Lucky's Theme Song
8Ball Lyrics

Come home tired from a long trip
I arrived home exhausted after a lengthy journey

My feet hurt cuz a nigga pullin' double shifts
My feet ached because I had been working two jobs

Rice and peas, that's some brown stool chicken cookin'
I had a meal of rice, peas and chicken

Eat a plate, smoke a blunt and fuck a little pussy
After dinner, I smoked marijuana and had sex with my partner

Fell asleep on the floor in my girl's arms
I dozed off on the ground while being embraced by my girlfriend

In my dreams dogs barkin' at the house alarm
I dreamt about dogs barking at the house alarm

Get louder, hold up this shit for real
The noise escalated, making me realize that something was happening for real

I wake up lookin' for my pistol then I see my girl
After waking up, I searched for my gun, but then I saw my girlfriend

Not here as I run into the livin' room
As I ran into the living room, my girlfriend was not around

But I was too late, she was on her knees on the floor
Unfortunately, I arrived too late to see my girlfriend already kneeling on the floor

Banger to her head, them niggas told me not to move
My girlfriend had a gun pointed at her head, and the attackers ordered me not to move

I'm still neck in with no weapon, what was I to do?
I was in a difficult situation without a weapon and unsure of what to do

One nigga grabbed my girl and took her to the bedroom
One attacker grabbed my girlfriend and took her to the bedroom

The other nigga told me y'all gon be dead soon
Another attacker warned me that we would all be killed soon

If you don't tell me where the cash and the work at
I was threatened to reveal the location of the cash and drugs

I told him in the garage, in that ole white ‘Vette
I revealed the location of the cash and drugs, which was in my old white Corvette in the garage

Here I am, lying naked by the front door
After the incident, I found myself lying naked by the front door

Hands and feet ducktaped cuz I was moving slow
The attackers restrained me with duct tape because I was moving too slowly

Helpless, wasn't nothing I could do
I felt completely powerless and unable to do anything

And I could hear my girl screamin' from the bedroom
I could hear my girlfriend screaming from the bedroom

I told myself I wasn't gonna die tonight
I made a promise to myself that I would not die that night

Even though that's what the shit was looking like
Although it seemed like I might not survive

This nigga that I'm doin' business with
I was in business with someone who was causing me problems

He got a short pack and now he think I'm with the shit
He received an unsatisfactory delivery and believed I was responsible

That's why these niggas runnin' through my crib
That's why these attackers broke into my house

I guess I'm witnessin' you really get it how you live
I realized that I was witnessing the consequences of my lifestyle

Now they lookin' for my car keys
The attackers searched for my car keys

Now I'm feelin' like I can't breathe
I felt suffocated by the situation

They put the loot inside my girl car
The attackers hid the stolen goods in my girlfriend's car

That's when the bullshit got started
That's when things really started to escalate

Man, this fuckin' shit we live ain't got no rules
I realized that our way of life had no rules and was unpredictable

I heard the garage door as it came down
I heard the sound of the garage door closing

My girl, she quiet now, not makin' a sound
My girlfriend was now silent, not making any noise

I'm tryin' to listen and make sure that them niggas gone
I attempted to listen and confirm that the attackers had left

I can't believe this shit happened right off in my home
I was in disbelief that this had happened in my own home

My girl appeared in the hallway still shakin'
My girlfriend came out of the bedroom, still trembling with fear

Stumbled over to me on the floor still naked
She stumbled over to me, while I was still lying naked on the floor

Cut the tape off, I ran and put some shorts on
We removed the duct tape and I quickly put on some shorts

Looked in the garage, both of our cars gone
Upon investigation, we discovered that both of our cars were stolen

Fuck, 911 ain't the number to call
Calling 911 seemed pointless in this situation

I know who done it I don't gotta involve the laws
I knew who was responsible and did not need to involve the police

That's what happens when you play with other niggas bread
This was the result of getting involved with someone else's money

Thank God cuz we both could've been dead
I was grateful because both my girlfriend and I could have been killed

After that I never touched another brick at work
I decided to stop getting involved with drug dealing after this experience

Took it as a sign cuz it could've been worse
I saw this incident as a sign and reminder that things could have been even worse

Heart still beat fast when I think about it
I still get anxious when I think about what happened

My girl still wake up having bad dreams about it
My girlfriend still has nightmares about the attack

Still here to talk about it, that's the main thing
The fact that I survived and can talk about it is the most important thing

A little game forward, ‘nother nigga in the game
I learned from this experience and continued to navigate the risky drug trade world

More who love the story do it wrong, get it wrong
Many people romanticize these kinds of stories and fail to understand the serious dangers of drug trafficking
