Now I'm trapped and want to a getaway All I need is a 'G' and safe to stay Can't use the 'Cause I'm sure is tappin' in Did it Ain't to use my gat again I look at hindsight the fight was irrelevant But now he's the devils Too to be tellin' him He first and I'll be damned if I run away Homie is done I should of put my gun away I wasn't thinkin' all I was the ridicule Girlies was laughin', Tup sayin' "Damn is dissin' you" I fired my Started steppin' in the I got shot so I Feelin' a burst of Got to my Couldn't see nothin' but bloody Now I'm a fugitive to be hunted like a Ran an alley Still lookin' for my Coppers said Freeze, or you'll be dead Trapped in a and I couldn't see the light Thoughts in my mind was the nine and a better do I do?
