125 Pennies for Your Thoughts

歌詞

Mmm.. I'm steppin up Sutton, headed for this get together Weather was fierce, no sweat, I had on a rugged leather Got to the subway station on Archer And noticed that the train was about, to make a rapid departure Fuck that, ain't no Jakes up here in the station Pulled the turnstyle back slipped through with no hesitation The bitch in the booth yelled pay your fare, I said yeah I oughta Threw the finger up and said, owe ya a buck and a quarter Jettin for the train, before that shit got ghost And as I'm runnin down the steps, I spots two five-oh They was jettin too, guess them niggaz had seen me ha? Man fuck a cop, I wasn't even tryin to stop The conductor saw me boogeyin, and still closed the shit up And I spit in his face, before the train had time to get up Heard a Jake yell STOP! I said pssh, stop deez Caught my breath on the steps and got lost in the breeze Headed down towards the J, hopin to make a getaway And I see the same two cops on me yo, these niggaz ain't playin Bumped an old lady, think I knocked her old ass down Screamed SORRY MISS without tryin to turn around Catchin mad looks and stares, as I hustled up the stairs Please let the gate be open, and I'm up and outta here As I approach the gate the cop still on the chase God damn it's locked, aiyyo I can fit through that space But what about the leather the gear and the Timbs you sportin Won't they get dirty? Fuck that, my ass is more important As I went under I heard STOP OR I'LL FIRE But I kept goin and thought, pssh yeah right fuckin liar For a dollar twenty-five ain't no way they gonna blast me Til I heard a shot and felt the bullet fly right past me Yo! What kind of shit is these pigs gettin with? I was flippin script, but gotta admit I was shittin bricks Hit the pavement as a bullet struck the wall beside me My mind was in disarray, so I let my feet guide me Got my thoughts together and it became mad clear There was more than just me and fare bein involved here But I couldn't figure that shit out for nothin And didn't have time to stop and think, I just kept on struttin Out like VRRRM, like a cartoon character caper Jettin so fast Flash ass woulda caught the vapors Hit a corner and looked back, damn they still sweatin me I kept jettin G, ain't no fuckin way they was gettin me Ran across the ave without checkin what color the light was And got hit kinda hard by an old beat up white Dodge But not nearly hard enough to stop my mission Even though I didn't know my leg was in bad condition The pain wasn't alla that as I kept up my speedin But I was in need of a doctor for mass internal bleeding My side felt kinda sore, my left arm felt dead Put my hand into my jacket, it came out blood red Pushed a kid he broke like WATCH WHERE YOU GOIN MOTHERFUCKER Couldn't riff with that brother so I said, yo, your mother Heard a siren then another then spots a blue and white U-turned and ran round a corner til they was outta sight Ran through a vacant lot, heard a shot pop then, pop pop pop pop Oh shit, they got glocks? Fled past a bunch of girls, but couldn't stop to peep booties Was tired and fucked up, but I continued my duty Pretty soon I was exhausted tellin self you lost kid But if they was bustin at me I knew I get tossed an shit Wasn't tryin to go upstate or to Riker's So I took a breath and kept makin like my ass was on fire Felt like I had lost ALL the blood in my body I'd give anything to be laid up in the crib with a hottie Stomach was doin flip-flops, all twisted and knotty Next time I'm payin, this ain't my idea of a party Aww shit! A squad car is block my path Turn around and there's a bunch of cops right at my ass Went to take my hand out my jacket to give up Musta thought I was pullin out, no wait don't shoot I'm just.. The lady I had bumped fell, hit the third rail But I didn't do no time, I never made it to jail I often think I'd still be alive with my friends If only I had came up off a dollar, and twenty-five cents
