LYRICS FOR "The Professional"
Niggaz won't creep these streets with me
'Cause you know f*****' what these streets'll be
Make you wanna
'Cause I gotta
Pop-pop
Nigga
I look through the eleventh floor window
Take one last puff of the indo
Look through the scope
Break it down
Wipe the sweat off my face so I can leave safe
Outside I breathe safe
Nigga never saw it comin'
Never even thought of runnin'
Smart niggaz get niggaz killed for real
I know
It's gon' be that cat you don't see that's gon' pop you
Stop you in your motherfuckin' tracks nigga and drop you
Get rid of all the clothes
I hate to be the type of nigga to leave you
But I'm on the job
And right now there's more niggaz that need to be
Left with a head full of lead
Twenty G's a fee
The only excuse I have for what I do is
Come on
Niggaz won't creep these streets with me
'Cause you know f*****' what these streets'll be
Make you wanna
'Cause I gotta
Pop-pop
Nigga
Niggaz won't creep these streets with me
'Cause you know f*****' what these streets'll be
Make you wanna
'Cause I gotta
Pop-pop
Nigga
I can catch you in the very building that you live in
Wait until you get right at your door then start spittin'
Now they got a ribbon tied to the rail at the top of the steps
I was there
I can do that walk behind you s*** and follow you home
Make a noise
Last thing you saw was chrome and a
I blast him right
I could put a bomb in your car and watch it explode
Then make 'em call
And a small piece of your nose and
Which they really couldn't tell apart
I could be waitin'
With some f*****' chickenwire
I jump up like 'Jack in the box'
Clean up the mess and
Niggaz won't creep these streets with me
'Cause you know f*****' what these streets'll be
Make you wanna
'Cause I gotta
Pop-pop
Nigga
Niggaz won't creep these streets with me
'Cause you know f*****' what these streets'll be
Make you wanna
'Cause I gotta
Pop-pop
Nigga
I could be the UPS delivery boy
Workin' at Toys 'R' Us handin' yo' kid a brand new toy
I could be the one servin' your food wherever you go to eat at
Or that nigga on the corner that you ask
I could be the one drivin' the schoolbus that yo' kids in
Except that
A nigga got feelings
And when it's time for me to do my job
I don't get much sleep
I wish it was a lie but everything I said I meant it
I know I'm doin' wrong and everyday I beg the Lord
To forgive me for f*****' with the
S*** ain't goin' too well
I know I'm goin to Hell
Sometimes I think what will I do
Kill nigga
Niggaz won't creep these streets with me
'Cause you know f*****' what these streets'll be
Make you wanna
'Cause I gotta
Pop-pop
Nigga
Niggaz won't creep these streets with me
'Cause you know f*****' what these streets'll be
Make you wanna
'Cause I gotta
Pop-pop
Nigga
Niggaz won't creep these streets with me
'Cause you know f*****' what these
