[Verse 1: Prodigy]
It's just another day, drowning my troubles with a forty
That's when I got the call from this brown skin shorty
She asked me where's my crew at, said we could do whatever
She got a crew too and said that we should get together
I said, "Aight, just call me back in a hour
So I can take a shower and gather up the manpower"
Then I hung up the horn
And I thought to myself that it might be on
Cause this trick ain't pick up the phone to call me in years (Why?)
Ever since I left the ho lonely in tears
Ain't no telling what her friends putting up in her ears
Ideas of setting me up I'm not trying to hear
(Check it out, Son) So we take the gats for precautions
Plus this trick live in Brooklyn, home of the coffin
She might got a whole batallion of Bucktowners
Waiting for us to get up off the train and surround us
Or maybe I'm blowing this sh** out of proportion
But this sh** do happen to n***as very often
So f** it, a n***a gotta do what he meant to
My crew got my back, f** the world is my mental
We put together five soldiers
The b**h called, my blood curdled
Told me to meet her on Myrtle
Got to the plaza, we're waiting for the G train
We put a plan together, just in case the beef came
Now we Bed Stuy bound
Far from home and on unknown ground
But together we six deep, with five heats, nothing sweet
First n***a fronting getting lifted off his f**ing feet
It took eternity, we reached our destination
My heartbeat is racing like a cardiac patient
We finally got to Myrtle outside the train station
I saw not a soul, told my peoples to be patient
But hold up, that's when a black caravan rolled up
My legs then froze up, I grabbed my pound
Told my man, "Eyes open cause it might go down"
Said he don't like the way the sh** is starting to sound
Evey angle of the car was smoked out and tinted
So we couldn't tell if the enemy was in it
It might have been TNT, I wasn't trying to wait and see, we
Jetted thru Marcy cause D's ain't bagging me
Word Son, they got us on the run, dun, see yo
[Hook]
Check it out, check it out, check it out, yo
Trife life got me thinking like an animal
No doubt, no doubt, no doubt, no doubt yo
What can k** you is what you don't know
[Verse 2: Havoc]
OK check it, you're on your way to your girl's crib
But the b**h live in the Bridge
You ain't really sweating it, cause little do you know
The n***as in the Bridge be setting it
You thought you was safe and tried to walk the back streets without heat
On the 41st Side of 12th Street
The side where n***as don't give a f**
The side where if you come through fronting, kid you getting bucked
On your way, to apartment 3A
With a phat herringbone, let him slide, no days
Son get the heat, cause I'm about to stick him
(f** that sh**, yo if that n***a front, yo hit him!)
Aight bet, so just hold it down
While I co*k back the long three pound
You're upstairs boning, not knowing that I'm scheming
Just the right time kid, it's twelve in the evening
You're leaving out the building as you kiss your girl goodbye
Thought you was safe and got caught by surprised
"What's goin on?", as I reply
"Shut the f** up and don't make this to another homicide"
He tried to play tough so I put one in his brain
Even though I took his life, all I wanted was his chain
Come through truck without heat, how you figure?
When you in the projects keep your fingers on the trigger
But f** that we're juxing, if you got what we like you gets tooken
Put you on your back, send you on your way, yo good looking
Now we catching a cab to Halsey & Lewis in Brooklyn
Getting tore up from the floor up, hit the dress store up
Got the 80-0 in case a n***a wanna roll up
Get your motherf**ing sh** swoll up
Now it's back to Queens to serve fiends
Making Cheese by any means, my eyes on my enemies
Sipping Hennessey, with my mind on some crime sh**
One-time searching me but never ever find sh**
It's the everyday, get the loot then breeze
Though my goal is to leave outta state, push ki's
But all this bullsh** holding me down, I can't leave
f** a 9-to-5, I get the loot with ease
Don't even need a degree to earn a six-digit figure
I get mines slinging on the corner with my n***as
Pulling the trigger when the drama appears
Cause a n***a worse enemy is fear
So yo....
[Hook]
