[Intro]
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'

[Verse 1]
Now this fools name was Jerrel
Seems he was doin' swell
Over the years where he sell
This built up them clientele
My n***a was gettin' big
He slung ever since a kid
And always got glamourized
For all of the shit he did
He had a bad attitude
N***a selfish and rude
One day he got in a fight with a goon and he killed the fool
That's when A.T.F. got hot
Surveillance up on the block
They knew he was runnin' shop
But this n***a wouldn't stop
Jerrel was a knucklehead
He said muthafuck a fed
Look come if you wanna come
And off with you bitches head
Surely them people came
Get down on your face and hands
They took the dope and choked Jerrel with a rope man
He thought he would go to jail
5-0 took the bitch to hell
They took the dope and said he got crossed in drug sale
[Chorus]
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
I tried to warn my n***a bout dem people but they snatched him
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
I tried to warn my n***a bout dem people but they snatched him

[Verse 2]
Tha next one is Sharolin
Addicted to heroin
Gave birth to her son at 15
And now she scared of him
Look he was a balla' so
That made her a stupid ho
I heard he sold his dope out a house in the Calliope
Stung him for much a furl
Then shot it up with Earl
That dope bust her heart
And that's how Sharolin left the world
Now guess what her son do
He snorted boy too
He robbed some n***a that brought that drama to his whole crew
That multiplied enemies
One of em' slangin' keys
And they got some boys that got boys that strapped with artillery's
Now he down on his knees
Beggin' Lord help me please
That nite he got on that dope and went out he was off his P's
Walkin' without a gun
They caught him round hit and run
Pulled out the Tommy gun
Knockin' holes in his fuckin' lungs
[Chorus x2]
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
I tried to warn my n***a bout dem people but they snatched him
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
I tried to warn my n***a bout dem n***as but they snatched him
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
I tried to warn my n***a bout dem people but they snatched him
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
I tried to warn my n***a bout dem people but they snatched him

[Verse 3]
N***a done throwed the cross
And the boss
Be the n***a stepped on
So he hired 5 killas that snort up that heroin
To keep his self from being affected
Whoever mentioned his name got they head-bust on next shit
That next hit
He sent was up in the 2nd line
Dat Lexus pulled up shells started flyin'
People started runnin' and cryin' lyin'
In tha street was tha one that they came for
Bystanders got hit up
So a kid in this drug war
That was five
So she couldn't survive
Homicide said where they at
To everyone outside
But in dem' killas' eyes, they on dat dope so it ain't nothin
Reincarnation is the subject of their discussion
Shit somebody snitch them people found the location
Caught 2 out of the 5 they got me down at the station
Boss man say fuck dem n***as and show nuts
One of them n***as snitch
One of dem n***a hush
Now tha boss gotta pack up shop and leave town
'Cause the n***as that he know upstate would shank him down
[Chorus]
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
I tried to warn my n***a bout dem people but they snatched him
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
Caught up in the game but you see how it came back to him
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
I tried to warn my n***a bout dem people but they snatched him

[Verse 4]
N***as mad 'cause we bumpin'
My n***a Jeff they jumped him
I know one of them n***as and when i catch him i'm gon' stomp him
Look all this here heart don't pump no pussy
I'll be forced to do something real bad if you try and push me
I went to see my n***a zoe but he told me "ain't nothin"
I say man this long way I came into somethin'
He came out with one
I said what are these called silver-sacks
He told me no stupid-ass
We call them “my n***a” bags
I bust one up wit him 'cause he my nahga
At two in the mornin' some n***as was standin' beside us
One of them n***as had a Glock
I heard him cock it
He told us shut the fuck up and empty out your pockets
I dropped it they grabbed it and got ghost
I layed low
That there happend so fast it was
It fuck up my head zoe

[Chorus]
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
Two in the mornin' a n***a was blowed
Not knowin' them boys was jackin'
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
Two in the mornin' a n***a was blowed
Not knowin' them boys was jackin'
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
I tried to warn a n***a bout dem people but they capped him

[Outro]
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'
That's how it be happenin'

(And the MAC-11)
(Extended clip totin ass n***as)
