It was two in the morning, June '94
Some masked men came and left some slugs in my front door
Too close to home, it's time to call it quits
Wife threatens to leave, my daughter throwing fits
What's the plan?
The situations out of hand so I pick up the cordless and proceed to call my man:
"What up, black? Some n***as pulled up in an Ac and tried to bring the ruckus like a premeditated attack"
Yo, f** that, I ain't going out like that
Disrespect my home, I'll put some n***as on they back
(Canibus: True that, kid. give it a minute, yo, just wait)
To top it all off, they had out-of-state
Plates
Yo, who's these outsiders trying to make some noise?
They better finish what they started because my squadron destroys
I'm pissed, these n***as is number on my hit-list and I won't be satisfied until I see their d**h certificates
Retaliation with a bit of hesitation
Ima let these n***as sleep and then proceed with the a**a**ination
[Canibus: Hook (x2)]
I don't know why n***as is trying to bring it to me
But if they want my life, they'll have to come take it from me
Ties between my family, nothing I know is stronger
I'm in too deep and I can't hold my breath any longer

We gave it a week then decided to make our move
We wanted them n***as to think that everything was cool
That they got away with something
Assuming they got over
Loaded the trunk with explosives and pulled off in a range rover
All on they block, like 5-0 raiding a drug-spot
Set the timer, to turn they spot into a vacant lot
Looked in my rear-view, saw flames and heard screams
Was aware of the fact that I k**ed some innocent human beings
But I guess it was they time, 'cause we all got to go
I took care of my business, kid, that's all that I know
At least that's what I thought until I got home
I walked through the door and saw a note by the phone
It said: "honey, I'm at the hospital, let me explain; Tanya went to visit a friend and the building went up in flames. Call me as soon you can, they don't think he's going to make it. He's on life support, I need you here; I can't take it"
I thought to myself "nah nah; couldn't be. not my own flesh and blood" I refused to believe
But when I got to the hospital, they said it was too late
They said she didn't make it, my wife was irate
Screamin' like she was possesse by like a demon
Yelling "f** the world, and life; what's the meanin'?!"
I asked her where it happened, she said down the block
Down the street, around the corner from that drug spot
"you mean the building off of fifty-third and fifth?"
She said "yeah, how did you know?"
"an unfortunate lucky guess"
I ran into the bathroom and almost threw up because that was the spot me and my man blew up
Oh sh** . . . what the f** am I gonna do?
