Respect and Pride (R.A.P.)

[Chorus: Bebee & Ed Bone]
Respect and pride, what we use
When we try to survive
Respect and pride, wrong move
And you can lose your life
Careful, be careful (Ay, be careful how you move)
I say you gotta be careful

[Verse 1: Ed Bone]
Yeah, careful how you move (Move) Careful who you speak around
Trustin' all these bitches (Bitches) You knowin' that they sleep around (Yeah)
You better sharpen up your senses, turn a case to his miss, into a lifetime sentence (Lifetime sentence)
I'm pushin' pills, tryna get a couple zips off
Quarterback it, tryin' not to get picked off (Argh)
There's no rules, in this life we choose
Move how you want, it's your life to lose
They push, fake narcs, fake lean, fake blues
Fake hood-rat bitches out here spreadin' fake news
It's full contact, fully automatic combat
Talkin' bout beef, and you know you don't want that

[Chorus: Bebee & E.D.I. Mean]
Respect and pride, what we use
When we try to survive (Uh)
Respect and pride, wrong move
And you can lose your life (Mama used to say)
Careful, (She used to say), Be careful (Uh)
I say you gotta be careful (Better)

[Verse 2: E.D.I. Mean]
My every move is a calculated step
Premeditated plan, that's what keep a nigga blessed
Head on a swivel, as I wiggle down the block
Got 'em mad, 'cause I went from a little to a lot
Strategize and I plot, the shit is chess not checkers
Too addicted to life to play with it
Stick I stay with it, rather have it and need it
Than need it and not have it, I know you hear me
Kinda leery, round strangers, keep a tight circle
Well aware, your closest might hurt you
You cold out here, you better stay warm
He ain't heed the warning now we gotta pray for him

[Chorus: Bebee & E.D.I. Mean]
Respect and pride, what we use
When we try to survive (Damn shame dawg)
Respect and pride, wrong move
And you can lose your life
Be careful, be careful
I say you gotta be careful

[Post Chorus: Bebee]
Respect my gangsta but through the money came up
Pride will get you fucked up left in the dirt under weather
The O.G's that's before you, all that we have been through
Pride and respect, what you choose is up to you
Be careful, be careful
I say you gotta be careful
