'Cause our niggas is wit it [Verse 1] I want Monopoly money but I ain't even halfway there 'Cause doin' dirt, a nigga got to take the back way there What it is, is the biz and it's dirty You'll get rich but life expectancy is about thirty Place of business is the hallways, I've been up for four days On parole with warrants that'll send me back to Rahway If I get caught across Jersey state lines Figure this 9-8 and I been runnin' since 8-9 So that's like 9 years delinquent time, you speak in crime then you know 9 years you owe, get knocked, 9 years you gonna go No probation or parole more time doin' nothin' Day room to the yard, writin' rhymes and frontin Carry niggas greasy because I'm built like that Bury niggas easy 'cause they get killed like that If you ain't in it wit me then you in my way, but either or You will respect mine and leave the TEC-9 and leave it for dude The realest you gonna feel is when you face your death "Sorry, I didn't know"? Nigga, don't even waste your breath Coppin' pleas not D why you flippin' Nigga know the only thing I'm really scared of is slippin' Lettin' a nigga catch you when I got my guard down, so I keep 'em up Noddin' off with one eye open, I can freak it But there's gonna be a time when I close 'em both Lead poisonin', I'm a get hit with an overdose Over those drug things, crud things Think I don't know my slug stains, or blood blaze Raw gun playin' drama, sadness to another nigga's momma I'mma be the the one that puts you up in shock trauma These are troublesome times and the crimes prevail And the dark side keep a nigga's ass in jail Bada-boom, bada-bing, some of this and some of that I gots to boogie for a minute but you know I'm comin' back [Chorus] Now what y'all want me to do Keep your shit the hardest It's about to go down Niggas is ready to start this War that's for sure Nigga come and get it We Ryde or Die, why?

'Cause our niggas is wit it [Verse 2] Try to show niggas but I can only hope they see You's a little nigga fit right up in a 6 by 3 Layin' up like this, lips sewn shut eyes closed Niggas walk past the casket, damn shorty nice pose You was ballin' nigga 'til your ass got balled out, called out By some disrespectful ass niggas that go all out I bet you thought it was real funny, until it had to get cruddy Me walkin' off leavin' you with all this bloody What he gonna do when it's all over for real And the last thing you seein' is that steel? A blast of light, that's what he seein' if you blast him right Hit him in his face and hear them close the casket tight 'Cause it's like it ain't nothin' but endin' it to a nigga Street sweeper like ahhhh, sendin it to a nigga When you in the house you'll play by house rules Two words you'll never hear again are house lose And that's house choose it ain't gonna be that, 'cause I can't see that Ready to get up in this nigga's ass real good, so where the weed at? Believe that, you ain't gon' see nothin' gettin' too familiar And I would tell you what I do but then I'd have to kill you And it ain't even worth it, I ain't gon' build nothin' So I just let you go be that same nigga, still frontin' Laughin' and shit, like you see somethin' funny What you sayin' sounds good, but let me see somethin' money For real (dog nigga, dog nigga, dog nigga, dog nigga nigga) [Chorus] Now what y'all want me to do Keep your shit the hardest It's about to go down Niggas is ready to start this War that's for sure Nigga come and get it We Ryde or Die, why?
