Gang Starr - Just To Get A Rep Lyrics
Stick up kids is out to tax (2x)And this is how the story goesBrothers are amused by others brothers repsBut the thing they know best is where the gun is keptcause in the night, youll feel frightAnd at the sight of a 4-5th, I guess you just mightWanna do a dance or twocause they could maybe bust you for self or wit a crewNo matter is you or your brothers a starHe could pop you in check without a getaway carAnd some might say that hes a dummyBut sticking you and taking all of your moneyIts a daily operationHe might be loose in the park or lurking at the train stationMad brothers know his nameSo he thinks he got a little fameFrom the stick-up gameAnd while were blaming societyHes at a party with his manThey got their eye on the gold chainThat the next mans wearingIt looks big but they aint staringJust thinking of a way and when to get the brotherTheyll be long gone before the kid recoversAnd back around the way, hell have the chain on his neckClaimin respect, just to get a repTen brothers in a circleHad the kid trapped, the one wit the hood, he said, well hurt youIf you dont run out your dues and payGive up the rolex watch or you wont see another daySee, they were on the attackAnd one said, yo, you wanna make this to a homicide rap?Make it fast so we can be on our wayKick in the rings and everything, ok?The kid was nervous and flinchingAnd little shorty with the 3-8, yo, he was inchinCloser and closer, put the gun to his headShorty was down to catch a body insteadMoney was scared so he panickedTook off his link and his rings and ran franticBut shorty said, now pulled the trigger and steppedIt was nothing, he did it just to get a rep
