[Hook x2]
Yo, you gotta✦ go, you gotta✦ go, you gotta✦ go
(And aiyyo, what you don't know, believe✦ the ghetto✦ knows)
[Verse 2: Kool G Rap]
Today's✦ headlines, another✦ nigga✦ dead
Six to the body✦ and fo' to the head
Followed the red bitch in the bed full of lead
A drug-related case and now the place is filled✦ with Feds
Ramshacked the shack, disclouse✦ 'bout two kilos✦ of dope
Two ounces✦ of coke's✦ caught in the pocket✦ of his coat
So, another✦ brother✦ caught the ultimate✦ surprise
With blown out brains, to drop stains on his eyes
Dazed✦ as I sit back and watch the Channel 2 news
Watchin' his family✦ goin' through all the boo-hoos
You lose, like an Ill Street, the Blues are gettin'✦ deeper✦
Nothin'✦ left in the room except for him, the Grim Reaper✦
Police✦ will take a few snapshots, scoop up some blooddrops
Pull out a file on a juvenile child of mugshots
The cops knew he fell victim✦ to laws on the street
So they just, pull out the white sheets, to cover✦ up the dead meat
Seal off the area✦ with yellow✦ tape, draw the white
Chalk around✦ the body✦ now the party✦ has to motivate✦
One more outlaw,✦ was murdered on the scene for the green
Died at the age of seventeen✦
[Hook x2]
Yo, you gotta✦ go, you gotta✦ go, you gotta✦ go
(And aiyyo, what you don't know, believe✦ the ghetto✦ knows)
[Verse 3: Kool G Rap]
Strollin' the concrete, packin'✦ my heat, walkin'✦ the backstreets✦
I seen niggas✦ pull up, peepin'✦ me out the side a black Jeep
Six feet deep, that's where I'm goin' if I'm slippin'
Steady✦ cockin'✦ my shit 'cause I already got the clip in
Now who's the first nigga✦ to run up, here they come up
The block hardrocks with Glocks rollin'✦ holdin'✦ they guns up
I buck, I buck, and then I struck one in the chest
Nigga✦ shoulda wore a vest but now his ass is put to rest
But now I got three mo' niggas,✦ pullin'✦ triggers
Strays are ricochetin' off the bricks, zigga✦ zigga✦
But who got the biggest strap? Who's bustin'✦ bigger✦ caps?
My BOOM BOOM BOOMS against they PAP PAP PAPS
No haps, G Rap ain't goin' out like a sucker✦
I reloaded the shot and dropped another✦ motherfucker
Quick, I duck and shit to dodge the bullets comin'✦ at me
'Cause I won't be too happy✦ with a slug inside✦ my nappy✦
Two more niggas✦ left, they scared✦ to death, but I'm leary✦
Shit gets kinda✦ scary✦ when I got bulletholes near me
I went between✦ two cars, lettin'✦ off the quarter pound
I see another✦ body✦ fallin'✦ down to the ground
Quick I run up on him 'cause I don't think that he's dead
Standin' over✦ his ass I put two more inside✦ his head
That's three niggas✦ down, only✦ got one nigga✦ to go
I gots to send his ass to the gravedigger so
I lay low in the cut and wait for moneygrip to slip up
Nearly✦ shot my whole clip up, I got one more slug to rip up
Look over✦ by the GS, see his ass stickin' his head out
Boom, let the lead out, blew a piece of his brain dead out
The back of his head, now he's dead, because✦ he fell face down
Right on the motherfuckin' streets that he dwelled
[Hook x6]
Yo, you gotta✦ go, you gotta✦ go, you gotta✦ go
(And aiyyo, what you don't know, believe✦ the ghetto✦ knows)
