[Verse 2]
We boned✦ down Vernon,✦ made a right on Normandie
Left on Florence, gettin'✦ through the E.T.G.'s
Spun out on Vermont, made a left on Colden✦
Right on Hoover,✦ "E, where we goin'?"
He didn't even✦ answer✦ that
Checked the rear view, they were still out back
Where were these brothers✦ from?
What made these brothers✦ come?
Bang! Our back window✦ was removed by a shotgun
Now Hen G was shot, Don caught a ricochet
These motherfuckers was ill, they didn't come to play
Bust a right turn, parked,✦ and then we got left
Hid in the the bushes,✦ shot the gas tank to fake death
But would this really✦ keep them psyched?
Three of us bleedin',✦ it was ten past midnight!✦
[Interlude 2]
"Listen✦ to my 9 millimeter✦ go bang!"
"Midnight,✦ time for a homicide"
"South Central"✦
Come on, man, y'all bleeding bad, man
You gotta✦ keep up, man, we can't stop here!
[Verse 3]
I really✦ didn't like how this shit was goin' down
Wrong night, wrong time, wrong fuckin'✦ part of town
Ya see, we was deep in the Hoovers' hood
Three niggas✦ bleedin',✦ that shit don't look good!
See over✦ there, red don't go; some places,✦ red's all they know
But not our luck, tonight we was real fucked✦
Broke down an alley✦ and we instantly had to duck
Fuckin'✦ police✦ on a gang sweep
No time to deal with one time, so we had to creep
Broke through a backyard, ran through a vacant✦ lot
E, Hen, and Don kept up to be some niggas✦ shot
Shit was gettin'✦ crazy,✦ so I had to get busy✦
Hen was bleedin'✦ worse and Evil✦ was gettin'✦ dizzy✦
Looked✦ in a parking lot, I needed✦ a snatch bar
Had to hot wire, so I moved✦ on an old car
It was a bucket,✦ but fuck it, it had to do
Started it up and scooped my whole crew
Two blocks later,✦ we saw fuckin'✦ blue lights
The pigs were behind us, it was half past midnight!✦
[Interlude 3]
"Listen✦ to my 9 millimeter✦ go bang!"
"Take you on a walk through hell"
"South Central"✦
Y'all just lay down on the floor of this car
Fuck the police,✦ man, I'ma✦ handle this
[Verse 4]
When they pulled✦ us over,✦ shit got worse
I waited✦ 'til they got out, and then I hit 'reverse'
Fucked✦ 'em up, I seen one cop fall
Threw it in gear, "Yo, I'm outty,✦ y'all"
Don't know how, but somehow we got away✦
Lost the jackers, the cops, dumped✦ the G.T.A.
Made it back to the hood, fixed✦ the crew up
And even✦ though Evil's car blew up
We made it home, and then I crashed out
Thinkin' 'bout my all-night death bout
Then somethin' woke me up from my dark sleep
The sound of fuckin'✦ police✦ when they're tryin' to creep
Broke through my door with no goddamn warning
Looked✦ at my watch, it was six in the mornin'✦
