This blessin′ shiftin′ the game, rearrangin′ thangs, ′cause most the world was bringin′ me down. Mesmerized, controlled by the other side, and the devil was in my town, looking for me . . .
Wish: . . . but he won′t get me in time, fuckin with Bone, and he′s likin′ these rhymes. We rhyme, better believe, it′s all the time, nigga, we ′live. We straight up soldiers [soldiers].

Twenty-twin, twin, we′re biddin′ on bud [on bud], start the bid at a fin. So, who wanna bag? Who wanna bag? You wanna bag? You gotta bag.

Krayzie: My Lordy Lord maintain. It′s hard ′cause I′m a soldier at war. ′Cause everybody wanna try to bring out the devil in me, but they′re evil, and better believe weed keeps me at ease. Take notes, oh no, ′cause here it comes. That murder mo comin′ to carry you, oh, you, oh. We′re lovin′ this shit, when they pullin′ the gauge out [murder]. Hey, they put it up to your temple, and we blow your brains out. Die. Now, come into my world, and you can see that we are more than thugs. [Layzie: We′re more than thugs. We′re more than thugs. We′re more than thugs.] With just a little twist of harmony, we′re smokin′ lethal warriors. [with Layzie: We′re warriors. We′re warriors. We′re warriors.] Only time will tell who dies. Come look deeply in my eyes. See the murder mold our lives. These are the days of our lives.
(Mo′ Thugs Remix) MARIAH CAREY featuring Bone thugs-n-harmony [Birds chirping.] Layzie: Over, over. Don′t break down yet, it′s over. Over, over. Don′t break down yet, it′s over. Over, over.
Krazie: Steady breakin′ me on down. Mariah: Oooh. Krazie: Break, breakdown. Steady breakin′ me on down. Break, breakdown. Steady breakin′ me on down.
Mariah: You called yesterday to basically say that you care for me, but that you′re just not in love. Immediately, I pretended to be feeling similarly, and led you to believe I was O.K. to just walk away from the one thing that′s unyeilding and sacred to me.
Mariah: Well, I guess I′m trying to be nonchalant about it, and I′m going to extremes to prove I′m fine without you, but in reality I′m slowly losing my mind underneath the disguise of a smile. Gradually, I′m dying inside. Friends ask me how I feel, and I lie convincingly, ′cause I don′t want to reveal the fact that I′m suffering, so I wear my disguise ′til I go home at night, and turn down all the lights, and then I break down and cry.
Mariah: So what do you do when somebody you′re so devoted to suddenly just stops loving you? And it seems they haven′t got a clue of the pain that rejection is putting you through. Do you cling to your pride and sing ″I will survive?″ [Krayzie: Gotta get control and roll, roll, roll on.] Do you lash out and say, ″How dare you leave this way?″ Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away?
Mariah: Well, I guess I′m trying to be nonchalant about it[Krazie: Break, breakdown. Steady breakin′ me on down.] about it, and I′m going to extremes to prove I′m fine without you, but in reality I′m slowly losing my mind underneath the disguise of a smile. Gradually, I′m dying inside. Friends ask me how I feel, and I lie convincingly, ′cause I don′t want to reveal the fact that I′m suffering, so I wear my disguise ′til I go home at night, and turn down all the lights, and then I break down and cry.
Wish: Gonna break ya down, down, down, only if ya let it [Don′t let it.]. Everyday crazy situations rockin′ my mind tryin′ to break me down, but I won′t let it. Forget it. If ya feel the same way that I do, then let me help y′all, all singin′ tunes, sayin′ ″It′s all right, it′s all right, it′s all right, yeah.″ Hopin′ for the sun, but it looks like rain, P.O.D′ed, but it′s still the same. Came far, but it′s been a long road. Trouble′s gonna come but we gotta stay strong. Hold on.
Krayzie: Aw, yeah, I often feel the pressures, y′all, but nevertheless Krayzie won′t fall. It′s over. It′s endin′ here [here]. I said it′s over. It′s endin′ here [here], so I′ll be on my way, and maybe we can meet up in the future one day, but for now I′m bailin′, bailin′. Bailin′, baby, gotta get up, can′t take no more. I′m headed for the door, come and take a look into a thug humble eye. Tell me: if we lived a lie, would our souls unite?
