Too Big and the Hammer rollin' on a hit

Knives in our hands to the sound of the click
|
And now we're ready, we hit the swoove

Windows ease down we spray their crews
|

Eight fools dead, a baby too
|
You ask me how I'm livin', this hit's for you
|
But that's not all we got the prize
|
A mother in a kitchen, now yo, she's dead inside
|

Yeah, we took them suckers out

They know what time it is now

Too Big and the Hammer kickin' it at the club
|
Boastin' about the way that we pulled those sucker's plugs
|
We weren't worried, naw, we didn't care
|
When you're in this war, yo, all is fair
|
|
A tap on my shoulder, I turn around
|
Too Big is dyin' fast, he's on the ground
|
I reach for my gat, it was too late
|
The knives went pointblank range in my face
|
|
Yo, they opened fire and took me out
|
Somebody tell my mother, I love her, man

Scene III, the pimpin' game
|
|
Now I'm pimpin' these berries, got to get that money
|
Those suckers still payin' for a little bit of honey

Nothin' in this world can stop my flow
|
AIDS ain't done nothin' but help my business grow
|
|
My babes are trained to make that dollar
|
To take you out, fool, it ain't no bother
|
You dropped your pants and you pay the price
|
Your money maybe AIDS, fool, and then your life

Yeah, that's right 'cause a pimp got to make it

Scene IV, the pimp got took out by Barry's brother
|
|
We got this tip on some new fresh bait
|
Money in their heads and they could hardly wait
|
My girls went to their room to make the play
|
Two suckers at once, yeah, would make my day
|
|
Now I'm outside some suckers walk up
|
Talkin' real hard about smokin' my butt
|
He pushed the button, the blade came out
|
Cut me on my throat and then a bullet in my mouth
|
|
I guess the devil got all the babes in hell
|
Maybe he'll let me work with him? Ssh
|
|
Crime stories
|
I'm tellin' ya, man, you get no glory
|
'Cause I'm not gonna mislead my young brothers
|
Crime stories, if you've ever been locked up
|
You know the true stories, no glory
|
And I'd like to say this before we get outta here
|
|
To my brothers in the game, my brothers
|
Who are out there doin' what they feel they've got to do
|
I wanna ask you one favor, let's let the young kids 10, 11, 12 years old
|
Let's let them go on and do their thing at the schoolhouse
|
|
Let's give them a chance to make it
|
Let's give them a chance at a different life
|
You doin' what you feel you have to do
|
But they youngsters and they don't know any better
|
|
So we want to give them a chance to live
|
I mean life is precious, and you know that yourself
|
And you try to make a better life for yourself
|
|
So what I'm sayin' this from the bottom of my heart, let the kids be
|
Help the children lead to another way
|
And peace from you and I love you and I'm outta here
