Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It was a murder
Jake just hit the corner people swarming
Three in the morning I jumped out my cab like fuck
**** is buck mega bloodshed the tape's red
I heard some bird whisper yo he should have ducked
I puffed a lilla just before I hit the scene forilla
I'm all high and it's late I'm looking down at the fella
Shit's pushed in ambulance placed him on some cushion
His mom's had a stare I wouldn't dare second look when I murk
It hurt kind of took it as brief reminder
That's the street's designed to stop your life clock
The beast'll time ya cell to cell suspect ass **** you fail
First time locked in Comstock my mind blocks the frail
Bursting blasting at your forty cal shell split your dry cell
My **** never snitch why tell
We roll with no regrets destinies fifties and equities
Queens'll be the death of me
[Verse 2]
To the suspect witness don't come outside
You might get your shit pushed back tonight
(Suspect witness don't come outside)
(You might get your shit pushed back tonight)
Suspect witness don't come outside
You might get your shit pushed back tonight
(Suspect witness don't come outside)
(You might get your shit pushed back tonight)
[Verse 3]
Dear God I want the riches money hungry bitches infested
Giving the jealous **** sickness to witness
My crew dresses in vests feel the essence
Try to test this scientist able and reckless slaughter
Nautica down frames look petite
Ten millis minks designed just for my physique
I keep a low pro as if I owe bless the flow lovely
My pants hang while I'm dancing sipping the bubbly
Hey me no worry hashish keep my eyes Chinese
Roll the two Phillies together make blunt Siamese
I meant it I represent it descendant mad of
Early natives that were captured and taught to think backwards
Trapped us in a cracker's psychiatric it's massive
A Million Man March alert the masses
Tan Clarks Armani in small print upon my glasses
Don assassins Armageddon
The wedding of a freak and a beast
Seven heads got the righteous threatened
Life Was Written the plot curves behind the setting
Comprehend the grammar Math we on
Are you the type of **** to shoot a leg to get your name known
I flip the brain tone
**** get hit and wrapped in plastic
The mic I strike in vain giving the pain of what a MAC is
What you with? Luchi or drama
No sleep means insomnia
No need to check the clock the streets'll time ya
[Verse 4]
To the suspect witness don't come outside
You might get your shit pushed back tonight
(Suspect witness don't come outside)
(You might get your shit pushed back tonight)
[Verse 5]
Yeah it justifies Nas Escobar's leaving shit mesmerized
Mega live like the third world
Decipher my deceiver make him a believer
Spitting gem stars words in my mic type receiver
Bond is my life so I live by my word
Never fraudulent Queens-bridge don't make no herbs
Spread my name to deacons politicians while they speaking
Rebel to America civilization
Caught you sleeping
[Verse 6]
Street educated created
Fly gangsta firm style
AZ what up what up
Jenny Benny Blanco from the Bridge
Mega big Hi clap 'em down
L.E.S on a murder quest yeah
Yeah y'all
