Daddy ain't around probably out doin' crack
10
And Scarface told me a snitch is just like a rat
11
Wanna live good so he snitched on thugs
12
Somebody must have told him steroids wasn't a drug
13
Walk around town everyday in that snitch coat
14
Put niggas behind bars but homie that ain't dope
15
Now he toss and turn in his sleep at night
16
Wake up in the morning watch Cops and Miami Vice

Different day same snitch ain't nothin' good in the hood
18
He'd run away from New York and never come back if he could

On the grill of my low rider

Kill Banks on my song and really do it

That's the true meaning of a ghost rider
32
Ten g's will take Yayo out his Air Forces
33
Believe in me homie I know all about losses
34
I'm from Compton where the wrong colours be cautious
35
One phone call will have his body broke in parts and
36
I stay strapped like car seats

Target50 Cent
MeaningWhat it means: In “Put Compton on my back when you was in need of soldiers,” The Game uses place and local affiliation to decide who can credibly represent the scene challenged in the song. Why it was said: The Game attacks 50 Cent and G-Unit after his removal from the group and the collapse of their public reconciliation. The feud is presented as larger than two individuals, so the line asks listeners to treat 50 Cent as an outsider or a poor representative of the claimed community.
