Common - Payback Is a Grandmother lyrics

Yo i don't know what was
On y'all niggas' birds
To go up to the boat -
And start robbin' old folks
Now see you done messed with
The wrong old lady
You done went wild yo, check it

There was a Hardy Boy mystery
I tried to solve again
Dude that broke in my crib
- it wasn't involvin him
Four in the mornin, my phone ringin
I'm thinkin, "Who da fuck is this
" on the other line screamin
Told em, "Geek down
" but they was breathin hard
It was my grandmother tellin me
That she had been robbed
I told her hold tight, I'd be right over
Freezin but this situation made
The night colder
Knew this was the night that she played poker
With some friends in a club
At the boat gettin bub'
Said she seen these thugs on
The boat for a while
Not gamblin but every now
And then they'd smile
Then BLAOW! They up mags and told everybody
"Put your shit in the bag"
Made people strip naked
Quicker than a Luke record
Had the place took in a
Minute and some seconds
Asked her how many of it was em?
Said she couldn't remember
She was spooked and buzzin
Couldn't describe em
Cause it happened too fast said
They looked like me
With they pants hangin off they ass
Got her some water - and begin to think
How these niggas take her wig
Her bracelet and her mink?
Somebody round the crib know the deal
Whoever did it better have
Blue Shield for real
'Cause yo, it's the big payback

Later that day I went to the 'shop
To see what was up
Them niggas probably knew somethin plus
I needed a cut
Walked in they was playin Jigga
Discussin how Da Brat titties done got bigger
These niggas next to me
Was talkin bout the heist
Whoever did it even got Jordan for his ice
Said that it was done so precise
The cops ain't know nut-nin
Had to use all my might
Not to ask no questions
Put down the magazine
Went to the pop machine
Noticin these cats, had the Bling Bling
They wouldn't be talkin if they did
It it could be they team
A week ago neither one of
These niggas had a ring
This hype came in, sellin CD's said the BD's
Was braggin bout robbery they had done
By now, I'm thinkin bout my gun if I
See gramps bracelet
I'mma play racist and make niggas run
It's the big payback

My imagination roamed as I got in the chair
Thinkin - when shit went
Down, I wish I was there
Fuckin with fam' - who you are, I don't care
Have your guys pourin liquor witch'ya
Name in they swear
These chicks claim they was there
Knew the niggas who done it
Said it was Smoke and them
From the Wild 100's
Eight million stories got me runnin in place
It's gettin tricky
Like dude, that do drum'n'bass
There was a air in the place
That made me suspicious normally, they'd be
Talkin like bitches
My barber cut me with a quickness
Asked him where he got the new bracelet
He said it was his sister's - I knew then
What made it official, he gave me my change
The money clip had gramp's initials
As I, whooped his ass up
Six niggas masked up
Pulled up in a Cadillac truck

We have an arson, three-alarm fire
Murder in a possible homicide
The building is entitled
"The Ultimate Barbershop"
There are six unidentified bodies
In the building they are all presumed dead
I repeat they are all presumed dead
However there are no suspects
I repeat, the subjects are at large
We might need some backup
Inform O'Malley that we need backup, over
The skit definitely needs more
Siren added to it
Plus a new writer for the script, thank you
Someone get Prince Paul on the phone please
Thank you
