Motive 4 Murder Lyrics


The stress of everyday living
Is slowly corrupting my soul
I'm 2 months out the joint on papers
Walking with 3 years paroleI did 4 and a half a slab
And shit a nigga was dying
I'm finally back in the world
And it's hard but I'm still tryingNot to fall and risk my freedom
Again trying to ball
While waiting for this pussy ass job
To call and it ain't hoppingGot me tipping to hear them things
Popping cash bags dropping
With plenty of cane for recopping
Opportunity knocking it's what I'm onI cry when I'm at home 'cause I'm alone
24 years and grown with a future unknown
My heart was torn from the pain of being back in the game
But I'd rather die getting my hustle on and live like a laneSo it's back to pistols and cane
Plotting on licks hitting stains
The mob life runs through my veins

It's too late for me to changeThese streets got me deranged
Strapped up and paranoid
Ready to add on situations
I can and can't avoid plus big voices getting hotThey constantly sneaking on blocks
They trying to bring me in unconscious
But them pins got popped
Now they got me on the runCherishing every last breath
But I ain't going back
It's freedom or death
That be my motive 4 murderNow I know you the judge of life and death
I ain't evil or nothing
But somebody done brought me pain and sorrow
So I'ma have to kill somethingLet me count the ways that I can repent
Trying to stay holy and focused
But that evil in his eyes let me know that nigga
Too bogus that be my motive 4 murderI'ma survive these streets another day
I know the pain in my heart won't go away
These motherfuckers try to murder me
And won't nobody hurt my family that's what he gotta die9 times out of 10 you can find
May's trying to hit a better lick
If it ain't coming up with the dopiest shit
Then I'm trying to cop the thickest brick'Cause life in the belly of the best
Is equal to poverty's bottomless pit
Where bitch niggas trick and thirsty
Motherfuckers beat you out of everything you getBut it seems like everybody's trying
To make some type of come up quick
Before it's too late to get straight
And the most I make is final pickAnywhere they shit like riding slick
With a thick chick slobbing your dick
Even if it means fighting these niggas
In cases as long as neither ones thick'Cause I swear when I get hit
I go in a crucial rage like a flick
Turn straight lunatic making all these bitches
Niggas hear their final tickBut that don't mean my minds sick
Just 'cause I'm motivated by a lot of cheese
When trees by the P's and fuckin' fine
Fee's and 3's with easeFor sho' the skilled poets within in the mask up kill for it
I'll whoop a fiend with a crushed grill
I'll bet his dumb ass'll still blow itBullshit ain't nothing I'm trying to get this first mil in the bank
And drive a bullet-proof Hummer tank
So the next haters who try to air me out come up blankAnd I'ma have to sacrifice your life
With a wrath that's stronger than Christ
And forces of life that's know to do
Damage to human eyesightI guess it's true money's the route of all evil
'Cause crooked or legal
It's all manipulated by the eagle
And be my motive for murderNow I know you the judge of life and death
I ain't evil or nothing
But somebody done brought me pain and sorrow
So I'ma have to kill somethingLet me count the ways that I can repent
Trying to stay holy and focused
But that evil in his eyes let me know that nigga
Too bogus that be my motive 4 murderI'ma survive these streets another day
I know the pain in my heart won't go away
These motherfuckers try to murder me
And won't nobody hurt my family that's what he gotta dieLord knows I was hurt from a judge from the start
How I'ma hide love from this mark, this nigga made my homie
Die in my arms had to put a slug in his heart
Mother fuck that stuff it was just a grudge on his partMy boy was young and ambitious took his dreams and wishes
Try to do right but my attitude like blast them bitches
Drowning all my sorrows in bottles of yack
And a quarter ounce of dro want a rap I'm 'bout to snapHere come the big pay back looking up on the dresser
For the black and gray strap I'm crying and shit, I was hurt so bad
I felt I had to go kill him even if a slug hit him, I was still hurt
Enough to aim at myself and die with him can't control them painsNow it's time to throw them thangs visions of the stud don't stay
Empty the clip of am out right ambulance come around
By the time the hypes taking of his Nike's
I know it sound cold but this bullet put a hole in my soulNever shorties years stole he was only 17 years old
And at the funeral I got to watch his mama's tears roll
And I know he used to wild
Sometimes carry a 9 but you took away your sunshineNo more reminiscing on the fun times balling
And coming at bitches with blunt lines
But this nigga ain't going to want mine for the pain
I'ma handle this funk and dismantle this junkFuck all that in all black and then pumped
To run up on this nigga tip up on him then jump
Mission to kill armed with a fist full of steel
Eyes gleam with the furyNever thought I'd be facing to 2 mothers
In front of a prosecuting team and a jury
How did one murder turn into 2 revenge
Had me shooting through hateI couldn't stop in the mist of the action
Is when that little girl got shot
All because of my motive 4 murderNow I know you the judge of life and death
I ain't evil or nothing
But somebody done brought me pain and sorrow
So I'ma have to kill somethingLet me count the ways that I can repent
Trying to stay holy and focused
But that evil in his eyes let me know that nigga
Too bogus that be my motive 4 murderI'ma survive these streets another day
I know the pain in my heart won't go away
These motherfuckers try to murder me
And won't nobody hurt my family that's what he gotta die

