O.C. - Let It Slide lyrics

It’s like many knuckleheads who wander
To the eye-to-eye contact
Not knowin' OC’s ready for combat
I try to ignore the sons
With a arrogant attitude
Mistakin' my face for gratitude, yeah
Just the other night, on the train, me
My cousin Boo
Was on the way up to Club Callaloo
I kinda had a vibe, so we took our 25's and
Uh
We had juice with the bouncers on the inside
Mad Jamaican-fakin' niggas frontin'
Knowin' they American
Me frontin'? The sauce would be embarrassin'
Some old poor-faced fella tried to stare me
In the eye and give a whammy
He almost caught a blammy
Just when I was about to reach for my Clyde
Cousin Boo whispered to me, "Yo, O
Let it slide" it ain’t worth smokin' a man
Ain’t worth the lead
So to break the tension
I broke him in the head

I let it slide
(I let it slide) , I let it slip on by
I let it slide
(I let it slide) , I let it slip on by
I let it slide
(I let it slide) , yeah, I let it slip on by
Givin' you one last try to
Kill it with the eyes

New day, same shit occurrin', this time
I was asked what I was looking at
Not knowin' he was grassed
He sparked the beef and I
Was gonna finish it off
It turns out this nigga was soft
He got ‘fraid from the way about my stance
Glancin' to my left and right
But nearby stood a man in sight
He’ll see the whole thing if I
Decide to do a buckwild move
So what alternatives shall I choose, huh?
Fire my steel and take the
Chance of me bein' bagged?
Or shipped up north for a long, long bad?
Nah, I ain’t for it, so I flashed the Clyde
He saw the nickel-plate
Almost havin' a date to die
I wondered why chumps wanna pick on I?
They be like settin' it off
And I be lettin' it slide
I don’t know what they be seein'
But one time in a conflict I flipped
Turned into an unstable human being

I let it slide
(I let it slide) , I let it slip on by
I let it slide
(I let it slide) , I let it slip on by
I let it slide
(I let it slide) , yeah, I let it slip on by
Givin' you one last try to
Kill it with the eyes

I let it slide
(I let it slide) , I let it slip on by
I let it slide
(I let it slide) , I let it slip on by
I let it slide
(I let it slide) , yeah, I let it slip on by
Givin' you one last try to
Kill it with the eyes

When I’m flowin' with my girl
I feel it the most
Beef comin' so close like a champagne toast
On the train, in the city, ‘round the way
‘round her way
I take it 'pon myself to say, "Niggas is gay"
What you tryin' to prove? Can’t move
A mountain with a stare
But when a brother pull a joint
You think it ain’t fair?
Two wrongs don’t make a right
But the philosophy of a fight, fella
Is to prolong your life
I roll like it was ten of me
Hard what you pretend to be
The motherfuckin' manner's the price
To kill Kennedy i’ll peep out the sons
Trying the flamboyant and
Put on a smirk ‘cause
Your staring is annoying, uh
No matter how much I try to avoid noise
I’ll fill ‘em in
But dead that starin' in my grill again
Don’t try to hypnotize with the
Eyes starin' rectifies beef
Tears brought to your family lives and
That loved one, because you
Couldn’t stop my Glock, so
Time ran out
‘cause you punched your own clock

I let it slide
(I let it slide) , I let it slip on by
I let it slide
(I let it slide) , I let it slip on by
I let it slide
(I let it slide) , yeah, I let it slip on by
Givin' you one last try to
Kill it with the eyes

I let it slide
(I let it slide) , I let it slip on by
I let it slide
(I let it slide) , I let it slip on by
I let it slide
(I let it slide) , yeah, I let it slip on by
Givin' you one last try to
Kill it with the eyes

Yo, what’s up with that? What’s up, man?
What you looking at my face for?
Man, you was looking at me, though
Alright, check this shit out
