1
Stick up kids is out to tax (x2)
2
And this is how the story goes
3
Brothers are amused by others brother's reps
4
But the thing they know best is where the gun is kept
5
'Cause in the night, you'll feel fright
6
And at the sight of a 4-5th, I guess you just might
7
Wanna do a dance or two
8
'Cause they could maybe bust you for self or wit a crew
9
No matter is you or your brother's a star
10
He could pop you in and jet without a getaway car
11
And some might say that he's a dummy
12
But he's sticking you and taking all of your money
13
It's a daily operation
14
He might be loose in the park or lurking at the train station
15
Mad brothers know his name
16
So he thinks he got a little fame
17
From the stick-up game
18
And while we're blaming society
19
He's at a party with his man
20
They got their eye on the gold chain
21
That the next man's wearing
22
It looks big but they ain't staring
23
Just thinking of a way and when to get the brother
24
They'll be long gone before the kid recovers
25
And back around the way, he'll have the chain on his neck
26
Claimin' respect, Just to get a rep
27
Ten brothers in a circle
28
Had the kid trapped, the one wit the hood, he said, "We'll hurt you"
29
If you don't run out your dues and pay
30
Give up the Rolex watch or you won't see another day
31
See, they were on the attack
32
And one said, "Yo, you wanna make this to a homicide rap?
33
Make it fast so we can be on our way
34
Kick in the rings and everything, ok?"
35
The kid was nervous and flinching
36
And little shorty with the 3-8, yo, he was inchin
37
Closer and closer, put the gun to his head
38
Shorty was down to catch a body instead
39
Money was scared so he panicked
40
Took off his link and his rings and ran frantic
41
But shorty said, "Now" pulled the trigger and stepped
42
It was nothing, he did it just to get a rep
43
The rep goes bigger and now hes known for his trigger finger
44
Rolling with troops of the sons like a gangster figure
45
Hes near the peak of his crazy career
46
His posse's a nightmare macking jewls and some crazy gear
47
but as we know these things do come back
48
and shortys now peeping others that are scheming the kind of act
49
Cuz the kid that got shot didnt perish so
50
He pulls up in a jeep with tinted window
51
Too late shorty was caught in the mix
52
His time ran out his number came up and thats it
53
Ya know the rest so dont front the plan has been upset
54
Some brothers gotta go out, just to get a rep
