Flashback .. Fast Forward

Coast Was Clear .. I Hauled My Ass To Texas

flashback .. the previous weekend

bad news spread like wildfire

the strange, new guy .. Royce

who'd been riding my school bus

next seat over from me .. was thirty six years old

don't ask me how .. I just knew

something wasn't right .. he's odd

he was a transfer narc from another town

over the weekend he'd busted seventy two

of my hippie friends and close family

he was promoted to sergeant

head of the newly formed metro narc team

they'd went and kicked my friends doors down

the citywide sweep went on until late Sunday night

names started falling one by one .. snitching began

flashback .. all the while i'd seen it coming

i'd tried and tried to warn everyone to no avail

i'd covered my ring's tracks best as I could

still they all went down in hell burning flames 

I discovered they'd run needles with the narc star

fast forward .. first word I received

matched exactly what i'd seen coming

it was a long ago necessary reason

i'd to rent numerous vacant houses

to keep my generous stash safely hidden

Kilo had recently made bail

I knew i'd to question our trust

I could see in his straight .. sad eyes

he's still with me .. we're like brothers

so i'd sent him to move my smoke stash

I gave him sinsimilla .. five high grade pounds 

I knew they'd all be happy and i'd be relieved

not one of my close crew had sold me out

next seventy two hours .. I patiently waited

sold most of my stash to a local oil heiress

coast was clear .. I hauled my ass to texas
