Don't have another day right?
5
It's only right
6
Let me put you on to what happens Son never believe this shit
7
Kick that shit
8
[Prodigy]
9
It's just another day drownin my troubles with a forty
10
That's when I got the call from this brownskin shorty
11
She asked me where's my crew at? Said we could do whatever
12
She got her crew too, and said that we should get together
13
I said, "Aight -- just call me back in a hour
14
so I can take a shower and gather up the manpower"
15
Then I hung up the horn
16
And I thought to myself that it might be on
17
Cause this trick ain't pick up the phone to call me in years (Why?)
18
Ever since I left the hoe lonely in tears
19
Ain't no tellin what her friends puttin up in her ears
20
Ideas of settin me up, I'm not tryin ta hear
21
(Check it out, Son) So we take the gats for precautions
22
Plus this trick live in Brooklyn, home of the coffin
23
She might got a whole batallion of Bucktowners
24
Waitin for us to get up off the train and surround us
25
Or maybe, I'm blowin this shit out of proportion
26
But this shit do happen, to niggaz very often
27
So fuck it, a nigga gotta do what he meant to
28
My crew got my back, fuck the world is my mental
29
We put together five soldiers, the bitch called
30
My blood curdled, told me to meet her on Myrtle
31
Got to the plaza, we're waitin for the G train
32
We put a plan together, just in case the beef came
33
Now we Bed Stuy bound
34
Far from home and on unknown ground
35
But together we six deep, with fire piece, nuttin sweet
36
First nigga frontin gettin lifted off his fuckin feet
37
It took eternity, we reached our destination
38
My heartbeat is racin like a cardiac patient
39
We finally got to Myrtle outside the train station
40
I saw not a soul, told my peoples to be patient
41
But hold up, thats when a black caravan rolled up
42
My legs then froze up, I grabbed my pound
43
Told my man, "Eyes open cause it might go down"
44
Said he don't like the way the shit is startin to sound
45
Evey angle of the car was smoked out and tinted
46
So we couldn't tell if the enemy was in it
47
It mighta been TNT, I wasn't tryin to wait and see, we
48
jetted thru Marcy cause Dee's ain't baggin me
49
Word Son, they got us on the run, Dunn, see yo
50
Chorus:
51
Check it out, check it out, check it out, yo
52
Trife life got me thinkin like an animal
53
No doubt, no doubt, no doubt, no doubt yo
54
What can kill you is what you don't know
55
[Havoc]
56
OK check it, you're on your way to your girl's crib
57
But the bitch live in the 'Bridge
58
You ain't really sweatin it, cause little do you know
59
The niggaz in the 'Bridge be settin it
60
You thought you was safe and tried to walk the backstreets without heat
61
on the 41st Side (settin it) of 12th Street
62
The cyber-niggaz don't give a fuck
63
Decide well if you come thru frontin, kid you gettin bucked
64
On your way, to apartment 3A
65
with a phat herringbone, let him slide, no days
66
Son get the heat, cause I'm about to stick em
67
(Fuck that shit, yo if that nigga front, yo hit him!)
68
Aight bet, so just hold it down
69
while I cock back the long three pound
70
You're upstairs bonin, not knowin that I'm scheamin
71
Just the right time kid, it's twelve in the evenin
72
You're leavin out the buildin as you kiss your girl goodbye
73
Thought you was safe and got caught by surprised
74
"What's goin on?", as I reply,
75
"Shut the fuck up and don't make this 'to another homicide"
76
He tried to play tough so I put one in his brain
77
Even though I took his life, all I wanted was the chain
78
Come through truck without heat, how you figure?
79
When you in the projects keep your fingers on the trigger
80
But fuck that we're juxin, if you got what we like you gets tooken
81
Put you on your back, send you on your way, yo good lookin
82
Now be catchin the cap that holes in ya Lewis in Brooklyn
83
Gettin to' up from the flo' up, hit the dress sto' up
84
Got the 80-0 in case a nigga wanna roll up
85
Get'cha motherfuckin shit swoll up
86
Now it's back to Queens to serve fiends
87
Makin G's by any means, my eyes on my enemies
88
Sippin Hennessey, with my mind on some crime shit
89
One-time searchin me but never ever find shit
90
It's the everyday, get the loot then breeze
91
Though my goal is to leave outta state, push ki's
92
But all this bullshit holdin me down, I can't leave
93
Fuck a 9-to-5, I get the loot with ease
94
Don't even need a degree to earn a six-digit figure
95
I get mines slingin on the corner with my niggaz
96
Pullin the trigger when the drama appears
97
Cause that nigga worse enemy is FEAR
98
So yo....
99
Chorus
100
No doubt, so what can kill you is what you don't know..
101
