Armed Robbery
8Ball & MJG Lyrics

Now I was clicking out my barrel just to see if it was loaded
I was checking my gun to ensure that it was loaded and ready to fire

checking out it's bullets just to make sure it won't explode this
Inspecting the bullets to ensure they won't cause the gun to malfunction or explode

hand around of the handle of my snub no skill
Holding onto the handle of my small, concealed firearm without any hesitation or fear

I must be for real in the procedure for a kill
I am fully committed and serious about carrying out a violent act

stood around the corner while I cased out the bank
Waiting discreetly around the corner while observing and planning a robbery at the bank

busted in the door and stuck the guard wit' a shank
Forcefully entered through the door and attacked the security guard with a homemade weapon

ran up to the counter pull the gun out wit' the quickness
Rushed towards the bank counter and swiftly revealed my firearm

shot the bank teller so it wouldn't be a witness
Shot the bank teller to prevent them from being able to identify me

fled out the door with the money in my left hand
Quickly escaped through the door, clutching the stolen money in my left hand

still in my right hand running like a wild man
Continued to hold the gun in my right hand as I ran frantically

ran to the hide-a-way knowing they was after me
Proceeded to a secret hiding place, fully aware that law enforcement was pursuing me

burned out my id stole a jeep Cherokee
Destroyed or discarded my identification and stole a Jeep Cherokee as a getaway vehicle

couldn't be late for my trip to Jamaica
Needed to ensure I arrived on time for my planned escape to Jamaica

heading to the river skeeming up on how to take a
Traveling towards the river while devising a plan on how to steal a boat

boat from a victim, rush right up and stick him
Stealing a boat from its owner by swiftly approaching and threatening them

with a sharp object making sure that I get him
Using a sharp weapon to ensure the victim cooperates and I successfully take the boat

put it to the river, see, nervous as a lunatic
Launching the stolen boat into the river while feeling extremely anxious

jumped out of the veichle as borrowed me a boat quick
Rapidly exiting the vehicle and swiftly commandeering a nearby boat

jumped on with the gun, soughter on the break and run
Boarded the boat while carrying the gun, ready to accelerate and escape

shot with the gat, in the back, like in Vietnam
Fired the gun, targeting and hitting someone in the back, reminiscent of the chaos of war

quickly making waves in the river as I ran fast
Speeding through the river with the stolen boat, causing noticeable waves as I hurried

got a mile in the boat ran out of gas
Traveled a mile in the boat but unfortunately ran out of fuel

oh no Joe! the cops can't get me...
Expressing relief and confidence that law enforcement will not apprehend me

I'll never be wanted for armed robbery
Asserting that I will avoid being identified or pursued for the crime of armed robbery

On the other side of town
In a different location away from the previous events

moving quickly rolling swiftly in da hoopty ride
Traveling rapidly in a beat-up, old car

loading up the nine cause there just my be a homicide
Loading a semi-automatic pistol as a precaution, anticipating the possibility of a deadly encounter

MJG know the plan so the shit is on
MJG is aware of the plan, indicating that everything is set and ready to proceed

by the time 5-0 come we'll be through and gone
Ensuring that we will have completed our activities and left the scene before the police arrive

got to the area, stop then took a glance
Arrived at the intended location, paused momentarily, and surveyed the surroundings

puttin' on the ski mask, stuffing the gat in my pants
Putting on a ski mask to conceal my identity and hiding the firearm in my pants

where I saw the right on time, now it's time for the crime
Identifying the target at the perfect moment, signaling that it is time to commit the crime

do the crime waste no time then I'm going to get mine
Performing the criminal act without delay and ensuring that I obtain my share of the proceeds

waited for the door to open shot the first trick I saw
Waiting for the door to open, then shooting the first person I encountered without hesitation

then shot the other fool I ain't thinking 'bout no law
Proceeding to shoot another person without any concern for legal consequences

jumped in the truck put the pedal to the medal
Quickly getting into the truck and speeding away at full throttle

then fired up a square man doing about 1-10
Started smoking a cigarette while driving at approximately 110 miles per hour

looking in my rear-view 5-0 everywhere
Constantly checking my rear-view mirror as I notice the presence of law enforcement

messing up my plans with them helicopters in the air
Disrupting my plans by implementing helicopter surveillance, making it harder to escape

headed for the airport, wait I see a road block
Directing myself towards the airport but encountering an obstacle in the form of a road block

hit the gas even harder fool I ain't gonna stop
Increasing my speed even more, refusing to halt or surrender to authorities

crash through the road block they ain't gonna get me yet
Smashing through the road block, confident that law enforcement will not capture me at this moment

