Chorus:
|
First the gun draws, then you know something's happening
|
Then darkness falls and oh,
|
Your heart beats rapidly.
|
Be prepared because war is coming.
|
You can't be scared now when the streets is calling you.
|
|
Verse 1:
|
Good evening, my name is Mr. Bullet
|
I respond to the index when you pull it
|
The trigger So make a note, take a vote.
|
Quick mane, nicknames, quaker oats cuz
|
Whether domestic violence or coke deals
|
See how less has changed brain matter to oatmeal
|
And when I kill kids they say shame on me.
|
Who the fuck told you to put their names on me
|
White man made me venom to eliminate
|
Specially, When I'm in the hood I never discriminate
|
Just get en em than I renovate
|
Flesh bone ain't nothing for me to penetrate.
|
And it can happen so swiftly,
|
One false move just might shift me.
|
If I'm in- logged and your souls not claimed
|
I will remind that ass when it's about to rain like...
|
|
Chorus:
|
First the gun draws, then you know something's happening
|
Then darkness falls and oh,
|
Your heart beats rapidly.
|
Be prepared because war is coming.
|
You can't be scared now when the streets is calling you.

Verse 2:
|
Would the new method of murda be arson or fire bombs
|
If the cost of a single bullet was more than a firearm,
|
Strange that is when all exits are final,
|
Point blank range that is,
|
My attitude is cold and callus
|
Killed kings in TN, presidents in Dallas
|
And if the past be known at last we know
|
What happened that afternoon on the grassy knoll,
|
It's what made a widow of Jackie O.
|
The government hired Lee Harvey to blast me though.
|
Fatally shot entered from the right temple
|
Was not fired from a 6 story window.
|
Can it be that it was all so simple
|
But yet remains so painful to rekindle.
|
I come through your city I'm hot
|
Whether you're jiggy or not,
|
Whether you're Biggie or Pac.
|
When the gun draws.
|
|
Chorus:
|
First the gun draws, then you know something's happening
|
Then darkness falls and oh,
|
Your heart beats rapidly.
|
Be prepared because war is coming.
|
You can't be scared now when the streets is calling you.
