[a.g] 
Before becoming a runaway slave  here's a taste of 
Mental slavery. a backtrack... 
("you don't catch hell because you're a methodist or a baptist 
You don't catch hell because you're a democrat or republilcan 
You don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk 
And you sure don't catch hell because you're an american 
Because if you were an american you wouldn't catch no hell 
You don't catch hell because you're a black man.") 
Check it, many try to come close 
Rest in peace to the deceased and the rest are comatose 
I'm not a joke and i go for broke 
And while i'm laughing you'll be gagging from the motherfucking gunsmoke 
Walk the streets and i play for keeps 
And while i entertain suckers stay six feet deep 
It was good while it lasted 
Broken bones and asses, tombstones and caskets 
I got fleeced, i'm not strapped, i'm a get you back 
Me saying "mayday" with an ak, picture that 
Getting my props while you're propless 
And if you try and escape, we'll take grandma for hostage 
I carry my joint 
Hoping to smoke a sucker just to keep on point 
When dre's team goes to extremes call up an m.d. 
Wetting a strip til my whole clip is empty 
Oh-ops and tecs ready to wreck the site 
Whoever's next to step is knifed in broad daylight 
Don't try to run, you'll get blocked off 
I got spotted by a cop, so now that cop is knocked off 
If i get back i get out with the quickness 
The d.a., the judge and the jury's on my hitlist 
Dressed in black with a hoodie and a low hat 
(what you did?) spoke to the witness, now the witness don't know jack 
The giant and his crew are ill 
We're sick-ass convicts, we're hard to kill 
My boys from new york (is hard to kill) 
The brothers from jersey (is hard to kill) 
I say out in philly (is hard to kill) 
And the brothers in boston (is hard to kill) 
To all my peeps in cali (is hard to kill) 
Don't forget about atlanta (is hard to kill) 
To all my boys in connecticut (is hard to kill) 
To my crew in texas (is hard to kill) 
I'm around the way, 141st and 3rd 
40 bottles on the curb and my man got the bag of herb 
Another brother tried to get ill 
And try to take me out on my block, he forgot i was hard to kill 
I ran for cover so the brother missed 
He hit my man in the head, now ed is dead, yo what is this? 
I won't stop until i see him rest 
He got popped by the cops, too late for the ems 
Ain't no chance for survival (why's that?) 
He tried to go head on, now he's dead on arrival 
Now you know i don't play around 
Cause the clown is face down and uptown is his burial ground 
You want beef? well the more the merrier 
And i'm a bury that man's clan in the same area 
My entourage is fully strapped 
Turning your hard bodyguards to wussy, and pussy cats 
You know how we do it 
Putting the glock to the test, go get your vest, i'm going right through it 
He survived in intensive care 
Did the impossible in the hospital (knocked him off right there) 
I'm an expert at disposal 
You see, everyone goes, on foes i'm killing hoes too 
Nobody takes the witness stand 
Your ass is out, i'm cleaning niggas out like spic 'n' span 
You want beef with a mastermind? 
But it's fine, pass the nine, now it's disaster time 
I love conflict and confrontation 
Killing enemies worse than kennedy's assassination 
But that's not my style 
I just got buckwild so i could prove i was versatile 
Styles go on and on 
A.g. is all about peace, speaking of peace, now i'm gone 
To the brothers in d.c. (is hard to kill) 
And the brothers in va (is hard to kill) 
Down in north carolina (is hard to kill) 
How about the brothers in maryland? (is hard to kill)
