Well where I stay its like basehead Heaven
|
Brothers clock dollars 24-7
|
Some get caught and some don't
|
Some'll make big money, some won't
|
Some bite the bullet the hard way
|
Brothers play the game of death but don't know how to play
|
Money in ya pocket can't roll cause you're square
|
Livin day to day is a black man's dare
|
Money things and jealousy's a big parta life
|
You thought you was the man till they stabbed you with a knife
|
They took ya whole stack for a piece crack
|
Brothas don't know how to act, watch ya back
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
They gonna get you, you betta watch ya back
|
They gonna get you, you betta watch ya back
|
They gonna get you, you betta watch ya back
|
They gonna get you, you betta watch ya back
|
|
Grow up in the ghetto actin savage
|
When junkies smoked dope and murder was average
|
How could you cope in the city of dope
|
Young brotha hangin from a tree by a rope
|
Ya sellin pound to pound earnin nothin but a name
|
In the streets ya got fame, but the chilla all the same
|
Flashin cash and thinkin you're on top
|
But you fell to the bottom when the gun went pop
|
A brotha who's nothin will always have nothin thats a fact
|
People don't know how to act, watch ya back
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
Walkin down the street around 12 at night
|
Tryin to sell rocks but ain't a base head in sight
|
One pops up from outta nowhere
|
And then another and another and another
|
Shoulda watcha back like a soldier
|
I told ya
|
They're gonna getcha brotha
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|

Watch Ya Back
