G's Up

[Production by Pete Rock]

[Hook]

G's up nigga (G's up), ho's down (ho's down)

If the bitch can't swim she gon' drown (she gon' drown)

Runnin' the streets totin' the fo' pound

If you ain't know we was them niggas, then nigga you know now (DIPSET)

[2x]

[Max B]

I had to fade 'em into black

Hit 'em with the crossover, made 'em jump back

And before all that

I used to make 'em pump crack

Ridin 'shotgun in the Eight slum back

Max leave the streets? Please, they don't want that

They need me in the shit

The .40 cals is mine, the nina's we could split

Cock back, squeeze off, started feedin' 'em with the fifth

And you couldn't really hide, cause I seen that nigga trip

You ain't seen a nigga flip

Until they bank 50 G's and you feed a nigga trips

39th, 40th and you feeding nigga's strips

Beat the nigga bitch

'til she bleedin from the lips (yeah)

Got me speedin' in the six

Drunk off the hen', breezin' in the mist

Chicks believin' in the dick (dick)

Fiendin' for a sniff

Got me needin' for a spliff

Ain't a thing funny, when you fucking with this money

I'mma lean you off a cliff...G's up

[Hook] x2

[Jim Jones]

The picture gettin clearer

If it was bricks than the strip we had to tear it up

If it's beef, the .45th we had to gear

Lookin at my life through this rear viewer mirror

Burnin' in the pike in this brand new Carrera

The game funny, mo' money it's gets weirder

My gang hungry, no money that we scared of

And do us both a favor my nigga, and don't compare us

We still losin' soldiers at this war

Like every other week I'm pourin cold ones at the floor

They just killed Ike, he was going to the store

That's why I roll around fully loaded in the door

A majority the time, I'm tryna stay above the poverty line

And that's a major part of my grind

I still hit the 'hood and park my cars in the nine

While the little niggas pump hard with dimes...

[Hook]

[Jim Jones]

They say success is like omen (pray for me)

You see police will arrest us while we rollin' (I know my rights)

We stay on heat, so if you press we ain't foldin' (fuckers)

You see me in the streets, it ain't a question that I'm holdin'

[Max B] (Jim Jones)

We pimpin' easy

Let niggas hate me, come teach me

The niggas with the big cake, they couldn't reach me (I KNOW)

Now when they see us, they kick game, everything all peachy (Ay, suckas)

Snitch niggas put 'em beneath me, (fuck) believe me

[Jim Jones]

Fuck 'em (that's right) I can't let them break me (not at all)

If I don't die, well then a man is what it makes me (makes me stronger)

I rather ride in the Lambo's with the AC

Top down, stoppin for nothing, coming through frollin'

[Max B] (Jim Jones)

I try to be one of these niggas that do it for nothin' (I need the money)

I got a passion for this shit cause I love it (me too)

Like a piece of pussy when I'm fuckin' (fuckin'), waitin' to cum

Runnin the streets at Lennox Ave., wavin' my gun

[Hook] x2 with ad libs from Jim Jones

[Jim Jones talking until end]

Byrd gang...yeah!

You know the rules man...G's up, hoes down

Fuck it...just let the bitch drown man...

M.O.B. for life!...

I'm about my paper man...

You gotta G mack, but you first gotta G stack

Gotta get your one's up, and then get your fun up, ya smell me?...

Life is a lesson...you live it one and ya learn once...

Ya make the same mistake twice...that might be yo' ass

Capo status man..

From the projects....that's the 'hood within a 'hood

That shit you dunno nothin' about motherfuckers...

And trust me when I tell you...be easy
