  It was once said by Black Thought that +Things Fall Apart+
  Knew I shouldn't have been messin with dude's girl from start
  But I pimp from the heart, the art of it made it interestin
  Plus me and sister blend before we got intimate
  Friend or no friend, my man caught wind
  This chick is payin me, it'll either cost me or cost him
  Told her she shoulda lost him (when?) a while ago
  Cause dude'll drink a pile of Mo' and defile her yo
  I ain't here to start on this {nigga} for me to wreck his broad
  you could tell what I thought of this {nigga}
  Nickname was Smoke, don't know if that was cause of cigarettes
  (or what?) or guns he tote, he called shots on the deck
  so I wasn't tryin to call his bluff, by his persona
  you could see, he think he tough!
  If that wasn't enough, old girl had his son
  This is Wild like the West I'm like Jesse on the run, uhh

  I understand that time is runnin out, I'm thinkin of town-skippin
  Got a Chevy but the alternator be trippin
  I'm hittin rum straight, thinkin of a route to truncate
  The streets is watchin, out is one way I put myself in his Nike's
  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 Smoke's guys, to stay out of sight I tried
  Told Jill Scott to meet we coulda picked a better spot
  On some "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" {shit} like Deborah Cox
  Looked at my watch, {shit} I don't even got a watch
  Felt for my glock, damnit I don't even got a glock, yo

  Pressure puh-pressure what? The pressure's cookin
  It ain't good lookin, like a black promoter I'm talkin bookin
  Not that I'm spooked of dude, I could whup him
  But he was on the horn informin the rest of them hoodlums (aight)
  Usually I wouldn't fight over a woman, old girl had a sun-shine
  was messed up, on Smoke's payroll was one-time
  My pager went off, it read one line: "Come get me
  from Halsted," I'm 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
  I've been drinkin too strong to be thinkin too long
  Like 40 goin North I'm 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
