Lil’ Kim celebrates Halloween by delivering the first single off her upcoming mixtape Hard Core 2K13. The Queen Bee takes it to the streets on the gritty, dancehall-flavored record.

“We live by the gun, die by the gun/ So please don’t you trouble we/ I let a lot of the bullshit slide/ Cross the queen and you get buried alive,” she raps in a Jamaican patois.

She explained the message behind the song.

“It’s a very strong, serious record, but at the same time, feel-good,” Kim told MTV News. “There’s a lot of things that can turn you into a dead girl or a dead man walking and nobody wants to be that. So, I guess my message is ‘Don’t become a dead girl or dead man walking. Live your life right.’”

Hard Core 2K13 drops on Nov. 29 aka Black Friday.
