Generate meaning
1
These niggas ain't thugs, the real thugs is the government
2
Don't matter if you independent, democrat or republican
3
Niggas politickin the street, get into beef
4
Start blastin, now a new cat is executive chief
5
With a, passion for heat you get, blast in yo' seat
6
Die before you crash in yo' Jeep, never passion in your sleep
7
Like an old man, you ain't a fool you got a whole plan
8
To conquer territories like Europeans who stole land
9
The future of your whole fam' hang in the balance
10
You the king, and your block is the palace
11
Y'all niggas is the parliament, untouchable, spot unrushable
12
Keep your weight wet, call in collect to save a buck or two
13
Get mad, who the fuck are you? What you gonna do?
14
Exactly what I thought, NOTHIN, in the sport of frontin
15
You the undisputed champion, I'm in a class you can't be in
16
My words is flesh like Jesus, the aquarian
17
It's just a chapter of the night, in the ghetto afterlife
18
Where you just seen or heard about or gonna have to fight
19
Where they sacrifice the life and niggas see flashes of light
20
When you trapped up in the heights but clappers aimin at the wife
21
Yeah, dudes gettin money is still thuggin
22
Chicks gettin money is still ghetto
23
Still livin the whole thuggish stilleto
24
Your team let the metal burst before you take an L
25
You raised in hell, let the dust settle first
26
Then you ask the question, snatchin the life of the innocent
27
Shit happens huh, a man's respected by his actions
28
It's the karma of the street, you try to meet the karma
29
While the karma sleep, yo it's deep, but the karma can't be beat
30
You don't know your enemy, so you fightin with yourself
31
Relate to rap niggas cause they writin what you felt
32
You got top shelf connects you gettin seasoned like a veteran
33
We suck the venom out the snake bite, without the medicine
34
We benefit from niggas in tenements, dyin for benjamins
35
So bad that they know they own coffin measurements
36
Ghetto eloquence, in the moment of truth, don't be hesistant
37
Or fall victim to the element, word is bond
38
Just another chapter of the night, in the ghetto afterlife
39
Where you just seen or heard about or gonna have to fight
40
Where they sacrifice the life and niggas see flashes of light
41
When you trapped up in the heights but clappers aimin at the wife
