[Hook: Guru] - 2X

Used to run with the older dudes

That's how I know the rules

Notice how these fools talk gats but can't hold the tool

What I know is true, I do what I'm supposed to do

Open you, you kids ain't sposed to speak till ya spoken to



[Tef]

Tell me what the fuck a hood do to make a young buck get dumbstruck

By the sight and the sound when the gun bust

Nigga tell me how to, fuck I know the smell of gunpowder

So well that when the shell spits sniffin it'll rouse ya

Why you send me like this to live a life with such malice

In the streets bound by the vows of marriage

To the game, I'm a hustler

Shellshocked from lettin the shells pop from the muffler

Get knocked, get bailed, with the bell heart just to touch ya

Fuck ya, I done paid all my dues in spades

and know the tools of the trade

Nigga fuck the police, I done spent life up in the streets

Ain't got plans for comin up in this peice

To give a nigga, every side of my struggle

To show y'all mothafuckas all the real ill shit they put a thug through

And they wonder why I let my pants hang, fuck with hoodrats

Cheap nigga and won't give up a God-damn thang

[Guru]

I sat by the door, but never call me a spoof

Go head and, call on ya troops, we'll have you callin a truce

I got here on pure guts, carve diamonds with pure cuts

Still the king of underground, you toilet tissue, pure butt

And just incase you wanna spread rumors

Me and Tef'll give you lead to the head tumors







Used to rock blue and red Pumas

I went to Farrakhan speak when I was 12 years old

He said, "Create your own job, know yourself, don't fold"

My uncle Clarence, rest in pe
