Lyrics

The Code

[Chorus: 21 Savage & The Game]

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Cops)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Cops)

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul ('Fore I sell my soul)

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul ('Fore I sell my soul)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Cops)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Cops)

[Verse 1: The Game]

I was young, black, and ashy, '42 khakis

Red rag in my pocket

Throwin' up Blood to any car that ever pass me

Gangbang classy

Gold herringbone, mama said I'm too flashy

Niggas wanna jack me, tell 'em, "Run it," like a track meet

On my DMX shit, tell my enemies to get at me

I'm from Compton where the bitches carry ratchets

And niggas in wheelchairs ain't never heard of Degrassi

Raw hand, I'm gutter, Dre had to Aftermath me

Had a flow when I was a rider, Compton like Tallahassee

First album classic, second album classic

So I skipped the hoodrats and went straight to the Cassies

N.Y.C., top down, Big blastin'

Nas said I'd be a legend, nigga, don't gas me

Hot in '97, Funk Flex had to ask me

"How you make it out that beef with Hov?"

Nigga, my passion

[Interlude: The Game]

I was in New York the first time I heard "Dear Summer" on Hot 97

Top of the W Hotel, 54th & Broadway

Lookin' out my window at Diddy in a Sean John sweatsuit

I felt ambushed by New York niggas

It's still West Side though

[Chorus: 21 Savage & The Game]

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul ('Fore I sell my soul)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Fuck 12)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Cops)

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul ('Fore I sell my soul)

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul ('Fore I sell my soul)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Cops)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Cops)

[Interlude: The Game]

See the thing I miss about hip-hop the most

Was the storytelling

That B.I.G. shit, that Nas shit, that Slick Rick shit

That Tribe Called Quest

You know that, that cruisin' the street in my '64, R.I.P. to Eazy

I ain't got nothin' against new hip-hop, I fuck with all you niggas

And remember, nigga, I was young too, let's go

[Verse 2: The Game]

Made it out the hood and some, I'm on my fourth passport

God gave me all this shit, I ain't have to ask for it

Gold Daytons on a '97 Honda Passport

Black ski mask on, runnin' from the task force

Uzi, had the cash for it, and I had the stash for it

Foot on the brake, hit the wipers, open the dashboard

Sold drugs, made straight A's, and I was playin' sports

Youngin and fresh, six bricks inside a Jansport

Fast forward, countin' this money on Aftermath for it

Bought a new Ferrari, gave my bitch ten stacks

Told her don't come back here 'til she got an ass for it

Told her run through mackin' in Louis to get a bag for it

I give you classics when you ask for it

I Vince Carter-ed everything Just Blaze threw off the backboard

Fuck a Grammy, that is not what I come back for

I came for hip-hop, niggas forgot to lock the back door

[Chorus: 21 Savage & The Game]

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul ('Fore I sell my soul)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Fuck 12)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Cops)

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul ('Fore I sell my soul)

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul ('Fore I sell my soul)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Cops)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Woo)

[Verse 3: 21 Savage]

Ask around Atlanta, Savage known to let it bang bang (Bang)

Gang gang, get a nigga stabbed in the chain gang

Lieutenant like I'm Dam' Wayne, bring the major pain, pain

Candlelight, Fox 5, fish fry, gang gang

All I know is A-B-C-D-E-F-G shit (C)

Wet 'em with the chopper, watch a nigga get seasick (Sea)

Throwin' up the pyramid, like I'm from Egypt (Gang)

The hunnid round see-through, y'all so see-through (Bop)

I know real Crips and they say they never see you

Just like Clifford, I'm the big red Blood, ayy

Glock 45, get a big red slug

You ain't Blood, you a bitch, you a big red stud (Oh)

Way before the rap, I trappin' out the cold

I didn't know how to water whip, I straight dropped the dope (Oh)

All these guns in the car, I gotta wear a seatbelt

I ain't got no license, so I gotta wear my seatbelt (Skrrt)

I do this shit myself, nigga, I don't need no help

Walk up on 'em with that, God help me, he a priest now (Bop)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Cops)

Posted on the block, deuce-deuce in my sock

Feel like Mozzy, I got one up top (Yeah)

Couple years, real niggas gon' be extinct

Bitch, I got a MAC-10 under this mink

Pull up, let it blink, nigga, I don't think (Oh)

Your hood Titanic, we gon' make that shit sink (Straight up)

[Chorus: 21 Savage, The Game]

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul ('Fore I sell my soul)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Fuck 12)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Cops)

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul (Soul)

Live by the code, die by the code, never been a ho

Bury me before I sell my soul

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Cops)

AK with the stock (Stock), thirty on the Glock (Glock)

Kill all the opps (Opps), ride on the cops (Cops)
