[Ice-T] Coolin in my crib, cold video dubbin FBI wanted? Huh, don't mean nuttin They call that shit a crime? Yo that shit's a joke Hit record on my dope remote I heard my phone ringin, I wonder who could it be It was the E, the V, yes the I-L E He said, "We got static - word, I just got out Punks tried to move at the club and we shot out Bullets everywhere," Okay what's the prob? "Ink got popped, he's dead as a doorknob." You bullshittin! "I ain't fuckin around. The posse's rollin tonight, nigga are you down?" I grabbed my AK, my 16, and my baby Mac Strapped on my vest, and threw the 9 in the small of my back I said - Chill, don't let nobody move without me Say you know where they are? He said, "I know where they be" Let's peel their caps back Let's peel their caps back
Twelve o'clock midnight, posse was airtight Twenty-five cars, under the streetlights Some people talked, while others cried Ink was a brother, who shouldn't have died Then the silence broke, Ice what's it gonna be? 38 hard brothers stood and stared at me There were only two words that I had to say P-A-Y, B-A-C-K The car's loaded with a silence that could rape the dead Pistols clipped as the chamber's loaded full of lead Everyone in the crew knew what I said would mean by morning, somebody else soon would be dead Let's peel their caps back
The cars at the corner like a long black snake Nightprowlin for a life to take Ya see down in the ghetto it's an eye for an eye That's the answer to the question why In my throat, there's a lump, then I swallow it, I ain't no chump Face of Death, then I cocked my pump I'm a nigga on the trigger, madder than a pitbull Just layin for a reason to pull on you, any duck motherfucker that gets in my way I'm insane, and my homeboy's death made me this way But then we spot him, Evil E shot him Dead in the face, made sure that he got him Others ran, but no mercy to the posse's wrath Automatic Uzi motherfuckin bloodbath Let's peel their caps back Let's peel their caps back Let's peel their caps back
Then all of a sudden, a bullet came through my eye My dome exploded and I felt my other brothers die I drink my blood as I fell like shit into the street My corpse stunk like a burnt out rotten piece of meat Ten brothers died in this stupid homicidal binge Cause whenever someone dies, nobody wins But this drama, you'll never hear a word of cause all the paper's gonna read is a gang murder Gang murder
