Just To Get a Rep

Stick up kids, it's time to tax

Stick up kids, it's time to tax

Stick up kids, it's time to tax

And this is how the story goes

Brothers are amused by other brothers' reps

But the thing they know best is where the gun is kept

Because in the night, you'll feel fright,

And at the sight of a 4/5th, I guess you just might

Wanna do a dance or two

'Cause he could maybe bust you for self or with a crew

No matter if you or your brother's a star

He could pop you and jet without a getaway car

And some might say that he's a dummy

But he's sticking you and taking all of your money

It's a daily operation, he might be loose in the park

Or lurking at the train station

Mad brothers know his name, so he thinks he got a little fame

From the stick-up game, and while we're blaming society

He's at a party with his man, they got their eye on the gold chain

That the next men's wearing, it looks big but they ain't staring

Just thinking of a way and went to get the brother

They'll be long gone before the kid recovers

And back around the way, he'll have the chain on his neck

Claimin' respect, just to get a rep

Stick up kids, it's time to tax

Stick up kids, it's time to tax

Stick up kids, it's time to tax

(And this is how the story goes)

Ten brothers in a circle had the kid trapped

The one with the hoodie said, "We'll hurt you"

If you don't run out your dues and pay

Give up the Rolex watch or you won't see another day

See, they were on the attack and one said,

"Yo, you wanna make this to a homicide rap?"

Make it fast so we can be on our way

Kick in the rings and everything, okay?

The kid was nervous and flinchin', and little Shorty with the .38, yo

He was inching, closer and closer, put the gun to his head

Shorty was down to catch a body instead

Money was scared so he panicked

Took off his link and his rings, and ran frantic

But Shorty said,"Now", pull the trigger and stepped

It was nothing, he did it just to get a rep

Stick up kids, it's time to tax

Stick up kids, it's time to tax

Stick up kids, it's time to tax

Stick up kids, it's time to tax
