Originoo Gun Clappas - NO FEAR

Chorus:
He's steppin in hotter this year

Starang:
Starang commin like a hurricane with no fear
cause in the streets we ain't got no peace
shoot the beast from the east but you run from police
don't try me, cause i be the bomb like Bazi
Starang from OGC i heat shit up like hawaii,
five when i'm live like a four wheel drive
everyday i strive to make you rappers realize
how dangerous strangle gets on the micro....
phone, when louieville zones it gets me hyper
the type ta, snipe yo ass from up close
this is the boot camp show, i'm your host
Starang Wondah, no relation to stevie
and no i'm not west indian or hatian,
but i'm no probation
for knockin wack MC's out daily
plus i fly heads like comets from alex haley
now tell me, on this fuckin verse right here,
turn a wack rappers day into his worst nightmare
i scare, petty Mc's who claim they got gats
frontin wit hoes in videos with pimp hats
but the fact,
still remains that your just a stain on the bottom of my boots
while i'm still starang
BCC, from ninety-now past two thou
make ya'll heads in the crowd wonder how we be still...

Chorus:
Steppin in hotter this year

Louieville:
louieville, no fear will shed no tears
dare you, to come near,bare be that ass,
i pull bats, cock back, release then smash
niggas is, um, stuck on stupid
Od'ed off cupid
bitches and switches is strictly how they have to do it
like montell
Jordan, i'm givin a warnin'
you keep that shit up and niggas will be cavin your walls in
but as they close in, chumps get chosen
stance gets frozen, cause this here ???? is potent
so hold it, watch how you take those totes
cause you next will be your last, and thats all she wrote
killed the small tug no delayin
on sidelines i'm wastin'
procrastinatin is sin, so there'll be no delayin

Chorus:
Now he's stepin in hotter this year


Top Dawg:
D-O big kahuna commin in with no fear
oh yeah, y'all niggas over there y'all be frontin
claimin ya own a gun but when you see us you run
now this is one thing top dawg can't understand
(What?) why men get mangled
(uh-huh)why men get mad,
so i ask, my bredren till he told me
he caught these brothers flappin, had to smack em wit the chrome piece
now its only uno and dos, he and him
he's blowin up spots no matter if he's enemy or friend
so put and end
to all the bullshit, i pull shit quick
and you a gun fool i can't forget
how you get down, cause i get down with four pounds that make sounds
from underground now you don't wanna come around
here, thats dissapointment for life
i'm makin sure i'm the one thats takin all your stripes
Now back way, while i get my yipes on
peace to my nigga O-strong home with the Koran
