Thugs with the heat, are the coldest ones to meet

Slow down, start snitching, ay, ay, homeboy
Hey I remember get money, all we did was get money
'Til the feds raided the trap and they took my (thang) from me
Put me in a room alone, separated the click from me
Next thing you my lawyer said (my partner snitched on me)
Now ain't that a bitch homey? (They ain't had a thing) on us
Until you started telling, now they talking big numbers
We coulda split charges up, missed five or six summers
Instead you trying to talk, telling so you can walk
