[Verse 1]
Yo I'm known to
Hang in hoods nationwide
Battleground warriors hold me with pride
I stay by your side
Keep me around your house and lands
So your neighbors know just where you stand
When you hold me in your hands
You must feel invincible
Time to salute troops that bust steel on principal
This is love
I roll with a clique of thugs
My colors got me good with the Crips and Bloods
Find me in the street and sky
Unless people die
Then I lay low stay out the people's eye
Known to glow in the heat of July
Who am I? You wanna know now
I'm so foul some say I belong in a trash can
Murderous material made by a madman
I'm justified in some citizens' eyes
But how can they explain the way I'm takin' innocent lives

[Chorus]
I make the weak feel strong when I'm in their hands
I gave you power
The war got me in demand
It's so gory (what)
The whole story (cut)
Why this thing in our hands so glorious
A special update - For those who woke up late

[Verse 2]

Yo I'm known for hangin' hood and street victims
First time offenders that couldn't beat the system
You could say I'm a world destroyer
Cuz I symbolize a bully
Who represent crooks like a defense lawyer
Let me tell ya how it goes
You wanna start a revolution we'll have none of those
Sometimes I move in silence
Other times I'm perfectly loud
Waggin' the dog and divertin' the crowd
It's the media control now
(?) for Columbines (?) now
On why soldiers fightin'
Homes unite
Take me down you better fold me right
Hold me right
I been
Killin' since I had 13 stars
Doin' a life bid behind 13 bars
Don't get me heated dog you don't want me on fire
Still thinkin' I'm a burner? You must be a slow learner
[Chorus X2]
I make the weak feel strong when I'm in their hands
I gave you power
The war got me in demand
It's so gory (what)
The whole story (cut)
Why this thing in our hands so glorious
