I remember this song, but for a not-so-good reason. I took the bus home from school in the 8th grade. had a Walkman, and I was listening to this while waiting for the bus on Georgia ave. G Street, across from that flea market that isn't there anymore. Anyways I'm whether there, vibing to the song, and a car pulls up, a man hops out with a "9", turns it sideways, and starts shooting at a guy that was walking on the sidewalk. Boom, boom, boom, boom, until he had nothing left. Then left the car in the middle of the road and ran away. I walked over to the guy and saw him laying on the ground, struggling to breathe. My only thoughts were that this looked nothing like it did in the movies. Small holes, with fluid running out. It was surreal. The feds came. I remember an Asian and black police officer asking the crowd did anyone see anything. I wanted to say yes, and tell them, but I noticed that people from the crowd that saw the incident with me, turned around and walked away. Right there I knew I shouldn't say anything but didn't know why at the time. Just felt like the right thing to do (even though it wasn't). I always thought that it was ironic that I was listening to an anti-crime, anti-gun violence song and witnessed a murder to it. We never had cable so I never knew there was even a video for this song. Positive music like this would be corny by todays standards. Fast forward to the present day, (2022). I work at Howard, (right down the street) and I noticed that every year we have Howard Homecoming. An event where black artist perform on stage in front of the supposedly academically-elite, and sing songs promoting, murder violence, drug dealing & general criminality. We all dance to it, and it's completely normal to us. The neighborhood surrounding Howard, has been pretty violent for years (although gentrification has brought some peace). Although D Chews made that snarky remark, it is unfortunately the reality. I've seen/heard of violent incidents on and around campus, but the major focus is when a non-melanated person walks a dog on campus. What a shame. That mayor in NY tried to ban drill-Music, but was hit with backlash. Its like were trying to make life worse for ourselves at this point. Music is a huge, influential part of our culture. I wish music like this would come back. The murder rate is higher than it was in some cities in the 90's, but we choose to promote our own demise it seems.

Her lyrics resonate with the lifestyle I lived in the 1990’s in Los Angeles. Literally half of my friends got killed from gun violence, none of them made it to see 18 years of age. As a ex gang member from Compton Varrio 117 ST, I am blessed to be alive. Running the streets of South Los Angeles in the 1990’s as a teenager was a death sentence. Those that know know

[@bench-clearingbrawl7737]

Yeah the Compton varrios were some of the most violent gangs in L.A. it was everyone against everyone. The homies used to jump or shoot at any gangster they see slipping. Me I was that ladies man type, all I cared about was girls and partying. But of course I had to put in the work when I had to, but I never shot no one, I always tried to avoid those situations. I was called a bitch for that but good thing I was the triple O.G.’s driver so I got away with a lot of things that was considered receiving “stripes”. But everyone else were 1,000% violent criminals.

Not only that, but what does bringing them in do? Just because someone brings in rat poison for you to drink, It's ultimately up to you to take it or not. The victim mentality and blaming others for a choice you made is getting out of hand. Stop putting blame on others when the change can be made by decisions and choices.

What's really messed up is the division that's been caused between all people of this nation we all live in. "The powers that be" have been using that card they play again and again. All to divide and conquer. And it's all up to us to stand together as Human Beings. Because we're not back in the dark ages unless we all wanna be. And being in THEIR dark ages keeps the blinders on us all. We limit ourself, we are our own worst enemy, yet as a whole... we are a force to be reckoned with. And THAT'S what THEY'RE afraid of. I pray we all come together and soon. Because things are getting too real. And if we stop playing their game, they'll be screwed. God didn't give us power to just sit on. He gave us power to use. And we were warned by Him about these PTB and principalities. They're our enemy! Not eachother. All made in His image. We can and WILL move mountains.

OMG!!! I haven't seen you/heard this in years!! This was back when rap tried to have a message! #Old enough to remember!!!

[@C4rea]

I have a core memory of singing the hook of this song with my fellow 1st grade classmates back in the mid 90s. Can’t believe I found this, at 5 o’clock in the morning no less!

[@iahgomoeshe7754]

One of the BEST songs EVER...!

I was all of 11 years old rapping the hell out of this song. Such great memories of a dope song!

This song will forever be a classic 💯💯💯

Puts Megan, Cardi, and City Girls to shame. A real artist who doesn't carry lace fronts or contour packs. Real Hip Hop.

[@EmEs1018]

I met her at IBEX way back in 96.. Super dope chick to talk to!

[@shaybar93]

As a 90s hip-hop lover who adores this song, I still have to ask this: “What does a woman’s aesthetics have to do with her talent?” If you just made only the first statement, okay cool. But what does lace fronts have to do with anything? And I really think Megan can rap. I hope she makes more songs like “Cobra” to show her range. If she keeps going in that direction, she’ll be okay.

I remember this song coming out when I was a young teenager. It would come on the radio at exactly that time and I would be up getting ready for the school bus. It was my absolute favorite as its message was clear. It inspired me to find my real family and when I did at the age of 18 I secretly thanked this song because it gave me the courage I needed to not give up. Thank you my Queen for singing this song. You are one of my angels.
