[English]

Aight, this round two right here

Or you could say two-point-five

But this that Get Back Gang shit, you feel me?

For real

Now who tryna fuck around? (Who?)

Fuck with us and get fucked around

Headshots if you duckin' down (Boom)

Then we shoot at the fuckin' ground

See, folks 'nem be killin' shit (Whacked)

Whack the target and the witnesses (Whacked)

We don't believe in no half dones

If we start somethin', then we finish it (Huh)

If it's beef, then we gotta cook it

Killin' niggas a hobby to me (It is)

I got shorties that's loyal

Them boys catchin' bodies for me (For real)

See, niggas be 'flauging (They 'flauge)

Like they want some problems (They don't, problems)

But that ain't no problem (For real)

My niggas, they starvin' (They starvin')

Them niggas is monsters (They is)

With the glizzies they marchin' (Boom, boom)

And if you actin' retarded

Then pistols get sparkin' (They do)

Ain't talkin' revolvers

Spot 'em, I got 'em (I got 'em)

I gotta problem, I solve it

I take 'em out like the garbage

See, they catchin' bodies for me, me (They is)

They catchin' bodies for me, me (My kids)

They catchin' bodies for me, me (My soul)

Do not get bodied for me (Bitch)

Bitch, all I know is the hard way (For real)

Any action we part take (We do)

Well protected like All State (For real)

We got chopper like Harley (We do)

Might shoot up the party

Then we chillin' in hallways

Hit a nigga in the back of his head

Leave his dreads like a bald fade (Boom, boom, boom, boom)

Shots fired, niggas panickin'

Bodies droppin', niggas scramblin' (Get out of there)

Leave him stiff like a mannequin

No need for a ambulance (Huh)

Free Zoo, boy, we all gorillas (Free him)

We be shootin' at all the killers (We do)

And my killers, we all familiar (They is)

You get killed if you not familiar (Who is you?)

Out the way when we come through (Move)

Still in the way, then we slump you (Boom)

Hockey sticks and them drums too

Chopper sound like a drum too (Brrah, boom)

All I know is murk niggas

We be comin' like the purge, nigga

Tweak in the streets and your ass get left on the curb, nigga

(Fuck you thought, bitch?)

See, niggas be 'flauging

Like they want some problems

But that ain't no problem

My niggas, they starvin' (Okay)

Them niggas is monsters

With the glizzies they marchin'

And if you actin' retarded (For real)

Then pistols get sparkin' (Get killed)

Ain't talkin' revolvers (For real)

Spot 'em, I got 'em

I gotta problem, I solve it

I take 'em out like the garbage

See, they catchin' bodies for me, me

(They is)

They catchin' bodies for me, me (They is)

They catchin' bodies for me, me (My shorties)

They catchin' bodies for me, me (My kids)

Do not get bodied for me, me

Do not get bodied for me, me (Please, for real)

Do not get bodied for me (Please)

'Cause they catchin' bodies for me (They is)

Do or die, do or die, nigga

Who gon' ride, who gon' ride, nigga?

Tell the truth, don't lie, nigga

Homicide at your side, nigga

'Cause if they trick you, you gon' die, nigga

For real, for real

Shoot to kill

For real, for real
