for my fall
If someone wishes for my failure or misfortune...

You deserve to see me ballin'
...they deserve to see me thriving and succeeding.

Keep your enemies close
It is important to maintain awareness of one's enemies and actions.

'til a nigga falls in love with a pussy
This phrase is somewhat unclear, but it appears that the artist is saying it is important to maintain vigilance and focus on one's goals, and not be distracted by women.

Nigga call me
Someone is trying to contact me.

I got no love for the pussy
I have no attachment or sentimentality towards women.

Green for the money
The color green is used as a symbol or shorthand for money.

My dog wants one thing
I have a close associate or friend who has a singular focus or goal.

First to pull up a hundred thousand
This person wants to quickly accumulate a large sum of money.

I'm sure judging
I am being scrutinized or criticized.
