Chain

[Verse 1]

Got a year’s paycheck hangin’ on his neck

Gotta floss for the bitches

Got a wallet full of money and a new Rolex

And the low-hittin' switches

Gotta put on for the block he got brought up

And all the blocks just like it

Gotta find more traps in every city that he visit

Show 'em how to get right shit

Got a neck tattoo and a hat with a leather brim

Teardrops on the face

Got a Chevalier and a vintage Jay's

And a Louis briefcase

Got the Comme des Garçons cologne to drop on

Neck smellin’ like gold

Got the taper fresh and the Tom Ford pressed

The A/C on cold

Got a text of the light from a number that he didn’t know

Gotta pull out the celly

Got a message sayin’ he was dead if he tried to go

Gotta look like: "Really?"

Gotta feel like: "What the fuck is this shit 'bout?"

These hoods so triflin’

Gotta show 'em how to step they life up a little bit

All they think about is fightin’

Gotta laugh at it, really, ain't nobody gonna do shit

All these wannabe thugs

Got so much cash, 'course they gonna wanna hate

These kids need hugs

Got an itch when he put the gas pedal to the floor

Somethin' didn't feel right

Got a bullet through his brain, and he didn't feel anything more

[Hook]

Don't act surprised

When a real motherfucker come around and take yo' shit

These streets got eyes on every corner, they watchin' you

When you flash yo' jewels (Tuck yo' chain!)

Don't act surprised

When a real motherfucker come around and take your shit (Tuck yo' chain!)

These streets got eyes on every corner, they watchin' you

Watchin' you

[Verse 2]

Got a half a key and a squad of goons

Got killers on payroll

Got ecstasy, got good kush, too

Got a plug in Dago

Got a small spot in the same hood where he hustle

Everybody know Cooper

Gotta respect the man who take care of the family

No trouble on the stoop, where he got

Rottweilers that bark wild

At night when you might step close

Got deadbolts, got lead posts on the beds

Keep a Beretta close to his headboard

At night when he is sleepin’

Don’t you even think about creepin’ on him

He squeezin' 'fore when he reason

Mouth still 'cheese'-in'

‘Cause he got a death wish, since he was a kid

No reason to stay here

Got money, look what that shit did

Got a whole block in fear

Got hoes lot got clear

Got dro, got sincere

Got wifey right, got in a fight

Got a little tight, got too hype

Gotta get out, gotta get air

Got a standin' tab at a local bar

‘Cause they know he good for it

Gonna wish he’d seen the approaching car

Creepin' on some slow shit

Got his chain on still, 'cause he walked out fast

And forgot to tuck it

Got to the door, when two shots blast

[Hook]

Don't act surprised

When a real motherfucker come around and take yo' shit

These streets got eyes on every corner, they watchin' you

When you flash yo' jewels (Tuck yo' chain!)

Don't act surprised

When a real motherfucker come around and take your shit (Tuck yo' chain!)

These streets got eyes on every corner, they watchin' you

Watchin' you

[Verse 3]

Got a man at home, ain’t doin' shit so she stroll

Got babies too and she ain’t givin’ em up

So bankroll is a must, gotta muster up

Gotta knuckle up sometimes, gotta get them bucks

Buck back when the bullshit get too rough

Gotta keep a motherfucker up

Gotta ride rough, bumpin’ that E.D.E

All these lil' bitches prolly [?]

Gotta look out for the P.I.M

PB&J for little Tyrese

Got a money tree stashed in the mattress

Gotta be the world’s best actress

Gotta flash tits, flash dance

Gymnastics, jazz tap tap tap

Switchblade in the bra strap

Gotta stay strapped, gotta stay fly

Gotta stay around this motherfucker who stay high

God knows why

Gotta have a baby daddy somewhere

Gotta go out and decompress

Gotta go out or be depressed

Gotta be the best, gotta be stressed

Got a fat gold ring, class of 2003

Got a long, gold chain, danglin’ to the belly

Got a button open on the top

Two from the bottom

Got outside the club, flossin’ click-clack

[Hook/Outro]

Don't act surprised

When a real motherfucker come around and take yo' shit

These streets got eyes on every corner, they watchin' you

When you flash yo' jewels (Tuck yo' chain!)

Don't act surprised

When a real motherfucker come around and take your shit (Tuck yo' chain!)

These streets got eyes on every corner, they watchin' you

Watchin' you

Don't act surprised

When a real motherfucker come around and take yo' shit

These streets got eyes on every corner, they watchin' you

When you flash yo' jewels (Tuck yo' chain!)

Don't act surprised

When a real motherfucker come around and take your shit (Tuck yo' chain!)

These streets got eyes on every corner, they watchin' you

Watchin' you
