J-Live - Great Live Caper lyrics
Let me tell you about the time I had to solve this case When some crab motherfucker straight invaded my space It was approximately 8:47 P.M. I was on my way home comin' back from the gym My muscles kinda ached, they felt rigid and stiff But my mind was at ease from this Coltrane riff Playin loud... out at Fulton and Truce ‘Till a Jeep drowned it out with Xzibit and Snoop As I get closer to the heezy baby Certain parts of my body started actin' crazy My ears got to twitchin' and my right hand shook I had the sudden need to speed so I decided to book As I arrived on the block to see a bunch of kids scopin' out my building Noticin' the door wide open As I jetted up the stairs past signs of forced entry Expecting to see my humble abode stripped empty Oh hell no! (ah, ah, ah, ah,) [x8] Ay yo, my trip from the front door to the second floor Had me feelin' so alone, embarrassed and insecure My worldly possessions that I cherished in pride Flashed in a matter of seconds before my eyes But not photographic, more like alphanumeric You know, VCR, TV, laptop, C3 VS, MP, LP, CDs RL, (?), N-I-K-E Not to mention USA and RC3C That opened up in D.C. for Run DMC(?) This has gotta be a nightmare, somebody pinch me When up the stairs I see my ten-speed GT Right where I left it, rather bizarre Still felt violated, my apartment door was ajar As I stormed in, thinkin' it's about to be on The window was wide open, but nothin' was gone As I dashed to the edge I held my head past the ledge I seen two hooded figures jumpin' over a fence They was way beyond capture, so I took a step back So I could figure this shit out cuz it was getting intense The computer was on, file cabinets wide open Bookshelves was tipped over, they searched, but didn't steal Wait a minute, the picture from my built-in safe Was slightly tilted to the side, I was beginning to feel The same tingling in my fingers and hands Everything else in the house was there, so work with me one time But my instincts failed me not The safe was blown wide open They stole my priceless book of rhymes! Oh hell no! (ah, ah, ah, ah) Ah, shit I've been hit, Elizabeth this is the big one Fuck it, these niggas got me pullin' out my big guns So be it, so what if they got it? They can't have it Dagnabit! The last thing I needed was static But I got a briefcase for just such an occasion So I grabbed it, jetted downstairs, hailed a cab I knew this shit was gonna happen, I was gettin' too nice From the briefcase I pulled out a homin' device Three times better than lowjack, these MC's is so whack That now they gotta resort to stealin' my text As I fixed on their position for my intercept mission The cabbie was feather-footed, it was getting me vexed As we headed toward Jersey the signal got stronger Even in the tunnel was right on they tail A green Volkswagen had the nerve to blast ragged A dead giveaway, now watch justice prevail I told the cabbie get closer, but he had no heart Next thing I know we was like five blocks apart But they was headed for the airport, a getaway plan Traffic was getting' thick, so I got out and ran Followed the signal all the way to this drive in hanger These niggas wanna... with a lear jet? I drove a luggage cart up the runway to no avail They pulled out just in time, but I'm not done yet So watch this You think you can get away clean? I know every rhyme in that book You got five seconds to turn that plane around! It's like that? Aight, then! If I can't have it, no one can!
