Ten Paces

Lyrics

[Verse] Loaded burner, blade in a calf holster Walkie talkie to communicate with the chauffeur Map of the block to escape when it's over Looking like a killer, feeling like a soldier The smell of perfume from having Tasha in my bed Sticks to my fingertips and still lingers in the air She told me about a hot spot named The Dragon's Lair Off a backstreet up out by the state fair She guarantee me every Sunday they be there Playing pool and sniffing coke up until the AM She met 'em both back when she used to bartend But said they'd be hard to touch cause the gang that they roll with No fear, ice is flowing through my veins Surveyed the spot last night and it's all arranged I know where they hang plus where they lay their heads They can confess to what they did or they can end up dead Had to drop me off three blocks from the spot Then park across the street in an open lot Put on my gas mask and took the alley just to creep up Black trench coat looking like the grim reaper Black assassin waiting for 'em after dark inside of a dumpster Twenty feet from where they park Quiet as a church mouse, silent as a beating heart Then the fat one stumbled out with a fat blunt to spark I knew the owner didn't let them smoke in the bar So they usually walked out to the dumpster way behind their cars He took a couple pulls and blasted off to outer space Pulled out my pepper spray and caught him right in his face Hopped out, he started screaming, punched him in his jaw The force from the punch made him bite down on his tongue "How it feel, fat boy? Now you all alone! Remember me?" pushed him to the ground and kicked his balls He tearing up like "oh shit, I thought you was dead!" "Naw man you and your mans killed the wrong kid I could kill you now for the sake of revenge Or you can come with me and tell the cops what you did" Heard footsteps, turned around, they're coming fast Two white t-shirts, two big dudes with red rags Side-stepped the first one but slipped on some broken glass The second one caught me hard enough that it cracked my mask Fell back a little dazed but knew he broke his hand Acted hurt but pepper sprayed him when he circled in First cat back now, he's swinging that wild Duck stuck my life into his stomach, made him take a bow Three dudes laid down, back to the fat one He spit in my face he say "fuck you, I ain't doing nothing!" I put my blade to his neck and started slowly cutting Heard a shotgun pump then I heard it start dumping Moved just in time, the shot hit the fat dude Blew the face right off the skull it was attached to He pumped again I could see the short motherfucker Second shot blow a hole right through that old dumpster Can't hide much longer gotta make a break Buck shots from a third shot almost hit my face I saw lights from a car pulling in the strip Thinking it's a cop car, I take it as my chance to dip Fourth shot hit the window of somebody's whip I'm hauling ass fast as possible until I slip He got the drop on me, but I still pull my nine His body drop but I swear that shot wasn't mine
