Safe

I got the new face tape I'm about to

Pop in the deck for you niggaz

Turn up your radiosYou're down and out, money funny, you hustle and die

On the verge of pawnin' your jewelry and sellin' your ride

Somebody shoulda told him ain't no life in these streets

You only out here till you touch it, when you touch it you eat

Niggaz done took too many chances shovelin' snow

And ended up facin' a lifetime for tryin' to sco'

I'm givin livin' definitions on the subject of dope

One week he back on his feet, the next he's whoa

I was a seventies baby, raised in the eighties

I was barely touchin sixteen when shit got crazy

I remember in the eighties, me and pop would ride

Now we conversate on acres, he's about to buy

He had already been what I'm about to go through

Told me ain't no sense in gamblin' if you gamble to lose

If you made twelve dollars, you put seven away

And lived off the five, and never ever fuck with ya safe

But whenWhen he hustle and he robbin'

That's when niggaz start plottin'

And when you niggaz start plottin'

Us country niggaz start mobbin', mobbin'I'm 'bout my paper, these other niggaz slang for the sport

Like unaware tomorrow ain't promised, the game is too short

I've witnessed niggaz get it all and give it away

Gettin' back was out of the question, they lived for today

Then the hunger pains start up, then the murderous plots

To set up, they fuckin' homeboy to get what he got

I mean the ones he broke the bread with, the ones you don't want

To be the ones fuckin' your girlfriend, the moment you out

I know the street game backwards, forwards, sideways

It used to be an honest hustle back then but nowadays

It's cut throat, that's fucked up, niggaz want they come up

So bad they'll take the three fifty seven and smoke they brother

A damn shame but that's the way the game go

A chance niggaz is takin' especially if they slang dope

I've been in that position, back in the day

And feel my homey, hittin' my head to crack in my safe

And that's whenWhen ya hustle ain't evolvin'

That's when niggaz start starvin'

And when you niggaz start starvin'

That's when you niggaz start robbin'

When these niggaz got problems

That's when niggaz start plottin'

And when you niggaz start plottin'

Us country niggaz start mobbin', mobbin'So listen up my niggaz, and I ain't tryin' to preach

I'm just tellin' it from my side 'cause I'm in the streets

I done been there, done that, seen a whole neighborhood

Destroyed by the government bein' tipped off by one rat

He caught a dope case and they threatened him with time

He get his own fuckin' people jammed and he take the five

That's the shit there, they ain't even catch him with dope

But they gave him thirty five years 'cause the nigga didn't spoke

Snitchin', that's a motherfucker, watch what you say

You don't know no motherfuckin' body, nigga, you lame

Watch your so called homeboys, keep to yourself

Stay away from niggaz gettin' caught then get out of jail

Don't talk about your business, keep your thoughts in your head

And this game it got a paper trail, watch where you spend

Don't write down names and numbers, it's a memory thang

Never shit where you sleep, keep the crib out of range

And plus you never let these niggaz know where you stay

'Cause when the push turns to a shove, they hit and you say

True motherfuckin' game, true motherfuckin' gameWhen ya hustle ain't evolvin'

That's when niggaz start starvin'

And when you niggaz start starvin'

That's when you niggaz start robbin'

When these niggaz got problems

That's when niggaz start plottin'

And when you niggaz start plottin'

Us country niggaz start mobbin', mobbin'
