Yo this song right here, I remember I used to play

This sample for people before I hooked it up

And I used to tell people

"Yo, this, this gon' be like The Truth but it's gon' better than The Truth"

I remember all my niggas, my nigga [?] said:

"I mean that's decent, but that ain't no Truth, that ain't no Truth right there!"

And he was talkin' 'bout, the Takeover

[Jim Morrison]

Five to one, baby, one in five

No one here, gets, out alive, now

You'll get yours, baby, I'll get mine

Gonna make it, baby, if we try

May take a week, and it may take longer

They got the guns, but we got the numbers

Gonna win, yeah we're, takin' over

Come on!
