White man made me venom to eliminate
Whether your Biggie or 'Pac when the gun draws
Killed Kings in Tennessee, presidents in Dallas
I will remind that ass when it's about to rain like
Then darkness falls and oh, your heart beats rapidly
Be prepared because war is coming
If I'm in lodged then your soul's not claimed
Fatality shot entered from the right temple
Then darkness falls and oh, your heart beats rapidly

First the gun draws and you know that something's happening
What happened that afternoon on the Grassy Knoll
Grab a gun so easily and shoot a bullet
Good evening, my name's Mr. Bullet
Strange that is, when all exits are final
Who the fuck told you to put they names on me?
It's what made a widow of Jackie O.
The government hired Lee Harvey to blast me though
One false move just might shift me
Can it be that it was all so simple
Would the new method of murder be arson or firebombs
Whether domestic violence or coke deals
Quick man, nickname's Quaker Oates 'cause
You can't be scared now when the streets is calling you
Point blank range that is
Flesh, bone, ain't nothin’ for me to penetrate
And if the past be known, at last we know
Be prepared because war is coming
First the gun draws and you know that something's happening
I come through your city, I'm hot whether you're jiggy or not
Be prepared because war is coming
And it can happen so swiftly
I respond to the index when you pull it
See how less has changed, brain matter to oatmeal

My attitude is cold and callous
First the gun draws and you know that something's happening

Into the middle of a child’s face as my daughter experienced

Especially when I'm in the hood, I never discriminate
Was not fired from a six story window

Something is wrong
Then darkness falls and oh, your heart beats rapidly
You can't be scared now when the streets is calling you, you, you
But yet remains so painful to rekindle?
Just get in 'em, then I renovate
And when I kill kids, they say shame on me
If the cost of a single bullet was more than the firearm?
The trigger, so make a note, take a vote

You can't be scared now when the streets is calling you
