Pager vibrates so it's like the late 90's Wait for the phone at the cafe see the code Emergency 911 type urgency Tap the shoulder of the bitch ahead of me (hurry please)....

How can you see with your eyes when they're closed How can you be with a mind that is closed Needing reason for the rhyme I am told I am told that the reason for the rhyme is unknown I am told I am told that the reason is unknown Open your eyes witness your downfall (Witness your downfall) (Open your eyes) Arrive at the crib thinking crazy thinking quick (zzzzt zzzzt) Pull my beeper out my pocket is it Lazy no it's KidD Clear away his number, phone, dial tone Enter Ku's digits wait a minute is he home...

We emptied magazines and shells back then there we sat The Cadillac and the Lumina both not looking very well All the smoke and the holes and the blood, mixing smells (oh well) My mind is blown But you'll never ever ever see it With your eyes closed
