    it’s another record check it mad method
    to put my brothers and sisters on a deathbed
    you know he cheated took what he wanted but now you blunted
    suckin’ up to the devil steppin’ down a level
    it’s who they fear is you
    who protects us from us and you from you
    yes and it counts fuck the forty ounce
    i sued them bastards yeah they got bounced
    i did ’em like a demo threw ’em out the window
    i took a 98 ’cause i never liked a limo
    but pump pump pump pupump pump it up
    a mad rhyme for mad times that’s what’s up
    some ain’t gonna change i got ’em in a range

    go grandmama close but no cigar
    i got mine for i’m using my rhyme
    the flow go wherever i want and that’s clever
    give a piece of my time to prevent some crime
    and who’s behind putting the guns to the young ones
    the ones that make ’em is the ones that take ’em
    rugged for no reason down in duck season
    i don’t want my mama on the street wearing armor
    so check yourself before ya wreck yourself
    respect yourself ha you gotta give it up
