[Verse 2: Juvenile]
I was wrong for a lot of shit that I'mma✦ take to my grave
Continuously whippin' niggas✦ like a runaway slave
Must was meant for me to be thuggin'✦ - I stay in some beef
Baby✦ and Slim keep tellin'✦ me, "Juvenile, stay off them streets."
I can't help it - I draw attention;✦ they be fuckin'✦ with me
I'm hot in the ass and can't get enough of these streets
A lil' nigga✦ in the Rolls screamin', "Fuck the police!"✦
Peelin'✦ out in front the club, about✦ to duck to the east
Now play yourself,✦ you gon' find yourself✦ by yourself✦
In a nice place ducked✦ off with fucked✦ up health
I done been strucked and snuck, but never✦ fucked✦ and stuck
My life is four hundred✦ degrees, so I bust 'em up
Still stickin' to the g-code, Ree's, and B's
Quit drinkin', but I will smoke some weed indeed✦
All they understand is my project English
And if you don't like it, you can kiss my penis
[Chorus: B.G.]
We done hit you up, lit you up, twist you up (Ooohh!)
We done chopped✦ you up, popped✦ you up, boxed✦ you up (Ooohh!)
We done hit you up, lit you up, twist you up (Ooohh!)
We done chopped✦ you up, popped✦ you up, boxed✦ you up (Ooohh!)
We done hit you up, lit you up, twist you up (Ooohh!)
We done chopped✦ you up, popped✦ you up, boxed✦ you up (Ooohh!)
We done hit you up, lit you up, twist you up (Ooohh!)
We done chopped✦ you up, popped✦ you up, boxed✦ you up (Ooohh!)
[Verse 3: B.G.]
I run the streets cause I'm real if it's daylight or dark
You a killer,✦ nigga?✦ (Eah?) Ain't no fear in my heart
I'll go toe to toe with ya or take ya to war
I'll even✦ go K for K with ya - now make your choice
Better✦ know when I'm in beef that I be creepin', nigga✦
Better✦ know that I'm a snake, and I'mma✦ sneak ya, nigga✦
Each time I hit the corner,✦ I be leavin'✦ niggas✦
Momma✦ upset✦ - can't even✦ go on and grievin', nigga✦
Nothin'✦ change - I'm on TV, I don't play with you niggas✦
Still the same that'll spin broad day on you niggas✦
And empty✦ a hundred✦ out that K
Where you're caught hangin'✦ is where you're left stankin', ya heard me
I've been in the game - niggas✦ know what I'm 'bout
So many✦ murders under✦ my belt, I done lost count
If you wanna✦ be another number,✦ my nigga✦
Go ahead,✦ drop your nuts, and run up, my nigga✦
[Chorus: B.G.]
We done hit you up, lit you up, twist you up (Ooohh!)
We done chopped✦ you up, popped✦ you up, boxed✦ you up (Ooohh!)
Now, we done hit you up, lit you up, twist you up (Ooohh!)
Nigga,✦ we done chopped✦ you up, popped✦ you up, boxed✦ you up (Ooohh!)
Now, we done hit you up, lit you up, twist you up (Ooohh!)
And we done chopped✦ you up, popped✦ you up, boxed✦ you up (Ooohh!)
Look, we done hit you up, lit you up, twist you up (Whaa?)
Look, we done chopped✦ you up, popped✦ you up, boxed✦ you up (Ooohh!)
[Verse 4: Lil Wayne]
Hello,✦ world
I zip through fast in a yellow✦ pearl drop Porsche Boxter✦
Young mobster, wild and obnoxious
Pop some in your dreadlocks - What? Me not no rookie, boy
Glock cookin',✦ boy
I'll turn your forehead to a pussy,✦ boy
Off the gate, cousin,✦ you niggas✦ gon' make me stalk and spray somethin'✦
Spark or lace somethin'✦
Park the car, get out, walk, and spray somethin'✦
Taught to stay thuggin'✦ brought up in this shit that we call America
And in my hood the laws are scared✦ of us - we are too terrible
If I live to be old, it's a miracle
Cause the way a nigga✦ hatin'✦ or bitch plottin', the shit's hysterical
That's why I keep me two big guns on blast like a stereo✦
Come to your burial✦ and kill anybody else who care for you
Don't blame me, society changed me
You haul white, you smash powder✦ all night for the fast dollar✦
Cut off lights, we masked✦ riders
The hood trash got us in a position✦ we can't shake
With bars we can't break, and due to that you ain't safe, bitch
[Chorus: B.G.]
We done hit you up, lit you up, twist you up (Ooohh!)
Now, we done chopped✦ you up, popped✦ you up, boxed✦ you up (Ooohh!)
Look, we done hit you up, lit you up, twist you up (Ooohh!)
Now, we done chopped✦ you up, popped✦ you up, boxed✦ you up, nigga✦ (Ooohh!)
(Did you see that?)
We hit you up, lit you up, twist you up (Ooohh!)
And we done chopped✦ you up, popped✦ you up, boxed✦ you up (Ooohh!)
(Did you see that?)
We done hit you up, lit you up, twist you up (Ooohh!)
Now, we done chopped✦ you up, popped✦ you up, boxed✦ you up (Ooohh!)
Boy, look
We done hit you up, lit you up, twist you up (Ooohh!)
Now, we done chopped✦ you up, popped✦ you up, boxed✦ you up (Ooohh!)
Look, we done hit you up, lit you up, twist you up (Ooohh!)
Look, we done chopped✦ you up, popped✦ you up, boxed✦ you up (Ooohh!)
[Outro: B.G.]
Nigga✦ - we put holes✦ in you bitch-ass niggas,✦ ya heard me
We don't barrow✦ nothin',✦ don't fear nothin'✦
And ain't nothin'✦ you can do 'bout these (Hot! Hot! Hot!) Boy$, nigga✦
Let 'em burn, nigga✦
Let 'em burn, nigga✦
B.Geezy,✦ Lil Wheezy,✦ Juvy,✦ Two Tymer✦
