Die By The Gun

If you live by the gun die by the gun (yeah)
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (Bugzy Malone)
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (ya'kno?)
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (watch this)
 It's a shame that the hood's an addiction
 Them man fell from the heavens but nobody missed him
 All that knowledge and wisdom
 But he didn't share it so there's no one to protect him
 Yeah there's power in numbers
 But don't underestimate age out here
 There's too much power in youngers
 And them man forgot there was hundreds
 Anybody can be gangster
 You say city of God there's no age restriction
 Being nice never made man money
 You pay to go to the church there's no paid religion
 I'm not being funny
 If you was raised in a broken home
 With poverty constantly hanging over your head
 Would you not fight the affliction?
 The hood's an addiction
 He went from no one to having a big reputation
 Violated by his own family
 He's got no problem with violation
 Using a weapon brings fear
 And fear just means you don't need explanation
 All he needs is a bad boy driver
 To help him escape from the destination
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (yeah)
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (yeah)
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (yeah)
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (by the, by the)
 Man's living like a wild animal
 When he get's hungry then it's robbery season
 Beaten up as a child
 So he likes to hurt people he don't need a reason
 He thought them man were Gods
 But he watched them man turn mortal and weakened
 The hood's an addiction
 But most things in the hood these days are deceiving
 No snapchats or tweeting, he's living under the radar
 And that means he's avoiding policemen
 He got left with a scar and that's a reminder of when he got beaten
 But it's not an L when it comes from an older
 Them man are Gods no longer and
 They're human and humans stop breathing
 Flip the mattress, pull the Adidas shoe box out it's that time
 He don't play games anymore but it's looking like Mortal Kombat time
 He had Scarface playing on DVD in the background
 So when he left his room he heard Al Pacino
 Say: "You better say good night to the bad guy"
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (Yeah)
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (Yeah)
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (Yeah)
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (By the, by the)
 The hood's an addiction
 He's wearing clothes with no description
 He's heard stories about hits
 And he's got what it takes to make a man go missing
 He knows where my man chills
 And he takes back roads he's turning and twisting
 The plan's quite simple
 Go to the pub, identify man and blast him
 As he gets closer he starts losing his composure
 He remembers looking up to the man
 That he's about to go on and dispose of
 It's ten o' clock
 And he knows them man linked at the pub just to talk business
 He pulls down his mask and that's just in case there's a witness
 Just to be safe, then he arrived and seen everybody standing outside
 Squinted his eyes
 Located the guy and then let 4 shots off with the quickness
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (yeah)
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (yeah)
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (yeah)
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (by the, by the)
 He definitely hit somebody on the floor
 He could see a lifeless body
 Mixed emotions, breathing heavy
 No remorse at all he's not sorry
 He just licked man down and he cannot wait for the word to get 'round
 This means he'll be the talk of the town
 And now they'll know he's never been a clown
 Then he got a call straight from hell
 But it wasn't Lucifer, it was his sister, Shell
 Histerically crying, with police sirens in the background as well
 She said mum's been shot at the pub
 We were standing at the door and she just fell
 He had 1 more bullet, he looked up into the sky and blasted him self
 It's a shame that the hood's an addiction
 Them man fell from the heavens but nobody missed him
 All that knowledge and wisdom
 But he didn't share it so there's no one to protect him
 Yeah there's power in numbers
 But don't underestimate age out here
 There's too much power in youngers
 And them man forgot there was hundreds
 If you live by the gun die by the gun (yeah)
