The Roots - Panic!!!!!! Lyrics
[Black Thought]I woke up in the darkness at 12:17...to shots and sirensLook out the window, peep the high beamsNow they searchin, the cops lookin for the personThat pulled the triggerMedical figures is nursin the kid that got shotSome innocent ak that would frontTo flip the rock on them at McKean Street blockI tried to tell him to stop cuz yo, it's ghetto red hotSimilar to the blood now floodin his topI take a step out the spot, to the point of attackAnd see the shorty wop heart blast out his backDamn, I'm thinkin it don't cease, it's no more peacePolice level increase, but what the *****...It's still crime on the streetsI can't breathe, now what's goin on?One minute you alive, the next, you're goneIlladel-P-H-I-A HellBust off into the heavens for the nigga who fellAnd hit the L, for the niggas who fellWhen that could have been preventedIn front of the flat your moms rentedAnd no one expect that from you, cuz you was timid*****in with them cats from outside city limitsFunny how this whole thing changed, an off minuteYo, dig it, Panic!!!!!None of this is ever grantedDrowning in a nightmare, stranded
