**Lyrics**
[Intro]

Hello

*Yo.*

Who this?

*I need 30.*

You need 30 what?

*I need 30.*

Yeah, aight.

Yeah! 30!

Snitches 2

DROGAS, DROGAS, DROGAS

THOT 97, n\*\*\*a, what!

[Hook]

30 ki's, a hundred ki's

Janitor, your n\*\*\*a a star

But the police is his manager, you got a dope bitch

Her favorite rapper from Canada, but she snitchin' too

In her Gucci bag is that a camera

Like oh no, oh no

What you tell that bitch?

Oh no, oh no

What you show that bitch?

Oh no, oh no

Why you look so sick?

Oh no, oh no

'Cause it's over with

[Verse 1]

She's down with ya, wore the crown with ya

They roped her in with some old shit

Credit card fraud back in '06

She was telling them that she ain't know shit

She was gettin' mad and unfocused

Their trump card is some ho shit

They told her that they take kids

And that's when she folded

Exploded, exposed it

Everything that she noticed

Prosecutors was watching

Through the mirror while she told this

That's the case n\*\*\*a, let's close this

Still gave her time and that's bogus

She was in the car when they pulled up

And popped trunk and unloaded like

[Hook]

30 ki's, a hundred ki's

Janitor, your n\*\*\*a a star

But the police is his manager, you got a dope bitch

Her favorite rapper from Canada, but she snitchin' too

In her Gucci bag is that a camera

Like oh no, oh no

What you tell that bitch?

Oh no, oh no

What you show that bitch?

Oh no, oh no

Why you look so sick?

Oh no, oh no

'Cause it's over with

[Verse 2]

There's good n\*\*\*as, bad weakness

He's talking bout who they sleep with

He killed a n\*\*\*a in a heartbeat

But he couldn't keep no secrets

He's no good for your defenses

He's steady with that chopper

When them cops got him in that precinct

That's when he fell to pieces

Name all in those papers

Signed a recording deal with them majors

He's confirming all of your capers

While you's dropping down all that data

Tryna get right with his saviors

He was giving life to his neighbors

Just like CPR, oh my god

Goodness, gracious

[Hook]

30 ki's, a hundred ki's

Janitor, your n\*\*\*a a star

But the police is his manager, you got a dope bitch

Her favorite rapper from Canada, but she snitchin' too

In her Gucci bag is that a camera

Like oh no, oh no

What you tell that bitch?

Oh no, oh no

What you show that bitch?

Oh no, oh no

Why you look so sick?

Oh no, oh no

'Cause it's over with

[Verse 3]

In the strip club with them agents

Not the ones that was taking pictures

But that main one that you came with

Showin' off all his entertainment

He was recording all of your statements

He was taking all of your payments

Right back to the evidence room

While you was booing all in his faces

You was losing all of your cases, losing all of your cases

You was winning with them bitches but you was losing all of your cases

Ain't no rules at all in the Matrix

Ain't no truth and ain't nothin sacred

Know you're the only one with that paper

People moving all in your places

Looking for

[Hook]

30 ki's, a hundred ki's

Janitor, your n\*\*\*a a star

But the police is his manager, you got a dope bitch

Her favorite rapper from Canada, but she snitchin' too

In her Gucci bag is that a camera

Like oh no, oh no

What you tell that bitch?

Oh no, oh no

What you show that bitch?

Oh no, oh no

Why you look so sick?

Oh no, oh no

'Cause it's over with
