The Door (To Omar Little)
do me a favor aight
when you go switch off the lights
close the door behind
you
pay attention to the lock it
makes a sound pay attention
do me this favor
you gotta do it cause
shadows everywhere
voices everywhere
enemies everywhere
ain't no fun though as
gang colors in the nineties
tag watts
tag berlin
tag harlem
shadows everywhere
voices everywhere
enemies everywhere
for twentyseven years
do me a favor aight?
i've been looking for a brother
i'veΒ Β been looking for a mother
nobody knows about it
they don't know and they
don't have to
when they interrogate you
about last night
when they ask tell em:
i was asleep at night
as civilians do
no talk about turf
no talk about extortion
no talk about capital crimes
private matters
wat matter is you
lock the door baby
