[Verse 1: Ghostface Killah]
Ayo, a knight locked up in the cage, I'm enraged,
But plenty of time to think of my position,
This cop is corrupt, he gotta be in the mix of shit,
He set me up so this nigga be fixin' shit.
So I took out his competition,
So he's my competition, that makes my decision
Easy, he gotta be the lord of the drugs,
And that's Bamboo's man, that's where he stands,
He played both sides of the fence on some real-real shit,
Counterfeit thug, tryna play legit.
Seen the bars slide open as I bought off a bail,
I seen Bamboo waitin' as I exit the jail,
She said, «Please, Ton, you gots to go,
You can't stay around this part of town.» Already know,
I'm blowin' bail, headin' up north, free in the country,
She gave me a hug and a big stack of money.
[Chorus: Ghostface Killah – ×2]
Sometimes you gotta figure out the pieces to the puzzle
Right in front of your face, stop the hustle,
Take off the muzzle, let the dogs bark,
Clear your mind, bring the light to the dark.
[Verse 2: AZ]
My cash missin', my lab different.
Where the fuck is Bamboo? She need an ass whippin'.
I was told Ton' was home, I'm way past Fifth, and
Guess it's time to get in my zone, this my last mission,
Did what I could do with this pump, and I'm like fuck it!
Feelin' like Hammer on crutches, he can't touch this,
Illustrious, multi movements,
I drew the blueprints but now it's time for improvements,
Press his peoples, left a message, nothing peaceful,
Shit police do, we could never be a equal.
Execution, I get it in, retribution,
Best solution, get up close when you're shootin',
Shit for realler, I'm mad raw with a killer,
What's even iller, I knew the boss since Thriller,
Till we're even, I guess it's gon' be grieving,
A lot can change in 36 seasons.
[Chorus: Ghostface Killah – ×2]
Sometimes you gotta figure out the pieces to the puzzle
Right in front of your face, stop the hustle,
Take off the muzzle, let the dogs bark,
Clear your mind, bring the light to the dark.
