[Intro]
One time
Yeah, uh-huh
Okay
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Boy, I came up in the game like it's the bottom of the ninth
N***as on pace, n***as gon' slide my n***as don't wait
I've been up on nine, five whippin' all day
Lane switchin' through the opps
Playing victim is an option
Lame n***as do it lot
And I'm not really into gossip, they spittin' so i can't listen to you talk
Talk about it, n***a talk about it
I was in my head and then I got up out it
I was in the trenches when I thought about it
Gettin' Smith & Wesson was a move
Now I'm getting into sections in the room
Listening to living legends spit the truth
I remember I was sleeping on the floor
Now, I'm on a different level, check the view
N***as ain't built like this
Still might slap a pussy n***a if he feel like
N***as playin' baby, this is real life
I don't think you n***as really realize
I'm the G.O. to the A.T. so they pay me for the accent
When you tellin' everyone you know me
Don't forget to specify that it was back then
[Chorus]
It's about to be a riot in the street (Attention citizens, martial law is now in effect)
It's about to be a riot in the street (Please resume into your homes and wait for further instructions, we thank you for your cooperation at this time)
It's about to be a riot in the street
It's about to be a riot in the street

[Verse 2]
Can't believe a n***a's promises that shit is only words
Heard you stay up on yo' politics and not up on yo' verbs
I don't need no fucking complements I know my shit is dope
Everything I get in consequence is all that I deserve
Walk up on em' like a purge, drum and a mask
I'll make em' run to they slangin' the dash
Don't give a fuck about none of that other shit
Shit could get gutter ain't gonna relax
How many years does someone have to suffer before they get dressed and come with a strap?
N***as be humble but up for the task
N***as be- n***as be- n***as be -n***as be n***as be industry
Con artists, con artists, out of art, out of heart
Con artists, fuck em' like pornstars
Love em' like ya'll darbys
Y'all thought it was a game, call Thomas
But it's not, ya'll oughta be ashamed, Ya'll aren't all good
But before the night ends I'm gonna make it all right

[Chorus]
It's about to be a riot in the street (Please return to your homes and await for further instructions)
It's about to be a riot in the street
It's about to be a riot in the street
