Gotta be still while the world move around me
Mom shook from the city, got a crib in the county
Troops chasing after youths, odee for a bounty
Kids dying everyday where I'm from, and it's crowded

Never thought I'd need a gun, but now I'm thinking bout it
Tried to show the lil bro love - kicked the door to my house in
Rio was only 21, knew he couldn't leave without it
He kept it in his pocket

And yea, I'm a fighter, but I don't wanna fight
Still you could lose your life being a nice guy
And so I take these precautions, I can't think twice
'Cause if you up that, you can't think twice, can't think twice

Twice, twice
You can't think twice

I was like five, seen my ... grab the ... from the kitchen drawer
Prolly nine, hearing shots, me and mom ducking to the floor
Ten-eleven, hugging fades dolo right at my front door
Thirteen, seen life leave a body laid on our porch
Got a new lease on mine, I thought I'd shake it off
For sure be an optimist, but not delusional

And yea, I'm a fighter, but I don't wanna fight
Still you could lose your life being a nice guy
And so I take these precautions, I can't think twice
'Cause if you up that, you can't think twice, can't think twice

Twice, twice
You can't think twice