J-Smooth waiting at the airport with a private jet
J-Smooth, a companion, is waiting at the airport with a private jet for our escape

jumped out of the truck with fast P's right behind my ass
Abruptly leaving the truck, with police officers closely pursuing behind me

running trying to shoot my nine holding bags full of cash
Running while attempting to shoot at the pursuing officers, all while carrying bags filled with stolen money

jumped on the jet now we set to hit the runway
Boarding the private jet, signaling that we are ready to depart from the runway

took to the air yea I got away scott-free
Successfully taking off into the sky, escaping without any repercussions or consequences

fired up a Mac j P's didn't catch me
Proceeded to smoke a brand of cigarettes called Mac J's, confident that the police did not apprehend me

countin all my money from a strong armed robbery...
Taking the time to count all the stolen money obtained from a forceful and violent robbery

You thank it's over but it ain't
Implying that the situation is not yet concluded, despite what one may believe

cause I can't get caught by authority
Expressing determination and resolve to evade capture by law enforcement

the camera at the bank got me ganked so they know it's me
Realizing that the security cameras at the bank have captured evidence of my identity and involvement in the crime

reached for artillery, put the shank in my mouth
Retrieved a weapon, specifically a homemade shank, and placed it in my mouth to conceal it

dove off the boat to the river and I bailed out
Jumped off the stolen boat and into the river, abandoning it as an escape method

swam like a fish greeted land with a kiss
Swam swiftly, comparing my agility to that of a fish, and finally reached land with a sense of relief

did I hit or did I miss well it goes like this
Reflecting on whether my actions were successful or not, pondering the outcomes

I put the money in the spot
Securing the stolen money in a designated hiding place

took the clothes that I got
Collecting and changing into the clothes I acquired during the criminal act

tied them up in the bag same place I put the mask
Compacting and securing the clothes in a bag, in the same location where I concealed the mask

changed clothes in between spots
Switching outfits at different locations to avoid being recognized or identified

hands, spot-see
Being cautious and observant, always aware of my surroundings

the designated area we call spot-be
Referring to a specific location we refer to as 'spot-be,' likely a predetermined meeting or hiding spot

see I can't be broke so I come up with a plan
Recognizing that being financially unstable is not an option, leading me to devise a plan

the man, money soon in they hand
Referring to myself as 'the man,' indicating that I will soon possess the money through my actions

get over get up and jet
Overcoming obstacles, getting back on my feet, and swiftly making my escape

bounce the set
Leaving the area swiftly and abruptly

the longer you stay the quicker you get arrested
Advising that remaining in a particular location increases the likelihood of getting apprehended by law enforcement

MJG testing his strategy..
MJG examining and evaluating his plan of action

wit' a slick armed robbery
Utilizing a well-executed, cunning, and violent robbery to achieve our goals

Flying through the air on my way to Jamaica
Traveling through the sky on an airplane en route to Jamaica

thinking about why I took the money for the faka
Contemplating the reasons behind my decision to steal the money and its consequences

me living poor and wishing to be richer
Existing in poverty and desiring to have greater wealth and prosperity

and me like Picasso I had to paint a picture
Referring to myself as an artist like Picasso, suggesting that I meticulously planned and executed the robbery as if it were a work of art

of people dying rapidly, trying to imprison me
Describing a scenario of individuals dying quickly while attempting to capture or imprison me

just because I took a little money in a robbery
Highlighting the disproportionate and extreme consequences faced for stealing a relatively small amount of money

landed in Jamaica chilling with the dreads
Arrived in Jamaica and relaxed in the company of Rastafarians, known for their distinctive dreadlocks

smoking on the gunja messing with my head
Smoking cannabis, commonly known as 'gunja,' which altered my mental state

the feds came behind me hit me with a billy club
Law enforcement agents approached me from behind and struck me with a baton

I fell to the ground, turned around pumping slugs
Due to the forceful blow, I collapsed to the ground but retaliated by firing multiple gunshots

jumped up quick, ditched the gun as I ran away
Swiftly stood up, abandoned the firearm, and hurriedly escaped from the scene

ran to the hills where I hid for a few days
Fled to the mountains and remained concealed for a period of time

no, I'm not the one that they will catch soon
Asserting that I am not the person who will be apprehended by law enforcement in the near future

bought me a palace in the hills wit' a hundred rooms
Using the stolen money to purchase an extravagant mansion in the mountains, boasting numerous rooms

I got the money, got the women, got the be-you-D
Expressing possession of wealth, companionship with women, and enjoying life to the fullest

I plead guilty to armed robbery!
Confessing to the crime of armed robbery
