KWEST THA MADD LAD - 125 Pennies for Your Thoughts lyrics

rate me

Mmm..

I'm steppin up Sutton, headed for this get together

Weather was fierce, no sweat, I had on a rugged leather

Got to the subway station on Archer

And noticed that the train was about, to make a rapid departure

Fuck that, ain't no Jakes up here in the station

Pulled the turnstyle back slipped through with no hesitation

The bitch in the booth yelled pay your fare, I said yeah I oughta

Threw the finger up and said, owe ya a buck and a quarter

Jettin for the train, before that shit got ghost

And as I'm runnin down the steps, I spots two five-oh

They was jettin too, guess them niggaz had seen me ha?

Man fuck a cop, I wasn't even tryin to stop

The conductor saw me boogeyin, and still closed the shit up

And I spit in his face, before the train had time to get up

Heard a Jake yell STOP! I said pssh, stop deez

Caught my breath on the steps and got lost in the breeze

Headed down towards the J, hopin to make a getaway

and I see the same two cops on me yo, these niggaz ain't playin

Bumped an old lady, think I knocked her old ass down

Screamed SORRY MISS without tryin to turn around

Catchin mad looks and stares, as I hustled up the stairs

Please let the gate be open, and I'm up and outta here

As I approach the gate the cop still on the chase

God damn it's locked, aiyyo I can fit through that space

But what about the leather the gear and the Timbs you sportin

Won't they get dirty? Fuck that, my ass is more important

As I went under I heard STOP OR I'LL FIRE

But I kept goin and thought, pssh yeah right fuckin liar

For a dollar twenty-five ain't no way they gonna blast me

Til I heard a shot and felt the bullet fly right past me

Yo! What kind of shit is these pigs gettin with?

I was flippin script, but gotta admit I was shittin bricks

Hit the pavement as a bullet struck the wall beside me

My mind was in disarray, so I let my feet guide me

Got my thoughts together and it became mad clear

There was more than just me and fare bein involved here

But I couldn't figure that shit out for nothin

And didn't have time to stop and think, I just kept on struttin

Out like VRRRM, like a cartoon character caper

Jettin so fast Flash ass woulda caught the vapors

Hit a corner and looked back, damn they still sweatin me

I kept jettin G, ain't no fuckin way they was gettin me

Ran across the ave without checkin what color the light was

And got hit kinda hard by an old beat up white Dodge

But not nearly hard enough to stop my mission

Even though I didn't know my leg was in bad condition

The pain wasn't alla that as I kept up my speedin

But I was in need of a doctor for mass internal bleeding

My side felt kinda sore, my left arm felt dead

Put my hand into my jacket, it came out blood red

Pushed a kid he broke like WATCH WHERE YOU GOIN MOTHERFUCKER

Couldn't riff with that brother so I said, yo, your mother

Heard a siren then another then spots a blue and white

U-turned and ran round a corner til they was outta sight

Ran through a vacant lot, heard a shot pop then, pop pop pop pop

Oh shit, they got glocks?

Fled past a bunch of girls, but couldn't stop to peep booties

Was tired and fucked up, but I continued my duty

Pretty soon I was exhausted tellin self you lost kid

But if they was bustin at me I knew I get tossed an shit

Wasn't tryin to go upstate or to Riker's

So I took a breath and kept makin like my ass was on fire

Felt like I had lost ALL the blood in my body

I'd give anything to be laid up in the crib with a hottie

Stomach was doin flip-flops, all twisted and knotty

Next time I'm payin, this ain't my idea of a party

Aww shit! A squad car is block my path

Turn around and there's a bunch of cops right at my ass

Went to take my hand out my jacket to give up

Musta thought I was pullin out, no wait don't shoot I'm just..

The lady I had bumped fell, hit the third rail

But I didn't do no time, I never made it to jail

I often think I'd still be alive with my friends

if only I had came up off a dollar, and twenty-five cents
