[Verse 1: Killah Priest]
Five brothers they were layin’ in the lobby
And one had a shotty
Greed made ‘em thirsty for money
So he plot, with his gat cocked
I need a knot, shit is gettin’ hot
The others said, “What could we do?
It’s on you”
He stared ‘em down as he passed ‘em the brew
“Hmm, maybe you see my view
Follow me upstairs on the eighth floor
And I will show you the door”
“The eighth floor, how is that?”
“That’s where my cousin is slingin’ crack
Be grand whatcha y’all niggas is puss?
Y’all seem shook, to have niggas ambushed”
One other kid said, “You sound like a savage
Couple of years ago you spoke mathematics
I peeped your ways now you carry automatics
And try to give niggas traffic”
Peace

*Another conversation breaks out*

[Verse 2: Killah Priest]
He stepped on the elevator
“I see y’all crab niggas later”
“Call your cousin, and warm him of the setup
Before the brother gets wet up”
*Gunshot*
He ran to the pay phone
Hopin’ that nobody stayed home
He tried to dial, the niggas started bustin’
On the corner while them other niggas hustlin’
He jetted back to his projects
*Automatic gunfire*
He heard the sound of a tec
*Automatic gunfire*
He heard the sound of a tec
(Oh, shit!)
He heard the sound of a tec
*Single blast*
He heard the sound of a tec
*Automatic gunfire*
He heard the sound of a tec
*Automatic gunfire*
He heard the sound of a tec
He heard the sound of a tec
*Gun blast*

[Outro: sample]
In the beginning, we lived as we could. Friendless wanderers that we were, we cheated and stole in order to live. We knew heat hunger and cold and slept under the stars. Then, as time softened my sorrow, I began to put to use the skills I had learned in the school of life and in my father’s house…
