the highland street incident
Some guy said to some other guy behind closed doors I don't even know how long I've been awake anymore But I know what we're out of and you do too Look around we're down to nothing but me and you We sold everything we stole and everything we had It's not that bad though It's not that bad  We will be buying our shit back when your cousin gets out That's only going to be a couple weeks from now You know what I'm thinking cause you're thinking it too It was harder to imagine than it was to do In spite of all of your worry last night went okay That man just threw his money up and ran away  Did we get arrested? No we did not We didn't shoot anyone, we didn't get shot We didn't hurt anyone, at least not a lot And we got what we wanted We got what we wanted  You're right I could kill somebody, I don't care But that's not the way it's gonna go tonight I swear We'll just walk on up to Highland Street behind the bar In the back through the alley where they park the cars It will go down just as easy as it did last night We'll be back here in an hour hidin' out of sight  Did we get arrested? No we did not We didn't shoot anyone, we didn't get shot We didn't hurt anyone, at least not a lot And we got what we wanted  Hey stand right here behind me buddy this is the place Hold this blue bandanna up to cover your face Yes this is loaded but it's only for security I won't be shootin' anyone that isn't shootin' at me Shut up I think I hear somebody coming man Shut up I think shh  Run man run Run man run We'll get out of this together when your cousin gets out That is only gonna be a couple weeks from now Run man run
