Gang Signs

When them gang signs go up

You see your life flash right before your eyes

And you know what?

That's how it is on the West side

When them gang signs go up

So many of my **** died

Better watch what you throw up

**** talkin' all that shit

But when them gang signs go up

You see your life flash right before your eyes

And you know what?

That's how it is on the West side

When them gang signs go up

Dear God, I know not what I've done

Through my thoughts, my actions

And the things that I've said

Sometimes by mistake and sometimes on purpose, amen

Got my mind on this murder, Impala so gassed up

Got a black MAC-11 and it hit like a Mack truck

Product of bad luck played out on that movie screen

And a scope for some killers, almost died from moving green

My mama a felon, my daddy so long gone

My grandmama died at 18, left me all alone

All I got is my guns, bandanas, and weed

Left me with two dead brothers, my enemies gon' bleed

I'm messed up, suicidal, rest in peace to Hayes

Wasn't no killers, swear my **** seen some better days

But California have you stressed out, a million ways to die

Gotta pull that vest out

'Cause when them gang signs go up

You see your life flash right before your eyes

And you know what?

That's how it is on the West side

When them gang signs go up

So many of my **** died

Better watch what you throw up

**** talkin' all that shit

But when them gang signs go up

You see your life flash right before your eyes

And you know what?

That's how it is on the West side

When them gang signs go up

Fuck **** gon' die, speakin' homicide

Laid out in the street, let his mama cry

White chalk, black street

Red rack, coke killer, watch 'em leak

Black on black crime, killin' our own brothers

But what the fuck can we do when you got on the wrong colors?

Take a breath, inhale, let it go, lights off

And then it probably hit the switch, lay it low

Soon as you walk out the crib, we gon' blast

Hit the 110, it matter one time on your ass

In four minutes, you thought that you got away with it

If all that shit was a dream, let us pray

'Cause when them gang signs go up

You see your life flash right before your eyes

And you know what?

That's how it is on the West side

When them gang signs go up

So many of my **** died

Better watch what you throw up

**** talkin' all that shit

But when them gang signs go up

You see your life flash right before your eyes

And you know what?

That's how it is on the West side

When them gang signs go up
