One weapon to the four of us
24
Hidin' in the corridor until we see the beam from car headlights
25
White boy in' the wrong place at the right time
26
Soon as the car door open up he mine
27
We roll up quick and put the pistol to his nose

By the look on his face he probably shitted in his clothes
29
You know what this is, it's a stick up
30
Gimme the do' from your pickups
31
You ran into the wrong niggaz
32
We runnin' down the block hot with these stacks of boxes

So we split up and met back at the apartment

'Cause when we was spooked as shit then we was targets
50
Now we just walk right up and say, "Charge it!"
51
To the game we rockin' brand names

Well known at department store chains
53
Even got the boys in the crew a few things
54
Po po never know who to true blame
55
Sto' after sto' you know we kept rollin'
56
Wait two weeks, report the car stolen
57
Repeat the cycle like a like a laundry mat
58
Like a glitch in the system it's hard to catch
59
Comin' out the mall with the shoppin' bags
60
We can take it right back then get the cash
61

I made her feel like it was an emergency
92
When I came to the crib niggaz couldn't believe
93
I came back with a big bag of groceries, hell yeah
94
Every job I ever had I had to get on the first day
95
I find out how to pimp on the system
96
Two steps ahead of the manager
97
Gettin' over on the regular tax free money out of the register
98
And when I'm workin' late nights
99
Stockin' boxes I'm creepin' they merchandise
100
And don't put me on dishes I'm droppin' them bitches

We ain't gettin' paid commission, minimum wage
103
Modern day slave conditions
104
Got me flippin' burgers with no power
105
Can't even buy one off what I make in an hour
106
I'm not the one to kiss ass for the top position
107
I take mine off the top like a politician
