<br>
<i>[Intro, Kobe:]</i><br />
I wake up-wake up in the morning,<br />
'Cuz them boys come knocking in the morning,<br />
Then I have me girl go flush in the toilet,<br />
Them say did someone get murdered on the corner?<br />
Them say did someone see me, seen someone get shot,<br />
Them say they saw me dere...<br />
My nigga they won't break me, an' I'll go crazy,<br />
Before they make me tell... <br />
<br />
<i>[Hook:]</i><br />
There was a murder by the corner house, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa.<br />
Them boys asking questions now, no-no-no-no-no.<br />
Now everybody seen it, but don't nobody know,<br />
What happened to the boy down the street a week ago;<br />
Ain't nobody talking, they keep it on the low,<br />
Don't open ya mouth, when they knocking at ya do'<br />
'Cause niggas die out here for snitching, they dying for snitching...O-K!<br />
These niggas die out here for snitching, they dying for snitching...O-K! <br />
<br />
<i>[Pusha-T:]</i><br />
Those who break the code, we dig them hole.<br />
What's worse than a street nigga that sells his soul?<br />
Via the life we chose, we pick our roles,<br />
Bad man stands an' fall but never fold.<br />
Gangster turn informer when the jig's up,<br />
Ya tool mix-up mix-up,<br />
Babylon boys, get bodies left for pick-up. <br />
Blood puddle, gun muffle, guns couple,<br />
Muzzle in mouth, we bring trouble.<br />
Soon police come rush, whole family crushed,<br />
All because them pussies couldn't 'ush.<br />
Shot box mouths with no covers,<br />
Body 'pon body gets stacked, one top th'other.<br />
Wish them hadn't to suffer.<br />
<br />
<i>[HOOK]</i> <br />
<br />
<i>[Malice:]</i><br />
Nobody seen nothing, heard nothing,<br />
They ain't said a word.<br />
Just chalk and yellow tape, with blood 'pon them shirts.<br />
Ashes to ashes his body back to the Earth,<br />
That casket drop six feet, then throw upon it dirt.<br />
"Mum's the word", that's hustler's etiquette;<br />
Ya rather hang yourself, than turn state evidence <br />
Ever since, I was young, never talk to the folk;<br />
Tongue small like a rudder, yet steer the 'ole boat!<br />
Loose lip the reason that ship no longer float;<br />
Telling the Feds everyting they wanna know;<br />
That fatal blow took his very last breath,<br />
The power of ya tongue, is life-and-death, ya feel me?<br />
<br />
<i>[HOOK]</i>
