English term or phrase: keep my shit cocked
Hola colegas,

Se trata de una canción de hip hop de Tupac en la que menciona la pistola Glock.

[...]
[you speak a' Heaven punk, I never heard of tha place
what is it ta come up fast, got a Uz and a black mask
drop tha fuckin task, now who's tha jack ass]
***keep my shit cocked***, cause tha cops got a glock too
what tha fuck would you do
drop them or let 'em drop you
I chose droppin' tha cop
I got me a glock, and a glock for tha niggas on my block

Gracias.

Un saludo,

María José Asís
