Song by GZA / Genius<br /><br>

I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front<br>

Cause its the niggaz that front, they be pullin stunts<br>

I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front<br>

Cause its the niggaz who front (they be pullin stunts)<br>

<br>

I was always taught my dos and donts<br>

For dos I did, and for donts, I said I wont<br>

Im from brooklyn, a place where stars are born<br>

Streets are shot up, apartment buildings are torn<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<br>

Little steve and bobby<br>

Gettin paid but its a life-threatening hobby<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 moms home<br>

Because they lifestyle is hectic, so fuckin hectic<br>

Blaow! blaow! blaow! 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>

Then I realized the plan<br>

Im trapped in a deadly video game, with just one man<br>

So I dont only watch my back, I watch my front<br>

Cause its the niggaz who front, they be pullin stunts<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 when you see the strangest<br>

Kid come home from doin the bid and nuthin changes<br>

What is the meaning of crime (what? )<br>

Is it criminals robbin innocent motherfuckers everytime? <br>

Little shorties take walks to the schoolyard<br>

Tryin to solve the puzzles to why is life so hard<br>

Then as soon as they reached the playground, blaow!<br>

Shots ring off and now one of them lay down<br>

Its so hard to escape the gunfire<br>

I wish I could rule it out like an umpire<br>

But its an everlasting game, and it never cease to exist<br>

Only the players change, so...<br>

<br>

Chorus 3x<br>

<br>

Rza - I gotcha back (8x)<br>

I gotcha back so you best to watch your front<br>

Cause its the niggaz who front, that be pullin stunts<br>

I gotcha back but you best to watch your front<br>

Its the niggaz who front, that be pullin stunts<br>

<br>

Outro: (lp version only)<br>

<br>

*old man*<br>

Your, tech, nique, is, mag-ni-ficent<br>

When cut across the neck<br>

A sound like wailing winter winds is heard, they say<br>

Id 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<br>

*man gasps for air*<br>

<br>
