[Ice-T]

Coolin in my crib, cold video dubbin

FBI wanted? Huh, don't mean nuttin

They call that shit a crime? Yo that shit's a joke

Hit record on my dope remote

I heard my phone ringin, I wonder who could it be

It was the E, the V, yes the I-L E

He said, "We got static - word, I just got out

Punks tried to move at the club and we shot out

Bullets everywhere," Okay what's the prob?

"Ink got popped, he's dead as a doorknob."

You bullshittin! "I ain't fuckin around.

The posse's rollin tonight, nigga are you down?"

I grabbed my AK, my 16, and my baby Mac

Strapped on my vest, and threw the 9 in the small of my back

I said - Chill, don't let nobody move without me

Say you know where they are?

He said, "I know where they be"

Let's peel their caps back

Let's peel their caps back



Twelve o'clock midnight, posse was airtight

Twenty-five cars, under the streetlights

Some people talked, while others cried

Ink was a brother, who shouldn't have died

Then the silence broke, Ice what's it gonna be?

38 hard brothers stood and stared at me

There were only two words that I had to say

P-A-Y, B-A-C-K

The car's loaded with a silence that could rape the dead

Pistols clipped as the chamber's loaded full of lead

Everyone in the crew knew what I said

would mean by morning, somebody else soon would be dead

Let's peel their caps back



The cars at the corner like a long black snake

Nightprowlin for a life to take

Ya see down in the ghetto it's an eye for an eye

That's the answer to the question why

In my throat, there's a lump, then I swallow it, I ain't no chump

Face of Death, then I cocked my pump

I'm a nigga on the trigger, madder than a pitbull

Just layin for a reason to pull

on you, any duck motherfucker that gets in my way

I'm insane, and my homeboy's death made me this way

But then we spot him, Evil E shot him

Dead in the face, made sure that he got him

Others ran, but no mercy to the posse's wrath

Automatic Uzi motherfuckin bloodbath

Let's peel their caps back

Let's peel their caps back

Let's peel their caps back



Then all of a sudden, a bullet came through my eye

My dome exploded and I felt my other brothers die

I drink my blood as I fell like shit into the street

My corpse stunk like a burnt out rotten piece of meat

Ten brothers died in this stupid homicidal binge

Cause whenever someone dies, nobody wins

But this drama, you'll never hear a word of

cause all the paper's gonna read is a gang murder

Gang murder
