Welcome to tha section where it's hotter than a b**h
n***as breakin' up bricks, n***as tryin' ta be rich
Dope house get hit, on 'rilla & 6th
Somebody wig get split...for ten G's of chips
It's where the Feds'll dip through - enemies get you
Catch you at tha second line, n***as'll flip you
Kids get outta school, they swingin' they fists, too
Jump one of them children and they bringin' they clique, too
L.D. buckin' cause T.C. k**in' ain't nothin'
Tha blues try ta hit ya and you had to keep druggin'
On New Year's, tha lights get shut out at six o'clock
Four or five o'clock in tha mornin' you gon' be gettin' shot!
n***as gettin' chopped, gettin' shot in tha crowd, bruh
Drug deal gone bad, one of them cats was sour
Motherf**ers gettin' chopped up, every hour..
...Carbine aimed at your dome...for some powder
I'ma do like yella boy and hop in tha Eddie Bauer
Get off seventeen, and, n***a, I'mma holla!

Is ya ready for it? Better be over-prepared
When ya enter ya see a sign, say, "SOLDIERS BEWARE"
And they be ragged up, twenty-five dollar bagged up
Whole nickel tucked in tha back of his 'Baud cuffs
Well aware on the route that he's gonna duck...
...if somebody thinkin' 'bout jammin' him up
If a b**h with him, she better be smart, or tough luck
Cause he gon' break and bust; she gon' be f**ed up
Mind your business is a code, too, I never told...
...ever since a n***a was a minute years old
Bein' a ballin' shot caller...is tha goal
I'll hospitalize anybody...in the roll
To make it there, you talk crazy, we take it there
You'll feel like a steak, n***a: you medium-rare
All these n***as wan' be tip-rats or tha man in charge
With tha AK-47, it'll change you boys

Clique up, load up...pistols, mask
Ride through, slow down, jump out, blast
Put 'bout...fifty...in your...a**
Second...linin'...family...scared
Go score, rock it, chop it, serve it
Got a...deal for...fifty, twerk it
Mission: riches, hittin'...switches
Twenty...inches, plenty...b**hes
All day, hustle - beaucoup...scuffle
n***as...huddle, AK...muffled
Blood in...puddles, people...scatter
Flying...pieces...of human...matter
Police...don't know - probly...won't know
Unless...it's they...sh**, they...don't know
Keep it...quiet, tell no...body
Start no...sh** and...stay in...silence
Maintain...focus, stay off...porches
Watch for...roaches, carry...toasters
