They wanna catch you slippin'
They wanna catch you slippin'
World cavin' in, it's a shitty situation
Better watch it 'fore they write a book about you like Superhead
Of you, when you were at your lowest point in your life, darlin'
'Cause the rap game ain't much different than the crack game
Slippin'
Man, fuck the law, the whole system's corrupt
Every nigga around you is a reflection
Words misconstrued and used against you
(Don't let 'em catch you slippin', slippin', slippin', slippin')
Niggaz do dirty work, the shit fall on me
Not only do you gotta watch the boys in blue
Of you, when you were at your lowest point in your life, darlin'
I had to say it 'cause I'm that real with it
Guilty by association
(Slippin', slippin', slippin')
They wanna catch you slippin'
Too often, I seen a nigga layin' in the coffin
Public humiliation, poor representation
Every nigga around you is a reflection
Niggaz wanna catch you slippin'
And that's worth more than material objects
Of you, when you were at your lowest point in your life, darlin'
Niggaz done, flipped the script and got on some shiest shit
Slippin' with no protection, lead you in the wrong direction
Meanwhile the media promotin' the gossip
I'ma stand up type, grew up in the projects
Fuck it, just say I took one for the team
Everywhere you go, you gotta move with caution
Put a hole in the condom and say that you raped her
And watch for the snakes and the Jakes approachin'
Slippin'
And dudes quick to take these groupies to bed
So you could be a rapper, athlete or a actor
But the niggaz in your crew, you gotta watch them too
(Slippin', slippin', slippin', slippin')
Now don't you know that they want to catch you
They kicked me when I was down and stuck in a crisis
Now don't you know that they want to catch you
A street grudge put me in front of the judge
In these streets, you gotta sleep with one eye open
Every nigga around you is a reflection
I set you up for the right piece of change
Believe me, these devils find a way to get at'cha
The ones you smoke with, sold your coke with
Niggaz wanna catch you slippin'
Then you get screwed when it's time to sentence you
And real niggaz get railroaded everyday
(Don't let 'em catch you slippin', slippin', slippin', slippin')
Slippin'
But I stood there like, "What, the Bee don't budge"
Slippin' with no protection, lead you in the wrong direction
They wanna catch you slippin'
'Cause it could be the ones that you laugh and joke with
Sellin' they soul when love is priceless
All it takes is some green and your face on the screen
A lot of things come when they know you got it
(Don't let 'em catch you slippin', slippin', slippin', slippin')
Get too much money and these haters wanna touch you
Niggaz wanna catch you slippin'
Fuck 'em and leave 'em, then they after your paper
Now I can see why they all on me
You, a target and now they tryin' to get in the pockets
I kept it all in and now I'm 'bout to erupt
And have your brains on the dashboard out the Range
No more Mrs. Nice Bitch
Now don't you know that they want to catch you
(Don't let 'em catch you slippin', slippin', slippin', slippin')
It's the new hustle, gotta have brains and muscle
Of you, when you were at your lowest point in your life, darlin'
It's a foul game, no such thing as fair play
All 'cause some shit was blown out of proportion
A year and a day, three years probation
Lawsuits, lawyers prosecute for profit
Every nigga around you is a reflection
Niggaz wanna catch you slippin'
Slippin' with no protection, lead you in the wrong direction
Shinin' like a star, then you gotta deal with it