Layzie: Every new day is a test for me, so I just pray the Lord for Him to bless me, please. There′s struggles I′m goin′ through lately, breaks me down, set me free. Let me be. Let me be. Who else do I have to rely on? Whose shoulder can a thug go cry on? Can I get my vibe on? While you look into my eyes, you won′t underestimate, and this soldier story, I′m′a tell you right now I′m fed up. Wrong if I let my lead bust? Pac said keep your head up. Don′t let this world get the best of you, I′m a stress you through it, if it′s over, over, over. Don′t breakdown yet, it′s over.
Mariah: Well, I guess I′m trying to be nonchalant about it, and I′m going to extremes to prove I′m fine without you, but in reality I′m slowly losing my mind underneath the disguise of a smile. Gradually, I′m dying inside. Friends ask me how I feel, and I lie convincingly, ′cause I don′t want to reveal the fact that I′m suffering, so I wear my disguise ′til I go home at night, and turn down all the lights, and then I break down and cry.
Bizzy: Bone and Biggie, Biggie. It′s Bone and Biggie, Biggie . . . Krayzie: We gonna rock the party [rock the party, party].

Notorius B.I.G.: Armed and dangerous: ain′t too many can bang with us. Straight up weed, no angel dust. Label us notorious thug-ass niggas that love to bust. It′s strange to us, y′all niggas be scramblin′, gamblin′ up in restaurants with mandolins and violins. We just sittin′ here tryin′ to win, try not to sin, high off weed and lots of gin. So much smoke, need oxygen, steadily countin′ them Benjamins. Nigga, you′d should, too, if you knew what this game would do to you. Been in this shit since ninety-two. Look at all the bullshit I′ve been through: so-called beef with you-know-who, fucked a few female stars or two. Then a blue light, niggas move like Mike, shit, not to be fucked with. Muthafucka, better duck quick, ′cause me and my dogs love to buck shit. Fuck the luck, shit, strictly aim, no aspirations to quit the game. Spit your game, talk your shit, grab your gat, call your click, squeeze your clip, hit the right one. Pass that weed, I gotsta light one. All them niggas, I gotsta fight one. All them hoes, I gotsta like one. Our situation is a tight one. What you wanna do: fight or run? Seems to me that you′ll take B, Bone and B.I.G., nigga, die slowly. I′m a tell you like a nigga told me, cash rules everything ′round me. Shit, lyrically, niggas can′t see me. Fuck it. Buy the coke, cook the coke, cut it. Know the bitch, before you caught yourself lovin′ it. Nigga, roll the Benz, fuckin′ in it. Doesn′t it seem odd to you? B.I.G. come through with mobs and crews. Goodfellas down for the Mo Thug crew. Who′s the killa: me or you?
Puff Daddy: We forgive you, for you know not what you do.
Bizzy: Seven A.M. woke in the morning, with Hen and caffiene and green and nicotine. No dough, so pop a couple of those. Little RIPsta, nigga, Mr. Clean make it gleam, deep in my temple, and I go get sentimentally steamed with my instrumelody and heated especially for your team and the forty-five indeed will beam in between the seams, destroy your dreams. You willing to die? We′ll see how many flee when I ′cause the scene. We mean mug, Mo Thug, trained to be perfect disciples when it′s survival time, die by double-edged sword, triple six rivals spittin′ fire, that′s the real truth, bitch, breakin′ down for lives, my Messiah, better get ready for Armageddon, shoots expired, it′s wild. Bless the child, the one that became a man, but them positions′ already there, all that I had to do was stare. Test me now, contend, never no surrender, no pretend, pick up my gun in my hand, one of my trusty friend, friends. Hey, open and let ′em see if we′re real. We all suited, beg my pardon to Martin, baby, we ain′t marchi n′, we shootin′, and daily recrutin′. There′s a thug born everyday in the ghetto. We start ′em off little, we give ′em a bottle and a pen and pad. They hit the label, kick it.
