[Intro]
The most difficult thing about beeing a homicide detective
Is when you had a case and you know who did it
But you can't prove it
It's like puttin' a puzzle together
You have to have everything kinda fall in place
It's hard, it's draining, very draining
The hope is, someday, somebody is gonna get in trouble
And they're gonna need to talk
And thats when you get the prove
Thats when you can solve the case
[Hook]
Mr. 1st 48, 48 don't make that 48
Mr. 1st 48, 48 don't make that 48
Mr. 1st 48, 48 don't make that 48
Mr. 1st 48, 48 don't make that 48
b**h you can't escape
b**h you can't escape
b**h you can't escape
b**h you can't from Mr. 48
[1st Verse]
It's the silent Son of Sam
Burn like the (?) slaughter from saturn
Scarecrow from the land where vicious murders are a pattern
Your fate is pre-determined, quickly turn 'em into vermon
I hope yo mammy wise enough to take a life insurance
We don't discriminate, we just eliminate and consequate
(?) solved your case in the 1st 48, welcome to hell gates
Murder, d**h, k**, memphis n***as get ill
You want yo cap peeled? Bring your punka** down here
Choose your f**in' doom: guns, knives, blunt tools
They find your punka** leakin' in a f**in' blood pool
No mo' (?) sayonara from the (?) water
Lord should be your tour guide trough the horror
(?) pop my collar
[Bridge]
If you watch you know you never live to testify
Talk to those to take this thing your whole damn family dies
Bodies rottin' all around in my part of town
Hear no evil, see no evil, never speak a sound
[2nd Verse]
Ballin' down Bellevue and then I hit a left 'lone curb
Soon as I hit mississippi in the rearview we saw a blur
Man it look like the same n***as
That was trillin' me at first
Pay no attention cause I'm high
And rubbin' on this b**hes skirt
Slammed down to the curb
To get bout 8 Oz. of the purrp
Saw this b**h textin' on the phone
Payed this sh** no damn mind at first
Then three Chevies closed me in man
Then my f**ing vision blurred
Then we all begin to merge
I try to reach then heard the burst
Flashes flyin' in my face
I see AK's can it get worse?
Then I squeeze the Mac-11
Let the whole damn clip disperse
When I look down to the pavement
Saw two masked n***as get wasted
Look like Lord may be the next case
On the damn 1st 48 man
[Hook]
Mr. 1st 48, 48 don't make that 48
Mr. 1st 48, 48 don't make that 48
Mr. 1st 48, 48 don't make that 48
Mr. 1st 48, 48 don't make that 48
b**h you can't escape
b**h you can't escape
b**h you can't escape
b**h you can't from Mr. 48
