Yo what s up ak

(Akil)
Who is this

(Zaakir)
Its me zaak--ir

(Akil)
Hello? what? (Hello?) I can't hear (I GOT IT! HANG UP!)
Yo speak louder I can't hear

(Zaakir)
(Yo Ak) Yo It's me Zaakir!
I was sitting at the television feeling disturbed
Hey yo, I just got the word, off Tigram and 83rd
Some cat that got clapped, (gangster rapper?)
Perhaps, But I was looking at the face of one particular cat
Now I done seen him before, (Can you remember where at?)
Well it was either at the liquor store or laundry mat
Or at a party and shit, ?or drive through of a quickie split?
But the fellas her ran wit, they no longer ex-- (yo, dude peep this)

(Akil)
Yo I know dude, I been knowing him all my life
Ever since I was young I used to see him shooting' dice
On occasion I would see him once or twice
With all types, many different walks of life
He tried to keep in touch, but i knew what was up
Every time he came around and showed his face I ducked
In the mid-eighties, the nigga went crazy
He had a lot of ladies selling they babies, the nigga was shady
But he had a lot of friends that he would visit on the weekends
Thrill seeking, influenced by his teachings
My daddy knew him, yo, he met him at a hotel
My homeboy Johnny, kicked it with him in a jail cell
A lot of people met him with a female
Doing real well, connected with the drug sales
The rich and the poor, for better or worse
The last and the first, walked the earth, but can't avoid his turf
And it hurts my brain, he's driving me insane
It's a shame I can't remember his name
I think 2na know dude, Soup, I ain t trying to be rude
But my wife just cooked, I m bout to grab up some food

(Zaakir)
Alight peace, 2na said he probably running the streets
I'm about to give these young brothers a beep
(ring ring)

(2na)
Yo! asalaam ulakum

(Zaakir)
Yo, ulakum asalaam

(2na)
Heyyo, what's up on 83rd man?

(Zaakir)
Man, the feuding is on
Hey, the reason why i called, that was the cat from my building
You seen him?

(2na)
Yeah we met that brother out in Pasadena
Remember seven, (?boomoringo?)
No my mistake, we were right between fair oaks and lake
Trying to take us a lunch break

(Marc7even)
And cop us a sess sack!

(2na)
But had to drive right past the place where they rest at

(7even)
We drove in a hatchback

(2na)
Corolla, these cats pack pistolas, the Cadillac they drove

(7even)
It was brown and black

(2na)
Patrolling the hood, looking for trouble
Saw us purchasing trees
Lurking with speed, pulled the strap, and was hurting to squeeze

(7even)
You ?jerk? and you bleed

(2na)
Threw it in reverse and we fleed

(7even)
Or should we say fled?

(2na)
They wanted to make us more than play dead, flashing his heat

(7even)
Two cars are moving fast on the street

(2na)
That's when I peeped, that dude was in his back passenger seat
(yo that shit was deep) Still I can't remember his name..

*this suckas going to get us killed*
*now come on man I feel like cutting loose*
