Makaveli in this
Killuminati, all through your body
The blow’s like a twelve gauge shotty
Feel me! (Come with me, Hail Mary nigga)
And God said he should send his one begotten son (Hail Mary nigga, run quick see)
To lead the wild into the ways of the man (what do we have here, now)
(Do you want to ride or die) Follow me (La dadada, la la la la)
Eat my flesh, flesh and my flesh
Come with me
Hail Mary nigga run quick see
What do we have here now
Do you want to ride or die
La dadada, la la la la
I ain’t a killer, but don’t push me
Revenge is like the sweetest joy next to getting pussy
Picture paragraphs unloaded, wise words being quoted
Peeped the weakness in the rap game and sewed it
Bow down, pray to God, hoping that he’s listening
Seeing niggas coming for me, through my diamonds, when they glistening
Now pay attention, bless me please Father, I’m a ghost
In these killing fields, Hail Mary, catch me if I go
Let’s go deep inside the solitary mind of a madman
Screams, in the dark, evil lurks
Enemies, see me flee
Activate my hate, let it break to the flame
Set trip, empty out my clip, never stop to aim
Some say the game is all corrupt and fucked in this shit
Stuck, niggas is lucky if we bust out this shit, and plus
Mama told me never stop until I bust a nut
F*ck the world if they can’t adjust
It’s just as well, Hail Mary
Come with me
Hail Mary nigga run quick see
What do we have here now
Do you want to ride or die
La dadada, la la la la
Come with me
Hail Mary nigga run quick see
What do we have here now
Do you want to ride or die
La dadada, la la la la
Penitentiaries is packed with promise-makers
Never realize the precious time that bitch niggas is wasting
Instutionalized, I live my life a product made to crumble
But too hardened for a smile, we’re too crazy to be humble
We ballin’ catch me father please, cause I’m fallin’
In the liquor store pass the Hennessy I hear ya callin’
Can I get some more?
Hell, ’til I reach hell, I ain’t scared
Mama checking in my bedroom, I ain’t there
I got a head with no screws in it, what can I do?
One life to live but I got nothing to lose
Just me and you on a one way trip to prison
Selling drugs, we all wrapped up in this living life as thugs
To my homeboys in Clinton Max doing their bid
Raise hell to this real shit and feel this
When they turn out the lights, I’ll be there in the dark
Thugging eternal through my heartnow Hail Mary nigga
Come with me
Hail Mary nigga run quick see
What do we have here now
Do you want to ride or die
La dadada, la la la la
Come with me
Hail Mary nigga run quick see
What do we have here now
Do you want to ride or die
La dadada, la la la la
They got a APB out on my thug family
Since the Outlawz run these streets like these scandalous freaks
Our enemies die now, walk around half dead
Head down, K-blasted off of Hennessy and Thai
Chronic, mixed in, now I’m twisted, blistered and high
Visions of me, thug-living, getting me by
Forever live, and I multiply, survived by thugs
When I die they won’t cry unless they coming with slugs
Peep the whole scene and whatever’s going on around me
Brain kind of cloudy, smoked out, feeling rowdy
Ready to wet the party up, and whoever and that mothafucka
Nasty new street slugger, my heat seeks suckers
On the regular, mashing in a stolen Black Ac’ Integra
Cocked back, 60 seconds til the draw that’s when I’m deadin’ ya feet first
You’ve got a nice Gat but my heat’s worse
From a thug to preaching church, I gave you love, now you eating dirt
Needing work and I ain’t the nigga to put you on
‘Cause word is bond, when I was broke I had to hustle ’til dawn
That’s when sun came up, there’s only one way up
Hold your head and stay up to all my niggas, get your pay and weight up
If it’s on then it’s on, we break beat-breaks
Outlawz on a paper chase, can you relate?
To this shit I don’t got be the shit I gotta take
Dealing with fate, hoping God don’t close the gate
If it’s on then it’s on, we break beat-breaks
Outlawz on a paper chase, can you relate?
To this shit I don’t got be the shit I gotta take
Dealing with fate, hoping God don’t close the gate
Come with me
Hail Mary nigga run quick see
What do we have here now (We’ve been traveling on this weary road)
Do you want to ride or die
La dadada, la la la la (Sometimes life can take a heavy load)
Come with me (But we ride, ride it like a bullet)
Hail Mary nigga run quick see (Hail Mary, Hail Mary)
What do we have here now (We won’t worry, everything well curry)
Do you want to ride or die
La dadada, la la la la (Free like the bird in the tree)
Come with me (We won’t worry, everything well curry)
Hail Mary nigga run quick see (Yes we free like the bird in the tree)
What do we have here now (We running from the penitentiary)
Do you want to ride or die (This is the time for we liberty, Hail Mary)
La dadada, la la la la (Hail Mary)
Come with me
Hail Mary nigga run quick see
What do we have here now
Do you want to ride or die
La dadada, la la la la
