Retaliation Lyrics - 7th Deadly Sin - Ice T

Every year the same shit happens 

More fuckin' funerals, dead homies 

Niggas out here killin' each other 

I don't know why 

And when it happens to you 

Just can't turn the other fuckin' cheek 

Gotta get back for your dead niggas 

Yeah I'm caught up to 

Sometimes I sit and wonder 

How many motherfuckers gonna die this summer 

Gunshots from the hummer 

Now the sawed-off riot pumps lead across your beds 

They said: "Mama, less you wouldn't strike back" 

Mack ten, eleven, twelve, hit us and then puts us to hell 

They started it, there's no way to mend it, we'll end it 

My crew'll hit the mattresses, God 

Father style all prepared to get buckwild 

Half my niggas ball, other half ain't got it all 

They stay up at nights waitin' on a combat call 

Drinkin' hard liquor, smokin' mad loop and shit 

So high, sometimes I even gotta load they clips 

I ain't mad at them though, they dumps the ammo 

In you, suspend you in here, hell yeah 

It's the time that the real niggas live for retaliation 

Move on 'em, show, improve on 'em 

All you punk bitches just stand back and watch 

Me, I'm oilin' up the Heckler & Gotch 

I gots no love, for them busters, who put the work in 

I can still see my fuckin' boys' body jerkin' 

I ran over to him, put my hand on his chest 

Hole like an apple in the side of his neck 

His eyes glanced up, his body jerked once more 

There's nothin' else to do but to go to war 

Slide the hollow-tips in the chrome four-four 

Roll down the windows, hang the heat out the door 

Catch all the fuckin' bodies that I can tonight 

Double-back on your bitch crew, broad daylight 

There's no innocence allowed in these ghetto streets 

Grab your guns, buck 'em off, when ya hit your leak 

Tell me what would you do if they killed your best friend? 

Could you keep your cool, would the wounds mend? 

If I said "peace", I'll be a motherfuckin' liar 

(I'm lettin' off until my arms tired) Retaliation 

Been packin' straps so long I gots some permanent bruise in my leg 

Better that than dead 

Now it's time to show you what I'm trained for in this 

Rally up the wolf pack-attack relentless 

Make ya understand it was the wrong crew ya fuck with 

Now it's on bitches, guys are darker than shit 

You musta not a known when you fuckin' hit that day 

Or maybe you di, you're dyin' anyway 

And not just you, some of your family 

To tell you the truth any fuckin' body we see 

You might just want to turn yourself into me 

To save your hood pain of my crews' treachery 

You fucked up, we know who you are, where ya live 

We got your place ran up to a cop on the tick 

We'll hit your block so hard, you'll swear it was an earthquake 

Squeeze off the fully-auto, make your whole crib shake 

I know you're breathin' hard, livin' on your last day 

Or maybe, you're laughin', thinkin' that you got away 

I don't give a fuck, I won't sleep 

Till one of us lays me and my nigga 

That's the fear of these triggers 

If ya smart, ya probably make a break out of state 

We'll just snatch your kid, grab your fuckin' bitch and wait 

I'll catch ya down South, lay your ass out straight 

There's no where to run, it's time to meet your make 

You got one chance, arm your whole damn crew 

I couldn't stop my fuckin' niggas if I wanted to 

There's no innocence allowed in these ghetto streets 

Grab your guns, buck 'em off, when ya hit your leak 

Tell me what would you do if they killed your best friend? 

Could you keep your cool, would the wounds mend? 

If I said "peace", I'll be a motherfuckin' liar 

("I'm lettin' off until my arms tired") 

Retaliation 

("Lettin' off until my arms tired")
