8 minutes to sunrise 
Oh baby now, what are we
gonna do? (I don't know..) 
Pressure is mountin 
Oh baby now, how we
gonna get through? (I, don't, know) 
Can't go left (uh-uh) can't go right
(uh-uh) 
Don't know, how we made it through the night (c'mon c'mon c'mon)

7 minutes to sunrise 
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (Do it, do
it..)

It was once said by Black Thought that Things Fall
Apart+
Knew I shouldn't have been messin with dude's girl from start 
But
I pimp from the heart, the art of it made it interestin 
Plus me and sister
blend before we got intimate 
Friend or no friend, my man caught wind

This chick is payin me, it'll either cost me or cost him 
Told her she
shoulda lost him (when?) a while ago 
Cause dude'll drink a pile of Mo' and
defile her yo 
I ain't here to start on this [nigga] for me to wreck his
broad 
you could tell what I thought of this [nigga] 
Nickname was Smoke,
don't know if that was cause of cigarettes 
(or what?) or guns he tote, he
called shots on the deck 
so I wasn't tryin to call his bluff, by his
persona 
you could see, he think he tough! 
If that wasn't enough, old
girl had his son 
This is Wild like the West I'm like Jesse on the run, uhh


[Jill Scott] 
6 minutes to sunrise 
Oh baby now, what are we
gonna do? (I, don't, know) 
Pressure is mountin 
Oh baby now, how we gon'
get through? (I, don't, know) 
Can't go left and (uh-uh) can't go right and
(uh-uh) 
Don't know, how we made it through the night (yo, we got..) 
5
minutes to sunrise 
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (Do it, do it..)

[Common] 
I understand that time is runnin out, I'm thinkin of
town-skippin 
Got a Chevy but the alternator be trippin 
I'm hittin rum
straight, thinkin of a route to truncate 
The streets is watchin, out is one
way I put myself in his Nike's 
His position is, "Aight man, somebody
bonin my lady" 
Probably snap like Rod-man 
My plan was to meet at
this bar called the Tiki (when?) 
'round four, when she was comin she would
beep me 
I sat deep in the corner, drinkin zombies, becomin one by now

Wonderin if my style would support her and her child 
Out the corner of
my eye saw this stud I recognized (who?) 
One of Smoke's guys, to stay out
of sight I tried 
Told Jill Scott to meet we coulda picked a better spot

On some "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" [shit] like Deborah Cox

Looked at my watch, [shit] I don't even got a watch 
Felt for my glock,
damnit I don't even got a glock, yo 

[Jill Scott] 
4 minutes to
sunrise 
Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I don't know..) 
Pressure is
mountin 
Oh baby now, how we gon' get through? (I, don't, know) 
Can't go
left and (uh-uh) can't go right and (uh-uh) 
Don't know, how we made it
through the night (c'mon c'mon) 
3 minutes to sunrise 
Oh baby now, what
are we gonna do? (Do it, do it..) 

[Common] 
Pressure puh-pressure
what? The pressure's cookin 
It ain't good lookin, like a black promoter I'm
talkin bookin 
Not that I'm spooked of dude, I could whup him 
But he was
on the horn informin the rest of them hoodlums (aight) 
Usually I wouldn't
fight over a woman, old girl had a sun-shine 
was messed up, on Smoke's
payroll was one-time 
My pager went off, it read one line: "Come get me

from Halsted," I'm thinkin this is monkey bar [shit] 
Went to the
phone quick, called her (what happened?) Her line was busy 
Situation number
nine, got my mind dizzy 
Wondered if this plan was designed to get me

I've been drinkin too strong to be thinkin too long 
Like 40 goin North
I'm doin 50, headed for the spot 
Askin God to be with me, and lately

she has been actin shifty -- (but what?) 
But then it hit me (hit me) it
hit me (hit me) 
It hit me (hit me) it hit me

Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I don't know..)

Pressure is mountin 
Oh baby now, how we gonna get through? (Yo -- I
