Yeah yo yo yo yo yo yo

Yo a touch of jazz y'all yeah yeah

[unverified] y'all yo they got us on the run like

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 can't go right

(uh uh 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)

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 a while ago

(when?)

'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

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 can't go right and

(uh uh 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)

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 dammit i don't even got a glock yo

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 can't go right and

(uh uh 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)

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 her line was busy

(what happened?)

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 it hit me

(hit me hit me)

It hit me it hit me

(hit me)

2 minutes to sunrise

Oh baby now what are we gonna do?

(i don't know)

Pressure is mountin'
