I thought he was the wonder, and I was stunned by his lips, |
| [01:52.181] |
Taking sips sipping Amaretto sour with a twist, |
| [01:54.932] |
Shook my hips to the bass line, this joker grabbed my waistline, |
| [01:57.396] |
Putting pressure on my spine trying to get L-Boog to wind, |
| [02:00.348] |

I had to put him in his place, |
| [02:04.192] |
This kids invading my space, |

| [02:09.941] |
Then it hit me that's Tariq from off the street around Grams. |
| [02:13.531] |

| [02:16.756] |

| [02:19.340] |

He's busted, "so who you checking for now?" |

| [02:35.444] |

| [03:07.708] |
I stepped out the note to post up my guard |
| [03:10.756] |
Searching for my car that was stolen from Scotland Yard. |
| [03:13.396] |
My first instinct was to check the chop shop garage. |
| [03:16.378] |
As I rung the bell someone tapped me on my back, |
| [03:18.709] |
I turned around to look it was a rookie in a mask. |
| [03:21.653] |
He said, "I got a itchin' on my trigger, |
| [03:24.458] |
Don't move nigga I'm taking you for murder." |
| [03:27.284] |
See cops got two faces like two laces on my Reeboks. |
| [03:29.138] |
My knees knock as I step back for a claear shot, |
| [03:32.145] |
Well did you shoot him? Naw kid I didn't have the balls, |
