[Chorus: Raekwon]
Pop, pop, pop went the shots, who's to blame?
Three get dropped and removed from the game
One get knocked, now his whole life is changed
'Cause he's so far from free in a world that seem strange
[Verse 1: GZA]
I come from a place where they say, "Death comes too soon"
Where the hoods on the block dance to a different tune
Every night and every day, hotels of foul play
Turns fatal in this hostile land of AKs
On any date, do not wait to pump them rounds
The reminder: it's a murderers stomping ground
With one less witness, gunned down in the staircase
Who had led his crew, but he was moving at a snail's pace
Many suspects, many possible motives
Just kept coming with unstoppable explosives
The weak fold in these most extreme conditions
While the rivals quickly strengthen their position
The mission was to move in with sheer brute force
And lives, they get lost, on a collision course
The streets are fascinating, so they gotta explore it more
But not without walking through some hurricane corridors
Become the most wanted, life can seem haunted
Thugs and agents who work closely up on it
Patriotic hustlers that kill for presidents
Conceal the truth, but can't hide the evidence
A man died holding some dice that he was shaking
Like a bank stop, but no valuables was taken
Shot at 8:45, but he died at 9
A video was the most precise witness to the crime
[Chorus: Raekwon]
Pop, pop, pop went the shots, who's to blame?
Three get dropped and removed from the game
One get knocked, now his whole life is changed
'Cause he's so far from free in a world that seem strange
Pop, pop, pop went the shots, who's to blame?
Three get dropped and removed from the game
One get knocked, now his whole life is changed
'Cause he's so far from free in a world that seem strange
[Bridge: Ras Kass]
Uh, Crips and Bloods, bricks and thugs
Clips and slugs, that's gangsta
[?] disciples, [?] assault rifles
Bust if we don't like you, that's gangsta
Old thirty-ones and Latin Kings with
Dirty guns, that's gangsta
Shot dozen coppers, Mexican mafias
Killing innocent [?]
[Verse 2: Ras Kass]
A view to a killin', aim two to the ceilin'
When niggas start illin', random chick catch a stray
Now her whole nose is peelin' and some some [?] squealin'
So the po-po's concealing the exits
The fo-fo's drilling at the next chick
Homies reckless when they TEC spit
Death is something, that's the best shit (Yeah)
Niggas play Xbox and [?] wet shit
[?] hit the block and go Saddam
Motherfuckers know your moms but get frustrated and blow your bombs
Little niggas is too small to hold their own
[?] should have thought about that before you gone
Sixteen years old getting charged [?]
[?] vote Conservative, getting results
And still can't reaffirm and maybe I'm part of the problem
But when the war's going on outside, you know the outcome
[Chorus: Raekwon]
Pop, pop, pop went the shots, who's to blame?
Three get dropped and removed from the game
One get knocked, now his whole life is changed
'Cause he's so far from free in a world that seem strange
Pop, pop, pop went the shots, who's to blame?
Three get dropped and removed from the game
One get knocked, now his whole life is changed
'Cause he's so far from free in a world that seem strange
