[Verse 1: Novatore]

Violence is easy, I got homies that kill for

In two years we chilled once, doesn't matter, it's still war

If disrespect is given out I'll catch you in the mouth

You lyin' on the floor stiff, done quick like a stillborn

Yeah, I've gotten drunk and been a dick

That doesn't mean I wouldn't have their back regardless of the benefit

You been a snitch, I never was, my name, it holds weight

Your last name is Arnold and your first name is Benedict

I've done drugs and sold drugs, I chill with known thugs

Killers and convicts, I've been a suspect and owned guns

Fuck a dialogue, when shit gets really real

I feel that fists are necessary, I'll call the cops, fuck you silly still

So how you really feel out in the field?

If you fuck around with killers holdin' steel, you could get really killed

Ain't overzealous like I used to be (Nah!)

But a piece of shit scumbag is something I refuse to be


[Chorus: Novatore]

We ain't the perfect type, we both have done dirt

But certain lines are crossed and we gon' take you out your comfort

Scum to some although we heroes to many

Fuck an enemy but friends, we'd never pocket a penny (Never!)

We ain't the perfect type, we both have done dirt

But certain lines are crossed and we gon' take you out your comfort

Scum to some although we heroes to many

Fuck an enemy but friends, we'd never pocket a penny


[Verse 2: Nightwalker]

Uhh! More famous in the streets for violence than for rockin' beats

I went to war with cops before I owned stocks and properties

Studied Carlin's comedies and Tyson's uppercuts

And beat the shit out of the older kids that fucked with us

Armed robberies, puffin' dust, wrist cuffed, mouth shut, earned my brother's trust

My best case was a six-five split, told 'em suck my dick, I won't sign shit

My cellie slit somebody's fuckin' throat dead up

In court Grimm’s pops call me a faggot 'cause I dressed up

It's still funny but that's a real story, until this fuckin' day I bet they'd still kill for me

And I'd do the same, no questions asked, reputations fade and first impressions last

I used to be depressed, now I'm obsessed with cash

Remember always keep it movin' but never forget your past


[Chorus: Novatore]

We ain't the perfect type, we both have done dirt

But certain lines are crossed and we gon' take you out your comfort

Scum to some although we heroes to many

Fuck an enemy but friends, we'd never pocket a penny (Never!)

We ain't the perfect type, we both have done dirt

But certain lines are crossed and we gon' take you out your comfort

Scum to some although we heroes to many

Fuck an enemy but friends, we'd never pocket a penny


[Verse 3: Novatore]

Know me and Walker, we're bombin' a stalker

And I ain't talkin' just a looker but the type who would go from a gawker

To a creep who you see peepin' through windows

We catch you on the creeper, we'll leave you sleepin' like Benzos

Go ape shit 'cause we ain't down with that rape shit

It's alien to some so we'll descend from a spaceship

Yeah! And give a rapist a facelift, we do this work for free as if we came off a slave ship

We lovin' to do this even if we ain't paid shit, it's a full time to sever slime and we workin' grave shift

We raise fists, I beat a fucker 'til my knuckles bloody

If he take the money out the pockets of a brother of me

So keep it cool or you can get it in fists

And this is just because I'm nice 'cause you can get it in sticks (Blaaow! Blaaow!)

Might say I'm sick and just a little disgusting

If they say I stand for nothing you can bet it's a fuckin' myth


[Chorus: Novatore]

We ain't the perfect type, we both have done dirt

But certain lines are crossed and we gon' take you out your comfort

Scum to some although we heroes to many

Fuck an enemy but friends, we'd never pocket a penny (Never!)

We ain't the perfect type, we both have done dirt

But certain lines are crossed and we gon' take you out your comfort

Scum to some although we heroes to many

Fuck an enemy but friends, we'd never pocket a penny
