  • Well I'm an alley cat, some say a dirty rat
    On my side is my gat, see I'm all of that
    Spittin' out buck shots, boy I'm gonna wet'cha
    Runnin' hot, but I'm still comin' to get'cha
    Thinkin' like a peace smoke, comin' on a homicide
    You talkin' shit, tryna take me for a ride
    I'm not a bad guy, but I'm the funky feel
    Finger on the trigger with my hands upon the steel
    Lettin' out a bullet, this is goin' boo-ya
    You're stuck in my hood, so what ya gonna do now?
    Being the hunted one is no fun
    Here I come son, yo I think ya better run
    Better run more, and move a little faster
    Second of thought and I'm coming to blast ya
    With my

    Sawed off shotgun, hand on the pump
    Left hand on a forty, [puffin onna blunt]
    Pumped my shotgun, [niggas didn't jump]
    Lala la la lala la laa

    Comin at you like a stiff blow, fuckin up your program
    Ain't takin shit from you him or no man
    Master mind maniac and a menace soooo
    How they want to pass sentence
    All because a nigga tried to play me on the trigger
    He missed, so now the nigga's pissed
    Rude and crude like a pit bull, get to the point
    Your fuckin card will get pulled, now
    I'm headed up the river with a boat and no paddle
    And I'm handin out beatdowns
    I'm headed up the river with a boat and no paddle
    And I'm handin out beatdowns [get your face down!]
    Put me in chains, try to beat my brains
    I can get out, but the grudge remains
    When I see ya punk ass, I'm gonna getcha
    Fucking do ya, shotgun go boo-yaa!

    Sawed off shotgun, hand on the pump
    Left hand on a forty, [puffin onna blunt]
    Pumped my shotgun, [niggas didn't jump]
    Lala la la lala la laa

    Kickin that funky Cypress Hill shit
    Take a lot of mental for the blunted to chill with
    Cuz I'm the chill one, known to get ill one
    They stepped to the Hill "What's up?", I had to kill one
    Now I'm headed up the river with a boat and no paddle
    And they got me on lock down
    Headed up the river with a boat and no paddle
    And they got me on lock down
    Living like a nigga who done lost his mind
    Cause I ain't goin out like a spineless jellyfish
    Some say life is a bitch
    Ask that punk who dug his own ditch
    Out for the Hill fuckin up at a party
    Tried to get funny, put a hole in his body
    Lala la la lala la laaa
    Look at all of those funeral cars
    Cause I'mma

    Sawed off shotgun, hand on the pump
    Left hand on a forty, [puffin onna blunt]
    Pumped my shotgun, [niggas didn't jump]
