Lyrics
0:02D**n Look how muh f**kers use a n***a
0:06Just use me for whatever the f**k they want
0:09I don't get to say s**t
0:10Just grab me just do what the f**k they want
0:14Sell me throw me away
0:16N***az just don't give a f**k about a n***a like me right
0:19Like I'm a f I'm a gun s**t
0:22It's like I'm a motherf**kin gun
0:24I can't believe this s**t
0:26Word up
0:26Word up
0:27I seen some cold nights and bloody days
0:29They grab and me bullets spray
0:30They use me wrong so I sing this song 'til this day
0:33My body is cold steel for real
0:35I was made to kill that's why they keep me concealed
0:38Under car seats they sneak me in clubs
0:40Been in the hands of mad thugs
0:42They feed me when they load me with mad slugs
0:44Seventeen precisely one in my head
0:47They call me Desert Eagle semi auto with lead
0:49I'm seven inches four pounds been through so many towns
0:53Ohio to Little Rock to Canarsie livin harshly
0:56Beat up and battered they pull me out
0:58I watch as n***az scattered makin me kill
1:00But what I feel it never mattered
1:01When I'm empty I'm quiet findin myself fiendin to be fired
1:05A broken safety n***az place me in shelves
1:07Under beds so I beg for my next owner to be a thoroughbred
1:11Keep me full up with hollow heads
1:13Nas
1:13Repeat 2X
1:13How you like me now I go blaow
1:15It's that s**t that moves crowds makin every ghetto foul
1:18I might have took your first child
1:20Scarred your life crippled your style
1:24I gave you power
1:34I made you buck wild
1:35Always I'm in some s**t my abdomen is the clip
1:38The barrel is my d**k uncircumcised
1:40Pull my skin back and cock me I bust off when they unlock me
1:43Results of what happens to n***az shock me
1:46I see n***az bleedin runnin from me in fear stunningly tears
1:49Fall down the eyes of these so called tough guys for years
1:52I've been used in robberies givin n***az heart to follow me
1:55Placin peoples in graves funerals made cause I was sprayed
1:58I was laid in a shelf with a grenade
2:00Met a wrecked up tech with numbers on his chest that say
2:03Five two oh nine three eight five and zero
2:05Had a serial defaced hopin one day police would place
2:09Where he came from a name or some sort of person to claim him
2:12Tired of murderin made him wanna be a plain gun
2:15But yo I had some other plans like the next time the beef is on
2:18I make myself jam right in my owner's hand
2:43Yo weeks went by and I'm surprised
2:45Still stuck in the shelf with all the things that an outlaw hides
2:48Besides me it's bullets two vests and then a nine
2:51There's a grenade in a box and that tech that kept cryin
2:54Cause he ain't been cleaned in a year he's rusty as clear
2:57He's bout to fall to pieces cause of his murder career
2:59Yo I can hear somebody comin in open the shelf
3:02His eyes bubblin he said It was on
3:04I felt his palm troubled him shakin
3:06Somebody stomped him out his dome was achin
3:09He placed me on his waist the moment I've been waitin
3:11My creation was for blacks to kill blacks
3:13It's gats like me that accidentally go off makin n***az memories
3:17But this time it's done intentionally
3:19He walked me outside saw this cat
3:21Cocked me back said Remember me
3:23He pulled the trigger but I held on it felt wrong
3:25Knowing n***az is waiting in hell for 'I'm
3:28He squeezed harder I didn't budge sick of the blood
3:30Sick of the thugs sick of wrath of the next man's grudge
3:33What the other kid did was pull out no doubt
3:36A newer me in better shape before he lit out he lead the chase
3:40My owner fell to the floor his wig split so fast
3:42I didn't know he was hit it's over with
3:45Heard mad n***az screamin n***az runnin cops is comin
3:48Now I'm happy until I felt somebody else grab me
3:51D**n
