[Intro]
In '76 you know they stop fighting
n***as start shooting
You know it was something new to me
You know we use to fight all the time
The next minute I'm runnin from gunshots
So, the only thing I said to myself
Say man are we gonna start doing what they're doing
You know the same thing they do to us
We do to them
[?]...but you had to either do or die
Or stay in the house
You know fight or stay in the house
So I wasn't gon' stay in the house for nobody....
[Verse 1]
I ain't never really care about sh**
Soon as my father abandoned his kids
I was down for the problems
I promised my momma
I wasn't gonna die, so I got this revolver
Hammers will heal what a fist can't fix
Won't get down I'ma sent 'bout six
Ain't no questions, I'm wit' that sh**
On the highway to hell but it still ain't jail
Gotta plug and a scale, tryna make this money
Crooked a** police tryna take this from me
Either watch yo step, or you catch that weap
n***as take your life cause you ain't worth sh**
Tell my momma don't trust not a soul that she meet
9 times outta ten n***as just like me
Tryna come up off the next man
Hammer in my left hand
Voice from grandma yelling from the dead
[Hook]
She said just pray to sweet Lord Jesus
But he can't do sh**, when you bleeding
Still ain't got no food in that freezer
You gon' do whatever you need cause
God don't come when there's n***as at the door
Shimmy shimmy ya, I'ma give to him raw
Roaches in the hallway, sleeping on the floor
Welcome to the land of the lost and destroyed
[Verse 2]
My brother Smalls, told a n***a focus on the money
But why try when they tryna take a n***a under
Spend a thousand every-time a n***a make a hundred
And they wonder why I'm wild when I'm out in public
Demons form in the presences of nothing but struggle
It's easy to hustle when knowing nobody love you
Ain't nothing to lose, this money to gain
f** playing by the rules, shoot him his brain
Life change when you take sh** by the reins
Sitting in the rain wit' a Glock nine
Waiting for the bus on Ximeno
I wish a b**h would roll by on some funny sh**
n***as know I got mines
Hard times make n***a face hard time in a cell
Never heard of Hell, only heard of home
Hardly ever there, sh**, I rather roam
Voice from grandma yelling from the dead
[Hook]
She said just pray to sweet Lord Jesus
But he can't do sh**, when you bleeding
Still ain't got no food in that freezer
You gon' do whatever you need cause
God don't come when there's n***as at the door
Shimmy shimmy ya, I'ma give to him raw
Roaches in the hallway,sleeping on the floor
Welcome to the land of the lost and destroyed
[Verse 3]
If 1st and 2nd Corinthians, could give a n***a spinnin rims
Or Christina Milian, I'd prolly give that sh** a chance
Coulda went the college route, but I choose the n***a plan
Broken heart sitting on my path, try and watch my step
God blessed the child with a gift then he turned his back
Told him choose his own way, guess I chose the wrong way
But it's only one way, either wit' the gunplay
Or you getting dumped on, n***a ain't a soul safe
I live my life as if a n***a could get k**ed tonight
n***as running at they mouth like they wanna die
I ain't the pa**ive n***a most would probably wanna try
In the land of the lost only the strong survive
Riding round wit' 4s under the seat
In a four door jeep that's 400 degrees
Looking for my enemies, they haunt me when I sleep
So any motherf**er that taunt me getting shot