Krayzie: Little Kray roll on over to the dark spot, to the dome with a shot of burb, now me go back to the curb. Me feelin′ that urge to splurge, but I′m broke as fuck. ″Sin, gimme that Mossberg swerve.″ Off into my pad, ′cause I gotta get my mask and shells to put in this twelve-gauge sawed-off, get ′em mauled off, nigga, y′all lost. They get hauled off. Got a nigga callin′, though, for the pump, now Leatherface, Sin runnin′, thuggin′ and cuttin′, Lil′ Mo! Hart quick to pull it, ain′t nothin′. Bitch, if you′re steppin′, we′re buckin′ them guts. That′s fucked up. Now let me get down for the crime. Got to go purchase a dime, put in the state, nigga double the crime, smokin′ the reefer to ease my mind. Swig some wine, step on the block with the rocks, but really me servin′ ′em dummies, see. Gotta buck ′em on down, if they come talkin′ like, ″Give me back me money.″ Thuggin′ with me killas, need us a liter of liquor, but niggas ain′t got shit, but a sawed-off pump, chrome .38 pistol, now who ready to get back ? Nigga like me fiendin′ for them green leaves, but I ain′t had no dough. Gotta make some money, so I makin′ my dummy rocks, if I go broke.
It′s Bone and Biggie, Biggie. It′s Bone and Biggie, Biggie . . . Krayzie: We gonna rock the party [rock the party, party]. Better run and tell everybody [everybody]. alternating with Layzie: Ride. Let′s ride. Let′s ride. Let′s ride. Come on and . . . Bizzy: Get high, get high, get high . . .
Layzie: [Yeah.] Little Lay, hey, comin′ in the form of scripture, fin to get ya and hit ya with magic, drivin′ out late, but I call on my gadgets. With an automatic status, we spray. Time to load the glocks, but I′m thinkin′ not, there′s another evil force tellin′ me to do what I gotta do, so I up my pipe, a nigga dyin′ tonight, and I′m always runnin′ from the boys in blue, biggy-blue′s on my ass. Now, I whip out the cellular phone to call Bone, ″What′s happenin′? Grab artillery. Niggas start packin′, ′cause a muthafucka tried to get me in a jackin′, and I did him.″ Hit ′em right between the eyes. The spot was wise. Wanna test a nigga′s size, and it cost him. Nigga fuck around with the wrong shit, y′all get mo mudered all day, all day. We can play that way, and I′m on the run. I′m a call my boys, and bring all the guns. Y′all niggas wanna have a little fun with #1, bloody red, redrum, rum, rum, rum, rum, rum, bloody red, redrum, rum, rum, rum, rum, rum, bloody red, redrum.
Bizzy: It′s Bone and Biggie, Biggie. It′s Bone and Biggie, Biggie . . . Krayzie: We gonna rock the party [rock the party, party]. Better run and tell everybody [everybody]. alternating with Layzie: Ride. Let′s ride. Let′s ride. Let′s ride. Come on and . . . Bizzy: Get high, get high, get high . . .
Eazy-E: Black nigga killa. Hate brought death around the block as a hollow point bust through the punk′s back. Raisin′ Cain, feel no pain as I penetrate. Nigga five deep as I strike at a quick pace. I got the evil of my dead nigga trapped in my mind so my soul is a threat to all mankind. Born to kill, I′m wicked by nature, ′cause the streets of my neighborhood breed young hellraisers. A 30.06 with the scope I make a skinhead brain bust all across the West Coast. Muthafuckas catchin′ heat as I bring anger, and release more danger from my chamber. The evil in my blood is possessed, so I creep low from the back slow and push lead through that nigga′s flesh. Ain′t no hope when every nigga wants to be the nine-milla, on the trigger, the black nigga killa.
