Estelle - Pop a cap in yo' a** - radio edit lyrics

In the old shop liftin' days Mikey used to do expensive linen and towels There'd be three of them One for the sting One standing at the blind spot They would agree on a location upfront The third would be checkin' for cameras In case they missed one on the stake-out The next day Mikey would take the goods back He'd pretend he thrown the receipt away in the bag Saying they'd been a present for his mum But she didn't like the color Hittin' up with a credit note And then choose a CD player or a watch Somethin' nice from under the gla** cabinet Somethin' he could get rid of, easily later Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah He always carried cash y'see That way if he'd get caught They can only arrest you for theft If you suspect someone's onto you, use the lift, press all the bu*tons And get out, where there's a busy exit If you did your surveillance and sussed out the traps It gets handed to you like a piece of cake That's what Mikey used to say Yeah, yeah That's what Mikey used to say Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Things are different now The kid in the flat next door got an air pistol last week He was picking out pigeons And satellite dishes from the walkway Next thing I know, he's got it locked and loaded And he's strollin' around "Pop a cap in yo' a**", that's what he said to me He walks into the room now, they all pay attention It must feel good with his shots and his shocks No longer just another kid from the blocks No longer just another kid from the blocks It must feel good with his shots and his shocks No longer just another kid from the blocks No longer just another kid from the blocks Yeah, yeah No longer just another kid from the blocks Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah No longer just another kid from the blocks Yeah, yeah My boy little Mikey will be 11 months in January He's got his dads eyes I haven't seen Mikey for weeks I don't really listen When people say the things they say about him He's not a bad man, I want him back whateva Yeah, yeah I want him back whateva Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah I want him back whateva Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah
