I Gave You Power

I Gave You Power



[giriş]:

Damn!

Look how muthafuckas use a nigga

Just use me for whatever the fuck they want

I don't get to say shit

Just grab me, just do what the fuck they want

Sell me, throw me away

Niggas just don't give a fuck about a nigga like me right...

Like I'm a f... I'm a gun

Shiit

It's like I'm a muthafuckin' gun

I can't believe this shit....word up..word up..



Verse One:

I seen some cold nights and bloody days

They grab me bullets spray

They use me wrong so I sing this song 'til this day

My body is cold steel for real

I was made to kill that's why they keep me concealed

Under car seats they sneak me in clubs

Been in the hands of the mad thugs

They feed me when they load me with mad slugs

Seventeen precisely, one in my head

They call me Desert Eagle smi-auto with lead

I'm seven inches four pounds

Been through so many towns

Been through so many towns

Ohio to Little Rock to Canarsie, living harshly

Beatup and battered

They pull me out

I watch this nigga scattered

Making me kill

But what I feel it never mattered

When I'm empty I'm quiet

Finding myself fienin' to be fired

A broken safety niggas place me in shelves under beds

So I beg for my next owner to be a thoroughbred

Keep me filled up with hollow heads



nakarat:

How you like me now, I go plow

It's the shit that moves crowds

Making every ghetto foul

I might have took your first child

Scarred your life, crippled your style

I gave you power

I made you buck wild

(2x)



Verse Two:

Always I'm in some shit

My abdomen is the clip

The barrel is my dick uncircumcised

Pull my skin back and cok me

I bust off when they unlock me

Results of what happens to niggas shock me

I see niggas bleedin' runnin' from me in fear

Stunningly tears

Fall down the eyes of these so-called tough guys

For years, I've been used in robberies

Giving niggas heart to follow me

Placing people in graves

Funerals made 'cause I was sprayed

I was laid in a shelf with a grenade

Met a wrecked-up tech with numbers on his chest that say 5209385 zero

Had a serial to face hoping one day police would place

Where he came from a name or some sort of person to claim him

Tired of murdering made him want to be a plain gun

But yo I had some other plans

Like the next time a beef is on

I make myself jam right in my owners hand



nakarat

How you like me now, I go plow

It's the shit that moves crowds

Making every ghetto foul

I might have took your first child

Scarred your life, crippled your style

I gave you power

I made you buck wild

(2x)



[Verse Three]:

Yo, weeks went by and I'm surprised

Still stuck in a shelf with all the things that an outlaw hides

Besides me it's bullets, two veses and a nine

There's a grenade in a box and the tech that kept cryin'

'Cause he ain't been cleaned in a year

He rusty as clear

He's about to fall to pieces

'Cause of his murder career

Yo, I can hear somebody coming in

Open the shelf

His eyes bubbling he said "it was on"

I felt his palm troubled shaking

Somebody stomped him out

His dome was aching

He placed me on his waist

The moment I've been waiting

My creation was for blacks to kill blacks

It's gats like me that accidentally

Go off making niggas memories

But this time, it's done intentionally

He brought me outside saw this cat

Cocked me back said "remember me"

He pulled the trigger but I held on

It felt wrong

Knowing niggas is waiting in hell for 'im

He squeezed harder, I didn't budge

Sick of the blodd, sick of the thugs

Sick of the wratch of the next man's grudge

What the other kid did was pull out, no doubt

A newer me in better shape

Before he let out he lead the chase

My owner fell to the floor

His wig split so fast

I didn't know he was hit, it's over with

Heard mad niggas screamin', niggas runnin', cops is comin'

Now I'm happy

Until I felt somebody else grab me

Damn!
