Ten Paces

[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
