I saw a homie at the store; he say he came up
Ain't seen him in a couple years; look how he changed up
He got that hang tough; He throwin' gangs up
Red tee and red shoe-strings; My homie flamed up
He sellin' drugs now; He reppin' blood now
He run with thugs; plus he beefin' with the 'cuz now
Small as a bug; but he swear to god he bloodhound
Thug love here to anybody throwing blood down
Got partners who been murdered for it; yet he still claim
'Cuz that could never happen to him; he the real thing
Until that steel bang; and then he feel pain
And get killed for real thinkin' he Lil Wayne
And then it's real change; you won't be the same, brother
You'll be in real flames; I don't mean your gang colors
Forget your gang c**ture; This is my appeal, man
Call on the Lord while you live; You can still change
[Chorus]
You say you represent and down to die for your hood
But take a second guess if you die, it ain't good
Your sins ain't been confessed, you don't know God like you should
And ain't no second tries when you lying in that wood
You a gangster (gangster) in need of a change
You say bangin' ain't a thing
But your gang ain't a good look
(Gangster, gangster) Is it worth eternal flames? It should make you want to change.
Naw, man, it ain't a good look (Straight gangster)
You got that [????]; and you cap to the left
You feel that fire in your bones; with that [strap?] in your belt
Your homies make you feel strong; you will clap to the death
The robbers catch you all alone; you will scrap by yourself
'Cuz you a soldier; Catch 'em slipping low, show them boys you rep blue
You ain't got no problem provin' you ain't [who to step to?]
Drive by the crib; hang out the window; let the check loose
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat; Who ever put that on your tattoo?
Really is your mind intact? It's silly pullin [nines?] on cats?
To kill him over nothing but a color; you gonna die for that?
Believing you gonna skip the judgement throne; and go where God is at
Like God is whack and just gonna let you slide with these ungodly acts?
Don't be deceived; Yeah, deception is a mug, ain't it?
You say you love your G; but sin got your love tainted
Look at Beelzebub's [puppy?] got the cuz bangin
But when your soul is thirsty, hate can feel like love, can't it?
[Chorus]
OK, I swear you know the ____; This don't make no sense to me
That color is your guide, cuz that's where you find your identity
It controls your activities; Your block is your _____
It's just colors; yet risking your life for it gives you dignity
OK, listen, let's say for instance, you die for this entity
And dig a grave and choirs _____ organ players symphony
Your partners blow some smoke and pour some drink out in your memory
But what good does that ___ for you when you and God are enemies?
Man, you got a dilemma; You face God as a sinner
Place your eye on his ____ guilty without a defender
Once was loud as a blender; Now your violence has dwindled
A gang member lost your soul being proud of a symbol
Dang! Don't sell your soul for it, man
'Cuz your master is the one who gets control of your brain
They'll tag your name in honor since you rolled for the gang
But your face on a shirt won't make up for your soul in the flames
Ain't seen him in a couple years; look how he changed up
He got that hang tough; He throwin' gangs up
Red tee and red shoe-strings; My homie flamed up
He sellin' drugs now; He reppin' blood now
He run with thugs; plus he beefin' with the 'cuz now
Small as a bug; but he swear to god he bloodhound
Thug love here to anybody throwing blood down
