Last Night Lyrics - Murs

[Verse 1] 

Now some claim gangsta rap's the CNN of the streets 

But it's used as an excuse to pretend over beats 

So I'ma lend my speech to all within my reach 

To tell what really goes on from cells to the streets 

Now in LA as you know there's a war going on 

And it's been going on since before I was born 

Though the undisputed origin has yet to be formed 

It all used to boil down to the red and the blue 

But that got fucked up as the many led the few 

Now there's bloods killin' bloods and crips killin' crips 

That's niggas killin' niggas they play kickball with 

It ain't as simple as it was way back in '86 

Let me give an example of some ol' MURS shit 

My sect of mid-city is livin' on the edge 

'cause there's four gangs at war and none of them wear red 

Any new car or face could mean bloodshed 

Which led to the other night, I'm in my girl's Bug, right 

I'm bout to hit the block to see who's chillin' on the spot outside 

When I put it in park, the homey got a SK aimed at my ride 

So I step out slowly, 'body no one fear 

He yells, that's Murs I see his beard from here 

But I told this whole story just to make things clear 

So it don't seem weird when I tell ya this here

[Chorus - 2x] 

Last night I almost got shot on my block 

Not the block where I live at, the block where I chill at 

Where I keep it real at, and used to pack steel 

At times I feel it's the spot I'll get killed at 

 

[Verse 2] 

Now in the entertainment industry they have sweeps weeks 

But it's Thursday in my hood when they sweep them streets 

A whole fleet of the task that they simply call CRASH 

That's Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums 

If anyone should ask what the acronym reflects 

Put into effect to try to keep the gangs in check 

Now they're just another gang out bangin' they set 

Known for stirring up some shit when your hood is at peace 

The only pig I know dying to create beef 

But let me get on with my story so that all of y'all can peep 

Once again I'm on my block right, known as Cloverdale 

Playin' 2K2 while I'm talkin' on my cell well 

While I'm inside eyes glued to the screen 

CRASH rolls on my homies with the Thursday routine 

What's your name, where you goin', where you been, where you from 

We say the same thing while they just play dumb 

We don't gang-bang we got J-O-B's 

Still they make 'em turn around and get down on they knees 

Me, I'm screamin' in the house I just won by three 

So when I run out on the porch to tell the homies come and see 

I see 'em on the ground and I'm like, god damn 

Plus I got this black Nextel phone in my hand 

They both yell freeze, guns aimed at me 

And even though I drop my phone it's plain to see

[Chorus] 

 

[Verse 3] 

It was a 2 month tour that ended in Japan 

So the first day back I had to spend it with my fam 

That night I was goin' down to holler at my folks 

Have a few beers, smoke, and share a few jokes so 

To the block I bail but when I got to the dale 

Everybody's on the porch lookin' distraught as hell 

They start to tell me on how some fools from the other side 

just tried to kill T, he don't fuck with nobody 

Just be mindin' his biz 

So you have to understand what an explosive situation this Terry thing is 

My nigga never gang-banged a day in his life so 

Fuckin' with him is not a way to earn stripes 

But a way to get wiped off the motherfuckin' planet 

I don't claim to be a killer with a heart made of granite 

But try to kill my best friend and it's on goddammit 

I had the big homey roll me over to my place 

So I could pick up this nine I kept just in case 

of some shit like this, a box of hollow-tips 

I slipped back to the block with the heat in my hand 

We sat up in the house loadin' guns, makin' plans 

They asked me was it stolen, and why I never told 'em 

Nobody in the hood ever knew that I was holdin' 

I told 'em I forgot but I did it on purpose 

So they wouldn't ask to borrow it to go and do dirt with 

Now we locked and loaded and about to hit the streets 

When we look to the corner there's a Jeep tryin' to creep 

With its headlights off, we all leap for cover 

They start to let off - now how does this sound? 

When I hit the deck, my pistol hits the ground 

So the homey picked it up and let off a couple rounds 

After that went down I knew I might get clowned 

So I shook to the crib to take a shower and lay down 

The next morning woke up, rolled out of bed 

I called my girl up and this is what I said 

 

[Chorus]
