Ever since I was circumcised, the planet and the earth was mines Back then, way before Starks even nurtured rhymes We heard bullet shots, helicopters circled over blocks Still hear the record skipping, lock it up, padlock We moved from the projects, straight into another one Right before we moved in the crib, I heard another gun Claudine watching, some of us on the floor clean Bullets hit the window and hit the box, it's all teased Bullets came flying through my window I was in the shadow, trying to escape We moved to the country, the city got ugly And we thought we were safe, we made our escape David, mm-mm, ah-ah-ah-ah David, mm-mm, David, mm-mm Settle your debt, settle down It's only us looking for peace Devil's goddess on a short leash for good Well, bullets came flying Don't get it twisted, I'm way iller than that Hulu nigga All white robe like I shampooed a poodle nigga I'm trying to stay alive, I ain't ready for the morgue yet Everything's smooth like a strawberry sorbet I've been around and remain silent These little niggas shooting like these niggas got talent Stay out of dodge, our poor souls is under siege We run and duck for cover every time we hear a squeeze David, mm-mm, David, mm-mm David, mm-mm, ah-ah-ah-ah Bitch thought you were safe David, mm-mm, David, mm-mm Bullets came flying Ah-ah-ah-ah Bitch thought you were safe David, mm-mm, David, mm-mm Bullets came flying Ah-ah-ah-ah Bitch thought you were safe *
