From player to player, the game's tight, the feeling's mutual 
From hustlin and prayers, to breakin [bad word] to pay-up

That's what they screamin as they drill me, but I'm hard to kill 
So open fire, I see you kill me (that's all you niggaz got?) witness my steel 
Spittin at adversaries envious and after me 
I'd rather die before they catchin me, watch me bleed  [bad word] rescue me I'm suicidal thinkin thoughts 
I'm innocent, so there'll be bullets flyin when I'm caught 
(Shoot!) [bad word] doin jail time, better day, sacrifice 
Won't get a chance to do me like they did my [bad word] Tyson 
Thuggin for life and if you right then [bad word] die for it 
Let them other brothers try, at least you tried for it 
When it's time to die to be a man you pick the way you leave  [bad word] peace and the police, my ambitions as a ridah
