[Intro: DMX]

Got me on the run

Uh, uh


[Verse: DMX]

"Boom, boom, boom, open the door, ATF!"

Too late to send my girl downstairs to say, "He left"

Hit the basement, go through the replacement door

Come up in my neighbor's yard, with a taste for war

You know I laced the four with the hollows

Crack the safe, grab the bottles

What you want me to do? Beep Carlos!

Two houses over by the tall black fence

I keep the hooptie parked for situations like this

There go Grease, yo, get in, you drive

What the fuck you doing, nigga? Tryna stay alive

Cops on every corner, I lean back and try to cruise by

Who the fuck coulda snitched? Must have been a new guy

Damn, they back on our ass

Put your foot back on the gas, step on it fast

Trying to pull up on the side, but I'm packing to blast

Trying to take them niggas heads off, fuck cracking the glass

Hey, look out, damn, came so close

You almost hit that bitch! (Like you said nigga, almost)

Shit, the cops hit her and I know they ain't gon' leave her

Go up here, make this left, pull it over, take a breather

Drop it on the floor!

Boom! Got it through the door

Pedal to the floor, leave officers flyin'

Death is in the air and I don't know if it's mine

But I know if it's time, it'll be what it is

And all I can think of is, "What about my kids?"

Shit, they on the corner, hit the sidewalk, quick!

One, two, three, four, five more clips

Hit the fire hydrant, get low for the shootout

Run through the fire, pull a joint from my boot out

Caught me in the shoulder, the neck, the ear

I'm going out fast, and the last thing I hear is

"Boom, boom, boom, open the door, ATF!"
