Bad dreams

This is a matter of utmost urgency
You might even call it a police emergency
Suckers got ill when they finally heard the G
Wasn´t sellin´ out, they tried to murder me
Reached for my jammy like a troop´s supposed to do
Never let a sucker get too close to you
Heard ´em comin´, ducked behind the wall
Then saw the whites of his eyes, the first one had to fall
Another bug creeped up the fire escape
Trying to sneak, I guess he snuck too late
Lookin´ like a scene from Real Life Vice
The way his head fell apart like a block of solid ice
Uzi does it, come to think of it
Dude had a nine, but his wasn´t as fast as mine
I heard the phone ring, should I answer?
This is gettin´ serious as terminal cancer
And that is the final stage, my primal rage
Began to rise and I started to fantasize
How many more might try to rush the door
And blast their way in, hell, I ain´t stayin´
I opened the back door and felt the summer night heat
Saw a bunch of bugs wearin´ white sheets
What else could it mean? I know it ain´t Halloween
The cross in the background burnin´ made a ill scene
First I was panicky, then I was angry
One creep even had a rope ready to hang me
Now who am I supposed to be? Eddie Spaghetti?
You come and vic Rob G any time you´re ready?
Fuck that, they had me trapped so I rushed back
They tried to bust me but they don´t have enough caps
I dipped, dived, slipped, slid, they missed me
I had to move quick or they was bound to get me
One bullet grazed me, that didn´t phase me
What could I say? I was havin´ a fucked up day
Stood up and took aim, my finger on the trigger
I shouted "Now let me hear you say nigger!"
Well anyway, nobody spoke or went for broke
The place was all clouded up from gunsmoke
And everything got quiet, I don´t buy it
Just a second ago we had a riot
They must be plannin´ attack or settin´ a trap
Whatever the case you won´t get this black
Now I´m on the edge and there´s no denyin´ it
Whatever the hell might work I´m tryin´ it
Thought I was a target that they could get right quick
But I ain´t goin´ out like no statistic
Another number, made me wonder
How many other brothers they´ve put under
I sat in the dark real still for a long time
Didn´t make a sound cos I´ve got a strong mind
Made my way to the street, it was daybreak
Must´ve fallen asleep, but for Pete´s sake
I didn´t see the enemy trying to put an end to me
The night before, my finger trigger was sore
I went in the house to get a fresh clip
And then I woke up an´ shit
It´s just a bad dream
You might even call it a police emergency
Suckers got ill when they finally heard the G
Wasn´t sellin´ out, they tried to murder me
Reached for my jammy like a troop´s supposed to do
Never let a sucker get too close to you
