That "should've, could've, would've" - ain't mixed up in my vocabulary I do it, gotta, get it, cause I know God ain't got no time to spare me The load get hard, to carry is hard, to bury, one of my dogs (dogs) I'ma do what's necessary, the sh** gets scary when you take that fall I'ma be prepared, for whatever come my way (my way) If it's d**h today I'm ready, y'all gon' respect Lil' Lay (Lil' Lay) I'ma make this pay, and my kids gon' have what they need While they wanna put they gossip on me I'm movin at God's speed [Chorus: Young Noble] + (Layzie) Young n***a it's time to man up (put it down) stand up (hold it down) What goes around (comes around) if you ain't know (you know it now) Be about it (all the time) me and mine (on the grind) With no ice (we all shine) clock tickin on God's time Man up (put it down) stand up (hold it down) What goes around (comes around) if you ain't know (you know it now) Be about it (all the time) me and mine (on the grind) With no ice (we all shine) the clock tickin on God's time [Young Noble] Now come back in the days, sh** when b**hes sported finger waves Them older n***as rock leather or they rock suede Quarter villes in Sherlin{?}, sheep skins and eightballs Hustlin, guzzlin eightball We caught a cab or we caught the train And we respected all the ol' heads spittin that game Sendin lil' n***as to the store, for some rubber bands and Newports Plus razors, now they choppin raw We used to run through the streets bumpin B.D.P Kool G., and Public Enemy Now I'm a public enemy, still we Outlaw soldiers We pay respect to them ol' heads that came befo' us They blast first, no warnin stuck on the corner I live life high speed; slightly disillusioned by weed I breed thug motherf**ers even worse than me It's Outlaw for life, this sh** is all we need [Chorus] [Layzie Bone] n***a in my hood it's cutthroat, too grimy is the way they livin Whinos and them dopefiends keep on occupyin them abandoned buildings Smokin, in the alleyway across from where the children play Bullets ain't got no names on them, but they flyin around the stray I can show you better than I can tell you that's why I'm leadin by example If you with me n***a you with me, all that other bullsh** is cancelled It's the Bone and the 'Lawz, we playin for keeps off in these days And ain't, movin with amazin grace through the dark tryin to find our way [Young Noble] Livin in the fast life, tryin to get my cash right I had a ball last night, everything gon' be all right Young O.G. with stripes, n***a I done paid the price Wrong tryin to make it right, in order to try and save a life Through the dark sheddin light, it's from my heart to the mic From the start I sacrificed, rushin to my afterlife Prayin then I roll the dice, homie I know what it's like Out of mind, out of sight, the clock tickin on God's time [Chorus] ... [Chorus]
