Hellrazor

Major, hell mother fuckin' yeah!
This one goes out to my nigger Mike Cooley. Hell yeah!

Born thuggin', heartless and mean, muggin' at 16,
on the scene watching fiends buggin'.
Kicking up dust with the older G's,
soaking up the game that was told to me.
I ain't never touched a gat that I couldn't shoot.
I learned not to trust the bitches from the prostitutes.
Was taught lessons. A young nigga asking questions.
While other suckas was guessing I was gangsta sexin'.
Elementary wasn't meant for me, can't regret it.
I'm headed for the penitentiary
and cuttin' class and I'm fuckin' blastin' straight mashin'.
Mobbing through the overpass laughing.
While these other motherfuckers try to figure out.
No doubt, they jealous of a nigga's clout.
Tell me Lord, can you feel me?
'I keep my finger on the trigger
'cause some niggers' tryin' to kill me.
And mama raised a hellraiser.
Every day getting paid. Police on my pager,
I'm straight stressing.
A fugitive, my occupation is under question.
Wanted for investigation.
And even though I'm marked for death,
I'ma spark 'til I lose my breath.
Motherfuckers, every time I see the paper, I see my picture.
When a nigger's gettin' richer they come to get you.
It's like a motherfuckin' trap,
and they wonder why it's hard being black.

Dear Lord, can you feel me?
Stress gettin' major,
Mama raised a hellraiser.

Stress gettin' major
Lord be my savior,
Mama raised a hellraiser
(4 times)

Dear Lord can ya feel me
Stress gettin' major
Mama raised a hellraiser
Stress gettin' major


Tell me Lord can you feel me? Show a sign.
Damn near running out of time, everybody's dying.
Mama raised a hellraiser.
I can't figure out why you let the police beat down niggas.
I'm startin' to think all the rich in the world is safe.
While the po' babies rushing into early graves.
God, come save the youth,
ain't nothing else to do but have faith in you.
Dear Lord, I live the life of a thug. Hope you understand.
Forgive me for my mistakes. I gotta play my hand,
and my hand's on a 16 shot,
semiautomatic, crooked-cop killin' Glock.
Tell me Lord, can you feel me? Show a way.
I'm praying but my enemies won't go away,
and everywhere I turn I see niggas burned.
Every nigga that I know's on death row.
My younger homie's 17 and he paid a price.
Li'l young motherfucker doing triple life.
Though I tell him in his letters "It's getting better."
If my nigga knew the truth he'd hit the roof.
Just heard your baby's mama was smoked out,
Fuck the drama. Wanna bring my loc out.
Smoking blunts, getting drunk off that Tanqueray gin,
'bout to break my nigga out the fuckin' pen.

Mama raised a hellraiser
Come on, mama raised a hellraiser
Dear Lord can you feel me

Stress gettin' major
Lord be my savior,
Mama raised a hellraiser
(3 times)

Stress gettin' major
Dear Lord, can ya hear me?

It's just me.
A young nigga tryin' to make it on these rough streets.
I'm on my knees beggin' please come and save me.
The whole world done made a nigga crazy.
I got my .357 can't control it,
screaming "Die motherfucker!" and he's loaded
Everybody run for cover I cause shit
Thug life motherfucker, I duck quick.
Now am I wrong? If I am, it don't worry me.
'Cause do or die, getting high 'til they bury me.
Dear Lord, if you hear me tell me why
a li'l girl like Natasha had to die.
She never got to see the bullet, just heard the shot.
Her little body couldn't take it, it shook and dropped.
And when I saw it on the news how she bucked a girl killer, Tasha.
Now I'm screaming "Fuck the world!"
In the end it's my friends
that flip-flop, lip locked
on my dick when my shit drop.
Thug life mother fucker, I lick shots.
Every nigger on my block drop two cops.
Dear Lord, can you hear me?
When I die, let a nigga be strapped, fucked up, and high,
with my hands on the trigger, thug nigga.
Stressing like a mother fucking drug dealer,
and even in the darkest nights, I'm a thug for life.
I got the heart to fight now.
Mama raised a hellraiser, why cry?
That's just life in the ghetto, do or die.
