livin the motherfuckin trife life Don't have another day right? It's only
right Let me put you on to what happens Son never believe this shit Kick
that shit
[Prodigy] It's just another day drownin my troubles with a
forty That's when I got the call from this brownskin shorty She asked me
where's my crew at? Said we could do whatever She got her crew too, and said
that we should get together I said, "Aight -- just call me back in a
hour so I can take a shower and gather up the manpower" Then I hung up
the horn And I thought to myself that it might be on Cause this trick
ain't pick up the phone to call me in years (Why?) Ever since I left the hoe
lonely in tears Ain't no tellin what her friends puttin up in her
ears Ideas of settin me up, I'm not tryin ta hear (Check it out, Son) So
we take the gats for precautions Plus this trick live in Brooklyn, home of
the coffin She might got a whole batallion of Bucktowners Waitin for us
to get up off the train and surround us Or maybe, I'm blowin this shit out
of proportion But this shit do happen, to niggaz very often So fuck it, a
nigga gotta do what he meant to My crew got my back, fuck the world is my
mental We put together five soldiers, the bitch called My blood curdled,
told me to meet her on Myrtle Got to the plaza, we're waitin for the G
train We put a plan together, just in case the beef came Now we Bed Stuy
bound Far from home and on unknown ground But together we six deep, with
fire piece, nuttin sweet First nigga frontin gettin lifted off his fuckin
feet It took eternity, we reached our destination My heartbeat is racin
like a cardiac patient We finally got to Myrtle outside the train
station I saw not a soul, told my peoples to be patient But hold up,
thats when a black caravan rolled up My legs then froze up, I grabbed my
pound Told my man, "Eyes open cause it might go down" Said he don't like
the way the shit is startin to sound Evey angle of the car was smoked out
and tinted So we couldn't tell if the enemy was in it It mighta been TNT,
I wasn't tryin to wait and see, we jetted thru Marcy cause Dee's ain't baggin
me Word Son, they got us on the run, Dunn, see yo
Chorus:
Check
it out, check it out, check it out, yo Trife life got me thinkin like an
animal No doubt, no doubt, no doubt, no doubt yo What can kill you is
what you don't know
[Havoc] OK check it, you're on your way to your
girl's crib But the bitch live in the 'Bridge You ain't really sweatin
it, cause little do you know The niggaz in the 'Bridge be settin it You
thought you was safe and tried to walk the backstreets without heat on the
41st Side (settin it) of 12th Street The cyber-niggaz don't give a
fuck Decide well if you come thru frontin, kid you gettin bucked On your
way, to apartment 3A with a phat herringbone, let him slide, no days Son
get the heat, cause I'm about to stick em (Fuck that shit, yo if that nigga
front, yo hit him!) Aight bet, so just hold it down while I cock back the
long three pound You're upstairs bonin, not knowin that I'm scheamin Just
the right time kid, it's twelve in the evenin You're leavin out the buildin
as you kiss your girl goodbye Thought you was safe and got caught by
surprised "What's goin on?", as I reply, "Shut the fuck up and don't make
this 'to another homicide" He tried to play tough so I put one in his
brain Even though I took his life, all I wanted was the chain Come
through truck without heat, how you figure? When you in the projects keep
your fingers on the trigger But fuck that we're juxin, if you got what we
like you gets tooken Put you on your back, send you on your way, yo good
lookin Now be catchin the cap that holes in ya Lewis in Brooklyn Gettin
to' up from the flo' up, hit the dress sto' up Got the 80-0 in case a nigga
wanna roll up Get'cha motherfuckin shit swoll up Now it's back to Queens
to serve fiends Makin G's by any means, my eyes on my enemies Sippin
Hennessey, with my mind on some crime shit One-time searchin me but never
ever find shit It's the everyday, get the loot then breeze Though my goal
is to leave outta state, push ki's But all this bullshit holdin me down, I
can't leave Fuck a 9-to-5, I get the loot with ease Don't even need a
degree to earn a six-digit figure I get mines slingin on the corner with my
niggaz Pullin the trigger when the drama appears Cause that nigga worse
enemy is FEAR So yo....
Chorus
No doubt, so what can kill you
is what you don't know.. [ad lib to outro] |
