Niggas don't wanna try me brotha you'll get shot down. Now i'm kick'en tha block cause my bigger brothers locked down. I'm hot now so many punk police have got shot down. Other cops see me on tha block and they jock now. That's what I call a kingpin. Send my brotha what he needs is some weed up ta season. Tell him just be ready set pack ya shit up quick. And when I hit be prepared ta jet. Niggas from tha block on tha boat now. Every single one got a gun that'll smoke pow. These punks about ta get hit by tha best.

We get surrounded in tha mess hall yes ya'll. A crazy motherfucka makin' death calls. Just bring me my brother and we leavin. For every minute you stall one ya'll bleedin'. They brought my brother in a jiffy. I took a cop just in case things got tricky. And just as we was walken out I caught a bullet in tha head. Tha screams never left my mouth. My brother caught a bullet too. I think he gonna pull through he deserve to. Tha fast life ain't everything they told ya. Never get much older following tha tracks of a soulja. . Chorus.
