Wanted for Murder

Date Written	Autumn 2004
Length	3:36

 

This rap was written to highlight the plight that befalls many young gangstas in the hood. It concerns a small-time crook, possibly guilty of no more than a few misadventures, driven to murder by a society that won't accept him for the beautiful person he is. I think we probably all know at least one person in a similar situation.

 

Lyrics

 

Sssshhhhhhhh

 

Verse 1

 

A man with no wheels can't make no trip

When he's pimpin' all hours for this empty spliff

A nigga gets serious without no weed

Coz a nigga in need is a nigga indeed

My trigger finger's sore with the need to tap

Coz a fire-burned tongue don't translate to rap

Puffin' real trees while I'm poppin' the cap, nigga

A mugshot wanted for pimpin' is wanted for murder

 

Verse 2

 

I'm makin' real friends with my bulgin' sack

There's trick to sellin' hos and a trick to sellin' crack

"We trippin' strong baby, and yo rappin' is so whack!"

You bitches outta see me dance

I've got twins on my lap so fine, but it seems

They'll be lookin' even finer when they turn fifteen

Hos who suck dick never seen my anger

A mugshot wanted for dealin', wanted for murder

 

Verse 3

 

My neighbourhood echoes with the sound of hooves

These pigs could never dance to my gangsta grooves

When you're pimpin' like Bird when he played the blues

A sting never came for free

My real pig stakeout is about to blow

With their dicks in hand as my gat unloads

Eyes on my hos with they backs to the master

A mugshot taken for mischief, taken to murder
