Lyrics
Juvenile:
Juvenile introduces the setting.
It's enemy turf that I'm on, so I'ma play it how it go
Acknowledges being in hostile territory, planning to adapt.
Cock the hollow points into my black calico
Preparing a firearm for defense.
Hit the coat with some of grams of that dope fo' sho' it's bout to go
Preparing drugs for distribution, expecting imminent action.
Niggaz graduated from sellin' dope to snortin' dope
Commentary on the progression from selling to using drugs.
Gangsta be bustin' heads
Various individuals involved in violence.
Lil Reggie be bustin' heads
-K.C., he be bustin' heads
-Think I ain't 'bout nustin' heads
Asserting readiness for violence.
Boddies bled, I'll put infrared up in your Cutlass
Threatening to use a gun equipped with an infrared scope.
You play with 226, that's my clique so I say fuck it
Declaring loyalty to a specific group, disregarding consequences.
Ruckus, war deep, World War III in the mix
Describing intense conflict akin to a global war.
5 Hot Boy$ runnin', bringin' G's to they clique
Members of a group bringing money (G's) to their clique.
With them hundred round tip-tips, to make sure niggaz ain't breathin'
Armed with ammunition designed to ensure fatalities.
You recievin', a punishment for not believin'
Receiving punishment for disbelief or lack of trust.
Curly head lookin' for me, cause I'm hot and word don' got loose
Being pursued due to reputation and leaked information.
Bundles of dope fronted, from the Magnolia to the Goose
Transporting drugs from one area to another.
Snitches wanted to testify the shit that they know
Informants willing to testify about their knowledge.
Set a bomb on the front door, put a key in the door and the place blow
Planning a destructive retaliation against informants.
Look I been walkin' way mo', with a coat full of yeh-yo
Increased involvement in illegal activities.
Nothin' but clientele, from 11-5, sale
Engaging in consistent illegal drug sales.
You don't think it's legal, nigga we can take it to the scale
Challenging legality, offering to weigh drugs to verify legality.
You gon' double your money, gon' get credit make your bail
Promising profit and credit for drug transactions.
Chorus: Juvenile (4x)
Reiteration of readiness to use a firearm in threatening situations.
With that iron, I'ma roll wit' 'em, momma don't pray for me
Asserting readiness to confront danger, acknowledging potential consequences.
I don't back down frome no nigga, they got a place for me
Acknowledging a willingness to face adversaries.
Juvenile:
Sharing personal history about upbringing and influences.
My biological father, was a sperm donor, around the corner
Describing a complex family situation and upbringing.
Was the man that killed lil Lanny, who knew we'd understand it
-That way that, my mother was heartless to her kids
-So he took us in his home, and he raised like his own
-Now we grown, and we learned responsibility,
Learning and embracing responsibility as adults.
The devil tryed to get wit me
Reflection on facing challenges and temptations.
To affect all of my dickin' inability
-But it's gon' be some shit, when a collision is occurin'
-Asurin', of me bein' a factor, through '97 and after
-And I'ma have to, get my ten percent
-Or I'ma get punished, like the rest of these niggaz and there's evidence
-'Cause ever since all these cars and all these mansions, and all these
Highlighting ingratitude for life's blessings.
luxuries was givin'
-You wasn't givin' no thanks, to the reason you was livin'
-So I'ma keep an open mind and make the right decision
Commitment to making wise choices for personal well-being.
And ain't tell you niggaz shit, and put my self in a position
Avoiding unnecessary disclosure of personal information.
That's unescapable, 'cause you capable, of puttin' my life in danger
-And it's causin' confusion, confusion draw conclusion
Discussing the consequences of confusion and conflict.
And shootin' up some niggaz that pose a threat
-Until somebody warns you that you're close to death
Being warned of imminent danger.
Chorus: Juvenile (4x)
Reiteration of readiness to confront danger.
Mannie Fresh:
Another artist entering the narrative with a dismissive attitude.
Don't love ya, don't need ya, so why the fuck would I feed ya
Expressing disdain for superficial relationships and success.
You bitches want my riches, delete ya
-Cause it's movin', it's shakin' number one spot takin'
-Rap shite tight and money we be makin'
-Clock six figures, with brown beats and triggers
-Drinkin' from the riggers, poppa said the gon' fig us
-Everything I make, and everything I drive
-Everything I scratch and everything I ride
-Touch it, , live for it, you niggaz kill for it
-The new Juve tape, got you hoes loosin' weight
-Can't get your life straight, music to masturbate
-Juvenile:
Confidence in facing challenges with warnings to adversaries.
Test a, nigga like me boy and you better
Confidence, determination, and control over personal decisions.
Have on your bulletproof sweater, ridin' in an armored Jetta
-Beware of these, thugs in E's
-Everytime you breathe you recievin' a part of me
-Look, my lyrics be combustable like gases
-When I'm grabbin' for the mic and performin' for your masses
-I'm never found on the ship that's steady sinkin'
-Total control and all about self my way of thinkin'
-Bankin', off top, runnin' with them boys from the block
Asserting control over life choices and associations.
Totin' glocks that we only use when we put on the spot
-Now I got, a reason to live for than to die
-Keepin' a tight inventory on my supply, of gettin' high
-Know when to stop, don't want to be it, can't even see it
-Not even them little niggaz that I be wit'
-Chorus: Juvenile (10x)
Repeated emphasis on readiness to confront danger.
I'm gettin' tired, of this bulshit that we hearin'
Expressing weariness and readiness to face challenges without fear.
I'm gettin' tired, 'bout to get my iron ready to ride
-Ready to ride
-Ready to ride
-Ready to ride, lil wodie
-Momma don't pray for me, I don't back down frome no nigga
-Momma don't pray for me, I don't back down frome no nigga
-Momma don't pray for me, I don't back down frome no nigga
