Just To Get A Rep Lyrics - Gangstarr

Stick up kids is out to tax (x2) 

And this is how the story goes 

Brothers are amused by others brother's reps 

But the thing they know best is where the gun is kept 

'Cause in the night, you'll feel fright 

And at the sight of a 4-5th, I guess you just might 

Wanna do a dance or two 

'Cause they could maybe bust you for self or wit a crew 

No matter is you or your brother's a star 

He could pop you in and jet without a getaway car 

And some might say that he's a dummy 

But he's sticking you and taking all of your money 

It's a daily operation 

He might be loose in the park or lurking at the train station 

Mad brothers know his name 

So he thinks he got a little fame 

From the stick-up game 

And while we're blaming society 

He's at a party with his man 

They got their eye on the gold chain 

That the next man's wearing 

It looks big but they ain't staring 

Just thinking of a way and when to get the brother 

They'll be long gone before the kid recovers 

And back around the way, he'll have the chain on his neck 

Claimin' respect, Just to get a rep

Ten brothers in a circle 

Had the kid trapped, the one wit the hood, he said, "We'll hurt you" 

If you don't run out your dues and pay 

Give up the Rolex watch or you won't see another day 

See, they were on the attack 

And one said, "Yo, you wanna make this to a homicide rap? 

Make it fast so we can be on our way 

Kick in the rings and everything, ok?" 

The kid was nervous and flinching 

And little shorty with the 3-8, yo, he was inchin 

Closer and closer, put the gun to his head 

Shorty was down to catch a body instead 

Money was scared so he panicked 

Took off his link and his rings and ran frantic 

But shorty said, "Now" pulled the trigger and stepped 

It was nothing, he did it just to get a rep 

The rep goes bigger and now hes known for his trigger finger 

Rolling with troops of the sons like a gangster figure 

Hes near the peak of his crazy career 

His posse's a nightmare macking jewls and some crazy gear 

but as we know these things do come back 

and shortys now peeping others that are scheming the kind of act 

Cuz the kid that got shot didnt perish so 

He pulls up in a jeep with tinted window 

Too late shorty was caught in the mix 

His time ran out his number came up and thats it 

Ya know the rest so dont front the plan has been upset 

Some brothers gotta go out, just to get a rep