Krayzie: We be the mighty warrior. Black nigga killa, what′s up? You ready to die? You think you can fuck with them thug niggas? Come on, tell me the truth, nigga. Look in my eyes. Bitch, we get live. Bone thugs-n-harmony, nigga--Cleveland′s thuggish ruggish niggas still down with the thug shit. Buck, buck, bust. Let ′em know we still run this bitch just like an assassin. Say, nigga, we nice but can get nasty. Get into war, what else can it be? Nigga, you know what we came here for. You know, when we shot through the door, my niggas was serious, playin no jokes. Just ′cause I′m a rapper, you thought it′s for show? Okay nigga let′s see if this a real fo′-fo′. You thought we was studio, saw us on video, seen us in person so here we go [here we go]. What is your problem? Here come the bullets, better dodge ′em. I sneaks up behind, so I′m fuckin′ with killas. Nigga, don′t make me kill ya. Got a bodybag for any you bitches thinkin′ you realer.
Wish: Since, we some killers for sure [sure], hit ′em up, hit ′em hard, if you ready to roll. Niggas out tryin′ to fuck with us, but I′m givin′ you one warnin′--that′s a no-no. ′Cause I got what you need if you are ready to die, to die, to die. Nigga, bye bye. Shots might be fired. Yep. Everybody gon′ run? Naw. Shootin′ at me? Better hit me or one day . Fire! Here I come, come. And you don′t wanna see. We like that [that], ′cause everybody pack guns, but Bone go pap pap. Really just out for the money, ya′ll. Really won′t hurt none of y′all, but playas went too far so I say, ″Fuck y′all. Fuck y′all, y′all, y′all haters. All, y′all, y′all, y′all haters.″
Eazy-E: killa, killa, killa, killa.
Flesh-n-Bone: I′m servin′ these bitches daily. I′m a black nigga killa--that′s what you can label me. Unfadable, see? You don′t really wanna fuck with us. You can′t touch us. You ain′t able. Rest in peace. Flesh creep and sneak with a streetsweeper. Niggas don′t ever know what hit ′em. I split ′em and snatch they soul like the Reaper. Have you ever seen a killer, dressed in a trench coat, sold over a hundred pounds? Rollin′, downin′ a fifth of Rose when I stroll, and who wanna fuck with me now? Lay ′em all down when I creep through your town and clown. I bet you feela this nigga behind the trigger, clack back. Stack, that black nigga killa.
Layzie: [′Cause dyin′ be easy.] Nigga, you know what Bone be sayin′. Rollin′ with big guns, ain′t no playin′, stayin′ down for the murda mo′, slayin′. Aw, shit. Just to let you know, man, that 187 for realer. We black nigga killas and down to ride for E [E]. He′d a ride for me, and that′s the way it′s gon′ be: N.W.A, nigga B-O-N-E. All around the world, most dangerous groups, marchin′ like troops. Lace your boots, be ready to shoot, ′cause if you ain′t then a bullet might hit you. Picture yourself in a coffin--so stiff and cold, full of formaldehyde. Better scatter, dodge ′fore this bullet lodged in your ass, simply for the cash. Been around the world, seen so many faces and so many places. Aced this game, while they try to erase this daily basis. Gimme my space, shit, show me some love, though. Just pump your fist in the air and holler, ″Mo!″ Could you do me that? And I′ll hit you back. Little nigga just wanna know where my thugs at. Some at the track on the back. Oh, yes, some niggas on corner ′r ound sellin that crack. Some of my thugs grave long gone, lot of my niggas′ at home playin′ Bone. Could they rest in peace? My niggas sleep. Makaveli, Biggie Smalls, and Eazy-E. T-Rock got shot [T-Rock got shot]. Lord bless his city [bless his city] thats why [why I] shoot, shoot ′em up. Shoot ′em up, shoot ′em up. Shoot, shoot ′em up. Shoot ′em up, always [nigga], always. That′s why I shoot ′em up.

