Intro:
Yeah
You know sometimes you gotta talk it out before it all goes down
But when words don't work...
Y'all know what's next
Chorus:
I tried to talk to 'em, but now it's real
Eye for an eye, let's see how you feel
No going back, gotta stay still
When words won't work, we talk to kill
We talk to kill, yeah, we talk to kill
No more talking, no, we talk to kill
Verse 1:
Hood raised, we don't play those games
Seen too many lost, nothing's the same
Tried to parley, but talk is cheap
Now it's action, they ain't gon' see me weep
Calls ignored, now they dread the beep
When you live like this, secrets we keep
Gangs to riding, it's survival we seek
Every move critical, no room for weak
Pre-Chorus:
Loyalty over everything, that's our law
Cross the line, then we in it for the war
Nowhere to run, this is where we draw
The line in blood, settle every score
Chorus:
I tried to talk to 'em, but now it's real
Eye for an eye, let's see how you feel
No going back, gotta stay still
When words won't work, we talk to kill
We talk to kill, yeah, we talk to kill
No more talking, no, we talk to kill
Verse 2:
Too deep in, ain't no turning 'round
Trust betrayed, now they going down
Made a choice, now they feel the wrath
Nothing left but a lonesome path
On my block, we don't fear no man
Stand my ground, yeah, that's the plan
Messages sent with no words at hand
When the talk ends, the violence expands
Bridge:
Said what I said, now it's all on me
Time to face facts, now it's destiny
Blood in the streets, no disbelief
When talk breaks down, it's pure grief
Chorus:
I tried to talk to 'em, but now it's real
Eye for an eye, let's see how you feel
No going back, gotta stay still
When words won't work, we talk to kill
We talk to kill, yeah, we talk to kill
No more talking, no, we talk to kill
Outro:
It's a cruel world, loyalty's a must
Words ain't enough, sometimes it's dust to dust
Made up my mind, can't trust in the end
When talk is gone, action does defend
We talk to kill, it's the streets' demand
A harsh reality, by our own hands
