Al-One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open a the herb gate selling pure ganja
Babylon come but they undercover
They never really want me stop sell ganja
(They just wanna take a cut of what you make so far)
But I'm not having it, I load the SLR
Pack the ganja boom They break down the door
Pop-pop T'ree shots, exchanged at close range
Out of three Babylon, me hit one in the brain
Pop-pop Two shots hit the window pane
I exchanged four shots, I drop and feel pain
but I'm not hit, into the bathroom I crawl
I look out the window, it's a one story fall
I'm falling, hit the ground and start crawling
Soon I'm walking 'round, blending in with the crowd
Another day, I got away, I gotta fix this problem someday
But the very next day

Can't stop, won't stop selling mad izm
All competition I gots to get wit 'em
Me nah go jail and me nah go prison
(Take it to his face kid, dis him)
Can't stop, won't stop selling mad izm
All competition I gots to get wit 'em
Me nah go jail and me nah go prison
(Take it to his face kid, dis him)

I'm in another herb gate like a superstar
Eleven A.M., things are safe so far
I used to worry 'bout the competition on the block
But now the competition on the block is the cops
And even block watch doesn't know where we lay
Well ("Open up It's the D.E.A.")
Aww man, just when I went for more lead
The door opens up, I got a glock to my forehead
("Get down Get on the floor") I felt the stick, I thought I was dead
But I woke up instead in a cell laying on my bed
I lay back down, then I heard the crack sound
Two D.T.'s came in and laid they glocks down
One was whistling a love song, as he put some gloves on
I thought to myself, damn something's wrong
Boom bap Boom bap against my head
I fell back on the bed, down to his feet
The pain was insane but the hit was sweet
Cause these dumb-ass cops punched me right by the heat
The glock, two shots, three shots they screaming
Then someone said ("Hey wake up kid, you're dreaming")
I said, "Yo dreaming? That nightmare was hell"
But as I look around, I was still in my cell
Damn, I got myself caught up in a jam
The D.T. that woke me up was like, WHAT?
I wiped the saliva, off my mouth
The D.T. said.. ("Let's make a deal") No doubt
No question, now we started up the session
No need for guessing, yes they want my supplier
I said, what makes you think there's anyone higher?
He said.. ("Don't be a God damned liar")
You killed three D.T.'s yesterday, you heard me
But still the cops you knocked off yea was dirty
Now the whole investigation is federal
We want you to point out, the rest of the cops that are criminal
He continued to say, you can't think it through
This whole drug game is BIGGER than you
Follow our plan man and you'll be free
Let me explain one thing so you can see, we

Can't stop, won't stop selling mad izm
All competition I gots to get wit 'em
Me nah go jail and me nah go prison
(Take it to his face kid, dis him)
Can't stop, won't stop selling mad izm
All competition I gots to get wit 'em
Me nah go jail and me nah go prison
(Take it to his face kid, dis him)

Now I'm back in the herb gate, all wired up
Constantly thinking about being tied up
Snap out of it, I'm thinking, "Damn we like elves
The federal and local cops got wars with themselves
and I'm in the middle, and can't solve the riddle.
My nose is runny" ("Let me get a 20")
A 20 of the green or a 20 of the brown?
("Gimme the whole pound, clown, or duck down")
God damn, God damn, here we go again
But this time I'm set up by my federal friend
Suddenly I hear ("Yo, move from the door")
Followed by the shot sounded like a four-four
After the violence, then there was silence
Then I heard.. ("Hey yo it's us, open up the door")
But rule number one in this game is self-reliance
So I picked up the mini-mac in case they wanted more
The door opened up, the feds said what up?
They was sticking you up, so they had to get bucked
Suddenly a sense of trust came over me
I thought to myself, "Well soon I'll be free"




But as I turned around, I heard the gun go click
I said wait, but it was too late

Overall Meaning

The story begins with the singer selling pure ganja through a herb gate, but he is scared that the cops may come undercover and capture him. However, he continues to sell ganja and load his SLR, but soon he finds himself in trouble as his herb gate is raided by the cops. During the exchange of shots, he hits a cop and then has to drop to the ground and crawl to escape. He is saved by blending in with the crowd and soon, he is back to selling drugs, reassuring himself that he can't stop selling mad ism.


In the next part of the story, the singer finds himself in another herb gate, feeling safe so far. But everything changes when the competition on the block is now from the cops. The DEA knocks on the door and captures the singer. In jail, the singer wakes up to find out that he is part of a federal investigation, and he must cooperate with them to get free. They ask him to point out other criminal cops, and he agrees to their demands.

You killed three D.T.'s yesterday, you heard me
They accuse me of killing three detectives the previous day


But still the cops you knocked off yea was dirty
However, they acknowledge that the detectives were corrupt


Now the whole investigation is federal

We want you to point out, the rest of the cops that are criminal
They want me to provide information on other corrupt detectives

Follow our plan man and you'll be free
If I follow their plan, I'll be set free


Let me explain one thing so you can see, we
They want to explain something to me, so I can understand their position


Now I'm back in the herb gate, all wired up
Now, I'm back in the marijuana shop, feeling nervous and agitated

Snap out of it, I'm thinking, "Damn we like elves

God damn, God damn, here we go again

Suddenly I hear ("Yo, move from the door")
Suddenly, I hear someone telling me to move away from the door


Followed by the shot sounded like a four-four
Immediately after that, I hear a loud gun shot, possibly from a .44 caliber weapon


After the violence, then there was silence
After the shooting, it gets quiet


Then I heard.. ("Hey yo it's us, open up the door")
Then I hear someone saying it's safe to open the door


But rule number one in this game is self-reliance
I recall that in this line of work, it's crucial to rely on oneself


So I picked up the mini-mac in case they wanted more
So I grab a gun to protect myself in case the intruders want to rob me


The door opened up, the feds said what up?
The door opens, and the federal authorities greet me


They was sticking you up, so they had to get bucked
They explain that they were rescuing me from a robbery


Suddenly a sense of trust came over me
I start trusting the federal authorities


I thought to myself, "Well soon I'll be free"
I think to myself that I'll soon be released from jail


But as I turned around, I heard the gun go click
But as I turn around, I hear a gun click


I said wait, but it was too late
I try to react, but it's already too late
