Elaboration for why we don’t snitch

“Officer, I saw the whole thing”

Doesn’t that title have a ring

‘Cause in D.C., if you snitch,

You’re considered a rat, not a king

Snitches get found in ditches,

For exposing someone’s business

See no evil and hear no evil

Now it’s open and shut repeat what

I don’t know what you’re talking about

If you saw something, and you want To live,

Don’t give information to the cops,

Or someone might put a hit in your head

Trust no one but God, not even your mama

cease-fire, don’t smoke the brothers

Just like my company D.C. dream team

A violence protection program, the youth is our dreams

MBYLI was a program I was in

To become an entrepreneur and only work for him

See when his son died, I must admit

“Officer, I saw the whole thing,” right

Now I would be dead and killed,

Vengeance ain’t mine, I saw nothing, I lied

God is the hitter and that why he spared me my life

“Officer, I saw the whole thing,”

No you didn’t,

You try snitching,

Your name on paperwork

Stand on it; in D.C., you ain’t safe,

Never go to protective custody

If you love your life, just pretend you saw nothing.
