It was once said by Black Thought that +Things Fall Apart+
|
Knew I shouldn't have been messin with dude's girl from start
|
But I pimp from the heart, the art of it made it interestin
|
Plus me and sister blend before we got intimate
|
Friend or no friend, my man caught wind
|
This chick is payin me, it'll either cost me or cost him
|
Told her she shoulda lost him (when?) a while ago
|
Cause dude'll drink a pile of Mo' and defile her yo
|
I ain't here to start on this [nigga] for me to wreck his broad
|
you could tell what I thought of this [nigga]
|
Nickname was Smoke, don't know if that was cause of cigarettes
|
(or what?) or guns he tote, he called shots on the deck
|
so I wasn't tryin to call his bluff, by his persona
|
you could see, he think he tough!
|
If that wasn't enough, old girl had his son
|
This is Wild like the West I'm like Jesse on the run, uhh

I understand that time is runnin out, I'm thinkin of town-skippin
|
Got a Chevy but the alternator be trippin
|
I'm hittin rum straight, thinkin of a route to truncate
|
The streets is watchin, out is one way I put myself in his Nike's
|
His position is, "Aight man, somebody bonin my lady"
|
Probably snap like Rod-man
|
My plan was to meet at this bar called the Tiki (when?)
|
'round four, when she was comin she would beep me
|
I sat deep in the corner, drinkin zombies, becomin one by now
|
Wonderin if my style would support her and her child
|
Out the corner of my eye saw this stud I recognized (who?)
|
One of Smoke's guys, to stay out of sight I tried
|
Told Jill Scott to meet we coulda picked a better spot
|
On some "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" [shit] like Deborah Cox
|
Looked at my watch, [shit] I don't even got a watch
|
Felt for my glock, damnit I don't even got a glock, yo

Pressure puh-pressure what? The pressure's cookin
|
It ain't good lookin, like a black promoter I'm talkin bookin
|
Not that I'm spooked of dude, I could whup him
|
But he was on the horn informin the rest of them hoodlums (aight)
|
Usually I wouldn't fight over a woman, old girl had a sun-shine
|
was messed up, on Smoke's payroll was one-time
|
My pager went off, it read one line: "Come get me
|
from Halsted," I'm thinkin this is monkey bar [shit]
|
Went to the phone quick, called her (what happened?) Her line was busy
|
Situation number nine, got my mind dizzy
|
Wondered if this plan was designed to get me
|
I've been drinkin too strong to be thinkin too long
|
Like 40 goin North I'm doin 50, headed for the spot
|
Askin God to be with me, and lately
|
she has been actin shifty -- (but what?)
|
But then it hit me (hit me) it hit me (hit me)

It hit me (hit me) it hit me
