THINK TWICE

Gotta be still while the world move around me
Mom shook from the city, got a crib in the county
Troops chasin' after youths, odee for a bounty
Kids dyin' every day where I'm from, and it's crowded
Never thought I'd need a gun, but now I'm thinking 'bout it
Tried to show the lil' bro love, kicked the door to my house in
Rio was only 21, knew he couldn't leave without it
He kept it in his pocket

And yeah, I'm a fighter, but I don't wanna fight
But you could lose your life bein' a nice guy
And so I take these precautions, I can't think twice
'Cause if you up that (boom, boom, boom-boom-boom)
You can't think twice, can't think twice (twice)
You can't think twice (twice, twice)

I was like five, seen my-, grab the- from the kitchen drawer
Probably nine, hearin' shots, me and mom duckin' to the floor
Ten, 11, huggin' fades dolo right at my front door
13, seen life leave a body laid on our porch
Got a new lease on mine, I thought I'd shake it off
For sure be an optimist, but not delusional

And yeah, I'm a fighter, but I don't wanna fight
Still you could lose your life bein' a nice guy
And so I take these precautions, I can't think twice
'Cause if you up that (boom, boom, boom-boom)
You can't think twice, can't think twice (twice)
You can't think twice (twice, twice)
