Grab the Cash

Lyrics

[Produced by J Dilla] [Intro: Pain in Da Ass] As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States And it was….still is….and there is no going back now….. Okay!!! I'M RELOADED!!! [Rewind] [Verse 2: JC Assassin] Didact hit the click-clack, he call me, I'm feeling ill Said it was one of his last calls, can't afford to pay the bill Looking at my taxes, anonymous documents We gon' be broke by tomorrow, that's my hypothesis We got no dimes, no dollars, no decimals My girl sick, we can't afford the medical We close to poverty, then Didact and Kane callin' me "Let's set up a robbery and steal the bank property" I'm like "Kane, you insane? Nigga, what's gon' be the outcome? The police department ain't nothing I can outrun I don't wanna get in trouble!" And then on the double I stumble sadly, my girl livin' every night a struggle I got a fam to feed, a daughter on the way Call Jay-Day, he say he into play Thinkin' 'bout how much I need, got my daughter's birthday And if I don't do something, my girl's gon need first aid Started to tremble, then I put down the flask Go to the dollar store and buy an all black mask I know I gotta do this but it's a terrible task My romance, she startin' to lose the path I hit 'em back up, burner phone so they don't know the operation Thinkin' if I got caught, it's only prison or probation I'm waitin', front of my door, there comes Kane's van They filled me in on the plan, said that Jay Dayer be the main man Roll up to the bank and Jay starts shootin' rounds "This a robbery, everybody on the ground Hands in the air, we just here to get some numeral Business as usual or it's gonna be your funeral!" Walk out with money in the bag, now we all fucking bandits Girl won't be stranded, won't have to leave our kid abandoned In the van, Jay check the phone while he hit the road We gotta reload, hope the po-po don't know our zip code Crash! Happens in a flash, Jay hit a car I got a scar, no seatbelt on flew me far It's alright for the time being, I turn to the left Jay Dayer to the side, lookin' like he broke his neck Police cars up beside us now Why did we try this now? Police done eyed us down Didact now at the wheel, Kane helpin' Jay out Headin' to the hospital, changed routes, no way out Stoppin' at the hospital, Didact brake red hot Deadlock, I remember my girl dissing dreadlocks And laugh, step out the van with my head cocked To the right, police with a pistol, I get that headshot That was the end of JC Assassin This all started cause of some checks we couldn't cash in But now my baby got insurance money for my ashes This the end of my story, I had a closed casket [Rewind] [Verse 3: Gamemast15r] I gots to get the fuck up in it, formulate a caper Cause a gangster straight sufferin' from lack of havin' paper My homie's bitch fin' to have a bastard, see? So we needs to hit a lick, drastically So I tell Didact, told him the setup from the metro Said he'd give T & JC a call, and that he'd let know The get-go, that we're robbin' banks, but that he'd only get the best tho Toronto don't give a fuck, we'll let him hold up the register area They pull the alarm and he'll bury em', and we'll be movin' out like a carry-on JC got bigger issues so he'll go with D in the safe Hell we can throw the hostages in there and seal their mouths with some tape Me I take care of them myself I'm a people person And if they talk, I'll have them see through hearses So I pick em' up in the van, lookin' mighty suspicious But we'll be mighty vicious if a cop pulls us over and tries to get us Slam on the breaks as soon as we hit the front of the bank Broke in, automatic weapons, we go in, armed like a tank T yelled something among the lines of "Shut the fuck up, don't make a fucking sound Your getting stuck up, don't luck up or I'll put you on the ground" He taking care of the main register, that's his part of the bargain Ten grand, enough to get some food and take care of his car again JC takes care of security cameras, heads back with some stamina Didact yells "Nobody move, don't prove you're a man to us We don't want heros in this business, what is this? I'd told em' I take care of it And now they gettin' scared of it Mothafucka Grab the money, if these kids starts acting funny Then Imma go and blast they mommy, then you can go and catch a hommi You know I ain't trippin', I want this money and no one's gonna stop me He look at me shook, ran back inside and starts filling the duffel bags We done, we hustle back to the van, fuck a double back Now we out on the road shootin' at police officers No one is stoppin' us, we'll die for this cash, not go out in cuffs Hit the highway, I don't wanna die today Jay lookin' at his phone, is this the fucking price we pay? He's driving and we get a hit, what the fuck going on Answering texts from his girlfriend, ironic now he broke his arm Now JC injured as well, I wish I had something to relieve but now the coke is gone In a blink of an eye, after two hits, we drive to the hospital Like fuck the masks, look less suspicious, unless the EMTs see how our pockets full Little did we know that was a mistake, we drop off Jay We get out to push and JC gets headshotted by the Jakes This scheme is fucked so we scramble the money and dash through the alley Jumped over a couple fences and charged around this hooker named Sally All the sudden Didact be looking at me and eyeing me Desiring the paperbacks we just stole, won't even say bye to me There goes the hustle, instant betrayal, aims his gun at me, shows off his vest There was a struggle, he shot me in the shoulder I shot him through the chest I fly out the window, life flashes, every nintendo I've stolen and sold on the market, it's been hard shit, I gotta make it out alive, I gotta try my best I fell in the fucking dumpster and all I saw were the cop beams It didn't stop me until I got incapacitated by SWAT teams [Outro: Female News Reporter & Male News Reporter] Earlier this morning a group of men went to rob the Bank of America over on Rosenthal Lane when it later turned a turn for the worst Yes Susan, they appeared to have gotten into a collision on the interstate highway and miraculously survived. They then drove over to the hospital to drop off their friend, only to have him die in the emergency room and another accomplice killed by police. They later found another accomplice alive, shot in the shoulder, and bleeding when he was arrested by SWAT teams, the other accomplice was not found but police have not slowed down in their pursuit of him and it's only a matter of time before he get's caught. Now back to Madison for the weather