We got Layzie and We got Krayzie Bizzy′s in the house Wish is in the house And Flesh And Tasha Cleveland′s definiteley in the house
Krayzie: Yo, fuck the police, comin' straight from the underground. A young nigga got it bad 'cause I'm brown and not the other color. Some police think they have the authority to kill a minority, but muthafucka mad, 'cause I ain't the one for a punk muthafucka with a badge and a gun to be beatin' on and thrown in jail. But we can go toe to toe in the middle of the cell. Fuckin' with a nigga, 'cause a nigga turned major, and got a little bit of money and they play us, search a nigga car, lookin' for a product, thinkin' every thug nigga sellin' narcotics. They'd rather see me in the pen, than me blowin' indo rollin' in my Benz-o. I send the police to the grave, and when I'm finished, nigga, bring the yellow tape to tape off the scene of the slaughter, still gettin' swoll off bread and water. I don't know if they fags or what--search a nigga down and grab on his nuts. And on the other hand, without a gun they can't get none, but don't let it be a black and a white one, 'cause they'll slam ya down to the street t op. Black police showin' out for the white cop, but Krayzie Bone will swarm on any muthafucka in a blue uniform. Just 'cause I'm from the C-L-E, the punk muthafuckas are afraid of me, huh. A young nigga on the warpath, and when I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath of cops dying around my way. Yo, bitch, I got somethin' to say:
[Sirens blaring.] Layzie: Fuck the police. Fuck the police. Fuck 'em . . . Krayzie: Surprise. You're muthafuckin' right.
Krayzie and Layzie: Fuck the police and Bone said it with authority, 'cause the niggas on the street is a majority, a gang, and it's whenever I'm steppin' that a muthafuckin' weapon is kept in the stash spot for the so-called law, wishin' Bone was some niggas that they never saw. Lights start flashin' behind me, but they scared of a nigga, so they mase me to blind me, but that shit don't work. I just laugh, and plus, it gives 'em a hint not to step in my path. The police, I'm sayin', "Fuck you, punk." Readin' my rights and shit. It's all junk. Pullin' out a silly club, so you stand with a fake-ass badge and a gun in your hand, but take off the gun, so we can see what's up, and I'll go at it, punk, and I'm a fuck you up. Made ya think I'm a kick your ass, and drop the gat, and Bone's gon' blast. I'm sneaky as fuck when it comes to crime, and I'm a smoke 'em now and not next time. Smoke any muthafucka that sweats me and any asshole that threatens me. I'm a sniper with a hell of a scope, takin' out a cop or two. They can' t fuck with me. The muthafuckin' killa that's mad with potential to get bad as fuck. Now I'm a turn it around--dig in the clip, yo, and this is the sound: [Two Gunshots.] Yeah, somethin' like that, but it all depends on the size of the strap. Takin' out a police will make my day, and the niggas like Bone, don't give a fuck to say . . .
[Sirens blaring.] Layzie: Fuck the police. Fuck the police. Fuck 'em . . . Krayzie: Surprise. You're muthafuckin' right.
Layzie: I'm tired of these muthafuckin' jackins. Sweatin' my thug, while we be thuggin' in the shack and shinin' the lights in my face and for what? Maybe it's because I'm kickin' so much butt. I kick ass, nigga. Maybe, 'cause I blast on a stupid-ass nigga when I'm playin' with the trigger of an uzi or an AK, 'cause the police always got somethin' stupid to say. They pull out my picture with silence, 'cause my identity along with my groups causes violence. It's Bone with the criminal behavior. Yeah, I'm thugsta, nigga, but still I got flavor. Without a gun and a badge, what do you got? A nigga in a uniform waitin' to get shot by me or one of my niggas, and with a gat it don't matter if you're smaller or bigger. Krayzie: Size don't mean shit. I'm from the old school, fool. Layzie: And as you all know, Layzie Bone came to rule. Whenever I'm rollin', keep on lookin' in your mirror, and ears on cue, yo, so I can hear a dumb muthafucka with a gun. And when I'm rollin' off the Eight, you'll be the one that I take out, and then I get away, and while I'm drivin' off laughin', this is what I say, believe that . . .
[Sirens blaring.] Layzie: Fuck the police. Fuck the police. Fuck 'em . . . Krayzie: Surprise. You're muthafuckin' right.
