Finish the lyrics Yeah, I know
You be posted up from Sunday to Saturday night
Started hanging with the members then you blew a few pipes
And you gone do the dash if you see them blue lights
A lot of people dying and it's a chance that you might
You got God on your side but it's hard to do right
Don't pay them haters no mind, you can be what you like
Tryna leave this in the past grinding for a new life
Hard headed I grew up resilient
It wasn't no heroes, so we look up to the villains
For generations, b i tch, my side of town been drillin'
We been at war ever since them red buildings
It's hard to make peace once blood get to spillin', ayy
