Gza - I Gotcha Back lyrics
rate meI gotcha back, but you best to watch your front<br />
'Cause it's the niggaz that front, they be pullin' stunts<br />
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front<br />
'Cause it's the niggaz who front<br />
(They be pullin' stunts)<br />
<br />
I was always taught my do's and don'ts<br />
For do's, I did, and for don'ts, I said, "I won't"<br />
I'm from Brooklyn, a place where stars are born<br />
Streets are shot up, apartment buildings are torn<br />
<br />
And ripped up, stripped up, shacked up and backed up<br />
From fiends, 'cause the bosses on the scene, they got it cracked up<br />
Kids are slingin' in my lobby, little Steve and Bobby<br />
Gettin' paid but it's a life threatening hobby<br />
<br />
Yeah, they still play hide and seek<br />
The fiends seek for the crack and they hide and let the cops peep<br />
Grown folks say they should be out on their own<br />
Before the gangs come and blow up their mom's home<br />
<br />
Because they lifestyle is hectic, so fuckin' hectic<br />
Blow, blow, blow, bullets are ejected<br />
My lifestyle was so far from well<br />
Coulda wrote a book with a title 'Age 12 and goin' through hell'<br />
<br />
Then I realized the plan<br />
I'm trapped in a deadly video game, with just one man<br />
So I don't only watch my back, I watch my front<br />
'Cause it's the niggaz who front, they be pullin stunts<br />
<br />
Back on the Ave of Lavonia and Bristol with a pistol<br />
Stickin' up Pamela and crystal<br />
You know, your town is dangerous<br />
When you see the strangest kid come home from doin' the bid<br />
And nuthin' changes<br />
<br />
What is the meaning of [unverified]<br />
(What?)<br />
Is it criminals robbin' innocent motherfuckers every time?<br />
Little shorties take walks to the schoolyard<br />
Tryin' to solve the puzzles to why is life so hard<br />
<br />
Then as soon as they reached the playground, blow!<br />
Shots ring off and now, one of them lay down<br />
It's so hard to escape the gunfire<br />
I wish I could rule it out like an umpire<br />
But it's an everlasting game, and it never cease to exist<br />
Only the players change, so<br />
<br />
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front<br />
'Cause it's the niggaz that front, they be pullin' stunts<br />
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front<br />
'Cause it's the niggaz who front<br />
(They be pullin' stunts)<br />
<br />
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front<br />
'Cause it's the niggaz that front, they be pullin' stunts<br />
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front<br />
'Cause it's the niggaz who front<br />
(They be pullin' stunts)<br />
<br />
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front<br />
'Cause it's the niggaz that front, they be pullin' stunts<br />
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front<br />
'Cause it's the niggaz who front<br />
(They be pullin' stunts)<br />
<br />
I gotcha back, I gotcha back<br />
I gotcha back, I gotcha back<br />
I gotcha back, I gotcha back<br />
I gotcha back, I gotcha back<br />
<br />
I gotcha back, so you best to watch your front<br />
'Cause it's the niggaz who front that be pullin' stunts<br />
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front<br />
It's the niggaz who front that be pullin' stunts<br />
<br />
Your technique is magnificent<br />
When cut across the neck<br />
A sound like wailing winter winds is heard, they say<br />
I'd always hoped to cut someone like that someday<br />
To hear that sound<br />
But to have it happen to my own neck is ridiculous
