That’s Why I Carry lyrics
by Bun B
[Intro: Pimp C]
I love motherf*ckin' UGK
Illest motherf*cker right here and a cool motherf*cker
Hate the snitches, motherf*cker
Y'all need to shoot 'em the back of the head
Kill the little motherf*cker and throw 'em in the river where the alligator eat 'em up
Okay, so that is what they do, serve the motherf*cker, right
Old, weak motherf*cker
Man, all these motherf*ckin' n*ggas out here, man, you know what I'm sayin'?
Every time I try to go somewhere (Huh?)
I got plex from these lil' sorry punk, pus*y (Man), no-good hatin'—
[Chorus]
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way (You know what I'm sayin'?)
That's why I carry my motherf*ckin' gun every single day (Every single day, man)
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way (Startin' sh*t, man)
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day (See a lot of plex on the streets, baby, know what I'm sayin'?)
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way (I'm lookin' at H-Town, north and the south side doin' it)
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day (And P.A., you know what I'm sayin'? And Port Acres doin' it)
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way (Even the east coast and the west coast got the plex, man)
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day (Man, y'all better keep it pimpish, I'm tellin' you what's real)
[Verse 1: Bun B]
My n*gga, you done pushed the wrong button, I ain't never ran this hot
Now you the number one n*gga I wanna whoop the p*ss out
And this not a threat, bet that, I ain't gon' let that sh*t slide
Gotta get that b*tch, right? Want him dead by midnight
I followed him from his crib to the crack spot
I watched him go in and come back out, I got ready to pull the MAC out
Sandwiched him, bottom-feeder of 610
Unloaded the pistol, now dirt is now what his di*k in
sh*t, I seen a slab get stripped
The disc, seats and sound gone, and candy paint burnt to a crisp
These n*ggas gettin' hated on for the '84s that they skated on
Jackers in the dark alleys waited on
The fool comin' out the gamblin' shack, pistol to his back
Took four ounces of crack and a fat doja sack
That's why I pack, my n*gga, that's why I pray
'Cause where I stay I got to carry my muthaf*ckin' gun every single day
[Chorus]
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
[Verse 2: Pimp C]
The P-L-E-X is crowding all my space
'Bout to pop this motherf*cker 'cause he standing in my place
He selling on my block, jacking from my boys
They coming on our side throwing down and talking noise
Now, I occupy my time hustling and getting paid
He occupying his time trying to get boys for they blades
Getting 'em for they Chevy 'Burbans, they jumping out of hoo-doos
Coming down swinging, jumping out of candy blues talking 'bout give it up smooth
Baby boy, it's some hating going on in P.A.
Mostly over stanky b*tches and who sold the most yay
n*ggas stunting, pulling pistols, ending up in the grave
When I pull, I always pop, that's why I'm living today
Girl-ass n*ggas causing plex between friends
And when you bust on your boy, don't neither one of y'all n*ggas win
You end up killing somebody that you really ain't wanna kill
Over a pus*y-ass n*gga that's showing ho-type skills
[Chorus]
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
[Verse 3: Bun B]
Coming from a small town of madness, late night it's all murders
Player haters, scan'lous hoes, and 'Lac-driving slab herders
Acting bad after eight, you can catch us on the late
Rolling dice, blowing and sipping on the bar straight
We got the red drank, orange drank, purple drank
Laughing at these mark hoes that say they never heard of drank
Half-gallon Big Gulp, Big Red, big cup
Drank mixed up, blowing Sweets and lighting sticks up
Now in my new world, slowed down, I can see
n*ggas talking sh*t, trying to see if what they said got to me
But ho-ass type of skills say a lot to me
You just gon' f*ck around and get yourself shot, to be
Or not to be, motherf*ckers plot to see me crack
Under pressure, so they just'll press a n*gga to see me react
These n*ggas try to stare me down like a scary clown
Don't dare me, 'round here we f*ck your game up like Larry Brown
And carry pounds of killer 'round like groceries
With a presence that make you not want to stand close to me
Talking 'bout, "We supposed to be brothers"
Don't make me laugh motherf*ckers
You chose to be on the side opposing me
Don't matter what coast you be from
Bun and C will light your world up explosively
[Chorus]
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
[Outro]
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
Motherf*ckers wanna start sh*t in every way
That's why I carry my motherf*cking gun every single day
