Cniva (from kniwa, meaning "knife"; fl. mid-3rd century AD) was a Gothic chieftain who invaded the Roman Empire. He successfully captured the city of Philippopolis (Plovdiv in Bulgaria) in 250 and killed Emperor Decius and his son Herennius Etruscus at the battle of Abrittus as he was attempting to leave the Empire in 251. This was the first time a Roman Emperor had been killed in combat against barbarians. He was allowed to leave with his spoils and was paid tribute to stay out of the empire.
Cniva began the invasion of the Roman Empire when he crossed the Danube. He sent detachments throughout the Roman province of Moesia with forces of Goths, and Sarmatians. His considerable forces demanded the attention of the emperor Decius. While Cniva was laying siege to the city of Nicopolis, Decius arrived, and the Goths left and headed towards Philippopolis. Decius and his troops pursued Cniva through the difficult terrain, but soon, after many forced marches, Cniva turned his troops on Decius, who thought he was further away from the Goths. The Roman camp was surprised and Decius fled while his army was defeated. Then Cniva laid siege to Philippopolis and, after a long resistance, he conquered the city, slaying one hundred thousand people, and taking many prisoners.

Fuck a state troop, 7 let the cake loose
Brawling up the eye 94, of the great goose

Getting bitches and they can't stand up
Pimp brooking ever green, Tony Montana

Stay away like I've been quarantined
Or else I splatter you and write your name in blood on the wall
So the hood know it's me
I'm on the scene, let nobody in the beam
My whole G is rocking glue, but he fall about the green
You can't touch us, you be transparent
You can't stand in the way of the shots
Of going through you and your man's parents
Don't stand glaring, the wrong way
I throw your man's... top the will of a pharis
With a gun that's named 7
He's a rebel with a weapon,
The west and the half is distressing
Crying, speaking with a weapon
Begging him to ask he a question
Is it really a heaven?
You about to find out, see the news clips at 11

And once again homie if you speak beef
I'll shoot you and scream increase the peace!
