[Intro]
(Snake)
Money in (Terrace Martin)
Get, get you some money, man, it’ll make you feel different
Soul
Real s*it (Ayy)
Motivation (Man)

[Chorus]
A righteous man from the gang, homi
ot a bullet with your name on it (Name on it)
A righteous man from the gang, homie (Game)

Got a bullet with your name on it, yeah
A righteous man from the gang, homie (Shoot)
Got a bullet with your name on it (Name on it)
Long Term tatted on the knuckles (Uh)
The marathon ain’t never stop, you hustling or not?
You hustling or not? Uh
A righteous man from the gang, homi
ot a bullet with your name on it (Yo)
(Bang)

[Verse 1]
A real n!gga see a Rollie, then he motivated (Yuh)
A broke n!gga see it, then he supposed to hate it (Pu*sy)
Sheeps and shepherds, chiefs and Indians, yeah
The enemy of my enemy is my friend (Aw)
Cops and robbers, n!ggas and crackers (Tuh)
The music industry and rappers (Facts)
Psychological warfare
For affirmative action, the static determine your status
I’m moving the masses, but I ain’t a Catholic
I’m a Christian taking communion
Praying for unity in my community, usually viewing me as a activist
I was just a lunatic, double cup and my Actavis
Tryna go platinum, fu*k on some models and actresses
Chasing the vanity, that was the man in insanity

But in spite of this, my intentions were genuine
I was making music with mutiny, that was confusingly
Consumer who wasn’t used to be
Ascension and enlightenment that I presented
My future was looking bright, but my light was dimming
‘Cause nobody likes to know it all and I’m a know-it-all
Get to know me, y’all (Get to know me, y’all)

[Chorus]
A righteous man from the gang, homi
ot a bullet with your name on it (Bullet with your name on it)
A righteous man from the gang, homi
ot a bullet with your name on it, yeah
A righteous man from the gang, homi
ot a bullet with your name on it (Bullet with your name on it)
Long Term tatted on the knuckles, yeah
The marathon ain’t never stop, you hustling or not?
You hustling or not? (N!gga)
Huh (Huh)
A righteous man from the gang, homie (Gang, homie)
Got a bullet with your name on it (Look)

[Verse 2]
Pop at you lames ’cause I’m sucka-proof (Sucker-proof)
Don’t play no games, boy, I’m buster-proof (Buster-proof)
Legally blind, it wasn’t wise for me to shoot
But my tongue is like a gun, I’m aiming right at you (Boom)
We can line it up, n!ggas’ll pull your card on the boulevard
And light your ass up like Raichu (Huh)
My n!ggas took penitentiary risks
I took a pen and insisted on getting rich off a haiku, yeah
Doe had the 40 with the red nose (Doeburger)
We called that motherfu*ker, “Rudolph” (N!gga)
Looking sporty on Melrose (Uh)
With at least forty to fu*k off, b!tch
Swear to God, they called me in choir when Ermias died
He was ready to ride, I was like, “Hold off”
We gotta let him be a martyr for the cause (Word)
If the cycle persists, his whole premise was wrong (Man)
He said, “Say less”
‘Cause you ain’t gotta explain what’s understood (Nah)
I said, “Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Bound to get decapitated,” he said, “Neighborhood” (You know, you know)

[Chorus]
A righteous man from the gang, homi
ot a bullet with your name on it (Name on it)
A righteous man from the gang, homie (Gang, homie)
Got a bullet with your name on it (Name on it)
A righteous man from the gang, homie (Shoot)
Got a bullet with your name on it, yeah
Long Term tatted on the knuckles (Ah)
The marathon ain’t never stop, you hustling or not?
You hustling or not? (Not)
Huh
A righteous man from the gang, homi
ot a bullet with your name on it
Look
Ayy

[Outro]
Bro, I got the god in this motherfu*ker with me
Right now, stop playing, see what I’m saying?
I know good, yeah
Gotta wake up to that good s*it, you feel me?
Got Soul-O in this motherfu*ker
Y’all better know that
We got a lot of good music and
We got a lot of good s*it that we been working on
Soul got new s*it, man, that s*it coming
Y’all just gotta stay tuned
Y’all know y’all gotta stay down for the come up
See what I’m saying?
You know you gotta stay down for the come up, no cap
