[00:04.66] Check it out now
[00:07.32] Word up, son, shit is ill, kid
[00:09.29] Know what I'm sayin'?
[00:11.23] Bein' that we livin' the motherfuckin' trife life
[00:14.05] Still have another day, right?
[00:15.84] It's only right
[00:18.08] Let me put you on to what happened, son
[00:20.04] You ain't gonna believe this shit (kick that shit)
[00:21.52] It's just another day, drownin' my troubles with a 40
[00:24.54] That's when I got a call from this brown skin shorty
[00:27.10] She asked me where's my crew at, said we could do whatever
[00:29.78] She got a crew too and said that we should get together
[00:32.67] I said "Aight, just call me back in an hour
[00:35.12] So I can take a shower and gather up the manpower"
[00:39.23] Then I hung up the horn
[00:40.32] And I thought to myself that it might be on
[00:43.01] 'Cause this trick ain't pick up the phone to call me in years (why?)
[00:46.09] Ever since I left the ho lonely in tears
[00:48.41] Ain't no tellin' what her friends puttin' up in her ears
[00:51.13] Ideas of settin' me up I'm not tryna hear (check it out, son)
[00:54.97] So we take the gats for precautions (no doubt)
[00:56.85] Plus, this trick live in Brooklyn, home of the coffin
[00:59.52] She might got a whole battalion of Bucktowners
[01:02.22] Waitin' for us to get up off the train and surround us
[01:04.98] Or maybe, I'm blowin' this shit out of proportion
[01:07.79] But this shit do happen to niggas very often
[01:10.10] So fuck it, a nigga gotta do what he meant to
[01:13.03] My crew got my back, 'fuck the world' is my mental
[01:15.96] We put together five soldiers
[01:17.66] The bitch called, my blood curdled
[01:19.39] Told me to meet her on Myrtle
[01:21.02] Got to the plaza, we're waitin' for the G train
[01:23.68] We put a plan together, just in case the beef came
[01:27.48] Now we Bed-Stuy bound
[01:29.16] Far from home and on unknown ground
[01:31.53] All together, we six deep
[01:33.03] With five heats, nothin' sweet
[01:34.84] First nigga frontin' gettin' lifted off his fucking feet
[01:37.47] It took eternity to reach our destination
[01:39.85] My heartbeat is racin' like a cardiac patient
[01:42.69] We finally got to Myrtle, outside the train station
[01:45.28] I saw not a soul, told my peoples to be patient
[01:47.93] But hold up, that's when a black caravan rolled up
[01:50.86] My legs didn't froze up, I grabbed my pound
[01:53.00] Told my man "Eyes open 'cause it might go down"
[01:55.77] Said he don't like the way the shit is startin' to sound
[01:58.48] Every angle of the car was smoked out and tinted
[02:01.31] So we couldn't tell if the enemy was in it
[02:04.07] It might have been TNT, I wasn't tryna wait and see
[02:06.80] We jetted through Marcy 'cause D's ain't baggin' me
[02:09.65] Word, son, they got us on the run, done, see, yo
[02:12.54] Check it out, check it out, check it out, yo
[02:15.16] The trife life got me thinkin' like an animal
[02:17.97] No doubt, no doubt, no doubt, no doubt, yo
[02:20.57] What can kill you is what you don't know
[02:25.24] Okay, check it, you're on your way to your girl's crib
[02:28.77] But the bitch live in the Bridge
[02:30.98] You ain't really sweating it
[02:32.88] 'Cause little do you know, the niggas in the Bridge be settin' it
[02:36.53] You thought you was safe
[02:37.53] And tried to walk the back streets without heat
[02:39.58] On the 41st Side of 12th Street
[02:41.87] The side where niggas don't give a fuck
[02:43.72] The side where if you come through fronting
[02:46.17] Kid, you getting bucked
[02:47.32] On your way, to apartment 3A
[02:49.86] With a fat herringbone, let him slide, no days
[02:52.70] Son get the heat 'cause I'm about to stick him
[02:55.47] (Fuck that shit, yo, if that nigga front, yo, hit him)
[02:58.13] Aight bet, so just hold it down
[03:00.86] While I cock back the long three pound
[03:03.46] You're upstairs boning, not knowin' that I'm scheming
[03:06.21] Just the right time, kid, it's 12 in the evening
[03:08.79] You're leaving out the building as you kiss your girl goodbye
[03:11.43] Thought you was safe and got caught by surprise
[03:14.22] "What's going on?" as I reply
[03:16.37] "Shut the fuck up and don't make this to another homicide"
[03:19.62] He tried to play tough so I put one in his brain
[03:22.33] Even though I took his life, all I wanted was his chain
[03:25.44] Come through truck without heat, how you figure?
[03:28.03] When you in the projects, keep your fingers on the trigger
[03:30.29] But fuck that, we juxing
[03:31.89] If you got what we like, it gets tooken
[03:34.09] Put you on your back, send you on your way, yo, good looking
[03:37.06] Now we catchin' a cab to Halsey & Lewis in Brooklyn
[03:39.96] Gettin' tore up from the floor up, hit the dress store up
[03:42.43] Got the 80 auto in case a nigga wanna roll up
[03:45.14] Get your motherfuckin' shit swollen
[03:47.04] Now it's back to Queens to serve fiends
[03:48.92] Makin' G's by any means, my eyes on my enemies
[03:51.97] Sippin' Hennessy with my mind on some crime shit
[03:54.78] One-time searchin' me but never ever find shit
[03:57.20] It's the everyday, get the loot, then breeze
[03:59.64] Though my goal is to leave outta state, push ki's
[04:02.30] But all this bullshit holdin' me down, I can't leave
[04:05.37] Fuck a nine-to-five, I get the loot with ease
[04:07.76] Don't even need a degree to earn a six-digit figure
[04:10.87] I get mines slingin' on the corner with my niggas
[04:13.67] Pullin' the trigger when the drama appears
[04:15.13] 'Cause a nigga worst enemy is fear, so, yo.
[04:19.10] Check it out, check it out, check it out, yo
[04:21.73] The trife life got me thinking like an animal
[04:24.40] No doubt, no doubt, no doubt, no doubt, yo
[04:27.13] What can kill you is what you don't know
[04:48.83]
