[04:17.76]I can't believe that rob would diss me,
[04:20.19]That faggot, that punk, he's soft a sissy,
[04:22.86]I'm driving around now with three of my guys,
[04:25.29]The war is on and i'm on the rise,
[04:27.90]We rolled right up to his favorite hang out,
[04:30.42]Said hello and then the bullets rang out,
[04:33.06]Some fired back so we took cover,
[04:35.52]And all i could think about was my brother,
[04:38.13]Rob jumped up and began to run,
[04:40.35]Busting shots hoping to hit someone,
[04:42.96]So i just stopped, and let off three shots,
[04:45.75]Two hit him and one hit a cop,
[04:48.15]I threw the gun down and began to shout,
[04:50.64]Come on i got him it's time to break out,
[04:53.16]But as we ran there were the boys in blue,
[04:55.80]Pointing their guns at my four man crew,
[04:58.17]They shot down one, they shot down two,
[05:00.75]Now tell me what the **** am i supposed to do,

[05:15.12](loves gonna get you)
[05:16.08](loves gonna get you)(loves gonna get you)(loves gonna get you)
[05:18.57](love loves gonna get you)
[05:19.53]Ya know a lot of people believe that that word love is real soft, but when
[05:27.90]You use it in your vocabulary like your addicted to it it sneaks right up
[05:32.13]And takes you right out. out. out. out. out.
[05:38.94]So, for future reference remember it's alright to like or want a material
[05:43.86]Item, but when you fall in love with it and you start scheming and carrying
[05:48.12]On for it, just remember, it's gonna get'cha
