歌曲 | Just To Get A Rep |
歌手 | Gang Starr |
专辑 | Full Clip: A Decade Of Gang Starr |
作词 : DJ Premier, Guru | |
Stick up kids is out to tax (x2) | |
And this is how the story goes | |
Brothers are amused by others brother's reps | |
But the thing they know best is where the gun is kept | |
'Cause in the night, you'll feel fright | |
And at the sight of a 4-5th, I guess you just might | |
Wanna do a da or two | |
'Cause they could maybe bust you for self or wit a crew | |
No matter is you or your brother's a star | |
He could pop you in and jet without a getaway car | |
And some might say that he's a dummy | |
But he's sticking you and taking all of your money | |
It's a daily operation | |
He might be loose in the park or lurking at the train station | |
Mad brothers know his name | |
So he thinks he got a little fame | |
From the stick-up game | |
And while we're blaming society | |
He's at a party with his man | |
They got their eye on the gold chain | |
That the next man's wearing | |
It looks big but they ain't staring | |
Just thinking of a way and when to get the brother | |
They'll be long gone before the kid recovers | |
And back around the way, he'll have the chain on his neck | |
Claimin' respect, Just to get a rep | |
Ten brothers in a circle | |
Had the kid trapped, the one wit the hood, he said, "We'll hurt you" | |
If you don't run out your dues and pay | |
Give up the Rolex watch or you won't see another day | |
See, they were on the attack | |
And one said, "Yo, you wanna make this to a homicide rap? | |
Make it fast so we can be on our way | |
Kick in the rings and everything, ok?" | |
The kid was nervous and flinching | |
And little shorty with the 3-8, yo, he was inchin | |
Closer and closer, put the gun to his head | |
Shorty was down to catch a body instead | |
Money was scared so he panicked | |
Took off his link and his rings and ran frantic | |
But shorty said, "Now" pulled the trigger and stepped | |
It was nothing, he did it just to get a rep | |
The rep goes bigger and now hes known for his trigger finger | |
Rolling with troops of the sons like a gangster figure | |
Hes near the peak of his crazy career | |
His posse's a nightmare macking jewls and some crazy gear | |
but as we know these things do come back | |
and shortys now peeping others that are scheming the kind of act | |
Cuz the kid that got shot didnt perish so | |
He pulls up in a jeep with tinted window | |
Too late shorty was caught in the mix | |
His time ran out his number came up and thats it | |
Ya know the rest so dont front the plan has been upset | |
Some brothers gotta go out, just to get a rep |
