One Life, One Name

Intro

Yeah...

You hear that?

I ain't come to talk.

I came to make you remember.

You either wit' me... or you underneath me.

Let's go!

Chorus

You want it? Come and get it! (What!)

No fear, no forgiveness! (Yeah!)

Dog off the chain, whole place tremblin'!

Talk that shit, better stand on your sentence!

Arf! Arf! Dog in the buildin'!

Whole squad quiet when I come around!

You want war? Better know what that's about!

One life, one name... no backin' down!

Verse 1

I came from the dirt where the cold hearts grow

Where your best friend smiles while he pray you fold

I got pain in my chest, got rage in my soul

Been fightin' these demons since I lost control

You talk like a killer but your eyes say different

I hear all that barkin', ain't nobody listenin'

I don't need a crowd, I don't need no crew

When the pressure get heavy, that's when I come through

Nine-millimeter heater make a loud-mouth quiet

Walk up in the spot by myself and start a riot

Ain't no security savin' you when the lights go black

Click-clack, push your whole front line way back

You got a problem? Address it to my face then

Run up in your crib, leave the whole place caved in

I don't do the back-and-forth, I don't do the chatter

Once the blood hit the timber, man it really don't matter!

Chorus

You want it? Come and get it! (What!)

No fear, no forgiveness! (Yeah!)

Dog off the chain, whole place tremblin'!

Talk that shit, better stand on your sentence!

Whole squad quiet when I come around!

You want war? Better know what that's about!

One life, one name... no backin' down!

Verse 2

Dear God, tell me why I carry this pain

Why I smile in the sun but I'm dyin' in the rain

I been losin' my mind, I been fightin' myself

Put my faith in the Lord, put my heart on the shelf

I ain't perfect, I'm broken, got scars I conceal

Got a mouth full of anger and a heart made of steel

If I fall, let me fall with my head held high

I'm a dog till the end, and I'm born to survive

Difference 'tween us is I lived what I rap

You just barkin' through the fence till you caught in the trap

I'm from the bottom of the pit where the rats eat the weak

Where you gotta bust a lip just to earn a turn to speak

Dirt on my boots, blood on my thermal

Keep a list of my enemies locked in the journal

Scratch 'em off one by one when the night get thick

Have you prayin' for a miracle and beggin' it's quick

Chorus

You want it? Come and get it! (What!)

No fear, no forgiveness! (Yeah!)

Dog off the chain, whole place tremblin'!

Talk that shit, better stand on your sentence

Whole squad quiet when I come around!

You want war? Better know what that's about!

One life, one name... no backin' down!

Verse 3

Ayo, I'm tired of the talk, tired of the games

Kick the door off the lock, make 'em remember the name

Five-foot-ten of pure pressure in the flesh

Every time I step out, put the devil to the test

Lord, forgive me for the dirt I'm 'bout to do tonight

Gotta show these little puppies that the big dog bite

You was raised on the porch, I was raised in the alley

Where they tally up the bodies at the end of the finale

Ain't no callin' for backup, ain't no dialin' the nine

Once you step across the chalk, boy, your ass is mine

Put the boots to his ribs till he cough up the truth

Knock the crown off his head, knock the gold out his tooth

I been hungry since a shorty, ain't a damn thing changed

Still buckwild, still reckless, still deranged

So if you want it, come and get it, I'm right here on the block

Till my heart stop beatin' and the casket lock!

(Final Chorus)

You want it? Come and get it! (What!)

No fear, no forgiveness! (Yeah!)

Dog off the chain, whole place tremblin'!

Talk that shit, better stand on your sentence!

Whole squad quiet when I come around!

You want war? Better know what that's about!

ONE LIFE! ONE NAME! NO BACKIN' DOWN!

Outro

Yeah...

You wanted the dog?

You got him.

Lord forgive me...
