Boom, boom, boom, open the door, ATF Too late to send my girl downstairs to say he left Hit the basement, go through the replacement door Come up in my neighbor's yard, with a taste for war You know I laced the four, with the hollows Crack the safe, grab the bottles (What you want me to do?) Beep Carlos Two houses over by the tall black fence I keep the hooptie parked for situations like this There go Grease, "Yo, get in! You drive" "What the fuck you doing nigga?" "Tryin' to stay alive" Cops on every corner, I lean back and try to cruise by Who the fuck could'a snitched? Must have been a new guy Damn, they back on our ass Put your foot back on the gas, step on it fast Trying to pull up on the side, but I'm packing to blast Trying to take the niggas heads off, fuck cracking the glass Hey, look out, damn, came so close You almost hit that bitch (Like you said nigga, almost) Shit, the cops hit her, and I know they ain't gon' leave her Go up here, make this left, pull it over, take a breather "Drop it on the floor" Boom, got it through the door Pedal to the floor, leave officers flyin' Death is in the air, and I don't know if it's mine But I know if it's time, it'll be what it is And all I can think of is what about my kids Shit, they on the corner, hit the sidewalk, quick 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 more clips Hit the fire hydrant, get low for the shootout Run through the fire, pull a joint from my boot out Caught me in the shoulder, the neck, the ear I'm going out fast and the last thing I hear is Boom, boom, boom, open the door, ATF
