You better watch your step,
you better watch your move
You better wait,
and think twice about what you do
You better watch your step,
you better watch your move
You better wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Ayo, it's 5 o 'clock a .m.,
I'm up in the mornin'
Wipin' the sleep out
my eyes as I'm yawnin'
I take a step out my house
before the sun hits
Mind on my money,
so my money gotta come quick
I'm starving,
and paying this price with no bargain
I'm hawking,
looking for jibs to take a part in
I'm souping,
serving these heads with this
Peruvian
Pro ducing more racks in my pot,
it gives me excuses
To move this, I move quick,
knowing that the
Lord wants me
And the other side's hunting for me
A hundred stories I got are
almost getting shot
So it's quite mandatory
that my nine is caught
And since I'm the littlest,
I get tested a lot
But I learned they will learn
if you send us my shot
But as I pointed at his face, I had a conscious debate cuz
in the back of my mind a day. I hear my mama say
Don't do that son.
Don't go there boy.
Put down that gun
Think about it twice think about your son.
Think about your life
Cuz the life you take could be the reason
that your life is the life you waste
I love you, son.
You my first born, my star, my sun
On the avenue, out past midnight, bucket pulled up,
my man asked what it looked like
Walk into the car, I said, wait, that's when I heard two shots,
block, block, yeah, it's alright
Dead in the center,
lay dead in the center of the street
I remember how a door filled all memories,
now it's hard for his family, fatherless seed
Now it's baby mama out pullin' tricks on the streets,
with these tricks up her sleeves
Grandma believin' that she workin' legit,
cause she lied and she don't see nothin' wrong with the strip
And she fine, so she don't really
got a problem with titties
And when she shake them hips,
men break them necks
She alive, and oh so close to death
And as I sat and watched her,
she got done and left
And came back with her things and asked me,
what's next?
I said, don't do that love
Don't go there, girl,
now let's leave this club
Girl, we better be straight
Cause if my man only knew,
he'd probably turn in his grave
She sat and looked in my eyes
I'm a lonely single woman,
would you hold me tonight?
As she kissed my face,
and to this day I regret that and what took place
You better wait, cause it's vice night homie,
the vice out
And they dressed up,
lookin' like clucks with pipes out
And they undercover watchin'
the snide with they lights out
But I stayed out,
spittin' out rocks outta my mouth for that paper
Splittin' a swish and rollin' my tank up,
I'm dolo
Movin' these dubs,
quotes, and half -o's
Add another note to my stash,
and leave the spot blowed
I felt it in my stomach and that's
when the cops closed in
And now I'm in the county,
in the state by six
They took what I had,
then my pocket, then my whip
Now I'm thinking bout my life
like a convict
What I shoulda, woulda, and I coulda did
Now it's too late for it,
cases gotta deal with
Lawyer gotta get me one and get
me out on bail quick
And my arraignment, the judge did not bail
Instead he can wait out this trial in jail
You better watch yourself
You better watch your way
You better wait
An d think twice about what you do
You better watch your step
You better watch your move
You better wait
An d think twice about what you do
You better watch your step
You better watch your move
You better wait
And think twice about what you do
You better watch your step
You better watch your way, you better wait,
and think twice about what you do, wait.
