Craig Smith
In Cold Blood
[Verse 1]
I started small time, dope game, pushin' on the corner
Twenty cent cook-up, fifty flippers if you want 'em
Full of formaldehyde, my clothes reekin' marijuana
Cops rollin' up on us, my neighborhood's like a sauna
Pistol-grippin', insurin' won't nobody run up on us
But if they do, fuck 'em, we murderers, n***a, dome 'em
I ain't playin' no games, I'm on a mission for the change
Motherfuck being a lame, I'm ten toes in the game, deep
I can't slip, this whole world want me sleep
See, I hustle like a predator and prey on the weak
And playin' for keeps, 'cause see, it's a thin red line
Between a n***a gettin' his and me gettin' mine
And plus I'm a n***a with that feelin' like it's my time
And anybody standin' in the way of that is dyin'
I bust nine, how many times I gotta warn you?
I ain't the one who pushin' buttons in the sight of my gun
I'm the real live version of the Corleone family
So I spit this clearly, so you hoes'll understand me

[Bridge]
One wrong move, and I'ma have to leave you for the goons
Catch you slippin' asleep in your bedroom and then (*Explosion*)
Get you outtie, now what the fuck was this dude thinkin'
You can cheat the rules of the streets and not leave stinkin'?
[Chorus]
I can squeeze without blinkin', I'm a cold-blooded n***a
Bank robber (Ooh), I'm a natural born killer
Drug dealer, anything it took to survive
Even if it took a n***a to die, I'm a gangsta, right?

[Verse 2]
I got a brick from a sucker that he wanted to move
But the whole while I'm cookin', I'm like, "Fuck this dude"
It's on, thirty-six zones of my own
Keep the money for myself and take the work back home
Call that n***a on the phone (Ayy), "I just got knocked
And the cops was askin' 'bout you, come get me hot"
Never showed, so fuck him and the money that I owed
I got a get rich quick scheme, steppin' on the dope
It's cold, but that's it, I'm on it like I want it
And twenty-eight cash and change, the whole game on it
That means I'm on my feet and I can front the homies D
Break 'em off a couple of C, and double up they fee
Takin' over, shoot up they spot, make it hot
And when the cops dry it out, put my work on the block
And if they wanna ride for they corners we ride right with 'em
Dummy move, whole thing, the goon squad get 'em

[Chorus]
I can squeeze without blinkin', I'm a cold-blooded n***a
Bank robber (Ooh), I'm a natural born killer
Drug dealer, anything it took to survive
Even if it took a n***a to die, I'm a gangsta, right?
[Verse 3]
No more petty rock hustlin', I'm in for the run
And I'm for sure I'm gon' be murdered for this shit that I done
But I'ma die standin' up, 'cause I'm a stand-up n***a
Fuck dyin' like a bitch on my knees, I'm a killer
So don't nobody cry 'cause I was destined to get it
Just remember, I'm the one who took the dope game and flipped it
And pimped it, and destroyed everything in the way
Of me seein' first motherfuckin' light of the day
A trigger man, deadly as fuck with a loaded AK
Spot my enemy and kill him the American way
I turned a dream into reality with a fuck you mentality
Silencin' all these n***as in the neighborhood who challenged me
Family grievin' from they loved one's fatality
He ain't got a reason to die then kill him, it's a tragedy

[Chorus]
I can squeeze without blinkin', I'm a cold-blooded n***a
Bank robber (Ooh), I'm a natural born killer
Drug dealer, anything it took to survive
Even if it took a n***a to die, I'm a gangsta, right?

[Outro]
Right?
