Genius - I Gotcha' Back Lyrics
Chorus: gza and rzaI gotcha back, but you best to watch your frontCause its the niggaz that front, they be pullin stuntsI gotcha back, but you best to watch your frontCause its the niggaz who front (they be pullin stunts)Lyrics:I was always taught my dos and dontsFor dos I did, and for donts, I said I wontIm from brooklyn, a place where stars are bornStreets are shot up, apartment buildings are tornAnd ripped up, stripped up, shacked up and backed upFrom fiends, cause the bosses on the scene, they got it cracked upKids are slingin in my lobbyLittle steve and bobbyGettin paid but its a life-threatening hobbyYeah, they still play hide and seekThe fiends seek for the crack, and they hide and let the cops peepGrown folks say they should be out on their ownBefore the gangs come and blow up their moms homeBecause they lifestyle is hectic, so *****in hecticBlaow! blaow! blaow! bullets are ejectedMy lifestyle was so far from wellCoulda wrote a book with a title age 12 and goin through hellThen I realized the planIm trapped in a deadly video game, with just one manSo I dont only watch my back, I watch my frontCause its the niggaz who front, they be pullin stuntsBack on the ave of lavonia and bristol with a pistolStickin up pamela and crystalYou know your town is dangerous when you see the strangestKid come home from doin the bid and nuthin changesWhat is the meaning of crime (what? )Is it criminals robbin innocent mother*****ers everytime?Little shorties take walks to the schoolyardTryin to solve the puzzles to why is life so hardThen as soon as they reached the playground, blaow!Shots ring off and now one of them lay downIts so hard to escape the gunfireI wish I could rule it out like an umpireBut its an everlasting game, and it never cease to existOnly the players change, so...Chorus 3xRza - I gotcha back (8x)I gotcha back so you best to watch your frontCause its the niggaz who front, that be pullin stuntsI gotcha back but you best to watch your frontIts the niggaz who front, that be pullin stuntsOutro: (lp version only)*old man*Your, tech, nique, is, mag-ni-ficentWhen cut across the neckA sound like wailing winter winds is heard, they sayId always hoped to cut someone like that somedayTo hear that soundBut to have it happen to my own neck is... ridiculous*man gasps for air*
