Armed✦ and dangerous,✦ ain't too many✦ can bang with us
Straight up weed, no angel✦ dust, label✦ us notorious✦
Thug-ass niggas✦ that love to bust, it's strange to us
Y'all niggas✦ be scramblin',✦ gamblin'✦
Up in restaurants with mandolins✦ and violins✦
We just sittin'✦ here tryin' to win, tryin' not to sin
High off weed and lots of gin
So much smoke need oxygen,✦ steadily countin' them Benjamins
Nigga,✦ you should too if you knew what this game'll✦ do to you
Been in this shit since '92
Look at all the bullshit I been through
So-called beef with you-know-who
Fucked✦ a few female✦ stars or two
Then a blue light, niggas✦ move like Mike, shit
Not to be fucked✦ with
Motherfucker✦ better✦ duck quick
'Cause me and my dawgs love to buck shit
Fuck the luck shit, strictly aim
No aspirations✦ to quit the game
Spit yo' game, talk yo' shit
Grab yo' gat, call yo' clique
Squeeze yo' clip, hit the right one
Pass that weed, I gots to light one
All them niggas✦ I got to fight one
All them hoes I got to like one
Our situation is a tight one
What you gon' do? Fight or run?
Seems to me that you'll take B
Bone and B.I.G., nigga✦ die slowly✦
I'ma✦ tell you like a nigga✦ told me
"Cash rule everything around✦ me"
Shit, lyrically,✦ niggas✦ can't see me
Fuck it, buy the coke, cook the coke, cut it
Know the bitch 'fore you caught yourself lovin'✦ it
Nigga✦ with a Benz fuckin'✦ it
Doesn't it seem odd to you?
B.I.G. come through with mobs and crews
Goodfellas down to the Mo Thugs dudes✦
Who's the killa,✦ me or you?
Seven✦ A.M. Woke in the mornin'✦
With Hen' and caffeine✦ and green and nicotine✦
No dough so pop a couple of those
Lil' RIPsta,✦ nigga✦ Mista✦ Clean
Make it gleam, deep in my temple and not to get
Sentimentally✦ steamed, wit' my
Instrumelody✦ and heated✦ especially✦ for your team
And a .45 indeed✦ will beam
In between✦ the scenes✦ destroy your dreams
You willin'✦ to die? We'll see
How many✦ flee when I cause the scene?
We mean mug, Mo Thugs
Trained to be perfect disciples
When it's survival, tongue is a double-edged sword
Triple, six rivals spittin' fire
This the real truth, bitch, breakin' out for lies
My Messiahs better✦ get ready✦ for Armageddon, shit's expired
It's wild, bless the child, the one that became✦ a man
Put in positions✦ off in the Clair
All that I had to do was stare
Test me now contender,✦ never✦ no surrender,✦ no pretend
Pick up my pen in my hand
One of my trusted friend friend, hey
Open✦ the last seal for real, we all suited✦
Beg my pardon✦ to Martin✦
Baby,✦ we ain't marchin', we shootin'
In daily✦ recruitin', there's✦ a thug born every✦ day in the ghetto✦
We start 'em off little and give them a bottle
And a pen and a pad to hit the label,✦ kick it, nigga✦
Nigga✦ roll with Bone up into✦ the thug spot
To the dome wit' a shot of Bird
Never✦ get tossed✦ to the curb
Be feelin'✦ that urge to splurge
But I'm broke as fuck, Sin, gimme that Mossberg swerve
Up into✦ my bag 'cause I gotta✦ get my mask and shells
To put in this 12 gauge sawed-off✦
Get 'em hauled✦ off, nigga✦ y'all loss
Take it all off, got a nigga✦ car door
For the pump now Leatherface, Sin runnin'✦ thuggin'✦ and cuttin'✦
Little Mo Hart want to pull it ain't nothin'✦
Bitch, if you steppin' we buckin'✦ them guns that's fucked✦ up
Now let me get down for the grind
Gotta✦ go purchase a dime
Put in a state to get down for the crime
Smokin'✦ the reefer✦ to ease my mind
Swig some wine, step on the block with the rocks
But really✦ be servin'✦ them dummies, see?
Gotta✦ buck him on down if he come back talkin'✦ like
"Give me back me money"✦
Thuggin'✦ with me killers
Need us a litre of liquor✦ but niggas✦ ain't got shit
But a sawed-off✦ pump, chrome .38 pistol, now who ready✦ to get bent?
Nigga✦ like me fiendin' for them green leaves✦ but I ain't had no dough
Gotta✦ make some money,✦ so I'm makin'✦ my dummy✦ rocks if I go broke
It's Bone and Biggie Biggie
It's Bone and Biggie Biggie (we gon' rock the party)✦
It's Bone and Biggie Biggie
It's Bone and Biggie Biggie (rock the party,✦ party)✦
It's Bone and Biggie Biggie
It's Bone and Biggie Biggie (better✦ run and tell everybody)✦
It's Bone and Biggie Biggie
It's Bone and Biggie Biggie (everybody,✦ everybody)✦
Ride, let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Get high, get high, get high (c'mon, c'mon)
Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Get high, get high, get high (c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
Yeah, Little Lay, hey, comin'✦ in the form of scripture
Finna✦ get you and hit you with magic
Droppin' down lead but I call it my gadgets
With an automatic status, we spray
Time to load the Glocks, but I'm thinkin' not
There's✦ another evil✦ force tellin'✦ me to do what I gotta✦ do
So I up my pipe, a nigga✦ dyin' tonight
And I'm always✦ runnin'✦ from the boys in blue
Biggie, blue's on my ass
Now I pull out the cellular phone to call Bone, "What's happenin'?"
Grab artillery, a nigga✦ start packin'✦
'Cause a motherfucker✦ tried to get me in a jackin'✦
And I did him, hit him right between✦ the eyes, the spot was wise
wanna✦ test a nigga✦ size and it cost him
Nigga✦ fuck around✦ with the wrong shit
Y'all get Mo murdered all day (all day)
We done paved✦ the way and I'm on the run
I'ma✦ call my boys and bring all the guns
Y'all niggas✦ wanna✦ have a little fun with number✦ one, one?
Bloody✦ red, red, rum, rum, rum, rum, rum, rum
Bloody✦ red, red, rum, rum, rum, rum, rum, rum
Bloody✦ red, red, rum
