Man with a Gun - Rakim[00:00:00]
Verse one's about a kid who didn't like the way the earth spun[00:00:24]
He said it's cursed so he went and got his first gun[00:00:27]
He turned savage took matters in his own hands[00:00:30]
He said I'm grown nothing matters I'm my own man[00:00:32]
Because we don't know how to live but we know how to die[00:00:34]
The game of life and no one'll make it out alive[00:00:37]
So I'mma stay in heavy arm and I'mma keep a gun[00:00:40]
And I'mma beg for dear life when the reaper come[00:00:42]
Yo he's a beast everybody in the streets fear him[00:00:45]
Thugs won't cross him cops won't go near him[00:00:48]
Nothing could scare him it's time to try and get rich[00:00:50]
He robbed his suppliers plus he gets hired for hits[00:00:53]
Now the mice want his bread it's the price on his head[00:00:55]
And everybody that he didn't like want him dead[00:00:57]
I guess he knew the same streets you rep on[00:01:00]
Will be the same streets you meet your death on[00:01:03]
Verse two is how a little dude flipped and grew too quick[00:01:35]
He did some rude sh*t and got his hands on two bricks[00:01:38]
Bought the new fifth with the extra two clips[00:01:41]
Put together two cliques and took over two strips[00:01:43]
Dude glued chips new kicks and new whips[00:01:46]
Knew tricks got two kids by two chicks[00:01:48]
But he blew too quick they said he shoot too quick[00:01:51]
Too slick[00:01:53]
He said I gotta hit the block for my needs[00:01:54]
But I'mma leave the block 'cuz this hot cop is watching the streets[00:01:58]
Made a couple stops at the spot and bought trees[00:02:01]
He copped a new uptown patent leather[00:02:03]
Too sick now let me hit the hood[00:02:06]
To stop by and make sure the kids are good[00:02:08]
That's when the man ran up on him put the gat in his face[00:02:11]
Said remember me from back in the day[00:02:13]
