You better watch yo’ back, motherfuckers is grimy down here
You get stuck up, stabbed, shot the f*ck up ’round here
Son I move with my vest and my hammer, I don’t care
Niggas try and front on me and I blame ’em right here
You better watch yo’ back, niggas be on that bullshit down here
So I gotta move ’round with a full clip ’round here
Cause lil’ sneaky mo’fucka’s will pull shit ’round here
Next thing you know you wakin’ up
When I say I’ll lay a nigga down, I put that on my momma
Niggas gonna see it’s real when we get in the drama
I ain’t fightin’ with these faggots, I’ma back out the ‘Lama
And start lettin’ off until niggas is no longer problems
I watch the blood seep in the street, I’m swift with the heat
I hit a nigga quick, Know why? Niggas hit me
They call me 50, my AKA is two-gun-Charlie
Find me up at four in the mornin’ to catch me a body
Waitin’ for you in yo’ projects by your staircase door
Come out, come out, pussy, you can’t hide from a war
I get impatient then I’m bringin’ it to yo’ people
I ring the doorbell then I’m puttin’ one through your peephole
Boy it’s a no, no, to f*ck with me ’cause I’m not your equal
They say I’m loco, the pump will make your fuckin’ chest see-through
But on the low though I’ll show you how them hollow tips eat through,
Your legs, your back, your head and your hat
You better watch yo’ back, motherfuckers is grimy down here
You get stuck up, stabbed, shot the f*ck up ’round here
Son I move with my vest and my hammer, I don’t care
Niggas try and front on me and I blame ’em right here
You better watch yo’ back, niggas be on that bullshit down here
So I gotta move ’round with a full clip ’round here
Cause lil’ sneaky mo’fucka’s will pull shit ’round here
Next thing you know you wakin’ up
When I’m gunnin’ at yo’ ass with the chrome
Kid you runnin’ outta town like a boost mobile phone
Yeah, the tech jam but it really don’t shoot bad
I’ll turn yo’ head into a fishnet du-rag
I got bricks of that raw sittin’ in that rice, man
And a long fo’fo when I’m at the dice game
You won’t catch me slippin’ when I’m hittin’ them licks
I roll four, five, six with my hand on my shit
I’m a gangsta on point ready to flip
Fo’ you dummies, I got dumb dumb all in my clip
I got bundles of that D man I’m tryin’ to get paid
So I’m makin’ moves fast like my name was D. Wade
You better watch yo’ back, motherfuckers is grimy down here
You get stuck up, stabbed, shot the f*ck up ’round here
Son I move with my vest and my hammer, I don’t care
Niggas try and front on me and I blame ’em right here
You better watch yo’ back, niggas be on that bullshit down here
So I gotta move ’round with a full clip ’round here
Cause lil’ sneaky mo’fucka’s will pull shit ’round here
Next thing you know you wakin’ up
