This is my family; This is my family, my family/ This is my family; This is my family, my family
-Layzie Bone-
Lord, help make up my mind/ Which way do I turn when there's so much stress surroundin' me daily? This world so cruel and shady, and I really do miss my baby, Babi Boi/ Oh boy, me and your bigger brother, we keeps it realer/ You'll always be our lil’ nigga, and I know your Mama miss ya/ Picture the day when I get my callin' but until then, I guess I'm stuck, oh fuck/ Let T know I miss him much/When I get to heaven, Babi Boi, what's up? We can ride and roll, I know, without those po po trailin' bailin' all the way to heaven, bet you that's a promise/ Comin' with the bombs (bombs) Niggas can't test us/ Creep, defeat is all you'll meet/ Rollin' with the niggas that pack the heat and a sack of weed, straight outta control/ Testin' souls, hoes, niggeroes, playa haters, and the po po as well/ Nigga need mail everybody mail/ Am I livin' in Hell? Nigga really can't tell, so I prepare for the worst and hope for the best, and the rest is written/ Some wanna treat me like I'm forbidden, but I'm just lookin' for the shit that's hidden/ Could it be? Come a little bit closer/ Why you cautious when you approach us? Is you scared of the fact we' soldiers? Mo! Thug Records fin to take shit over/ Under my halo, pray more, say Mo! Thug with love to the depth that game goes/ Die all of you hoes, foes, and you po po's/ Nigga, better rolled or get rolled over, we shuttin' shit down/ And you know a nigga love to get buckwild/ Pow! Come fuck with me, now, now, now
-Chorus-
-Bizzy Bone-
Thuggin’ lovesick/ My hood is in drug prison/The end is my mission, we heatin' shit/ Why vision? Been crooked, creatin' sin is beginnin' of my endin'/ I went in my Benz but why's my mind spinnin'? And then I'll say "Hey, fuck it" My family ain't live for nothin' but strugglin' was one of the reasons I'm thuggin' instead of stayed hustlin'/ Where was my lovin'? Somebody tell me somethin' good for nothin'/ If I give you, wouldn’t you touch/ Will you buck it all up for the love of lust? Hoes, I love you so, but unlike my friend you're just my foe/ Peace till the end of the road, that's where I'll go/ But no, nigga, don't lose your soul/ But it's so cold/ Trust in mine, all right, then we can roll, roll, roll
-Chorus-
-Wish Bone-
Was you too young, mama and daddy, when you laid down and had some eggs? And I remember y'all breakin' up and shippin' us off back to The Land/ Damn, what went wrong? Was it me? But I ain't mad at you cuz outta all this shit/ I got 2 sisters and a brother and I learned to harmony on the streets of the Clair; That's where I'm from, y'all/ On the streets of the Clair; That's where I met Mo! Thugs, y'all/ Oh, shit! Time to be a man/ Gotta get out the house cause I stand Mommy's man; He talks with his hand/ Come, come creep on the streets with me/ This where I learned how to sell drugs/ It's where I learned how to pump slugs/ It's necessary, necessary for me to get down for mine; So I creep and I grind/ Knock, knock; Kickin' down doors/ Kill a nigga sleep, give it up when you die and I know that shit was wrong but don't blame me, blame the thugsta in me cause that's where that shit comes from (comes from) Bloody redrum/ Nigga, we nothin' but survivors/ Rest in peace to the gauge/ They collide with us; We survivors, that's why we be...
-Chorus-
-Krayzie Bone-
Get ready to duck, bitch, or get fucked up/ Boy, don't fuck around, and get zipped in a body bag/ Off in a grave and your brains'll be hangin' damaged bodies dragged off/ Everyday we see more niggas hatin' fakin' playa hation, that's gettin' contagious/ Why do these niggas think they can break us? When I grab my pump y'all niggas better try to grab what's left of your chest/ Niggas be talkin' and then they get caught up in shit, now meet them Faces of Death/ We let 'em keep talkin' and they dogged us, man, it's all the same/ But what do we gain by givin' you niggas fame? So we let the records show/ The forty-four mag'll tag 'em, stack up them niggas who try to compete with platinum harmony/ Callin' me, follow me down to me corner, slip up and your gonna get blasted/ What do you wanna test me for? Jealousy? Nigga, drop/ Nigga, we bet you plottin', that's why them triggers be cocked everytime/ Shoot 'em ninety-nine times out of a hundred we gon' hit somebody /Somebody gon' take a strippin' yeah/ Y'all niggas get carried off with the bodies/ Mo! Mighty, y'all find us smokin' that grass/ Nigga, pass the pump/ Hey, Rip, he takin' a loss and wakin' up in that coffin/ Oh, nigga, that's why all of these playa hate us, man, but when we come, they run/ Well, we're gonna catch 'em, and one day God forgive me, I don't know what got in me, but pin me, they're gonna all fall down, way down, face down/ Ain't got nothin' but love, still niggas wanna test my nuts, and nigga you know that (that, that, that, you know we didn't know that, that, that) Said nigga you know that (That, that, that) them thugstas niggas (I figured you'd know that, that, that, that) stay strapped (Strapped) won't hestitate (You niggas should know that, that, that, that) to bust back (Yeah, yeah, yeah, my niggas they know that, we know that ...) It's nineteen ninety nine nine nine... It's almost nineteen ninetey nine nine nine...
