knockin at the door

Singer:lupe fiasco

they wanna start again

no arguing

guns in the car for them

hit 'em while they feet on they ottomans

off guard

uh huh

blow 'em out they cardigans

they case hardening

they at the table bargaining

no time for stuck safeties or shaky targeting

hit the face

hit the safe and the carpet and

get the weight

get the cake

get the tape that we starred in

escape

hit the interstate partying

they guardians is soft frames as jellyfish

give 'em shirts they can strain spaghetti with

extra button holes for touching those

they rarely kick

my readiness only matched by my pettiness

get the change

where the couch at

pick pocket fleas

please get the cheese off they mousetraps

remember

they holdin' just like us

burners under the furniture

4-4's in floorboards

murderers

burglars

they game just as hood

and they aim just as good

a little better

little berettas with suppressors

and all the etceteras for whatever

we can pole climb

cut phone lines

the whole nine

but we gotta stay together

that's the key to this

even if it's no longer secretive

they gonna start panicking when they see that you backstage without the laminent

don't ease up

niggas tend to freeze up

become mannequins

what about you

don't worry bout me

i'm averaging fifty shots a game when it's crackling

turn the lights off on they ambulance

just

give me room to operate

they be in operating rooms with wounds to contemplate

don't speak

no room to commentate

make sure ya sneakers tied

no shoes to confiscate

get aways

take cables out they sables

slash the tires on they chryslers

no survivors

niggas can't make it with macgyver

either you get them or they get you

no amount of karate class can keep you outta body bags

so save ya boxing and ninjitsu

don't be cheap

bullets is ten cents apiece

give 'em each a saw buck the instant they reach

moving on

make sure you know who's who

who's you

who's not

and who to shoot upon

friendly fire and hitting innocent standbyers'll

get your enemy wired and it's bad enough

so don't go gassing em up

leave that for the shells

the 12's from the pumps

if done correct

the condo's on me

gotta go

rock-n-roll

lock and load on three
