"Look, If I shoot you, I'm famous If you shoot me, you're brainless"—you said it yourself I'm slick enough to twist your lines and send them back at you Swift enough to snatch the Mac and pop that at you Take it personal see if I won't send you to hell I've done told Tone and Poke, they better have my bail But if it's over a mil, don't put the crib up, dun 'Cause if 50 get free, nigga, 50 gon' run [Chorus] It's best you be a gentleman and you watch what you say (Brrat, brrat!) For Jesus Christ can't save you, once you go 'gainst the grain (It's gangsta!) It's best you be a gentleman and you watch what you say (Brrat, nigga, take that!) For Jesus Christ can't save you, once you go 'gainst the grain (It's gangsta!) [Verse 2] Look, I'm supposed to be cocky, I ain't poor no more I ain't gotta steal from the corner store no more Got my own crib, I ain't sleepin' on the floor no more Bouncers don't try to play me at the door no more But when they see me, they say, "Search him, he might have the nine" (Yeah!) "He might shoot this motherfucker up like Shyne" It's been a while since a new nigga came tight like this (Uh-huh) Ya man, he aight, but he ain't quite like this Niggas is feelin' it, the Benz pullin' up on the set (Uh-huh) Me jumpin' out, 30 thou on my neck (Uh-huh, uh-huh) That shit you said wasn't nuttin' to sweat (What) But you was outta line so here's what you get A verbal ass-kicking, Jesus Christ sent me to test ya Let's see how see how... he reacts under pressure Til Makaveli returns, it's all eyes on me Til the feds build a case or find files on me [Chorus] It's best you be a gentleman and you watch what you say (Brrat, brrat!) For Jesus Christ can't save you, once you go 'gainst the grain (It's gangsta!) It's best you be a gentleman and you watch what you say (Brrat, nigga, take that!) For Jesus Christ can't save you, once you go 'gainst the grain (It's gangsta!) [Outro] It's gangsta 2000 shit Yo Y'all know what you need to do?
