Lyrics

216, Hahaha, my ****

Yeah, you should know we don't play that

You should know we where them nines and A.K.'s at

It's all about the payback, you should know when you see it

How many **** wanna blow just to be it

That's why I think you should know

You should know we don't play that

You should know we where them nines and A.K.'s at

It's all about the payback, you should know when you see it

How many **** wanna blow just to be it

That's why I think you should know

Makin it clear, you haters beware

You got beef but then we takin it there

Hope you stayin prepared, it ain't fair

We throwin tables and chairs, or better

Yet we throw them things in the air

So what you want now? Chump better duck down

'Fore we get to dumpin, pull that pump out the trunk - BLAOW!

Dumb ****, use yo' brains for once

'Fore them pigeons use yo' brains for lunch

Fuck around and rearrange yo' fronts

Man you probably skip town

Gettin it how you live, where that cocky shit now, huh?

Price to pay for bein a man in charge

You can't build a rocket and expect to land on Mars

See I seen yo' kind come and go, think you runnin the show

But you just runnin for the man that's frontin the flow

Don't understand it but why should I stutter you fo'?

I'm just tryin to get my money to grow, c'mon

Yeah, you should know we don't play that

You should know we where them nines and A.K.'s at

It's all about the payback, you should know when you see it

How many **** wanna blow just to be it

That's why I think you should know

You should know we don't play that

You should know we where them nines and A.K.'s at

It's all about the payback, you should know when you see it

How many **** wanna blow just to be it

That's why I think you should know

Yeah, revenge is sweet but to kill 'em is useless

I'd rather whoop his ass and drag him in the middle of Euclid

Ass naked with your socks dirty, I coulda used a Glock 30

Punched your clock early but I know your block heard me

My **** told you dawg, we takin it there

Like Jim Jones did to Ma$e on the air

Eyes closed, hands folded but it ain't for a prayer

You layin stiff in your casket

Cause with these **** can get what they askin

This the year for the underdog, so watch how you come across

Quiet down man, SoundScan, let them numbers talk

What's goin on in rap? I don't know

But a conspiracy here if I don't blow

I'm snatchin up the marketin staff, the publicist let's try once mo'

Get it right or the fo'-five gon' show, we mean business ****

With that said, only time'll tell

But when pressed I go at the best like I'm Bosley Wells

You should know

Yeah, you should know we don't play that

You should know we where them nines and A.K.'s at

It's all about the payback, you should know when you see it

How many **** wanna blow just to be it

That's why I think you should know

You should know we don't play that

You should know we where them nines and A.K.'s at

It's all about the payback, you should know when you see it

How many **** wanna blow just to be it

That's why I think you should know

Cleveland's no longer the butt of your jokes

From now on I'm callin **** out in front of they folks (for real)

You can see it in our eyes that we want it

Not rhymin for enjoyment but these **** lives dependin on it

Damn, god damn, we deserve some hope

'Stead of workin minimum wage or servin some coke

You can put this on every word that I wrote

I'm tellin you now if my squad don't advance

You got a problem on your hands ****

Yeah fam you should stop with the lies

I'd be rich if I had a quarter for

Everybody who thought 'Pac was alive

He'll live on, let his music connect us

But I wonder how he'd feel to know this white boy producin his records

These 48 I solemnly swear

To take you back to the essence of rap if ****'ll follow me there

Cause the game's overcrowded with squares, it's time for that to pass

Hope they hear me loud and clear with they non-rappin ass

Yeah, you should know we don't play that

You should know we where them nines and A.K.'s at

It's all about the payback, you should know when you see it

How many **** wanna blow just to be it

That's why I think you should know

You should know we don't play that

You should know we where them nines and A.K.'s at

It's all about the payback, you should know when you see it

How many **** wanna blow just to be it

That's why I think you should know

You should know we don't play that

You should know we where them nines and A.K.'s at

It's all about the payback, you should know when you see it

How many **** wanna blow just to be it

That's why I think you should know
