The Wire

I was only five but I still cried
When bodie killed wallace

It taught me that everyone you come across ain't too solid

Gotta check these niggas front to back
Cuz niggas two sided

Remember back when michael killed snoop

I thought that mike was wil'n
Then I got older, and I realized everyone ain't riding

Only got the coup for the team, not everyone can ride in

I been through some shit that fucked me up
So pain is what I'm hiding

Ask me how I been, if I say good
Just know I might be lying

I know how it goes, these bitches hoes
But shit I still be trying

Niggas breaking code, man they ain't bro
Don't ask me if I'm sliding

I be reading niggas like a book
That's why I'm always silent

Pray to god, and hope I don't get booked
I hate when mommy crying
I done seen and made my momma cry
At least a thousand times
The shit she cry about, I still do
I know I'm outta line
Cross me once, that's your first and last

And that's bottom line
Not a front, I'll leave you in the past
If you trying mine

I just want my pockets fat as fuck
The size of rod wave

Pockets so fat, I'm stepping in the crib sideways

In the field, gloves, throwing bullets, that's how I play

Pick you up a stick, fore you get blitz
And laying side ways NBA, Life, NFL

They all mind games

Niggas get, 21 that's hard to over come

In the gym, not the only time we shooting some

Would've thought this team a band
The way we play with sticks and drums

I was hype to be a man
Now I'm a man
This shit ain't fun

Had a plan
To get some bands
I got me grams
To sell you some

If we fam
Or you my mans
I got you
You don't owe me one

If you cheating and they know
You prolly ain't the only one

Don't got the password to her phone

Then shit you ain't the only one

She gone let you fuck, you smoke her up
And roll her one

If you can blow a bag, and pour her up
You getting some

These niggas down bad, real bad
Cuz UE done

Mhh - Mhhh
Don't you get caught up in the wire
When you in the streets you playing with fire

You gone die
If you get caught in the wire
So watch your back
You gone die or end up a lone survivor
Niggas switching sides they ain't really riding
One wrong move
And niggas gone get divided

When you in the streets
The first thing that they teach
Is don't be snitching

Mommy said don't bring that in the house
I heard, but never listened

I ain't trusting love
Cuz I done fucked a couple niggas bitches

Why put trust in cuz when my own cuz
Done robbed me and went missing

I would never beg a man for shit
Cuz ass ain't what I'm kissing

Cousin couldn't cook
But from that kitchen
He was getting chicken

18 on the look
For the bitches
I was in the mission

Now I'm seeking books
For me spitting
Hoping someone listen

Mhh - Mhhh
Don't you get caught up in the wire
When you in the streets you playing with fire

You gone die
If you get caught in the wire
So watch your back
You gone die or end up a lone survivor
Niggas switching sides they ain't really riding
One wrong move
And niggas gone get divided
