[Intro: Havoc]

Yeah

Infamous in ya area

Eightball in ya area

About to cause mass hysteria

Yo... yo...


[Verse 1: Havoc]

Yo, ashes to ashes, big gats to little

I put it to you clear, while you cats talk in riddles

Think of buckin' me?

If you did, I'd say you got lucky

Trained to tread through lands that get muddy


[Verse 2: Prodigy]

Aiyyo, blood rap

Survival of the fit style cat

I puts it down, blow a round at your baseball hat

P., niggas saying damn why I be like that?

Listen close, you can learn from it – it's real, black


[Verse 3: Eightball]

Gangsta shit makes the world rotate

Izz-Eight Bizz-all make a nigga wanna gain some weight

Fat belly black motherfuckin' D-O-G

And I'ma thug for them young niggas thuggin' for me

[Chorus 1: Prodigy & Havoc, Prodigy]

Aiyyo, fuck where you at, kid, it's where you from

'Cause where we from, niggas pack nothing but the big guns

To all my Queens dunns, niggas who pump drugs

To all the housing projects who rep for they hood


[Verse 4: Eightball]

Live and direct, from the South to your stereo

Prepare for bustin' and dumpin' – okay, player, here we go

Strapped with infa-red raps when I hit the traps

Crack the wack into pieces when I hit the track

Like stone to glass, I shatter they raggedy ass

South style, waving my motherfuckin' soldier rag

A hard illustration of my brutal lifestyle

Memphis, Tenn' made a lot of niggas buck wild

The root to all evil, daily I chase it

Blow it on weed and drank, then hustle to replace it

It's hard from the start, where I lay my head

We get rowdy and bust shots 'til we raise the dead

[Chorus 2: Havoc & Prodigy, Eightball]

Fuck where you at, kid, it's where you from

'Cause where we from niggas pack nothing but the big guns

To all my gold grill niggas and my trill niggas

South to East, we keep it hard for them real niggas


[Verse 5: Havoc]

Feel me though, you don't want to get filled up with holes

Moms filling out surgery card, blowing her nose

Wiping the tears 'cause something on your top got shot

Should have brought along wit' you what you'd loaned on the block

Fuck leaving without it, dunn, I'd rather get knocked

Or charged with a ten-body, 'fore a nigga get shot

For a weak-ass bitch? Fuck that little whore

Even though she get my dick harder than the Parole Board

Stick and move, slide in, slide out – big guns

Mack milly prepare to mob you, steel Phillies

Connected with Eightball, dunn, so what's the drilly?

Out to take it all, if you wit' me, then feel me


[Verse 6: Prodigy]

Don't get yourself shot

Bleedin' to death, hops

I pop cannons off, leave a nigga head whopped

A maverick, my H.K. will work magic

You'll find yourself in the O.R. for talkin' that shit

Street justice, I tip the scale over, cousin

I hold more weight, you just a no-name nigga, frontin'

Get your hardware, let's treat it like a contest

And we can dance 'til one of us drop from being hit

Murda Muzik, my street life influenced it

It's so real, bredren, I wouldn't test it, I rep it

A renegade, crack your top like devil spray

Vigilante niggas know the song I sing – it go...

[Chorus 3: Prodigy & Havoc, Eightball]

Fuck where you at, kid, it's where you from

'Cause where we from, niggas pack nothing but the big guns

No mistakes for the fake, no escape

Chop them boys up and put it in their face

[Chorus 4: Prodigy & Havoc, Prodigy]

Fuck where you at, kid, it's where you from

'Cause where we from, niggas pack nothing but the big guns

To all my ice pick niggas, one

To all my dunns trying to get the fuck up out of the sprungs

[Chorus 1: Prodigy & Havoc, Prodigy]

Fuck where you at, kid, it's where you from

'Cause where we from, niggas pack nothing but the big guns

To all my Queens dunns, niggas who pump drugs

To all the housing projects who rep for they hood

[Chorus 2: Havoc & Prodigy, Eightball]

Fuck where you at, kid, it's where you from

'Cause where we from niggas pack nothing but the big guns

To all my gold grill niggas and my trill niggas

South to East, we keep it hard for them real niggas


[Outro: Eightball]

Ugh – South to East, we keep it hard for them real niggas
