hide and seek
A.E.O.S. Presents Lyrics

I'm in some deep shit, I got some niggas from another click
E-40 is in trouble because some guys from another gang are after him

On that ass trying to run me off a fuckin cliff
The guys are chasing E-40 and trying to kill him

What should I do? Where should go?
E-40 is unsure of what to do or where to go for safety

How could I fake 'em?
E-40 is thinking of ways to trick the guys chasing him

Bust a bitch on that ass and try and shake em and bake em
E-40 is considering taking evasive action to lose the guys chasing him

Full speed ahead, I know they want my ass dead
E-40 is trying to escape the guys chasing him as quickly as possible

Still on my bumper, makes a motherfucker wonder
E-40 is being pursued relentlessly, which makes him question why he is being targeted

All the dirt that I did, should just let them get me
E-40 is considering giving up because he has done something wrong in the past and thinks he deserves punishment

Maybe its because I killed Rodney and his whole family
E-40 is confessing to a past act of violence and thinks that is why he is being targeted by the other gang

Revenge, I see my life flashing, niggas blasting
The other gang is trying to exact revenge on E-40 and he is scared for his life

Brothas passing, trying to make me stay crashing
The other gang is trying to cause E-40 to have an accident and harm himself

Into the rocks beside me, fucking up the traffic
E-40 is trying to escape the other gang and has driven off the road, causing a traffic disturbance

17th in a Malibu Chevy classic
E-40 is driving a Malibu Chevy Classic at the time of pursuit

But I'm nothing humble, just call me Yapeez Pasano
E-40 is introducing himself by his gang name, Yapeez Pasano

Full tank of petro, mobbin through the fucking tunnel
E-40 is driving through a tunnel with a full tank of gas

Shit it's bright, I think I see some daylight
E-40 sees light at the end of the tunnel and thinks he has escaped the other gang

Over the night, you should have seen a brothas sides right
E-40 has been in a high-speed chase and his vehicle is damaged

Fit the corners on two shoes, I'm holly G
E-40 is running away from the other gang on foot

Wrapping my shit around a fifty foot oak tree
E-40 is hiding behind a large oak tree to evade the other gang

Got out the car, seeing stars, I wasn't lagging
E-40 has left his car and is disoriented and injured from the chase

Ran out and hid behind a beat up station wagon
E-40 is hiding behind an old, rundown car to avoid being seen

You've never seen a bitch nigga run so fast
E-40 is running for his life and is extremely scared

Bouncing, sneaking, and peaking, hitting bushes and shit
E-40 is moving quickly and cautiously, trying to avoid being seen by the other gang

Never saw, like you did in that movie clip
E-40's experience feels like something out of a movie because of how intense and dramatic it is

Steady busting, these motherfuckers ain't bluffing
The other gang is shooting at E-40, showing that they are serious about harming him

I'm hauling ass and renting bullets, constantly cussing
E-40 is running fast and is being shot at, causing him to swear and curse loudly

Scared as fuck, I wasn't trying to act hard
E-40 is terrified and is not pretending to be brave or courageous

Thumbs up, and ran in a back yard
E-40 sees a backyard and runs towards it for cover

Just as I was hoping the sliding door was wide open
E-40 is relieved to see the sliding door open, hopefully allowing him to find safety inside

Out of breath, I locked the door and started talking
E-40 is exhausted and out of breath but begins speaking to the people inside the house

I need some help, I gotta bounce, someone's after me
E-40 asks for help and explains that he is being chased by the other gang

Please don't panic, I need your help drastically
E-40 requests assistance urgently but tries to keep the people calm

I'm not a G, a killer, or a rapist
E-40 claims he is not a gangster, murderer, or rapist, but rather an ordinary person

I'm just a ordinary black man trying to make this
E-40 explains that he is just an average person trying to live his life and survive

Busting my bubble, the couple didn't even freak
E-40 is surprised that the people he sought help from are not panicking or reacting strongly

They said relax, I'll make some coffee, have a seat
The people inside the house offer E-40 some comfort and try to calm him down

The man said, what's your name bro
One of the people asks E-40's name

Shit I don't know, you might decide to call the po-po
E-40 is unsure if he should reveal his name in case the people turn him in to the police

He said that ain't my thang, I used to be a leader of a gang
The man who asked for E-40's name is a former gang leader himself

Shot twice in my chest
The former gang leader was shot twice in the chest at some point in his life

I got wounds, where I've been stabbed
The former gang leader shows E-40 his old injuries from being stabbed

He took off his shirt and showed my his scab
The former gang leader shows E-40 his healing wound

I said damn partner, how the fuck you survive some shit like that
E-40 is impressed and curious about how the former gang leader survived being shot and stabbed so many times

Like that there without going into a coma
E-40 is surprised that the former gang leader did not go into a coma from his injuries

He said the Lord spared my life
The former gang leader credits God for sparing his life through his many injuries

So I could talk to people like you and teach them right
The former gang leader believes that his survival through his injuries was meant to be so that he could help people like E-40

I was a dope pusher, big time drug abuser
The former gang leader reveals he used to sell drugs and was a drug addict himself

Alcoholic, dog blumer, but a shooter
The former gang leader was also an alcoholic and a violent person

All together working from the floor
The former gang leader is referencing his past experiences of being on the ground during gang violence

I said I better twist so I can call her
E-40 decides to contact a female friend he knows for help

Now I'm reached from coast to coast
E-40 has become famous and successful as a rapper all across the country

Said to saved from the holy ghost
E-40 has also become religious and believes he has been saved spiritually

I know you think your trapping
E-40 has a message for people who think they are living a dangerous lifestyle like he used to

But let me pray for you junior and see what happens
E-40 believes that prayer and faith can help people escape dangerous situations like the one he was in
