[Intro]

What up, my nigga?

This ain't just no hood

This is a battlefield

Where loyalty is law and love is weakness

Where young niggas die every day

Where it's passed down like a family trophy

This ain't no gang-banging world

This is what we've become

We in the system where they gon' forget about you

Where the streets gon' remember you

When your stomach was empty, the block fed you

But it's the price and the charge for this, motherfuckеr

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm living my world retaliation as I'm sweating

As long as you're sweeping, I can gеt respected

[Chorus]

Now a mission ain't a mission if nobody ride

And a mission ain't a mission if nobody die

And a mission ain't complete if the enemy don't sleep

Enemies rest in peace, deceives fuckin' with me

(On the dead homies) My enemies dying

(On the dead homies) My enemies dying

(On the dead homies) My enemies dying

(On the dead homies) My enemies die

[Verse 1]

They say a mission ain't a mission if nobody drop

And if a nigga ain't snitching, then we all gon' walk

If you ain't risking it for death, then it's just all talk

And automatically I dust that nigga off in the dark

You ever look a nigga right in his eye before you give him

His last words he spoke

That's you the motherfucking realest, fuck that

I cock it and I blast close range

It's a homicide now, it's a murder on my name

I write my prints off the barrel of the gun

And then I flee, your heart turned numb just from the liquor and weed

See, we don't brag about the kill, we just count the codes

And every one that we took out got a story that's told

You be asking why now (You be asking why now)

Why is momma cryin' loud? (Why your momma cry loud?)

You know the hood is hostile (You know the hood is hostile)

All you hearing is pow-pow (Brr, oh yeah)

I'm still accomplishing goals

I'm out-seeking those folks strapped

Gotta let off because I'm still raw

Never fell on my knees for shit

I still demand shit with this Daz Dillinger

Killin' ya for your shit

[Chorus]

Now a mission ain't a mission if nobody ride

And a mission ain't a mission if nobody die

And a mission ain't complete if the enemy don't sleep

Enemies rest in peace, deceives fuckin' with me

(On the dead homies) My enemies dying

(On the dead homies) My enemies dying

(On the dead homies) My enemies dying

(On the dead homies) My enemies die

[Verse 2]

I ain't choose this life, it was chose for me

I was born in sin and baptized in these Long Beach streets

Ten toes down nigga, yeah, I stood in the war

You see them bullets flyin' crazy? They respect me more

So now tied to a code that just can't be broke

Any opp for runnin' through is automatically gettin' smoked

Booyah, kick it off with a 12-gauge slug

So who the fuck that you thought it was? Motherfuckers

Niggas is wild

You know these bitches is lame

I fuck around with real niggas

You fuck with triggers and bangs

Right off the top on a nigga

Blowing out all his brains

You know the Dogg Pound's a gang, dat nigga Daz is the name

See I don't see why (See I don't see why)

This is how the G'z ride (This is how the G'z ride)

You know it's Long Beach, Eastside (You know it's Long Beach, Eastside)

You know the real niggas outside (You know we outside, outside)

[Chorus]

Now a mission ain't a mission if nobody ride

And a mission ain't a mission if nobody die

And a mission ain't complete if the enemy don't sleep

Enemies rest in peace, deceives fuckin' with me

(On the dead homies) My enemies dying

(On the dead homies) My enemies dying

(On the dead homies) My enemies dying

(On the dead homies) My enemies die

[Outro]

Uh, in this gang bang world that we live in

You either ride or get rolled on

You trust nobody, I mean trust nobody

Love rarely

And walk with the precision of a motherfuckin' gangsta

Head up, chest out

Haha, bitch
