Initiation

[Intro]
What up, my nigga?
This ain't just no hood
This is a battlefield
Where loyalty is law and love is weakness
Where young niggas die every day
Where it's passed down like a family trophy
This ain't no gang-banging world
This is what we've become
We in the system where they gon' forget about you
Where the streets gon' remember you
When your stomach was empty, the block fed you
But it's the price and the charge for this, motherfucker

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm living my world retaliation as I'm sweating
As long as you're sweeping, I can get respected

[Chorus]
Now a mission ain't a mission if nobody ride
And a mission ain't a mission if nobody die
And a mission ain't complete if the enemy don't sleep
Enemies rest in peace, deceives fuckin' with me
(On the dead homies) My enemies dying
(On the dead homies) My enemies dying
(On the dead homies) My enemies dying
(On the dead homies) My enemies die

[Verse 1]
They say a mission ain't a mission if nobody drop
And if a nigga ain't snitching, then we all gon' walk
If you ain't risking it for death, then it's just all talk
And automatically I dust that nigga off in the dark
You ever look a nigga right in his eye before you give him
His last words he spoke
That's you the motherfucking realest, fuck that
I cock it and I blast close range
It's a homicide now, it's a murder on my name
I write my prints off the barrel of the gun
And then I flee, your heart turned numb just from the liquor and weed
See, we don't brag about the kill, we just count the codes
And every one that we took out got a story that's told
You be asking why now (You be asking why now)
Why is momma cryin' loud? (Why your momma cry loud?)
You know the hood is hostile (You know the hood is hostile)
All you hearing is pow-pow (Brr, oh yeah)
I'm still accomplishing goals
I'm out-seeking those folks strapped
Gotta let off because I'm still raw
Never fell on my knees for shit
I still demand shit with this Daz Dillinger
Killin' ya for your shit

[Chorus]
Now a mission ain't a mission if nobody ride
And a mission ain't a mission if nobody die
And a mission ain't complete if the enemy don't sleep
Enemies rest in peace, deceives fuckin' with me
(On the dead homies) My enemies dying
(On the dead homies) My enemies dying
(On the dead homies) My enemies dying
(On the dead homies) My enemies die

[Verse 2]
I ain't choose this life, it was chose for me
I was born in sin and baptized in these Long Beach streets
Ten toes down nigga, yeah, I stood in the war
You see them bullets flyin' crazy? They respect me more
So now tied to a code that just can't be broke
Any opp for runnin' through is automatically gettin' smoked
Booyah, kick it off with a 12-gauge slug
So who the fuck that you thought it was? Motherfuckers
Niggas is wild
You know these bitches is lame
I fuck around with real niggas
You fuck with triggers and bangs
Right off the top on a nigga
Blowing out all his brains
You know the Dogg Pound's a gang, dat nigga Daz is the name
See I don't see why (See I don't see why)
This is how the G'z ride (This is how the G'z ride)
You know it's Long Beach, Eastside (You know it's Long Beach, Eastside)
You know the real niggas outside (You know we outside, outside)

[Chorus]
Now a mission ain't a mission if nobody ride
And a mission ain't a mission if nobody die
And a mission ain't complete if the enemy don't sleep
Enemies rest in peace, deceives fuckin' with me
(On the dead homies) My enemies dying
(On the dead homies) My enemies dying
(On the dead homies) My enemies dying
(On the dead homies) My enemies die

[Outro]
Uh, in this gang bang world that we live in
You either ride or get rolled on
You trust nobody, I mean trust nobody
Love rarely
And walk with the precision of a motherfuckin' gangsta
Head up, chest out
Haha, bitch
