And then my motherfuckin niggaz started snitchin
10
[Jay-Z] Uh-huh, uh uh, yo
11
[$hort] Beyotch!
12
[Verse One: Jay-Z]
13
Growin up in the hood just my dog and me
14
We used to hustle in the hood for, all to see
15
Problems, I called on him, he called on me
16
We wasn't quite partners, I hit him off my P
17
Met him unlocked doors, off my keys
18
Yeah we spoke, much more than cordially
19
Man he broke bread with me, my business spreads with me
20
The Feds came to get me, we both fled quickly
21
Wasn't quick enough to jump over the hedges with me
22
Got caught, and that's when our relationship strayed
23
Used to call me from the joint til he ran out of change
24
And when he called collect and I heard his name
25
I quickly accepted, but when I reached the phone
26
He's talkin reckless, I can sense deceit in his tone
27
I said, "Damn dawg, what, nine weeks and you're home?"
28
He said, "Main man, you think shit's sweet cause you're home."
29
I just sat, spat no more speech in the phone
30
The crackers up there bleachin your dome, you're reachin
31
I said, "The world don't stop I've got to keep keep on."
32
From there I sensed the beef was on
33
I ran to the spot, store to add some more features to my phone
34
To see if I had bugs and leeches on my phone
35
Can't be too safe cause niggaz is two-faced
36
And they show the other side when they catch a new case
37
It's on
38
[Chorus: Too $hort, Jay-Z]
39
It was cool when you had hella weed to smoke
40
And you bought a new home where you could keep the folks
41
I don't see how this side of you could be provoked
42
(Uh-huh, uh-huh, it was all good just a week ago)
43
Funny what, seven days can change
44
A stand up nigga, now you sit down to aim
45
Used to have a firm grip now you droppin names
46
Uh-huh, uh-huh (It was all good just a week ago)
47
[Verse Two: Jay-Z]
48
Like I put the toast to your head and made you sell
49
We both came in this game, blind as hell
50
I did a little better, had more clientele
51
Told you put away some cheddar now you cryin for bail
52
Seventeen and I'm holdin on to around a mill
53
I could bail out and blow trial and come around on the pill
54
Had niggaz thinkin I was from Uptown for real
55
I had so much hustle plus I was down to ill
56
Like a Brooklyn nigga, straight out of Brownsville
57
Down and dirty, down to fight the round thirty
58
Freezin on them corners still holdin my crack
59
Lookin up and down the block, the fuck is the dough at?
60
Came from flat broke to lettin the dough stack
61
You tell them feds I said I'm never goin back
62
I'm from Marcy, and Marcy don't raise no rats
63
You know the consequences of your acts, you can't be serious
64
[Chorus:]
65
[Verse Three: Jay-Z]
66
The lawyer I retained you said you leakin some things
67
All this after a week in the bang
68
I'm mad at myself cause I didn't spot the weak and lame
69
I woulda bet the house you wouldn't speak a thang
70
Nigga this was the oath, to the top of broke
71
Even pricked our finger, anything that got between us
72
We sposed to c*** the ninas, what happened to that?
73
Instead you copped out to a misdemeanor
74
Fuck it, the same thing make you laugh make you cry
75
That's right, the same game that make you mad could make you die
76
It's a dice game, and sometimes you crap
77
Who woulda thought you'd get popped one time and rap?
78
Now you know that's bad when your sister is mad
79
And your son gotta grow up like, "This is my dad?"
80
The labelling of a snitch is a lifetime scar
81
You'll always be in jail nigga, just minus the bars
82
[Chorus:]
83
[Too $hort]
84
Shit is crazy man
85
All these niggaz out here snitchin
86
We was one step away from takin this crack money
87
And recyclin it through the ghettoes
88
And buildin back up our own hoods
89
Now all you niggaz start snitchin on each other
90
I got partners doin 15-20
91
Wouldn'ta been doin shit
92
If you didn't snitch
93
Beyotch!
94
It's about time y'all check that shit out man
95
It ain't all good
96
Shut your mouth
97
Just watch the game
98
And don't snitch
99
It sure will do a lot for you
100
Believe that baby
101
Jay-Z, Short Dawg's in the house main
102
You know I got it
103
Got it goin on
104
We got the money
105
Ain't got nuthin to do with crime baby
106
But I'm recognizing
107
[Jay-Z]
108
You rat bastard!
