lyrics

V1.
get Stabbed, Shanked Pushed to Walk the Plank
Say the Wrong Thing in the Wrong Place, Hammer's Crank
'cause Youth, dem Walk with .38 Pon Dem Waist
Set Trip n' Gun Tip is the Next Thing You Taste
Words Start Simple, but they X Men and Mutate
Get X'ed, then Your Next of Kin can Take Your Place
- They Keep it Up? the Whole Crew get Erased
Laugh it Up in Hell About the Dumb Ish Yall Say
As Your Words Build or Bruise the Company You Keep
One Small Muscle Control the Trouble You Meet
Recognize that that what Comes Out Your Mouth
is the Beginning of Where the Power Comes Out

-scratch chorus-

V.2
Some Gangsta's Know to Think Before They Speak
the Rest Speak n' get Wise After the Street gets Heat
22's, 25's, 44's, 45's
These Days thats how Most Keep Conversations Alive
Chicken Heads Cluck, Dudes Run the Tab on they Mouth Up
When they Can't Pay the Bill, 'Tings Blow Up!'
Watch What You Speak, Words are Seeds, Sow what You Reap
Cultivate Your Vocab, 'Cause Every Word You'll Eat'

-sub Chorus-
do What You say, Not Say What You're Gonna do
Or get Lit by the Hitmen that'll get in Front of You
demons with Ice Picks will Front on You
devils with Knife Tips will Experiment on You
be a Man of Your Word for God's Abundance on You
"cuz Talk is Cheap"



v3.
Keep Spittin in the Wind, n' it'll Come Back On You
Keep Pissin on Your Friends, n' it'll Get On Your Shoe
Speak Angry and Die, Speak Lies and Eat Humble Pie
all from them White Lies -that- Multiply
get Stuck Deep, Weepin', Eating Your Feet
Foot in Your mouth for not Keeping Your Speech
a Lying Word Cannot Profit (echo)
and You Better be a Hundred Percent if You was the Prophet
the Lip of Truth Shall be Established Forever
that's in Proverbs, Cousin, Let's get it Together
