Live by the gun, I'm a die by the gun [x3]
A n-gga shoot at me, so you know I'm shootin back!
Live by the gun, I'm a die by the gun [x3]
A n-gga shoot at me, so you know I'm shootin back!

Live by the gun, I'm a die by the gun [x3]
A n-gga shoot at me, so you know I'm shootin back!
[Verse 2:]

Live by the gun, I'm a die by the gun [x3]
A n-gga shoot at me, so you know I'm shootin back!
