Two drunken poets as the first shots hit My man don't duck quick and gets hit in the chest I just got nicked cos I had on the vest Now I'm dashin, cars in the garage Run past the Path'. run past the Dodge Rumble for the keys, made it to my shit The AK can spray now niggas is gettin hit, "Is you down, nigga?"
