flashback .. being free
left me a pondering loner
no more of my cool friends
or closed lip customers
kin .. at a distance
I knew to run
yet i'd to see it through
where all the cards fell
if anyone would receive time
God dammit I cared for my crew
my nosy neighbor cop
confidently approached me
related he knew everything
went so far as to demand
that i'm the mastermind
informed me the chase is on
they're going to be hard after me
someone will certainly talk
he made all sorts of demands
I smirked .. catch me if you can
my little brother .. Winnie Rodriguez
stopped by to relate
the very same cop
promised to pay him cash
if he'd just turn on me
I found myself a bit concerned
but not for very long
my brother .. my blood
assured me he'd go down
refusing payment .. not saying a word
my truck brokedown at work
stuck my thumb out .. hitched a ride
while I was being dropped out
at the local brick building pool hall
the same cop crawled on the street
he jumped up .. from behind parked cars
snatched my arm through my open window
stated loudly .. im under arrest
for simple possession of marijuana
though i'd none on my person
