story...
[Verse 1]
back in the day, use to be this dude vinny on the block
in a tinted drop top on twenty-sumthin shocks
couple pennies n a remy on the rocks he offin anybodies enemy
he lettin off the semi for the quap
so the cops always watchin, police would hound him
its a matter of time so people keep from round him
deep down..vinny was selfish
stepped on anyone to better himself, anyone helpless
now everything is startin to get back to him
and he begins to see now, karma comin after him
naturally, bein the dude that he is,
he searchin for escape routes in this shit
"i aint through wit it yet.."
so he beginnin to plot now.. his heads spinnin,
he does not wanna end up dead or in prison and locked down
not now, but what the fuck can he do? (nuthin)
none of em'll stop until hes under their shoes
n thats when it first hit him
the perfect plan to free him of his past and the dirt wit it
[Hook]
Everybody reach a point they dont wanna move
and everybody got times where they wanna run
but theres things in this life that you gotta do
or it'll follow you, karma never folds when you runnin from an obstacle
[Verse 2]
see in the city where vinny lives, theres tommy and frank
a couple thugs the cops itchin to fingerprint
seein as innocence dont always save the innocent
vinny figures hes fine..the guilt hes cool livin wit
he did business wit tommy on the side
about a year ago or so, so tommy gotta die
cuz he aint riskin the chances. vinny hops in the whip, flips up the top, 'lets jus stick to the plan'
he gets to tommy's apartment, tommy lets him inside
vinny goes in says that business gettin hectic at times
but what tommy didnt know though, was vinny had a burner strapped
but he learned it fast soon as tommy turned his back
vinny clapped tommy then drove to the street
frankie lived, put the gun in a bush and phoned the police
he told them "i just seen a murder happen, i heard a blast
and when i turned back some cat grabbin a burner past me"
they showed vinny a line up, he picked number 7
testified against frank, and was put in witness protection

[Verse 3]
now its been two months, the plan succeeded this is too much

fuck you to everyone who chased him and wanted him dead
cuz he a gangsta, he faked everyone of them feds
and now he livin life like he use to
but as Joey Russo, a wife and a new crew
new future, new present and past shit
no more pills for his depression in the medicine cabinet
cuz lifes good..he just chillin on the front porch
sun settin, got his shorty and a blunt torched
but one forth of a mile up on the street
a jeep slows, Tony Rose grabs somethin under the seat
see the Russos and the Roses got this family beef
and Tony Rose heard a Russo in town..and now he planned to see
they kept the beef up under the cops radar
but Tony got to Joeys [Vinnys] and let the shots spray off
now vinny laid on his back
he heard "call 911" then everything faded to black..
