[Intro: Brother Minister A. Samad Muhammad & RBX]

Either you choose life, or you choose death

Either you choose life, or you choose death

Based on the decision that you make

God has come and offered you life

Your enemy can only offer you death (Row)

If you choose to stay with your enemy, then you choose death (Deathrow)

If you choose to leave the enemy and strike out into the unknown (Into the unknown)


[Chorus: Tommy Wright III]

Die motherfucker, 'cause you knew this was a do or die

Either you gon' die or I'm gon' die

I-I-It's a homicide

Die motherfucker, 'cause you knew this was a do or die

Either you gon' die or I'm gon' die

I-I-It's a homicide

Die motherfucker, 'cause you knew this was a do or die

Either you gon' die or I'm gon' die

I-I-It's a homicide

Die motherfucker, 'cause you knew this was a do or die

Either you gon' die or I'm gon' die

I-I-It's a homicide


[Verse 1: Dirty Red]

In my situation of total devastation

Spread my hustle all across the motherfuckin' nation

Niggas wanna click up, it don't matter 'cause you'll get buck

I'm tryna make some bone first, 'cause I'm tearin' patches out yo heart

When you start to stir like you come from Corner Village

Blood gon' start to spillin', my Gat gon' start to drillin'

Niggas in the head with that infrared beamin'

Blood is steady streamin', you fuckin' with a demon

Niggas, I, and murderers in the South is where I dwell

With plenty of clientele, and I got them Gats as well

So don't try to run up, 'cause I'm quick to pull that gun up

I'm askin' questions last, 'cause I'm sure as hell gon' blast

A nigga in the past with that motherfuckin' dumb-shit

You don't know who you fuckin' with, I roam with a gangster clique

D-I-R-T-Y-R-E-D is not afraid of you hoes

You gon' die or I'm gon' die, and that's just how the story goes


[Interlude: Dirty Red]

Yeah, Dirty Red up in this bitch

And I want you boys to know on Corner Village

I'm not runnin', and I'm not hidin' from neither one of you hoes

You know I'm sayin', a nigga look for me if they want to or get they ass blast

What's up my nigga Lil' Bay?


[Chorus: Tommy Wright III]

Die motherfucker, 'cause you knew this was a do or die

Either you gon' die or I'm gon' die

I-I-It's a homicide

Die motherfucker, 'cause you knew this was a do or die

Either you gon' die or I'm gon' die

I-I-It's a homicide

Die motherfucker, 'cause you knew this was a do or die

Either you gon' die or I'm gon' die

I-I-It's a homicide

Die motherfucker, 'cause you knew this was a do or die

Either you gon' die or I'm gon' die

I-I-It's a homicide


[Verse 2: Tommy Wright III]

Down for my crown, ten toes down, Tommy ain't givin' a fuck

Runnin' and gunnin' a TEC in my coat

When I open my trench if a nigga's best built

Niggas who trippin' and scrapin'

A bullet on side of they face just for fuckin' with Tommy

The nigga that's creepin' and sneakin' and peekin'

And bustin' wide seekin' the beautiful money

Isn't it funny how a nigga get scared?

Watch me put a forty-five to a nigga head

"Please don't shoot", first thing that he say

Then he hit his knees and begin to pray

Trick, quit cryin' on my motherfuckin' grain

Here leave him at a stand still once he hear it cock

Look him in the face, put the gun between his eyes

Piss runnin' down his leg, Tommy Wright ain't surprise

Do or die, cause a hizzno gotta go in the mist of the pistol smoke

Mind of a criminal makin' me dog out a dirty ho

When I be going for broke

Die motherfucker, die motherfucker, die

Since that day I seen Boyz In Tha Hood

I always wanted to do a drive-by

Buck a nigga down to the ground hangin' out the sunroof

With the Glock cocked ready, aim, fire

Grippin' the .44, lookin' from side to side

Tryna find victims to be in a drive-by

On a mission, as I creep deep with a clique thick as John Gotti

Doggin' the bitches and hoggin' the riches

And fillin' these ditches with dead bodies


[Interlude: Tommy Wright III]

Straight from a hood called Memphis, Tennessee

Do or die, no lie, this shit ain't gon' stop 'til my casket drop

One man gang, Tommy Wright III known as Tommy Three

Down with Ten Wanted Men 'til the world end

Street Smart in charge


[Chorus: Tommy Wright II]

Die motherfucker, 'cause you knew this was a do or die

Either you gon' die or I'm gon' die

I-I-It's a homicide

Die motherfucker, 'cause you knew this was a do or die

Either you gon' die or I'm gon' die

I-I-It's a homicide

Die motherfucker, 'cause you knew this was a do or die

Either you gon' die or I'm gon' die

I-I-It's a homicide

Die motherfucker, 'cause you knew this was a do or die

Either you gon' die or I'm gon' die

I-I-It's a homicide


[Verse 3: Project Pimp]

Thinkin' of a plan, do or die, you can try

Project Pimp gon' spill your blood

Comin' through the door, who is that?

Finna blast with the mask, got on O.J. gloves

Lunatic, lunatic beggin' for mercy, one hit, now yo' Tommys, they covered with holes

Psycho Pimp maniac, devious, ready to shoot a bitch, leavin' yo' family froze

P to the R, to the O-J-E-C-T to the P-I-M-P, blast

Four to the four with the scope to ya face

What you say? I'm finna kill your ass

Fillin' you up with hollow tips

If you play, nigga, you'll probably catch a slug

Fuckin' with one of these Hill niggas, die

Nigga, makin' you lose a pint of blood

Jumpin' up outta the Chevy, the buckshots will scatter and leavin' you dead in the street

Project Pimp buckin' you bitches so quickly puttin' you sissy-ass bitches to sleep

Lockin' him up in the trunk for those nights

He was screamin' and hollerin' I know he was scared

Forty-four buck in the trunk outta luck

No more bitchin', I'll note that this nigga was dead

Runnin' and gunnin', fuck runnin'

It funny how suckers can call themselves killers and thugs

Blastin' that ho he was snitchin'

He got a gun fillin' him up wid them forty-four slugs

Killin' and pimpin' it's all in my system

So bitches and niggas got trouble for real

Rest in peace, sucker, don't fuck with me

Project Pimp, nigga, you only got one life to live, bitch
