Safe - Scarface

I got the new 'Face tape I’m about to, pop in the deck for you niggas

Turn up your radios

You’re down and out, money funny, you hustle and die

On the verge of pawnin your jewelry and sellin your ride

Somebody shoulda told him ain’t no life in these streets

You only out here 'til you touch it, when you touch it you eat

Niggas done took too many chances shovelin snow

And ended up facin a lifetime for tryin to sco'

I’m givin livin definitions on the subject of dope

One week he back on his feet, the next he’s WHOA

I was a 70's baby, raised in the 80's

I was barely touchin 16 when shit got crazy

I remember in the 80's, me and pop would ride

Now we conversate on acres we’s about to buy

He had already been what I’m about to go through

Told me ain’t no sense in gamblin if you gamble to lose

If you made twelve dollars, you put seven away

And lived off the five, and never ever fuck with your safe

But when

When he hustle and he robbin'

That’s when niggas start plottin'

And when you niggas start plottin'

Us country niggas start mobbin', mobbin'

I’m bout my paper, these other niggas slang for the sport

Like unaware tomorrow ain’t promised, the game is too short

I’ve witnessed niggas get it all and give it away

Gettin back was out of the question, they lived for today

Then the hunger pains start up, then the murderous plots

To set up, they fuckin homeboy to get what he got

I mean the ones he broke the bread with, the ones you don’t want

To be the ones fuckin your girlfriend the moment you out

I know the street game backwards, forwards, sideways

It used to be an honest hustle back then but nowadays

It’s cutthroat, that’s fucked up, niggas want they come up

So bad they’ll take the .357 and smoke they brother

A damn shame;

but, that’s the way the game go

A chance niggas is takin especially if they slang dope

I’ve been in that position, back in the day

In fear of my homie hittin' my head to crack in my safe

And that’s when

When ya hustle ain’t evolvin

That’s when niggas start starvin

And when you niggas start starvin

That’s when you niggas start robbin (when these niggas start robbin)

When these niggas got problems

That’s when niggas start plottin

And when you niggas start plottin

Us country niggas start mobbin — mobbin

So listen up my niggas, and I ain’t tryin to preach

I’m just tellin it from my side 'cause I’m in the streets

I done been there, done that, seen a whole neighborhood

Destroyed by the government bein tipped off by one rat

He caught a dope case and they threatened him with time

He get his own fuckin people jammed and he take the five

That’s the shit there;

they ain’t even catch him with dope

But they gave him thirty-five years 'cause the nigga done spoke

Snitchin, that’s a motherfucker, watch what you say

You don’t know no-motherfuckin-body, nigga, you lame

Watch your so-called homeboys, keep to yourself

Stay away from niggas gettin caught that get out of jail

Don’t talk about your business, keep yo' thoughts in yo' head

And this game it got a paper trail, watch where ya spend

Don’t write down names and numbers, it’s a memory thing

Never shit where ya sleep, keep the crib out of range

And plus you never let these niggas know where you stay

'Cause when the push turns to a shove, they hittin your safe

True motherfuckin' game, true motherfuckin' game

When ya hustle ain’t evolvin'

That’s when niggas start starvin'

And when you niggas start starvin'

That’s when you niggas start robbin'

When these niggas got problems'

That’s when niggas start plottin'

And when you niggas start plottin'

Us country niggas start mobbin', mobbin'
