FRANKLIN

Get ‘em, Get ‘em, Get ‘em
Baby! X6

Buried alive
Swam wit sharks and still survived
Hung ‘em on a thin thread
Immortalized by feds
Grew in the neighborhood where we listened to rap
Everybody killa, pranksters we were far from that
Tough crowd nickel and dimes sellin' them drugs
Midnight in the club gettin' drunk celebratin' with thugs
Dollar bill or we're makin' a score
Came back wit tattoos on our arms
If you were frontin' on my block you're gettin' punked like a bitch
Got crews in Philadelphia
Couldn't get it in, slid off to Alabama
Take trips to California, right back to New York
Sayreville to Mississippi
Always kept it crispy
Unionville brought the weight from Nashville
Never thought I'd do ‘em like Kill Bill
Niggas tellin' me I need to chill
But I'm payin' the bills

Franklin, Franklin!
Gets it in!

Peace to my Brunswick cats
Plainfield niggas where you at?
My New Jersey cats
You know I've got your back

I did this one for you
To show ‘em how we do

Franklin, Franklin!
Gets it in!

Peace to my Old Bridge cats
Toms River niggas where you at?
My New Jersey thugs
You know I've got your back

I did this one for you
To show ‘em how we do

New city, new rules, didn't know who's who
Played cool by the pool ain't catchin' the pig's flu
He shoulda known he woulda overdosed
Some many times he came close
To OD he almost
Why he kissed the toast
Because he danced on the top of his grave
Thinkin' he's brave
Sold it to ‘em
Didn't give a fuck if he lived
The cops might know
Who did it
But they ain't sayin' nothin'
Except that he was dead wit some dope
Up in Franklin
Money was a cold case
With the cocaine in the vase
Methamphetamine wit heroine, gun on his waist
Baby's mama brought drama when he took the kids
He ain't respect his own mama
They would argue for days
She's on her knees tryna pray for her son
Another body on the way
Niggas getting' killed for crumbs
Now he's crunchin' on his teeth
Cause niggas gettin' crunched in the streets

Franklin, Franklin!
Gets it in!

Peace to my Camden cats
Freehold niggas where you at?
My New Jersey cats
You know I've got your back

I did this one for you
To show ‘em how we do

Franklin, Franklin!
Gets it in!

Peace to my Trenton cats
Atlantic City niggas where you at?
My New Jersey thugs
You know I've got your back

I did this one for you
To show ‘em how we do

I'm doin' thirty on this Hamilton Street, 27
‘Bout to get up out of Franklin hit 287
When I die I wanna go to heaven
Somebody pray for me my father is reverend
I just wanna be a legend
Got in trouble since eleven
I just wanna be a brethren
Pour some liquor for my niggas in Kakata
Liberia, Nelson Mandela standin' up South Africa
I do this for all the cats up in Attica

Franklin, Franklin!
Gets it in!

Peace to my Orange cats
Newark niggas where you at?
My New Jersey thugs
You know I've got your back

I did this one for you
To show ‘em how we do

Franklin, Franklin!
Gets it in!

Peace to my Princeton cats
Asbury niggas where you at?
My New Jersey thugs
You know I've got ya back

I did this one for you
To show ‘em how we do

Wildwood
Point Pleasant throw your hands up

Piscataway to Jersey City
Amboy, Amboy, man, you know what it is

Blackwood
Bound Brook to Green Brook to Elizabeth

Right up to Passaic
Watchung Hills, Ill Town, Brick City

Yo wussup New Jersey
Ah, Freddy Will, yo know I've gotcha

Ah Ha, Ah
