He say, she say, brothers be yapping

Running they mouths and don't even know what happened

Just for conversation you run your lip

And now my man got problems, so now he's got to flip His girl is heated and she's leaving too

Because you ran your mouth, what you said wasn't even true

See my man name is Victor

His brother Mike is boning Shante, that's Eric's sister Mike had a girl, but Shante knew

But on the downlow a little rendevous

One day upstairs the two were chilling

His girl popped up, yep, yep, she started illing Mike said that's Victor's undercover lover

So Victor caught on and had to cover for his brother

Walked Shante home and said so long

But somebody saw the two and thought they had something going on It got around like a hula hoop

And you made it your business, Victor's girl knew the scoop

Know she's beefing, flipping and crying

Didn't believe when he said that they were lying It's over, the relationship is done

Victor was a loyal brother if I ever knew one

You say, he's wrong, but that's not a fact

See if you don't know the story then you shouldn't say jack Well, it's over anyway, huh

Of he say she say, a lot of brothers died

All the gossip don't belong in the streets

From another brother talking now you got major beef Two kids had a beef, one was your man

They went out like troopers and they went out with their hands

Your man took a loss, but he left it at that

But you made it your business to say, he was coming back The other kid wouldn't have it

So he ran to his car, yeah, he packed the automatic

And you knew he wasn't joking

So you called up your man, "Yo yo, we gotta smoke 'em" Came downstairs with the nine and the vest

Little did you know he didn't aim for the chest

Caught him in the head, now your man is dead

Rest in peace chief, cause of something that you said Tell it to his family on his funeral day

Somebody said to me that I'm not A.G.

Because the Giant is dark skinned and 6 foot 3 Somebody told Show that A.G. can't flow

That witch is crazy, because you know I'm good to go

(Ayo, I heard Showbiz is making money off the crack)
