Gang Signs

Lyrics

[Hook] When them gang signs go up You see your life flash right before your eyes And you know what That's how it is on the Westside When them gang signs go up So many of my niggas died Better watch what you throw up Niggas talking all that shit But when them gang signs go up You see your life flash right before your eyes And you know what That's how it is on the Westside When them gang signs go up [Interlude] Dear God, I now know what I've done Through my thoughts and my actions And the things that I've said Sometimes by mistake, and sometimes on purpose Amen [Verse 1] Got my mind on this murder, Impala so gassed up Got a black MAC-11, and it hit like a Mac truck Product of bad luck, played out on that movie screen Had to scope with some killers, almost died from moving green My mama a felon, my daddy so long gone My grandmama died at eighteen, left me all alone All I got is my gun, bandanas, some weed Leave me with two dead brothers, my enemies gon' bleed I'm masked up, suicidal, rest in peace to Hayes Wasn't no killers, swear my niggas seen some better days But California'll have you stressed out A million ways to die, gotta pull that vest out, 'cause [Hook] When them gang signs go up You see your life flash right before your eyes And you know what That's how it is on the Westside When them gang signs go up So many of my niggas died Better watch what you throw up Niggas talking all that shit But when them gang signs go up You see your life flash right before your eyes And you know what That's how it is on the Westside When them gang signs go up [Verse 2] Fuck niggas gon' die, speaking homicide Laid out in the street, let his mama cry White chalk, black street Red rag, code killer, watch 'em leak Black on black crimes, killing our own brothers But what the fuck can you do when you got on the wrong colors? Take a breath, inhale, let it go Lights off on that Impala, hit the switch, lay it low Soon as you walk out the crib, we gon' blast Hit the 110 and now the one time on your ass In four minutes, you thought that you got away with it Thought that shit was a dream, let us pray 'cause [Hook] When them gang signs go up You see your life flash right before your eyes And you know what That's how it is on the Westside When them gang signs go up So many of my niggas died Better watch what you throw up Niggas talking all that shit But when them gang signs go up You see your life flash right before your eyes And you know what That's how it is on the Westside When them gang signs go up
