Everybody on, the block be, runnin'
Weezy Wayne, Hot Boy, I, be, thuggin'
Got, them, things, ten a ki, hustlin'
And my prices stay low, I keep, it, there
And if you want it raw, I got, it, right, here
And if you want war, I am, your, nightmare
This is all I know, it's bang bang

My sell is ten a ki
I usually get in beef
Was taught that it's him or me

And always, bustin' gats

Slash a buster like a fraction

Standin' on the corner with one sleeve over my shoulder
Ride on your block, I see a dozen of weak jerks
Now it's time for your momma ta order a dozen of t-shirts
For only half-a brick

And I ain't gon' stop shootin' 'til I jam tha clip
Yeah, I'm a small creeper, what
But it's about ta get ugly
Y'all better call people up
I'm about ta start shovin' my sawed-off between your guts

Walked with my head down like a stranger, and banged ya

Some of y'all be feminine
Bounce in with a twitch
Leave 'em crawlin' out a ditch
God damn, son of a shh! Don't speak
