    [Intro]

    03

  4. 11

    [Verse 1]

    12

    I was a snotty nose, nappy head, dirtball nigga

    13

    Saying I can't wait 'til I get a little bigger

    14

    After niggas jumped me bumping my head

    15

    Thinking I wish I had a gun, I fill a nigga with lead

  5. 16

    Took a kitchen knife to [school] finna poke me a nigga

    17

    Wishing I had a gun so I could smoke me a nigga

    18

    Sold my first five quarter gram pieces in the alley

    19

    Where Bizzy had the Bondeville and Kev had the Caddy

  6. 20

    Now those were the days, when crime really paid

    21

    The nine milli sprayed, I got the fuck out the way

    22

    From shootout to shootout, the bricks went fast

    23

    Robberies went bad, niggas got blast

  7. 24

    Niggas kidnapped Drew grandpa kid

    25

    Came through and shot Ms. Leak in the head

    26

    You wonder why I got a gun?

    27

    So I can get down for mine

  8. 28

    You need that, out on the grind all the time

  9. 29

    [Hook]

    30

    They say I'm grimy, I'm greasy

    31

    I make a one-eight-seven look easy

    32

    Fuck that, I lay my murder game down

    33

    Push me nigga, see what I'm about

  10. 34

    They say I'm grimy, I'm greasy

    Push me nigga, see what I'm about

  11. 38

    [Verse 2]

    39

    It was Kangols, Cazelli shades, Pumas and corn braids

    40

    Doo-rags on the waist, brass knuckles, switchblades

    41

    Ski mask to get paid, new shells to get sprayed

    42

    Hoodrats to get laid, money to get made

  12. 43

    Yeah, yeah I had a dream

    44

    I was rich, woke up broke, gun in my hand

    45

    Saying ''damn, dope cost sixty a gram'

    46

    I got to find me a nigga, line me a nigga

  13. 47

    And say "give it up kid, before I put one in your wig"

    48

    Picture me thirsty, riding 'round foaming out the mouth

    49

    Saying "I don't get on, I'mma lay a nigga out"

    50

    Now diamonds are beautiful and pearls are precious

  14. 51

    I hit you and your bitch both over your necklace

    Multi-line diss block
    52

    I'm wreckless, I spray the semi drunk off Henny

    53

    Wipe your blood off the shines, run and sell 'em to Benny

    54

    Fuck with me, y'all niggas know Boo Boo get busy

    Block noteImagines the battle as physical destruction
