(feat. Common)
for me to wreck his broad
you could tell what I thought of this [nigga]
Nickname was Smoke, dont know if that was cause of cigarettes
(or what?) or guns he tote, he called shots on the deck
so I wasnt tryin to call his bluff, by his persona
you could see, he think he tough!
If that wasnt enough, old girl had his son
This is Wild like the West Im like Jesse on the run, uhh

6 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I, dont, know)
Pressure is mountin
Oh baby now, how we gon get through? (I, dont, know)
Cant go left and (uh-uh) cant go right and (uh-uh)
Dont know, how we made it through the night (yo, we got..)
5 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (Do it, do it..)

I understand that time is runnin out, Im thinkin of town-skippin
Got a Chevy but the alternator be trippin
Im hittin rum straight, thinkin of a route to truncate
The streets is watchin, out is one way I put myself in his Nikes
His position is, Aight man, somebody bonin my lady
Probably snap like Rod-man
My plan was to meet at this bar called the Tiki (when?)
round four, when she was comin she would beep me
I sat deep in the corner, drinkin zombies, becomin one by now
Wonderin if my style would support her and her child
Out the corner of my eye saw this stud I recognized (who?)
One of Smokes guys, to stay out of sight I tried
Told Jill Scott to meet we coulda picked a better spot
On some Nobodys Supposed to Be Here [shit] like Deborah Cox
Looked at my watch, [shit] I dont even got a watch
Felt for my glock, damnit I dont even got a glock, yo

Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I dont know..)

Pressure puh-pressure what? The pressures cookin
It aint good lookin, like a black promoter Im talkin bookin
Not that Im spooked of dude, I could whup him
But he was on the horn informin the rest of them hoodlums (aight)
Usually I wouldnt fight over a woman, old girl had a sun-shine
was messed up, on Smokes payroll was one-time
My pager went off, it read one line: Come get me
from Halsted, Im thinkin this is monkey bar [shit]
Went to the phone quick, called her (what happened?) Her line was busy
Situation number nine, got my mind dizzy
Wondered if this plan was designed to get me
Ive been drinkin too strong to be thinkin too long
Like 40 goin North Im doin 50, headed for the spot
Askin God to be with me, and lately
she has been actin shifty (but what?)
But then it hit me (hit me) it hit me (hit me)
It hit me (hit me) it hit me
