Black Thought:

I woke up in the darkness at 12:17...to shots and sirenes

Look out the window, peep the high beams

Now they searchin, the cops lookin for the person...

That pulled the trigga

Medical figures is nursin the kid that got shot

Some innocent ak that would front

To flip the rock on them at King Street block

I tried to tell him to stop cuz yo, it's ghetto red hot

Similar to the blood now floodin his top

I take a step out the spot, to the point of attack

And see the shorty wop heart blast out his back

Damn, I'm thinkin it don't cease, it's no more peace

Police level increase, but what the fuck...

It's still crime on the streets

I can't breathe, now what's goin on?

One minute you alive, the next, you're gone

Illadel-P-H-I-A Hell

Bust off into the heavens for the nigga who fell

And hit the L, for the niggaz who fell

When that could have been prevented

In front of the flat your moms rented

And no one expect that from you, cuz you was timid

Fuckin with them cats from outside city limits

Funny how this whole thing changed, an off minute

Yo, dig it, Panic!!!!!

None of this is ever granted

Drownin in a nightmare, stranded