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Carl Terrell Mitchell (born November 27, 1973 in Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Twista and formerly Tung Twista, is an American rapper who once held the title of fastest emcee in the world, being able to pronounce 11.2 syllables per second. In 1992 he released his debut album, Runnin' Off At Da Mouth, and has since released a further seven albums including 1994's Resurrection, 1997's Adrenaline Rush, 2004's highly successful Kamikaze, 2005's The Day After and 2007's Adrenaline Rush 2007. His latest studio album, Category F5, was released in July of 2009.

Twista grew up in the K-Town area on the west side of Chicago. He started rapping at the age of 12. However, before starting his professional career, he worked at several other jobs including working at a factory, selling shoes, working at McDonald's, working as a security guard, and even cutting hair.

Twista was one of the first artists to sign with Loud Records. In 1991, he released Runnin' off at da Mouth under the name of Tung Twista. Due to his rapid-fire pace of delivery, he was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's fastest rapper. Despite this recognition, the album achieved little success. Tung Twista dropped the "Tung" off of his name in his second album Resurrection, which was never released outside of Chicago's underground.

In 1996, he teamed with fellow Chicago act "Do or Die" on the track "Po' Pimp" leading to a contract with Atlantic Records. He released Adrenaline Rush in 1997 followed by Mobstability in 1998. Twista then formed his own Legit Ballin' label which has released two compilation albums Legit Ballin' in 1999 and Legit Ballin' Vol. 2: Street Scriptures in 2001. The label later released Respect The Game,Vol. 3 in 2002 and Volume 4: Tha Truth in 2006.

Twista developed a good reputation in rap circles leading to work with Mariah Carey, P. Diddy (then Puff Daddy),Lil kim, Drag-on, Jay-Z, Timbaland, Ras Kass, Ludacris, Royce Da 5'9", Shaquille O'Neal, and Da Brat. However, it would take him until 2004 to achieve a platinum, number-one record under his own name.

On his website, Twista stated that he made Kamikaze to show that he was still true to the ideals that he had when he started out. "I represent for the MCs that have skills, not just make music for the hell of it. I take the time to concentrate. Otherwise, I could have 10 albums out there, easy. I could sit down all day and write something. But I write when I get in a zone more than writing because I’ve got to do this. I represent the artists that keep it true to what really is, to be able to make rappers want to write."

"I want to show the streets that I’m back and that I’m true to the game. Musically, I want to show that I’m still out here doing my thing. After all the people that were out when I was out years ago fell off, I’m still out here competing with the shorties. I also want to gain platinum success. It’s something that I haven’t done."

The first single, "Slow Jamz", featured Kanye West and Jamie Foxx. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 and world R&B charts in early 2004, and eventually reached number 3 on the UK singles charts. Kamikaze built on the success of "Slow Jamz" to reach the top of the Billboard 200 album chart upon its release in January 2004 and went platinum by March 2004. The second single, "Overnight Celebrity", became another top 10 Hot 100 hit and a UK top 40 entry, while the third, "So Sexy" (featuring R. Kelly), made the top 40 of the Hot 100. In the UK, the album track "Sunshine", which featured R&B singer Anthony Hamilton and lifted its chorus from Bill Withers' "Lovely Day", was extracted as a third single and became a big hit; this track received comparatively little exposure in the U.S., perhaps because rapper Lil' Flip had a huge hit there at the same time with a different song of the same title.
