Do or die, nigga, pull the trigger give a fuck rather be in jail than get your ass bucked Nobody cares, me against the world Keepin' on my mind and my Tech-9
I got nothin' to lose, payin' dues, you wanna die? I get then my mission is a walk-by You'd better jet when I hit set 'cause I'm commin' Start runnin', yellin', "Evil mind", as I'm
One in the chamber for the anger that I inside For the mothers that cried, for my that died The beginning is an ending, am I just a So I got to be from the cradle to the grave
