[Verse 1]

Ayo I'm focused, it's the locust

O. Trice is holding the soldiers, the prognosis

Probably why I rose from zero to hope

Cause I was wide eyed and open nosed on my approach

Nigga, hold the toast you provoke

44 Snub hugs my scrotum when I roll

Yes I hold my own, so if you think you Deebo's clone

I'm aimin, watch I'm switchin to Damon

And Next Friday I can bet you's a changed man

When them thangs in hand, it's not a game man

I ghost ya, I bring ya much closer to Jehovah

Definition of a soldier, I told ya

I, hold the toast when I approach

It's close at all times by my side in the holster

O-ster roast ya, make me blow my composure

Pop, it's all over, when the 44 blows and goes a..


[Hook]

When I'm up in the club and these niggas, they wanna act tough

'til they get plugged, watch them bullets go...

Now you touched from a slug, huggin the streets like you in love

Your heart rate's like...

The ambulance arrive

They rush you to the 'spital, flyin by my ride, engine like...

Homie you just died, your family through crying

I pulled off a crime, just as quick as...


[Verse 2]

You could lose your face, in a fool's race

I pulled my tool first nigga, you was in second place

And second place just means you didn't react with haste

And this differentiates life where murder being the case

And since murder was the case, it just means niggas erase

Another black mother can't eat the food on her plate

Cause she ain't got the taste as if raising you was a waste

"Such a short span young man" said at your wake

First I'm a man, second I'm five eight

But size and weight won't give a nigga the upper hand

Cause when I pop, I give this up like Barry Sand

Sit in the can, he never ran like Barry Sand

Obie ain't playin, Obie got a plan

And the plan is not to be layin in earth's land

I will pop before decayin in earth's land

You get shot for playin me less than a man, mothafucka

[Verse 3]

Niggas get it twisted, liquor make 'em envision

That gangsterism is disrespecting a niggas wishes

Which is all that tough talk in front of bitches

Yeah you fifteen deep, the Desert E'll give ya stitches

And I can be all the bitches and hoes you wanna

But I warn ya the Glock could make it hot as California

You be popped on the corner, flesh meeting in the coroner

O's in quarantine, cause no holes in me

An' since no holes in me, niggas take advantage

'til I manage to pull that hammer out, they start scattering

I'm no gangster, I'm a average man

But be damned if I let 'em do me savage man

Before that I'm strapped and will challenge him

Cock back and that gat will damage them

It's not a act, this is fact, this is how I'm programmed

This is me, what I'm about, this who I am, motherfucker
