6 A.M. Lyrics

[Intro]
I asked him if he wanted me to hustle up his bail, but he said "No."
He just didn't give a damn anymore

[Hook]
Six in the morning, police at my door
Six in the morning, police at my door
Six in the morning, police at my door
Six in the morning, police at my door


[Verse 1: Papoose]
They would say “bling-bling,” if my jewels could talk
So you can still see me shining when the room gets dark
I’m like Tony Danza, I’ll show you who’s the boss
Teach my worker who’s the fiends and who’s the narcs
It’s a lot of niggas out trying to prove they hard
‘Til you hit they cousin up, and make them move they aunt
Yo, I would wild out and let the Rug’ just spark
But you know how the hood be when someone screwed your start
All the basketball tournaments was cool to watch
Bet your money: lose a little, or lose a lot
They beat us by one point – yeah, them dudes was sharp
But I’m a sore loser, so I had to shoot up the park
I wouldn’t of robbed your man if the fool was smart
But a fool and his money will soon depart
Then I went to my crib, went to sleep 'bout four
When I woke up, police was at my door, damn…
[Hook]

[Verse 2: Jadakiss]
Just aired the dice game out, that’s the truth, babe
‘Bout to hit the crib, take a shower, watch a bootleg
Glad nothing popped off, got to get the bag out of the crib
Goose dropped off, so it can get knocked off
Then I got a sharp pain in my chest
About knowing I ain’t supposed to have it in the place I rest
Yes, but it’s a half a joint in there
Two .40 cals with the hollow points in there
Few bricks of diesel, couple pounds of purple
Gallon of the water, plus a thousand circles

A man hit me, saying that he’d be here in a minute
All I’ve got to do is wrap it, and bring it down to the rented
By now, it’s a little past five
And I’m still trying to roll, could barely open my eyes
Next thing I know, she giving me a massage
Instead of waking up rich, I woke up to a surprise

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Jim Jones]
It goes, “Six in the morning, police at my door”
At five in the morning, I was up in this broad
At four in the morning, we was out the club door
A few hours before that, I was getting fresh in the store
Now a week before that, I was at the car lot
Thinking convertible so I can make the broad drop
A half a mill in cash off a three-month run
Them rubber bands stacks in ten-G lump sums
Police is on our back ‘cause we dump guns
So when Bird Gang’s outside, motherfucker, just run
We just dumb, like the hyphy life
I told you life was a bitch, not the wifey type
Help you get the right bricks, if the price is right
Catch you standing on the strip in the icy whites
Season of heirs, we in the V switching gears
Dropping the top, blowing weed in the air
She’s showing her ass, and
Next think I know, I’ve got a detective all in my face
Asking me all kinds of questions
I don’t know shit but get my lawyer
[Hook]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Samples Ice-T’s classic “6'n the mornin'”.

“’6 a.m.’ basically describes the feeling a person would get when the police is knocking on your door at 6 a.m. We just painted the picture of that particular moment. Not to say that everybody had that experience. Sometimes you don’t gotta be a criminal to have police knocking at your door.

“I think that record is gonna describe that feeling of that moment when the cops knock on your door waking you up. All three of us actually tell a story. That’s why I like that record. Everybody stuck to the topic. We all tell what took place before the police started knocking. The verse actually leads up to that moment. When you listen to my verse, you hear me tell my story, ya know? What transpired in my day—went to sleep, woke up, police was at my door. Jada does the same, Jimmy does the same. ‘I lived this for real!’ You know how Jimmy is. Everybody stuck to the topic. Hard, official record, man. It’s dope.

“It definitely comes from my own experiences, man. Everything on this album is my own experiences and experiences of my friends and family, things that I witnessed. I wouldn’t be able to speak about it and be so intricate if I didn’t. Definitely, everything on the album is self experiences and experiences of my loved ones.”
