Street Dreams

Big L—rest in peace

2 AM, just got outta the bar, headed toward my car
Me and Castro kind of blown 'cause we parked so far
Walking down the street, spot a couple of goonies on the creep
Pocket full of cash, so we dash fast, to avoid their ass
'Cause we know they're trailing now we on the run
Heavily inhaling, exhaling as I begin to caress my gun
We getting closer to our destination
I always mind my business but, somehow I find myself in these situations
Death what I'm facing if I give up now
They started popping, so you know we exchanging bullets in the street
He dropped one, but I graze another
And in the heat of the moment I thought about my girl and how much I love her
Praying to God that tonight wasn't my last supper
'Cause they're trying to spill my blood and break me for this bread
Motherfucker take all this lead, yeah, that's what I said
That's two down and two to go
But, then the others disappeared, yo
So, now we on the roll, finally made it back to the car
My homie thinking that we all good, but hold up, there they are
Bucking fast in the XLR
Goddamn what a mission, thought process, keys to ignition
Tryna ditch 'em, so now we in the whip speeding
Dodging bullets as we proceeding to my man Lenbo
These bammers try to play us like Nintendo, hell no
Hit him on the phone, let him know we wasn't alone
Coming through the zone, my homie picked up before the dial tone
"What up my man, what's good? Is everything okay?"
Hell nah, get your heater and be ready to spray
Pulled up to his crib and my man was ready to go, hah
Jumped in the back with a semi-automatic
Busting erratic, quite the lethal weapon addict, so we let 'em have it
Weaving in and out of traffic until we lost 'em
Whipping for a couple of minutes wishing we could've tossed 'em
So now I'm drivin, thanking God that I'm still surviving
Received the call from my man Boss, he was chilling and vibing
Said he was on the road, found out about a block away
So, I said "let's get up, I got a story that'll blow you away"
Couple minutes passed, met up at a red light
Called him on his celly, said "Let's hit the deli and grab a bite"
So now it's me, Lenbo and Castro inside of my car
Plus, my homie Boss trailing behind us, but not too far
Now we on the strip, everybody cool and legit
'Til I hear my man Castro yell out "Oh shit!"
Here come the motherfuckers again out the blue like a crip
They must've followed us, tryna take out the whole lot of us
Now they're busting at Boss, one blew his tire, made him crash
Now they're coming for ours, I hit the uey, while my man blast
Hit the passenger in the dome, now his brain's up on the dash
The driver stopped, tryna clean the blood up off the glass
Giving us just enough time to go and pick up Boss' ass
All together, started raining, I hate this weather
But it didn't matter, only thing on my mind is vendetta
'Cause now it's four-to-one, he scared as shit and we chasing son
Hit the highway, doing it up by a buck and some
Castro halfway out the sunroof firing
No fear, so, I guess that's what I do admire him
Ducking strays, 'til he caught one in his shoulder
Fell back, gushing blood, but my man a soldier
He hit the exit, now we whipping through the city
Contemplating, how the situations getting shitty
Now we out of ammo, so we sped up to the side of his ride
Intending to collide, hit him quick and watched the whip slide
My man Boss grabbed the gat from Lenbo, half out the window
Shot the gas tank, we watched the whole thing blow
Now we laughing headed to the hospital for Castro

Oh no, I guess popo got wind of the blow
'Cause like 15 cars came out of nowhere yo
And now they're on pursuit, didn't even hesitate to shoot
Murder weapon possession and a trunk full of loot
If we get caught it's either life or death so fuck 'em
Might as well go out blazing, we just might duck 'em
Hit a hard right, doing 120 through a warehouse
Hit the lights and the engine so they don't know our whereabouts
Just around the corner was a bridge out of the city
No cops in sight, me and my homies feeling giddy
My man Castro, was like "Fuck them coppers"
But, speak of the devil 'cause appeared two choppers
Their lights on us, calling out cars to our location
Mind racing, checked the rear-view
Saw every cop from the fucking station, their boat was coming
And the bridge was rising, you shoulda saw it
Told my boys to buckle up, because I'm 'bout to floor it
Everything was perfectly aligned and we was at a good speed
My homie Lenbo didn't hesitate to spark the good weed
Feeling like I'm home free halfway up the ramp
Escape is my goal, but, open fire hit the tire
Now we outta control, off of the bridge we go

Logic, yo Logic, yo, wake up man, Logic, yo, wake up, man, Logic, wake up, man
Wassup?
We're finally here, man
Oh
The studio, let's go
Oh, all right, all right
I just had the craziest fucking dream, dawg
