Ice-t - Retaliation lyrics

Every year the same sh** happens More f**in' funerals, dead homies n***as out here k**in' each other I don't know why And when it happens to you Just can't turn the other f**in' cheek Gotta get back for your dead n***as Yeah I'm caught up to Sometimes I sit and wonder How many motherf**ers gonna die this summer Gunshots from the hummer Now the sawed-off riot pumps lead across your beds They said: "Mama, less you wouldn't strike back" Mack ten, eleven, twelve, hit us and then puts us to hell They started it, there's no way to mend it, we'll end it My crew'll hit the mattresses, God Father style all prepared to get buckwild Half my n***as ball, other half ain't got it all They stay up at nights waitin' on a combat call Drinkin' hard liquor, smokin' mad loop and sh** So high, sometimes I even gotta load they clips I ain't mad at them though, they dumps the ammo In you, suspend you in here, hell yeah It's the time that the real n***as live for retaliation Move on 'em, show, improve on 'em All you punk b**hes just stand back and watch Me, I'm oilin' up the Heckler & Gotch I gots no love, for them busters, who put the work in I can still see my f**in' boys' body jerkin' I ran over to him, put my hand on his chest Hole like an apple in the side of his neck His eyes glanced up, his body jerked once more There's nothin' else to do but to go to war Slide the hollow-tips in the chrome four-four Roll down the windows, hang the heat out the door Catch all the f**in' bodies that I can tonight Double-back on your b**h crew, broad daylight There's no innocence allowed in these ghetto streets Grab your guns, buck 'em off, when ya hit your leak Tell me what would you do if they k**ed your best friend? Could you keep your cool, would the wounds mend? If I said "peace", I'll be a motherf**in' liar (I'm lettin' off until my arms tired) Retaliation Been packin' straps so long I gots some permanent bruise in my leg Better that than dead Now it's time to show you what I'm trained for in this Rally up the wolf pack-attack relentless Make ya understand it was the wrong crew ya f** with Now it's on b**hes, guys are darker than sh** You musta not a known when you f**in' hit that day Or maybe you di, you're dyin' anyway And not just you, some of your family To tell you the truth any f**in' body we see You might just want to turn yourself into me To save your hood pain of my crews' treachery You f**ed up, we know who you are, where ya live We got your place ran up to a cop on the tick We'll hit your block so hard, you'll swear it was an earthquake Squeeze off the fully-auto, make your whole crib shake I know you're breathin' hard, livin' on your last day Or maybe, you're laughin', thinkin' that you got away I don't give a f**, I won't sleep Till one of us lays me and my n***a That's the fear of these triggers If ya smart, ya probably make a break out of state We'll just snatch your kid, grab your f**in' b**h and wait I'll catch ya down South, lay your a** out straight There's no where to run, it's time to meet your make You got one chance, arm your whole damn crew I couldn't stop my f**in' n***as if I wanted to There's no innocence allowed in these ghetto streets Grab your guns, buck 'em off, when ya hit your leak Tell me what would you do if they k**ed your best friend? Could you keep your cool, would the wounds mend? If I said "peace", I'll be a motherf**in' liar ("I'm lettin' off until my arms tired") Retaliation ("Lettin' off until my arms tired")
