[Common]
Yeah yo yo yo yo yo yo
Yo a touch of jazz y'all yeah yeah

?? y'all yo they got us on the run like

[Jill Scott]
8 minutes
to sunrise
Oh baby now what are we gonna do? (I don't know..)
Pressure
is mountin
Oh baby now how we gonna get through? (I don't know)
Can't go
left (uh uh) can't go right (uh uh)
Don't know how we made it through the
night (c'mon c'mon c'mon)
7 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby now, what are we
gonna do? (Do it, do it..)

[Common]
It was once said by Black
Thought that +Things Fall Apart+
Knew I shouldn't have been messin with
dude's girl from start
But I pimp from the heart, the art of it made it
interestin
Plus me and sister blend before we got intimate
Friend or no
friend, my man caught wind
This chick is payin me, it'll either cost me or
cost him
Told her she shoulda lost him (when?) a while ago
Cause dude'll
drink a pile of Mo' and defile her yo
I ain't here to start on this [nigga]
for me to wreck his broad
you could tell what I thought of this [nigga]

Nickname was Smoke, don't know if that was cause of cigarettes
(or
what?) or guns he tote, he called shots on the deck
so I wasn't tryin to
call his bluff, by his persona
you could see, he think he tough!
If that
wasn't enough, old girl had his son
This is Wild like the West I'm like
Jesse on the run, uhh

[Jill Scott]
6 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby
now, what are we gonna do? (I, don't, know)
Pressure is mountin
Oh baby
now, how we gon' get through? (I, don't, know)
Can't go left and (uh-uh)
can't go right and (uh-uh)
Don't know, how we made it through the night (yo,
we got..)
5 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (Do
it, do it..)

[Common]
I understand that time is runnin out, I'm
thinkin of town-skippin
Got a Chevy but the alternator be trippin
I'm
hittin rum straight, thinkin of a route to truncate
The streets is watchin,
out is one way I put myself in his Nike's
His position is, "Aight man,
somebody bonin my lady"
Probably snap like Rod-man
My plan was to meet
at this bar called the Tiki (when?)
'round four, when she was comin she
would beep me
I sat deep in the corner, drinkin zombies, becomin one by now

Wonderin if my style would support her and her child
Out the corner of
my eye saw this stud I recognized (who?)
One of Smoke's guys, to stay out of
sight I tried
Told Jill Scott to meet we coulda picked a better spot
On
some "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" [shit] like Deborah Cox
Looked at my
watch, [shit] I don't even got a watch
Felt for my glock, damnit I don't
even got a glock, yo

[Jill Scott]
4 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby
now, what are we gonna do? (I don't know..)
Pressure is mountin
Oh baby
now, how we gon' get through? (I, don't, know)
Can't go left and (uh-uh)
can't go right and (uh-uh)
Don't know, how we made it through the night
(c'mon c'mon)
3 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do?
(Do it, do it..)

[Common]
Pressure puh-pressure what? The pressure's
cookin
It ain't good lookin, like a black promoter I'm talkin bookin
Not
that I'm spooked of dude, I could whup him
But he was on the horn informin
the rest of them hoodlums (aight)
Usually I wouldn't fight over a woman, old
girl had a sun-shine
was messed up, on Smoke's payroll was one-time
My
pager went off, it read one line: "Come get me
from Halsted," I'm thinkin
this is monkey bar [shit]
Went to the phone quick, called her (what
happened?) Her line was busy
Situation number nine, got my mind dizzy

Wondered if this plan was designed to get me
I've been drinkin too
strong to be thinkin too long
Like 40 goin North I'm doin 50, headed for the
spot
Askin God to be with me, and lately
she has been actin shifty --
(but what?)
But then it hit me (hit me) it hit me (hit me)
It hit me
(hit me) it hit me

[Jill Scott]
2 minutes to sunrise
Oh baby
now, what are we gonna do? (I don't know..)
Pressure is mountin
Oh baby
now, how we gonna get through? (Yo -- I said I, don't, know)
Can't go left
and (uh-uh) can't go right and (nope)
Don't know, how we made it through the
night (yo, we got)
1 minute to sunrise
Oh baby now, what are we gonna
do? (one-one, one.. ha?)
1 minute.. (we got, we got) one, one
1 minute..
(ahh shit, we got) one, one
1 minute.. (what we got girl?) one, one
1
minute.. (baby, Com Sense on the run) now, now
1 minute.. (Com Sense on the
run) one..
1 minute.. (just got on the run, just got on the run)
(Com
Sense on the run, Com Sense on the run)
(just got on the run, just got on
the run)
(they got us on the run like.. they got us on the run)
(they
got us on the.. yo, they got us on the run)
(uhh, yo, they got us on the
run)
(they got us on the.. yo, they got us on the run)
and we out..)
