Panic!!!!!! Lyrics - Illadelph Halflife - The Roots

Black Thought: 

I woke up in the darkness at 12: 17...to shots and sirenes 

Look out the window, peep the high beams 

Now they searchin, the cops lookin for the person... 

That pulled the trigga 

Medical figures is nursin the kid that got shot 

Some innocent ak that would front 

To flip the rock on them at King Street block 

I tried to tell him to stop cuz yo, it's ghetto red hot 

Similar to the blood now floodin his top 

I take a step out the spot, to the point of attack 

And see the shorty wop heart blast out his back 

Damn, I'm thinkin it don't cease, it's no more peace 

Police level increase, but what the fuck... 

It's still crime on the streets 

I can't breathe, now what's goin on? 

One minute you alive, the next, you're gone 

Illadel-P-H-I-A Hell 

Bust off into the heavens for the nigga who fell 

And hit the L, for the niggaz who fell 

When that could have been prevented 

In front of the flat your moms rented 

And no one expect that from you, cuz you was timid 

Fuckin with them cats from outside city limits 

Funny how this whole thing changed, an off minute 

Yo, dig it, Panic! 

None of this is ever granted 

Drownin in a nightmare, stranded
