Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, keep that
Huh, what a mess
Yeah, I see you (Primo)
Yeah, I was blessed with some clarity right?
Uh-huh, I'ma sit back
Tell you **** what I been looking at, huh
[Verse 2]
Y'all **** is killin' me
You got Bloods and Crips in New York City, is anybody feeling me?
I ain't concerned with who gon' shoot who
I'm only concerned with music and who break through
Fuck you for thinking platinum is the ultimate goal
These faggot **** getting they money, but losing they soul
I don't wanna hear shit from you **** with no background
No backbones, you get no chance to back down
Deal how we deal wit cha, peons, no chips
Changing whips out so they can look richer
I see the big picture, starting in the kitchen
With brick and pyrex pots, the widescreen edition
Listen, I see **** hit with so much time, loc
They have to die and come back three times to see them white folks
Take notes 'cause you will be tested
Vested up, drunk as fuck, large caliber weapons
I feel you, rap ****, fuckin' it up
Monkey-mouthed muh'fuckers, spoilin' the cut
The real **** in the street really hustlin' weight
See they networks and blueprints on hip-hop tapes
Johnny Law catching on, soakin' up the game
How you think they find the stash spots and follow the slang, stupid?
Grown men playin' cops and robbers
Death for dollars, I'm too laid back to holla
[Verse 3]
What a mess
What a mess
[Verse 4]
Look at what we leaving behind
We back at square one, ridin' with nuttin' to ride fo'
Dyin' for nuttin' worth dyin' fo'
The blind lead the blind with a blindfold, with eyes wide shut
Save mine up 'cause nothing ever last forever
Never nothing out of my reach, we blast whoever
I can split a muh'fucker from his ass to his last thought
Shit talk then stomp through the asphalt
It's yo' fault we tow-truck for your outline
In due time, you'll find the world is mine
So I listen to the rhetoric, jealousy, and the ignorance
Can't stop me ****, my mind too militant
God blessed me with a chin
And a heavy right-left combination that'll cave your face in
So don't make me hurt you, patience is virtue
They only got a few of us left, huh
[Verse 5]
What a mess
What a mess
[Verse 6]
Turn me up
Now it's 2002, where kids do whatever the fuck they wanna do
Huh, sad but true
Wanna take another life like it's the thing to do
Shit, we the biggest gang, flaggin' red, white, and blue, baby
Designer drugs, pimps, and thugs
Can't shoot, innocent folks hit with slugs
One day, it's gon' all make sense, till then
Use your brains and your strength, it's your best defense, c'mon
[Verse 7]
What a mess
What a mess
