Grab the Cash

[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
