where the fiends roll up for rocks 'n

this perfect getaway

from the pigs when i peel and i hit the fences

rippin' up the trench and

i'm bailing while they trailing

better in hell than in the cell

and it ain't no telling where the coppers be dwelling

one had spotted me

pick up ah piece and shot a me

but i practice what i preach

and see that these slugs up in his body got him

run

wid smoke coming from the barrel ah me gun

hit the bend

oh what the dum dum i got yum yummed on the dead end

they set in

then they lead in

they wanting me off in the coffin

cops from everywhere was yellin and wailin' i went unconcious

from the stompin' taking ah loss

and waking up in the coffin

and without no stallin'

cell i was tossed in to be arreigned at dawning

looking in the eyes of a judge

he knew right where to put that thug

made to be so

wid no parole

in the hole but i won't budge

sent me to deathrow

watchin' the time by fly past

but rip'll be sittin' mindless never spineless

in silence

hoping i die fast

but chill

never do

sleepa

gotta get put that on all me reefer

somehow must beat ya

so peep out the creep or the reaper will meet ya

bailin' on ah mission

flippin' the script

betta check what the wind just blew in

betta think again

on ah mission for revenge

wid that mack-10

little nigga rip

gotta pump them slugs up in them cops

steady made 'em drop glock went pop pop

goin' out like a thug on the double glock

back from hell and ready to bail

time to hit they trail cause they wanted my nigga fried

holdin' the bible when i got a grenade i'ma go inside the squad

gettin' ready for the rumble

when i heard them mumbles

pullin' me guage in laughter

keep buckin 'em faster all i was thinkin'

when i see them bustas scatter

betta watch out for them buckshots

cause them can't fade me guage

gotta bust them souls in the grave

so i'm buckin' them straight to the pave

and i pulled ah grenade

tossed to the door

so krayzie feelin' safety coming

hittin' the fence and jump in it quick

from krayzie's tech-9 bullets humming. ]
