[Verse 2]
Gangland✦ shit
Fuck around, get gangland✦ hit
I'ma✦ catch a little bitch while he's chillin' with his clique
Nigga,✦ where the whole gang at, bitch?
Where the watch and the chain at, bitch?
Set 'em up, yeah, I drained that bitch
I was fuckin'✦ in the A for like four days straight
But a nigga✦ never claim that bitch
I be talkin'✦ that shit like I'm bulletproof
Fuck a DM, I'm sendin'✦ them killers through
I be fuckin'✦ with the Gs, Crips, Bloods, BDs
Man, this shit get political✦
Hit the jar and I'm whippin' a miracle
Get the spoon and I'm scrapin' the residue
Man, I shop with Colombianos✦ and the Mexicanos✦
Man, this shit get political✦
Rock it up then blade that shit
Dog food, nigga,✦ slang that shit
Niggas✦ shot at me and miss with the whole damn clip
Yeah, the bitch couldn't aim that shit
A nigga✦ might get gangland✦ hit
That east side insane-ass shit
Niggas✦ shot at me and miss with the whole damn clip
Yeah, the bitch couldn't aim that shit, fuck nigga✦
[Chorus]
Microphone✦ check, one, two, mic checka✦
Still pack that bladadah,✦ Subhan'Allah,✦ I pray to Mecca✦
All this gang shit in my vein, I got the rank, I got the blessin'✦
Take some extras✦ out the brick, we press a brick, it ain't no pressure,✦ yessir✦
Microphone✦ check, one, two, mic checka✦
Still pack that bladadah,✦ Subhan'Allah,✦ I pray to Mecca✦
All this gang shit in my vein, I got the rank, I got the blessin'✦
Take some extras✦ out the brick, we press a brick, it ain't no pressure,✦ yessir✦
[Outro: Biz Markie]
Yo, yo, I'd just like to say, you know
My man Kane smoked him, you know?
But it's good to be original when you diss somebody✦
Don't use somebody✦ else's✦ shit
[Interlude: Gil Scott-Heron]
The thing that's going to change people
It's something✦ that no one will be able to capture✦ on film
It'll just be something✦ that you see and all of a sudden✦ you realize
"I'm on the wrong page"
Or, "I'm on the right page but I'm on the wrong note
And I've got to get in sync with everyone✦ else to understand what's happening in this country"
