    Raided Unforgiven

    Ain't got no love to sinnin
    Ain't no love recieved
    Fucc explainin
    Nigga believe whatcha wanna believe
    You've been decived I ain't dead yet
    Ash to ash, dust to dust ain't been said yet
    Fucc what you read nigga can't nobody touch me
    You must be a playa hater trust me
    They gon be yellin fucc me
    Long as the world is spinnin
    But I can't let it bother me
    Quickly the most wanted
    That's just how it got to be
    Busta's be woofin but really don't what no funk
    Self incriminatin
    I'm eliminatin niggas is hatin niggas
    Liquidatin niggas like car lots
    I'm loccin up on them bustas
    like the fool in that movie warlocc
    Motha fuccas don't bow down now
    The king of Sac Rap Raided is bacc in town now
    [chorus]
    Long as the world is spinnin
    Whether I'm dead or livin
    It's Sac Town X-Raided eternally unforgivin
    All the times I committed sins
    Misery never ends
    Havin visions on the flames my soul gonna be burnin in
    Turnin in my grave cuz I can't find piece
    Everybody yellin X-Raided rest in grief
    Long as the world is spinnin
    Whether I'm dead or livin
    It's Sac Town X-Raided eternally (eternally)
    Long as the world is spinnin
    Whether I'm dead or livin
    It's Sac Town X-Raided eternally unforgivin
    Call me murderer
    Don't nobody know if it's true
    Wanna see me dead
    So call friends and enemies too
    What can I do
    Persecuted and hated tremendously
    Prosecuted they tryin to give me a quater of a century
    Nigga they mention me in the news
    Always negative
    What y'all know about me
    to be steadily speakin of what I did
    Y'all be speculatin
    One day my bitch was in tears
    She heard I got stabbed in the shower
    And threw off the third year
    But you ain't pumpin no fear
    With those discietful conversations
    Sayin you comin for me but nigga I'm still waitin
    They datin you bustas like I'm some white out
    Think you can see me
    I can't be seen I'll cut your site out
    Knoccin the fight out you motha fuccas
    like I'm Tyson in his hey day
    You hollerin may day
    But ain't no help for you it's pay day
    Say what you wanna
    But run up and be a gonna
    By the most wanted motha fucca in Northern California
    Long as the world is spinnin
    Whether I'm dead or livin
    It's Sac Town X-Raided eternally unforgivin (eternally unforgivin)
    You don't know me from Adam
    But yellin fucc X-Raided
    Got your fingers crossed
    Hopin I get assassinated
    But you procrastinated
    You had a chance to get me
    20 deep but ya'll niggas was still scared to hit me
    Get me hotter than lava when I hear bitch niggas speakin
    Gotta roll through Sac Town strapped down
    to leave them bitch niggas leakin
    Got you tweekin like Plusticy
    Seekin bustas like missles
    Ain't got no time for no hoes
    Bitches is way to ficcle
    Flippin she whippin to have your car hot like pretzels
    Tellin your bitches fucc you hoes let's keep it sexual
    I ain't got no time for you bacc stabbin two faceted vultures
    Next time I see you I'm colt you consult you to smoke
    [Talkin]
