(Chorus:✦ Ice-T)✦
There's✦ no innocence✦ allowed✦ in these ghetto✦ streets
Grab your guns, buck 'em off, when ya hit ya leak
Tell me what would you do if they killed✦ your best friend?
Could you keep your cool, would the wounds mend?
If I said "peace", I'll be a motherfuckin'✦ liar
("I'm lettin'✦ off until✦ my arms tired"✦ - cut and scratched*)Retaliation✦
(Ice-T)✦
Been packin'✦ straps so long
I gots some permanent bruise in my leg
Better✦ that than dead
Now it's time to show you what I'm trained for in this
Rally✦ up the wolfpack-attack relentless
Make ya understand it was the wrong crew ya fuck with
Now it's on bitches, guys are darker✦ than shit
You musta✦ not a known who you fuckin'✦ hit that day
Or maybe you did, you're dyin' anyway✦
And not just you, some of your family✦
To tell you the truth any✦ fuckin'✦ body✦ we see
You might just wanna✦ turn yourself into✦ me
To save your hood pain of my crews' treachery
You fucked✦ up, we know who you are, where ya live
We got your place ran up to a cop on the take
We'll hit your block so hard, you'll swear it was an earthquake
Squeeze off the fully-auto, make your whole crib shake
I know you're breathin' hard, livin'✦ on your last day
Or maybe, you're laughin', thinkin' that you got away✦
I don't give a fuck, I won't sleep
Till one of us lays me and my nigga✦
That's the fear of these triggers
If ya smart, ya probably make a break out of state
We'll just snatch your kid, grab your fuckin'✦ bitch and wait
I'll catch ya down South, lay your ass out straight
There's✦ no where to run, it's time to meet your make
You got one chance, arm your whole damn crew
I couldn't stop my fuckin'✦ niggas if I wanted✦ to
(Chorus:✦ Ice-T)✦
There's✦ no innocence✦ allowed✦ in these ghetto✦ streets
Grab your guns, buck 'em off, when ya hit your leak
Tell me what would you do if they killed✦ your best friend?
Could you keep your cool, would the wounds mend?
If I said "peace", I'll be a motherfuckin'✦ liar
("I'm lettin'✦ off until✦ my arms tired"✦ - *cut and scratched*)✦
