No Malice - There Was a Murder lyrics

[Intro: Kobe] I wake up-wake up in the morning 'Cuz them boys come knocking in the morning Then I have me girl go flush in the toilet Them say did someone get murdered on the corner? Them say did someone see me, seen someone get shot Them say they saw me there... My n***a they won't break me, and I'll go crazy Before they make me tell... [Hook: Kobe] There was a murder by the corner house, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa Them boys asking questions now, no-no-no-no-no Now everybody seen it, but don't nobody know What happened to the boy down the street a week ago Ain't nobody talking, they keep it on the low Don't open ya mouth, when they knocking at ya door Cause n***as die out here for snitching, they dying for snitching... OK? These n***as die out here for snitching, they dying for snitching... OK? [Verse 1: Pusha T] Those who break the code, we dig them holes What's worse than a street n***a that sells his soul? Be it the life we chose, we pick our roles Bad man stands an' fall but never fold Gangster turn informer when the jig's up Ya tool mix-up mix-up Babylon boys, get bodies left for pick-up Blood puddle, gun muffle, guns couple Muzzle in mouth, we bring trouble Soon police come rush, whole family crushed All because them pussies couldn't hush Shot box mouths with no covers Body 'pon body gets stacked, one top th'other Wish them hadn't to suffer [Hook] [Verse 2: Malice] Nobody seen nothing, heard nothing, they ain't said a word Just chalk and yellow tape, with blood 'pon them shirts Ashes to ashes his body back to the Earth That casket drop six feet, then throw upon it dirt "Mum's the word", that's hustler's etiquette You'd rather hang yourself than turn state evidence Ever since I was young, never talk to the folk Tongue small like a rudder, yet steer the 'ole boat! Loose lip the reason that ship no longer float Telling the Feds everyting they wanna know That fatal blow took his very last breath The power of ya tongue is life-and-d**h, ya feel me? [Hook]
