Five Minutes to Flush

Lyrics

[Intro] Five minutes to flush [Verse 1: Nature] They said they just wanna question me, the interruption Four in the mornin', they knocked and caught me fuckin' Throw on somethin' mad provocative Play with the top lock Buy me some time so I can hide the shit kinda quick Move the guns, clip the herb They got me shook up, plus my nut was disturbed Hide the chocolate, pickin' up shells from off the carpet Barricadin' the door for war like a hostage It's my crib, got my name on the lease Can't explain, niggas just get arraigned and released But who snitched? Set me up? I think it's you, bitch Sacrificin' my life for your two kids? Truth is, I got a business to lose Eyewitness news, paper tellin' bitches to move Police turned the strip to a zoo, mad reporters I laugh as I sit from my view, they think they caught us [Chorus: Roger Troutman] Early in the mornin', Feds are out at the door What you gonna do? What you gonna do when they come through for you? Ooh-wee! Ooh-wee! Ooh-wee! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah! Four minutes left Four minutes! [Verse 2: Nature] About a minute went by, they knocked harder My bitch went hysterical in shock, slapped her to calm her .44 cocked — the armor It's been a long day, now a raid with Jakes playin' the hallway It's senseless, enter my crib and can't prevent this Blockin' my entrance, tryin' to knock it off the hinges Batterin' rams come in inches My hoe was buggin', throw a fit, puttin' coke in the oven Like I'm Larry Davis, the phone rang, some D.A. bitch "Nature, turn yourself in" — I didn't say shit Knowin' in my heart I'mma stay rich It's amusin', confusin' 'em 'til they lose patience Try to ease up, calm my nerves with the cheeba Hopin' the door doesn't fall before the keys flush D's rush, plus the riot squad No surrender, no retreat, shit's deep when times is hard [Chorus: Roger Troutman] Early in the mornin', Feds are out at the door What you gonna do? What you gonna do when they come through for you? Ooh-wee! Ooh-wee! Ooh-wee! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah! Three minutes left Three minutes! [Verse 3: Nature] By the time they busted in, I had touched the cash Just flushed the last hundred grams, niggas, deduct the math They made me, either that or let 'em take me Still in my night clothes, fake like I'm sleep Spoke to my rat, heard him ask where the coke at Predicate felon, hope to never go back They had surveillance, aware of all dealings Knew about bitches that liked to shoot and loot kept in the ceilings Searchin' my spot behind curtains, stay cursin' Chief of police, finally meetin' in person But I just flushed the yayo, what could he say though? Tryin' to flip on me, once was on the payroll Tryin' to lay-low, he can't find what he need So instead, I'm cuffed, taken down for some weed But it's just for a short stay I call The Firm, then emerge on the streets to return the next court day [Chorus: Roger Troutman] Early in the mornin', Feds are out at the door What you gonna do? What you gonna do when they come through for you? Ooh-wee! Ooh-wee! Ooh-wee! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah! Two minutes left Early in the mornin', Feds are out at the door What you gonna do? What you gonna do when they come through for you? Ooh-wee! Ooh-wee! Ooh-wee! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah! One minute left
