[Verse 1:]

How you gonna take this? like a Man or a bitch?

you gon' get it on nigga or you gon' snitch?

I represent niggas in the hood gettin' rich

man, I stack chips and I unload clips

after 3 Summers in the joint I thought life was hard

you know me, started sellin' leek in the yard

yo, I ran into niggas who used to have Hummers

big as Hell in the joint wearin' '86 numbers

you could think that, but say that and yo' ass is dead wrong

a convo is only three words, "yo whattup"

you ain't gotta work out to leave this bitch cut up

let a nigga find out you on some goin' home shit

and you tryin' to bounce without payin' a loan, shit

some niggas beat cases on the strength of they cream

after the witnesses disappeared on the strength of they team

I'm hard as Hell to get along wit' so it never fails

a nigga I got beef with end up in the same jail

he had a L rolled in bible paper blowin' the lye

I sent him a little kite just to be blowin' his high

and when I shot you in NewYork why would I box you now?

If I catch you in the yard I'm'a ox you down

niggas you think is real really can't hold they own

I'll have 'em on some E.T. shit tryin' to phone home

in here a gemstar is like a Nine Milly chrome

it's similar, infact they'll both split ya dome

scars are souvenirs, niggas always take 'em home.



[Chorus]

You got blown over the jack? (that ain't gangsta)

Your Man ran when you got clapped? (that ain't gangsta)

rockin' a vest with no gat? (that ain't gangsta)

you only a thug when you rap? (that ain't gangsta)

niggas jooked you for your track? (th
