A military mind nigga
A military mind mean money
A criminal grind nigga
A criminal grind mean hustle
You know

We tradin' war stories
We outlaws on the rise
Jealous niggas I despise
Look in my eyes

We tradin' war stories
We outlaws on the rise
Jealous niggas I despise
Look in my eyes

Verse 1: Tupac

Now can your mind picture
A thug nigga drinkin hard liquor
This ghetto life has got me catchin up to god quicker
Who would figure that all I need was a 
hair-trigga semi-automatic mack-11 just to scare niggas
Pardon my thug poetry
But suckers is born everyday
And fear of man, grow on trees
Criminal ties for centuries
A legend in my own rhymes
So niggas whisper when they mention Makaveli was my crew to that I'm ?
My father figure
Mama sent me to go play with the drug dealers
Hence forth
We thug niggas and we came in packs
Every one of niggas strapped sippin on 'nac (Cognac)
In the back, my AR-15
Thuggin till I die
These streets got me cravin thorozine (a drug)
My lyrics are blueprints to money makin'
Fat as that ass that honey shakin
My niggas trading war stories

Chorus

We tradin' war stories
We outlaws on the rise
Jealous niggas I despise
Look in my eyes

We tradin' war stories
We outlaws on the rise
Jealous niggas I despise
Look in my eyes

Verse 2

I must stay thuggin and shit
They call it overthuggin and shit
But I was just a young'n nigga gettin older and lovin this shit
But what was I doin in this place?
To the fakes without a pistol in the first
Facin' termination in the worst
But I figured, to play the war
To watch all these playa hatin niggas position
For I could see em all
Made it up out of there
Lucky to be here
Tell you, but it'll never be a repeat
Peep what I'm tryin to tell you

Now picture the scenery
I'm thugged out smokin greenery
Considered a BG (baby gangsta) but I'm offering 
This game something deeply
My eyes only see these
That's why I'm young and burnt out
Learned to know how, well to do now
By 18, turned out
And why I do thee
To rob and smokin', kill of my foes in the worst place
Y'all shouldn't of fucked with us
In the first place
Y'all real OG's (original gangsta) droppin' game to the youngsters
Y'all don't want no funk
Cause y'all be the next in the long line of war stories

Chorus

We tradin' war stories
We outlaws on the rise
Jealous niggas I despise
Look in my eyes

We tradin' war stories
We outlaws on the rise
Jealous niggas I despise
Look in my eyes

Verse 3

I starts em off with this gansta raw story tale
Stackin' loot up in the coup that I protect with a mack-12
Slap my clip in the chamber
Fool
Your life's in danger (danger)
No one will remain when I come through dumpin insane
Call me baller Major Payne
Ya slay and move and gain
I be the nigga pullin the trigga and dumpin the hollow points in your brain
Mo bigger balls that Ru-Paul
Thug Life ain't a ball
We bust that ass up against a wall
? as for men call
We bucks em down on the way to the ground
Ain't nuttin but the hog in me
This stuff is real, dough
Killin the po's and keep mobbin, G
It ain't no comin' to fuck all
? with a sawed off
Blast they dirty ass drawers off
And had them bitch niggas hauled off
We tradin' war stories

Chorus

We tradin' war stories
We outlaws on the rise
Jealous niggas I despise
Look in my eyes

We tradin' war stories
We outlaws on the rise
Jealous niggas I despise
Look in my eyes

Verse 4: Napoleon

My whole family been raised
On shit that ain't ok
Ain't nothing on this earth, can make a nigga like me stay
I'm reminiscing
And catching flash backs
When niggas ran up in my house
And I was too young
To try to blast back
What happened then?
No one would tell me since I was three
Heard that got to my peoples now they living somewhere free
But fuck that
You got what's mines and I want that
Never drop my guard
Been on the squad
Since way back
And now I'm sitting
Overly angered cause my parents missing
Thuggin' Immortal we got some war stories for ya

Storm

Now look at me
Str8 Outlaw Immortal
Never gave a fuck
Cause I was nobodies daughter
Outlaw'n from my tits to my clips
Don't try figure
Cause the murderous tendencies of my mind
Can be controlled nigga
So who's the bigger?
Who's the quickest killer?
And would you try to trip
With my finger on the nine milla (millimeter)?
When I got you on all k-9 fours
Praying to God that your life
Goes back and forth
We tradin' war stories

Chorus repeated till end
