Around here, you gotta have guns,
Around here, you gotta be strong,
around here they ain't playing
Around here, you gotta roll deep,
around here you gets robbed
Around here, little homies pulling straps,
drug dealers getting taxed
Around here, suckers get folded,
from the peace when they sleep
Gangsta youngsters and cheat up kings,
by the time I was nine or six
she looked tight in the day,
paid the pushers with her pussy
Bout those around here on some shit that pays,
hardcore maridas and the cocaine trade
Rolling six fours, ones with four doors
Lacks of regals, gangsters steal
Threw a rat a la onda, he got drowned
A rato, marijuana shipments
Around here they call it heavy
Hooters watch their backs,
they don't wanna get snuffed
They don't gamble with their lives,
they don't pay them enough
Around here, you gotta have guns
Around here, you gotta be strong
Rhyme here, they ain't playin'
Rhyme here, you gotta roll deep
rhyme here, you gets robbed
Rhyme here, little homies pullin' straps
drug dealers gettin' taxed
Yeah, punks get beat up, clothes are
G'd up Chuck Taylor kicks,
all my homeboys already hit
Learned from old schoolers
Homies with green lights,
Had his brother do the highland garden
keep the high power books fat
Metal middles trippin' cause I rap
my kids need clothes on their backs
My best friend's Beretta,
this the war that's lasted forever
Around here, you gotta have guns
Around here, you gotta be strong
Around here, they ain't playin'
Around here, you gotta roll deep
Around here, you get robbed
Around here, little homies pullin' straps
Drug dealers gettin' taxed
You learn the ropes from the G's
By watchin' and listenin'
To catch a homie slippin'
And shoot me while I'm pissin'
I'm on a mission that don't
Lookin' for the spot where I can
sleep with no bullshittin'
Show me the spot with no heroin
Where all the bad things I do
Is there a race in all these prison situations?
Streets is raw, you gotta be tough
put a bullet in his stuff
is let it rain in your rhyme book
Cats get whacked for dollar
Man I'm serious, nobody counts around here
