Lyrics

Verse 3

[Instrumental of "Nuthin' But a "G" Thang" playing]

[Intro]

It's like this and like that and like this

It's like this and like that and like this

[Verse]

I'm the illest rapper to hold a cordless

Patrolling corners, looking for hookers

To punch in the mouth with a roll of quarters

I'm meaner in action than Roscoe beating James Todd Sr. and smackin' his back with vacuum cleaner attachments

I grew up in the wild hood, as a hazardous youth

With a fucked up childhood that I used as an excuse

And ain't shit changed but kept the same mindstate

Since the third time that I failed ninth grade

You probably think that I'm a negative person, don't be so sure of it

I don't promote violence, I just encourage it

I laugh at the sight of death

As I fall down a cement flight of steps

And land inside a bed of spider webs

So throw caution to the wind

You and a friend can jump off of a bridge and if you live, do it again

Shit, why not? Blow your brain out, I'm blowing mine out

Fuck it, you only live once you might as well die now
