Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Five minutes to flush
[Verse 2]
The said they just want to question me, the interruption
Four in the morning, they knocked and caught me fuckin'
Throw on somethin' mad provocative, play with the top lock
Buy me some time so I can hide the shit kinda quick
Move the guns, clip the herb
They got me shook up, plus my nut was disturbed
Hide the chocolate, pickin' up shells from the carpet
Barricading the door for war like a hostage
It's my crib, got my name on the lease
Can't explain, **** just get arraigned and released
But who snitched, set me up, I think it's you, bitch
Sacrificin' my life for your two kids
Truth is, I got a business to lose
Eyewitness newspaper tellin' bitches to move
Police turned the strip to a zoo, mad reporters
I laugh as I sit for my 'view, they think they caught us
[Verse 3]
Four in the mornin', Feds are out at the door
What ya gonna do? What ya gonna do
When they come through for you?
Ooh-ee, ooh-ee, ooh-ee
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Four minutes left, four minutes
[Verse 4]
About a minute went by, they knocked harder
My bitch went hysterical in shock, slapped her to calm her
Four-four cocked to armor, it's been a long day
Now I raid with jakes play in the hallway
It's senseless, enter my crib and can't prevent this
Lockin' my entrance, tryna knock it off the hinges
Batterin' rams comin' inches, my ho was buggin'
Throw a fit puttin' coke in the oven
Like I'm Larry Davis, the phone rang, some D.A. bitch
Nature, turn yourself in, I didn't say shit
Knowin' in my heart, I'ma stay rich
It's amusin', confusin' them till they lose patience
Try to ease up, calm my nerves with the chief-a
Hopin' the door doesn't fall before the keys flush
Thieves rush, plus the riot squad
No surrender, no retreat, shit's deep when times is hard
[Verse 5]
Four in the mornin', Feds are out at the door
What ya gonna do? What ya gonna do
When they come through for you?
Ooh-ee, ooh-ee, ooh-ee
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Three minutes left, three minutes
[Verse 6]
By the time they busted in, I had touched the cash
Just flushed the last hunnid grams, ****, deduct the math
They made me either that or let 'em take me
Still in my nightclothes, fake like I'm 'sleep
Spoke to my rat, heard him ask where the coke at
Predicate felon, hope to never go back
They had surveillance aware of all dealings
Knew about bitches that like to shoot and loot kept in the ceilings
Searchin' my spot behind curtain, stay cursin'
Chief of police, finally meetin' in person
But I just flushed the yayo, what could he say though?
Tryna flip on me, once was on the payroll
Tryna lay low, he can't find what he need
So instead, I'm cuffed, taken down for some weed
But it's just for a short stay, I call The Firm then emerge
On the streets to return the next court day
[Verse 7]
Four in the mornin', Feds are out at the door
What ya gonna do? What ya gonna do
When they come through for you?
Ooh-ee, ooh-ee, ooh-ee
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Two minutes left
[Verse 8]
Four in the mornin', Feds are out at the door
What ya gonna do? What ya gonna do
When they come through for you?
Ooh-ee, ooh-ee, ooh-ee
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
One minute left
[Verse 9]
Yeah, hmm, hmm, you better watch yourself
Ah, know you better watch yourself
Things are getting tight brother
Yes, they are, they're getting rough, they're getting tough
They're getting rough out here, you can't trust nobody
No, not even your woman, not even your friends
I don't believe you can trust your enemies, no, no, no
You better watch out, you better watch out
You better not watch how they buggin' me
Yeah
The Feds are watchin'
The Feds are watchin' you
The Feds
Talkin' 'bout the Feds now, man
The Feds
The Feds
The Feds
