The streets come alive and laugh at your sorrows Leavin' your soul hollow That you fill it back up liquor bottles Black Messiah had the jux, 20 ki's uncooked Easy to push, some Japanese dealers were crooks They leave n***as eyes cut out; what it means to us He seen too much, but we don't give a f** Black truck pull up to the door Infa-green night vision lens we can see through the war "Get on the floor" [Hook: Akon] We back now A bunch of gangsters strapped so make a way now When they come wavin' them gats you know the lay down And give 'em all you got, cause it's a shakedown Uh-oh-oh Do I make myself clear, uh-oh-oh
