The Code - High Rollaz, King Lil G

Hello?

Yo, FahBoy man.

Yo, they just raided the jugg spot, man.

They aired that bitch

out, bro.

Like, real time, man, they huntin' for you right now, man.

The bounty hunter’s out

Just got a call

Said they bagged a homie

Told me be careful 'cause he heard they lookin' for me

I’m like, «Damn», hang up the phone

Pistol off the dresser, then I’m straight out the door

Now I’m in my zone (holla from my zone, my zone)

This is all I know so I’m stickin' to the code

Rollin' up smoke, I’m just tryin' to cope

This the life I chose so I’m stickin' to the code

Live and die by the code

(By the code, by the code)

Live my life by the code

(By the code, by the code)

Pledge allegiance to the code

(To the code, to the code)

This the life I chose, this is all I know

Live and die by the code

It was dangerous

Past eleven, Mac-11, hittin' ups

Adolescence, I was destined for the record I finessed

Semi-automatic weapons, drugs in my kitchen drawer

Learned about the code, learned a lesson from my generals

King, you got mad potential (yeah, yeah)

Speakin’s Spanish to my soldiers, ask for my credentials (vamanos)

I remain respectful

Movin' to a different temple

You the type to be upset and want address no issues

I got some brand new pistols

I let my guns speak

California kush is where my lunch reach

Never be afraid now where you from, G

Even my mama knows, sorry, but I can’t deny it

I kept my mouth closed when all my homies got indicted

Got excited, got a lawyer

Got to fight and beat the case

Twenty five to life, I was afraid I’d never see your face

(See your face, see your face)

But you see, I stayed loyal to the code

A soldier never talks

I mean, a soldier never folds

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Live and die by the code

(By the code, by the code)

Live my life by the code

(By the code, by the code)

Pledge allegiance to the code

(To the code, to the code)

This the life I chose, this is all I know

Live and die by the code

(By the code, by the code)

Live my life by the code

(By the code, by the code)

Pledge allegiance to the code

(To the code, to the code)

This the life I chose, this is all I know

Live and die by the code

with the cutthroats

Savages

Guns with their drum-bum

Automatics standing through that burn smoke

Made to this portrait of them streets and follow one code

And kings move in silence, play that role and watch it unfold

The life I chose, it wasn’t given either way

This life I’m livin' to them limits, seein' all of that dough

I’m put them diamonds on my chain, watchin' all of it glow

Just to remind all of them n*s I ain’t goin' back to broke

Now, me twista with that ro-leaf

Lift it when I’m mob deep

Still the real boss, makin' sure my all of my squad eat

Plowed it with that codeine, to Sprite by it

We still livin' by them codes with them OGs that’ll die by it

Live and die by the code

(By the code, by the code)

Live my life by the code

(By the code, by the code)

Pledge allegiance to the code

(To the code, to the code)

This the life I chose, this is all I know

Live and die by the code

(By the code, by the code)

Live my life by the code

(By the code, by the code)

Pledge allegiance to the code

(To the code, to the code)

This the life I chose, this is all I know

Live and die by the code

G code, gangster code’s what I live by

Heard they lookin' for me, if they find me I’mma let’em fly

Victim of society, my family’s priority

You can’t buy respect, treat loyalty like royalty

Nowadays crazy 'cause everybody’s snitchin'

Quick to get amens up, they scared to face the sentence

It’s death before the sign as I’m cockin' back the hammer

Wipin' fingerprints offa bullets with black bandanas

Rather die on my feet then live on my knees

Paid so many dues I got stacks of receipts

I smoke to clear my thoughts, codin' cups to kill fears

Last man standin' when heart of smoke clears

True story

Just got a call

Said they bagged a homie

Told me be careful 'cause he heard they lookin' for me

I’m like, «Damn», hang up the phone

Pistol off the dresser, then I’m straight out the door

Now I’m in my zone (holla from my zone, my zone)

This is all I know so I’m stickin' to the code

Rollin' up smoke, I’m just tryin' to cope

This the life I chose so I’m stickin' to the code

Live and die by the code
