Nigga 1993 hooked up with Eazy…E. 1994 rushin' through the door, with the bone flow, nigga was creepin up on ah come-up, doing it foe the love of money. Went platinium, set to split ya, the way we hit ya. 1995 we really let 'em know, "Cleveland is the city where we come from." Brung styles muthafuckas never heard before, though we never got our props 'til we dropped that sad song. See you at the Crossroads. But "the man" gone, Eazy runnin' with the lost souls. Rest in peace. Now it's 1996, we back in the mix. I guess they thought we was gonna quit (quit) but we had love for this shit. But everything started changin'. Business rearrangin', and then a time when Bone & Ruthless wasn't vibin'. Tryin' to keep my mind together through all the industry shit. Somehow I'm feelin' like what I deserve I didn't get. But I'ma stick it out. Believe I'ma keep my head up. And showin' loyalty for Eazy-E even though I'm fed up. 1997. Hey, everybody grab your weapon it's the Art Of War! It don’t stop, it won't (drop) stop until they drop, body rott. Not to mention when we venture through the family scriptures. 1999 nigga (nigga) still strugglin'. Tryin' to get some money with this mastermind I'm jugglin'. Sharpen up your thug mentality (mentality). And by the year 2000, I'll be thuggin' but so immaculate. I gotta get some money, blast if I get hungry. So if you read then I done flipped, then you know the story—about me.

Take a good look into my eyes, written all over my face: Your bloody death! What a bloody, bloody, mess. I'm servin' you none the less. Real uncommon, a crazy muthafucka for the world's most dangerous group. Mo Thug nation’s bout to blow up your life and senses. So look at what ya'll do? Blast the niggas that thought they knew me. I'm that muthafucka, 5th Dawg, that hog, nigga that'll bust all y'all. My mission in life: To be the coldest nigga that ever spit shit on the mic. I'm doin' it smooth, rockin' this hip-hop music just the way you like. Tellin' all biters to please stop tryin'. Then they gonna fry, fool, when I make my move all y'all gonna die. Split 'em and fry, will a hot slug end his life? Four-five pop, shot went through his head. Oh my, oh my, now look what you made me do—this nigga dead! It ain’t my fault! You niggas too soft ain't got no skill, now look through them all, grown style stealers. Y’all some fake thug never tryin’ to get noticed, hangin’ with stars. No need to say no names, niggas don’t know who the fuck you are! We are trues humbly united gatherin’ souls, how we roll? And I stuff 'em and I fold and I show these hoes. Better have my dough, and they too slow to get off my nuts! Mo Thugsta bet he won’t hesitate to buck when he lust. We can dust on these bustas, so they duck me! Only got love for those who love me. In the meanwhile, I'm into keepin’ my mind on my money. And no—the shit to me, still ain’t funny. Nigga, especially when you hungry, nigga, with no hustle, nigga, to get them funds!

In 1991, I'm runnin' from the fuckin' cops. (whoo!…) Don't you know it (…whooo!) know it? Big Wish was tryin' to find a hiding spot, it's showin', (keep going!) Know niggas never had no pussy, said they would never eat and get to L.A. and niggas went cannibal on me. Either smokin' that reefer. Niggas know how I'm livin' 'cause I was havin' children when y'all was lookin' for women. Put mine aside and while you tellin' your Sci-Fi-Fi. When niggas ain't have shit, tellin' me who's the one that rides. (Buck, buck,…) We don’t lie! (…buck!) You can call me Mr. Murder Mo. Gettin' jumped, burn the whole store down all by myself. Seen him doing his own shows, now fuckin' with the Bone flow. Heaven and Earth got my number (number). And you got it wrong. And what you want my people to hear, that I'm some fuckin' sell out? But who’s the one on solo shit and who want me the hell out? I bail out when I want. (Do what the fuck you wanna do!) No pussy makes me change, go expansion on the mansion, more acres on the shootin' range. Shootin' things, shootin' things. It don't make me the villian. The villian is chillin' with his children. Bitch! (Biatch I keeps it real!)

I keep my mind on my money, my money on my mind! A straight up soldier in the field. Out here pushing my line! Nigga designed to go prime as I'm racing through this obstacle. Double-0-7 Layzie Bone knew it was possible. Got shot, got out the hospital, started on my mission. Listen, nigga pay attention. Oh, and did I mention had a tape before I crept on ah come up—Faces of Death. Blessin' 40 .oz's! Lay, Leather Face, and Double Z's! Niggas often wonder why my mind on my money. Nigga, these bitches all up on me, and half the industry's phony. It's like this nigga, I don't even fuck around. If a nigga ain't got no money for Lay, I don't come around! Ain't it funny how niggas turn funny style? When they think they ballin' chickens, ain't even ran a mile. See my niggas doing their damned thing. Flesh: Trues Humbly United Gathering Souls, just to let you know. Heaven'z Movie, your's truly: Mr. Gambini. (Kraaayzie) Mr. Mentality. Up next to the bat, it's little Stevey! And when you ask me how I'll maintain. I watch my niggas rule, act a fool, and ace the game. Mo Thug 1: witness the Family Scriptures. Mo Thug 2: Family Reunion coming to get you. Mo Thug 3: Presentation of the Mothership. Niggas on some other ship (shit!), I smoke and maintain!
