East Coast State of Mind

I normally don't flip so excuse my french
but s working my nerves and can't take a hint
I'm bout to pop off at the mouth like DMX
my tongue is my gat, and my wind is my sluggs
but my lips being the safety bout to get lifted if i hear about another mugg
I'm not even about beef but always surrounded by messy people
one issue afta another, if i see the wrong person betta cover ya temple
cause trust me if i catch you in public, ain't no patato to silence my killing
but thanks to God my temper is a short lived feelin
been a good victim for so so long, ready to trade in for an unsuspected villian*
