[Verse 1]

(Nothin' but that dope shit)

Pass the gin and imma twist

Surprise mother fucker the way you least expected

Fully keyed off the weed never fully rested

I keep my mask on when I'm on the backstreet

Cause these niggas be running more games than a fucking track meet

Last year they found my nigga with a slug in his back

So when they mug me I cock my shit and mug back

I thought you knew you was fucking with the rapper legionary

P-A jump on my program you're getting buried

Mr nice guy ain't that a bitch

Rich niggas ain't nice, nice niggas die quick

Smile now cry later

Stay on the weed and never let the jealous motherfuckers fade ya

I live my life with me in mind only

I got loved ones that's resting their boots cause they ain't got no homies

I thought you knew I was the best that ever did it

I stuck with it, while them other niggas quit it

I tried to tell them to get they cash on

Stack a grip flip a low whip and nigga get your smash on

Now these niggas wanna blast on me

And the LC and that's why I keep my fucking mask on


[Chorus]

50 Gs in my stash

Life in the fast

Rain making cash

Gotta keep my mask

Only thing gon last

Runnin from the task

When they come to blast

Nigga have your mask


[Verse 2]

Nowadays it seems like, getting harder to keep a steady hand

But now I'm ready man out to get my fetty man

When they look it'll be the last spot

That they check for my protection

Called a stash spot

Now I keep several slugs in my action

Never caught slippin when relaxin, huh

Don't bring your ass to the dark side, the ghetto

I can't wait to catch you slippin in the park right

Hello Mr po-po, don't try to keep me from my one double zero

Tryna be a racist ass hero

Fuckin with these jackers

That come up and murder ya just like that

Raise up of the black I'm back up so I jumped his dirty ass

I never caught a murder beef

And no I never plan to either

You catch a hole in your head

Before I leave you dead on the sidewalk

And never ever ever will

I talk a foolproof plan for this outlaw

I stay up quick and get my cash on

I'm a realist motherfucker

That's why I keep my fuckin mask


[Chorus]

50 Gs in my stash

Life in the fast

Rain making cash

Gotta keep my mask

Only thing gon last

Runnin from the task

When they come to blast

Nigga have your mask


[Interlude]

Yeah doe, my muthafuckin mask


[Verse 3]

Niggas look crazier than a motherfucker

So what you expect when I be runnin I keep my shit up on the undercover

Ready to blast, it ain't a mystery

The man behind the mask, trick ass, just made history

Lakawana dope I was in Vallejo at the telly six

Twisted off the md that rose town melly shit

And what you know it's going down for a jackin

I'm peeping these niggas gameplan, in the car maxin

Security slipping when that first one hit the door

He see the barrel of that bitch that 45

And then they hit the floor

See back in the ooh

(Hey man don't stop playa that shit's dope, mayne)

See back in the day when I needed money fast

I turned a beating to a mask

Grab the dope and weighs it got some cash

There's a liquor store, walk around the back door

I'm low on cash flow so I'm about to jack mo

Give up the cash nigga do it fast

Since the ballers drinkin heed give me dap

And a pack of zags

I caught you slippin when the task was gone

Three eighty on that ass bitch

With my motherfuckin mask


[Chorus]

50 Gs in my stash

Life in the fast

Rain making cash

Gotta keep my mask

Only thing gon last

Runnin from the task

When they come to blast

Nigga have your mask


[Outro]

Link Crew for the one ninety nine five

L-C-N Link Crew niggas

Regulate, penetrate, never ever pimpetrating

Only illustrate, the game

And the game we dominate

And that's real

Y-B-B bitch
