lyrics

Heat

This the scene, midnight hookers and fiends
Black asphalt sin city holding the dream
Pretty Kareem, dark skin legend I mean
Nickname black supreme pushed weight and held cream
On one, evening night colder than most
Martin luther king and fifth was his favorite post
Got approached slow motion rolled up on his spot
Throw up green skylark off white rag top
Instinct yells COP, Kareem showing his wheels
mid thirties living the real loving the thrill
hop a fence with skill style finess and stress
confidence like who won test the legend and best
40th and west buick shadow the run
Kareem quickening the pace thru alleys it’s fun
20 years on the run kids all over the hood
went from G th O.G. life is good
first shot ricochet thru wood adrenalin peak
tires scraping the concrete the block is heat


CHORUS:


He in the passenger seat his road dog taking the wheel
45 minutes after sniffing can’t feel
ready to kill tonight Kareem will stay still
17 year old cold sweating foreal
car peel to a stop, next faze foot race
20 yards closing quick energy thru space
bystanders saw a trace of the boy and man
same size body and glide the way that they ran
could have been fam
point aim
gun jam
no matter I’ma beat him with the might of my hands
hate in his glands Kareem never saw this one
his was facing himself in the form of his son
first blow was fun Kareem loving to scrap
but when he saw the mirror image his flow was off track
shank to the back combo to the ribs
next thought before he outted should of raised them kids
night enveloped the ground muffled the sound
tears flowing with the fists everytime they pound
rage and peace found in the very same place
Kareem died tonight with a smile on his face


CHORUS:
