Locked & Loaded

I never needed nobody to believe in

I seen 'em change like the seasons

R.I.P., you just a candle on the cement

Once you leave so I've be trying to live forever, dawg

I got a .25 Beretta in my mama car

Same one my brother used, same one my father bought

Everybody telling when they go to court

I'm feeling like they don't make niggas like me no more

I still got slaves hanging from my family tree

The young still gangbanging like we WC

And Mac 10, Mac 10's sit up under the fleece

Because the powers that be insist on fucking with me

Since back when there was white men under them sheets

Riding horseback, walking on the backs of the free

You see we in it to survive, what the fuck did you think?

At the blink of an eye niggas could die in these streets

My life a movie, hope you liking the show

They act, we shooting, just a part of the role

The road to riches wasn't made for niggas this low

I pray for blessings, grab my weapon when I walk out the do'

Lock and load and I'm ready to go

Lock and load and I'm ready to go

Lock and load and I'm ready to go

When I'm ready to go, when I'm ready to go

Aye, tell these niggas let the black man shine

This little light of mine, a nine I hide inside of my drawers

Ain't nothing Aunt Jemima, aye lil mama ain't I a star?

I only pray when asking Allah how we made it this far

But still I'm all about the dollar, pass the offering jar

The thoughts of niggas on the bottom what I offer to y'all

We from the slaveship, all my niggas ride for the cause

We on the same shit, tryna survive all the laws

Because they ain't shit, won't take shit but the charge

Because we can't snitch, know you niggas heard it before

The child was murdered before, he had a chance to mature

And bet the one they didn't ever see outside of the bars

We the pride of Raymond Washington, they washing us all

Them baggy True’s fit just like them county blues

Mac 10 match well with my black skin

Little black boy shooting up the avenue

My life a movie, hope you liking the show

They act, we shooting, just a part of the role

The road to riches wasn't made for niggas this low

I pray for blessings, grab my weapon when I walk out the do'

Lock and load and I'm ready to go

Lock and load and I'm ready to go

Lock and load and I'm ready to go

When I'm ready to go, when I'm ready to go
