Scarface - SafeLyrics

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 Niggaz 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 seventies baby, raised in the eighties I was barely touchin' sixteen 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 ya safe But when [Chorus] When ya hustle ain't evolvin' That's when niggaz start starvin' And when you niggaz start starvin' That's when you niggaz start robbin' (when these niggaz start robbin') When these niggaz got problems That's when niggaz start plottin' And when you niggaz start plottin' Us country niggaz start mobbin', mobbin' I'm 'bout my paper, these other niggaz slang for the sport Like unaware tomorrow ain't promised, the game is too short I've witnessed niggaz 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, niggaz 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 niggaz is takin' especially if they slang dope I've been in that position, back in the day And feel my homey, hittin' my head to crack in my safe And that's when [Chorus] So listen up my niggaz, 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 niggaz 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 thang Never shit where ya sleep, keep the crib out of range And plus you never let these niggaz know where you stay 'Cause when the push turns to a shove, they hit and you say, True motherfuckin' game, true motherfuckin' game [Chorus]
