Casualties of a Dice Game

[Intro]

It's Flamboyant, y'all

Yeah, yeah yeah, Corleone, y'all

[Verse]

Me and my man was cruising through the streets

And everything was flowing nice

The corner's crowded, niggas must be rolling dice

I parked the ride so my nigga Iroc can crash the lye spot

And I'ma gamble until he come back – why not?

Click-clack, cock the gat back, gotta be strapped

The game was mad packed, mad cats' pockets was fat

They playing cee-lo, my dick get hard when I see dough

I bets nothing less than a G, yo – you know my steelo

First I was losing, then I started throwing headcrack

After headcrack, got my bread back

Jumped in my red Ac', I'm waitin for my nigga to come out of the spot

I see niggas starting to plot and I'm far from my block

Finally he walked out, told him, "Hop the fuck in"

On my face he saw the grin and said, "How much did you win?"

I estimated "about... 45, maybe 50 G's"

My man was hungry, so I dropped him off at Mickey D's

Now I'm alone, heading home to rest my dome

Spotted some niggas trailing, so I picked up the phone

Called Bones, I said, "Yo, son, I'm on the run

Need your help before I get done

Meet me downstairs, bring your big gun"

I don't believe this, this nigga said he can't make it

'Cause some bitch is in his house butt-naked

And then he hung up

And this supposed to be my man and he don't give a fuck

That duck sold me out just to get a nut – what?!

I'm cruising fast and they still behind me

The same nigga who I won the money from and his grimy crimey

It's about to get real hasty

Grabbed the steel, took it off safety

'Cause I refuse to let these niggas waste me

I started to cruise fast, then stopped short and made 'em crash

And now them fags is all bloody from the shattered glass

And one of them had passed, when his face smashed the dash

I was injured too, leaking with a deep gash

I ain't panicked, I was quite calm

Couldn't use the right arm

So I grabbed the gat with the left, walked up to the car

The creep was stuck in the seat

Looked at him, shook my head, then started bucking my heat

It's over now, 'cause both of these motherfuckers asleep

I think I'm dying, I'm feeling weak out on my feet

But before I got some medical help, I had to catch a cab first

To one-forty-first and Bradhurst

That's where Bones live, walked in the building, staggering

Lookin' tore down, shot his door down, and beat his whore down

From the look in my eye, he knew he would die

Started to cry, stuck the gat to his head and said, "Why?"

Then he offered me all of his cheese

Then dropped to his knees and begged me, please, not to squeeze

Then his brains got blast out, he's ass-out, then I dashed out

Into the streets, covered with blood, about to pass out

The hospital's up a couple of blocks

I'm on my way, but– damn, here comes a couple of cops

I pulled out and started blowing, they started blowing back

I'm going all out, I ain't holding back

I been to jail once and I ain't goin back

I kept shooting, one shot caught a cop dead in his top

The other pig ducked behind a big truck

I was bleeding real bad and couldn't stop it

But still had the fifty thou' profit in my pockets

The coast was clear, so I jetted to a park that was near

Seen kids playing everywhere, then threw the cash in the air

I watched all of them, run for their share

And all I can do was stare, I got weak and fell on my rear

Now I can hear the sirens, that means here comes the Jakes

But it's too late, I'm knocking on the pearly gates

[Outro]
