Kill That Nigga

Mobb Deep · Infamy [2001]

[Havoc]

Yo, It's like this man, It's real simple

If my nigga was my nigga like I thought he was

Would he have snitched, hung me out the dry to fuck

Guess you don't know a nigga 'till you catch a case with 'em

It aint all gravy just because you make cake with 'em

It's real, niggaz scared to death of state prison

To the end when a nigga get caught start snitchin'

Imagine the eyes of a nigga that you knew

For about 20 joints with the nerve to point

Hurt worser than that physical pain

You fed this nigga rolled with the sorry fuck now he switchin' to lame

Niggaz in the box could relate to my pain

All I got is my word and I'ma get you thats my word

Through family friends or even fuckin' your bird

Fuck it anything long as your death occur

Whatever happened to death before dishonor

It's time for your end and i'ts my honor

Chorus

(Kill that nigga)

Never wish death, only if I have to, if it's my last option left

(Kill that nigga)

Should of kept your mouth tight he's losin' his life

Be locked up or sending out kites

[Prodigy]

Ay yo this nigga runnin' 'round runnin' his mouth speakin' on the wrong

shit

What the fuck is this Dave Letterman shit on the late night

Creep on the talk show as rap asses get shot in they throat, speak on

that

Girlie mouth nigga you worse than a bitch

I done shot niggaz for you put my life at risk

How you gonna go behind me and knife my back

Must be insane and I got a cure for that

My hammer will knock sense in the nigga real quick

Nail a nigga tongue with the four fifth

Nigga you in violation of that code of silence

Niggaz like you get real niggaz indicted

We can't have that, kidnap that bitch torture and tourment that snitch

We gotta make examples out these hummigbird fucks

Matter fact pull 'em out the trunk, I'm bout to

Chorus (repeat 2x)

Never wish death

Kill that nigga (3x)

I'm sendin' out kites

Kill that nigga (4x)
