Place Your Bet Lyrics

[Scratched Hook]
Get your area wet
Big money talkers place your bet

[Verse 1: Med]
You better behold
Revenge of the cold menace from old
With a five six bone structure with poems
Puncturing lungs, leaving holes
Medaphoar known for cock back and rock it
Just from the same pockets
Brothers left with they backs having air pockets
Mob of restless with a breathless presence without effort
Leave you stressed from the essence, smoke you down to the resin
Almost had a job but then I flunked the drug test
But I kind of knew, cause the blunt I blew before my interview
The truth, it goes down like no chute to a paratroop
My style you could never loop, gotta clear it through my thirty deuce
That shoots in threes but you say don't do it because you
Playing out like in-house pussy caught up in yours truly
Capital M dot from the Ox with a new bag
An attitude, clearly stating eff you on the one hand
Middle finger up, up in the B-Boy stance
Advancing to the next level to get Grants
Y'all better get back, click clack brother with that
Split cats fast with no kickback
And breathe that track til I rest where you test
[Scratched Hook]

[Verse 2: Med]
Feel the brainstorm or hail pours
Rhythm cracking your acorns
Wanted to the death, this is all I got left
Med cassette I made in your tape deck
Nigga that you play but gotta respect
(False move) Check that ass like chess
We bless street corners
Trying to keep the homies out the coroner
Worn as guns, government flood us, raising warriors
My windpipe control
Yes while artists walking off their nights to fold
Nice when I hold, that's showing Charles Barkley for one shake roll
Niggas too cold, they likely won't let it be known to get grown
Sleeping on your mama's floor
Henny poured over the rocks, chronic in rotation, Ox
Long awaited celebrated patience
We fin to rape and take it all
Fought for a purpose, not fame and glitz
But when I get it, put your head between your legs and suck your own dick
Period, serious like cancer, ramshackle for ransom
No answers to questions, leave 'em with their hands up

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
