Rhyme Groups — hover to spotlight
Unit✦ One, 10-13, suspects in pursuit✦
Between 7th and Broadway✦
This is Unit✦ Two, we're closing in
Proceed with caution
[Verse 2]
Here's✦ the plan, Shannon, you bring the van
And everybody's wearing gloves✦ on their hand
Strictly army✦ suits and long black Timberland boots
I want us all to roll like troops
See now we get the roll on them
Cause the punk little sucker✦ they shot up came and told on them
I want him bagged✦ up too
Cause ain't no telling of what he might do to my crew
Shoot a sucker✦ at point-blank range
If he seems like he's acting✦ strange
Dump the chump chain, go straight for the green and the jewels✦
And we can even✦ take niggers'✦ jewels✦
Shoot to kill and don't leave no witness
Survivors try to get live and get with this
Snatch up the top man and start slapping✦ him
And put a cap in him and then start wrapping✦ him
Up and pass no time to shiver✦
Stop on the bridge and deliver bodies✦ into✦ the river✦
Next stop, blow away✦ that pain-in-the-ass cop
The one that keeps getting niggers✦ knocked
Put an end to his shit and he ain't about✦ making✦ collars✦
The crooked-ass rookie wants dollars✦
My man Ron's on the rooftop, waiting to snipe
Two bullets went right through his windpipe
Cold blooded, shot down taking✦ his very✦ last breath
Left to bleed to death
Skip the jive, suckers that try to get live
Yo, I'm wanted✦ dead or alive✦
Unit✦ One, officer✦ down, in need of paramedic
Unit✦ Three, requesting✦ back-up✦
I repeat,✦ officer✦ requesting✦ back-up✦
Yo this is Unit✦ Two
Yo I'm in pursuit✦ of him right now
I got him, I got him, I got him
But when you see him, he won't be alive✦
Cause I'm gonna✦ get him
[Verse 3]
I'm wanted✦ dead or alive✦
So you better✦ go and pin up posters
Souls are burning like bread in the toaster
You stand in a trance with your pants full of manure✦
Flesh and blood clogs up the street sewers
Ready✦ to kill some one else and
Cause I'm wanted✦ dead or alive✦ like Baby✦ Face Nelson
Kick butts, a lot of heart, a lot of guts
And I'm quick to kick a nigga✦ in his nuts
Armed✦ robbery, homicide, third degree murder✦
Plus shit you never✦ heard of
Come in my face with the he say, she say
And I'mma✦ kick you up your ass like Pelé
One night some kids went for broke
And you can almost choke from the gun smoke
Somebody got robbed✦ and got fed up
So he set up the block to get wet up
One kid got caught down a dead-end street
Gunned✦ him down from his head to his feet
One brother got smoked✦ in a car chase
Through the windshield, a bullet✦ in the face
Left his head wide open✦ like a basket✦
Went to his funeral, shot up his casket✦
This is the type of shit on the street I survive
Yo, I'm wanted✦ dead or alive✦
Latest✦ bulletin, suspect seen approaching West Side Highway✦
I repeat,✦ all units✦ cease pursuit,✦ cease pursuit✦
Roadblock is now being set up
Over✦ and out
