Great Live Caper Songtext / Lyric

(feat. J-Live)






I ever tell you 'bout the time I had to solve this case

Some crab motherfuckers straight invading my space

It was approximately 8: 47 pm

I was on my way home coming back from the gym

My muscles kind of aching

They felt rigid and stiff

But my mind was at ease from this Coltrane riff

Playing loud at a shop right on Fulton and Troop

Till a Jeep drowned it out with Xzibit and Snoop

As I get closer to the heazy, baby,

Certain parts of my body started acting crazy

My ears got to twitching, and my right hand shook

I had a sudden need for speed, so I decided to book

As I arrived on my block to see a bunch of kids

Scoping out my building,

Noticing the door wide open

I jetted up the stairs, past signs of forced entry,

Expecting to see my humble abode stripped empty

Yo, hell no!



Yo, my trip from the front door

To the second floor

Had me feeling so alone, embarrassed, and insecure

My worldly possessions that I cherished and prized

Flashed in a matter of seconds before my eyes

But not photographic, more like alpha-numeric,

You know, VCR, TV, Laptop, Z3,

VS, MP, LP, CDs,

RL, P&B, N-I-K-E

Not to mention USA or RC3C

To open up in DC

For Run-DMC

It's gotta be a nightmare,

Somebody pinch me!

But up the stairs I see,

My 10-speed GT

Right where I left it, rather bizarre

Still felt violated; my apartment door was ajar

As I stormed in thinking it's about to be on,

The window was wide open... but nothing was gone!

As I dashed to the edge,

Held my head past the ledge

I seen two hooded figures flipping over a fence

They was way beyond capture, so I took a step back

So I could figure this shit out cause it was getting' intense

The computer was on, file cabinets wide open

Bookshelves was tipped over; they searched, but ain't steal

Wait a minute! This picture from my built-in safe

Was slightly tilted to the side, I was beginning to feel

The same tingling in my ears and hands

Everything else in the house was there, so work with me one time

But my instincts failed me not, the safe was blown wide-open,

They stolen my priceless book of rhymes!

Oh, hell no!



Ah, shit! I been hit! Elizabeth, this is the big one

Fuck it, these niggers got me pulling out my big guns

So be it! They want it, they got it, but can't have it

Dagnabit! The last thing I needed was static!

But I got a briefcase for just such an occasion

So I grabbed it,

Jetted downstairs,

Hailed a cab

I knew the shit was gonna happen,

I was getting too nice

From the briefcase I pulled out a homing device

Three times better than Lo-Jack

These MCs is so wack

And now they gotta resort

To stealing my text?!

As I fixed on their position

For my intercept mission,

The cabbie was feather-footed, it was getting me vexed

As we headed towards Jersey, the signal got stronger,

Even in the tunnel I was right on they tail

A green Volkswagon had the nerve to blast Braggin' [?]

A dead giveaway, now watch justice prevail

I told the cabbie, Get closer, but he had no heart

Next thing I know we was, like, five blocks apart

But they was headed for the airport, the getaway plane

Traffic was getting thick, so I got out and ran

Followed the signal all the way to this private hangar

These niggers want to rendezvous with a Learjet

I drove a luggage cart to block the runway, to no avail,

They pulled out just in time but I'm not done yet

Yo, watch this!



You think you're getting away, thieves? I know every rhyme in that

Book. You got five seconds to turn around. It's like that? Aight then!

If I can't have it, no one can! (Explosion)
