Yeah They might be young, but they don't run. Fuck no They walk, with their chins up, they do chin ups Push ups and sit ups, roll a joint and go get lit up And go gang-bangin' beat them fools til they don't get up And they don't stop, fuck no, homeboy, they don't let up They're from The West, and they duel to the death And they're gonna be gang-banging Til there's nobody left Sound familiar?
