All night watchin me was the housing authority, task, and OPD
It′s rainin it's pourin, do it 2-4 no snorin
Posted on the spot with the Glock cuz we warrin
I′m soarin to the top of the deck
Ace in the hole on the grind gigity grind no time fo chasin hoes
Dope fiends love me, come to the spot pushin a buggy filled with kids
"Who got that cola man can you plug me?"
I'm not gun proof some nigga out the sunroof bustin caps
I'm strikin to the bushes but didn′t quite make it
They thought it, breakin and takin my shit without my grip I′m naked
I hate it, got smacked across the face wit a sawed off
They roped me up choked me up now I'm hauled off
Wit pumpkin head locked in the trunk

Numskull my nigga they bout to have yukmouth fuck a bitch wit AIDS
Oh shiet I grab the vest, the 38, the 44, a 45, mac 10, and ak-47

Cuz now it′s strictly funnin and gunnin see
You kiznapped my patna yiznukmouth and want some gizneez from me
But no way in the world a would you get that
Numskull got the giznat, I want my patna biznack
We hopped into the 4 door 400 floor shift
I gotta have the posi with a chip jus incase we slip
And be outty on that asshole, fuck the po-po
I'm thinkin bout my patna wit the 911 code
I′m commin thru yo back door, I feelin no sympathy

Dru, don't pay these fools cuz they might slip
But hurry up before they squeeze my nuts wit vice grips
They wanna have my ass hauled off
Up to' my heads a sawed of
And that bitch wit AIDS is takin her drawers off
Call all the straps because they fuedin for the bundle
One′s trying to swundle
What fo we shit no mumbo jumbo
The dumb ho was trippin so I might not have to dick the cock
Cuz the clique suppose break her off the 50 rock
And she knows that I know that you know
It′s like a big ass drought in the O, so fuck that ho
They really tryin ta pump fear and shit
Got that bitch lookin like Ethiopian of the year and shit
I straight escaped cuz they straight got funk
I'm in the front drawing down on each other wit mosberg pumps
I socked the bitch then tied her up, they left the Glock in here
Can′t do shit wit it cuz they left a nigga locked in here
(Dru) jump out the window
(Yukmouth)
Man if I do it's my doom, I′m at the tribune
12 stories up in a vacant room
So what the fuck is up, they commin up wit some more niggas
I'm at the door about to go trigga
Happy, my nigga back me
On the quick fast in a hurry like snappy before they cap me
Don′t trip cuz I got 4 clips and a grenade
But bring some more shit because they might be hard to fade
(Dru) Neva, I'm comin for yo ass wit the triggas
I'd neva leave ya hangin on the crucifix my nigga
(Yuk) ay ay ay I gotta go man
(Dru Down)
Ay hold on man, God damn
It seems that people always wanna test my real folks
And end up getting smiznoked
I′m finally startin to get sick like Jason
No patience, I needa save my folks he′s in the waitin
Probably spooked on the roof with no parachute
He's willin to jump off the top of the tribune
But no need fo that we commin up elevator strapped bazooka on my back
I′m lyin on the floor prepared for caps
Dru Down, the elevator opens I'm so high
We′re lightin up the place like the 4th of july
I yelled Yuk where ya at Yuk where ya at
He came runnin wit the gat and said them niggas dead in the back
I said where da ho go niggaroe
He said I killed the bitch first for tryin to jump on my bone BITCH
And everything is alright
I know your nervous so let me put bud in a pipe right
And lets get into some more shit, some deep shit
Lets burn the dead niggas and the dead bitch
Cuz I could give a fuck less to what happens now
I'm ready to burn the whole muthafuckin buildin down
But I′m not goin out I'm jettin from the murda scene
So yuk either grab the zooka or the m-16
Because my arms is getting tired from weight
I wanna get back to the spot and smoke some dank
Check it out we hopped into the big block chevy
And if somebody ran up oh we was ready
But for a souvenir I cut off tongues
Ridin off safe on the freeway to some hoes house that's sprung
The song "911" by the Luniz is a vivid depiction of life on the streets from the perspective of young black men in Oakland, California. The lyrics portray the constant danger and violence that surrounds them, and their willingness to use guns and violence to protect themselves and their communities. The chorus, "get the phone man, get the door man, I'm getting some head," adds an ironic and darkly humorous twist to the otherwise serious and intense lyrics.
The first verse paints a picture of a rainy night, with the singer walking down the street and observing the housing authority, task force, and OPD (Oakland Police Department) watching him. He is carrying a Glock for protection and witnessing drug-related activity, including dope fiends pushing buggies filled with kids and asking for drugs. The verse ends with the singer being attacked and kidnapped, setting the stage for the rest of the song.
The second and third verses feature the kidnappers demanding a ransom of $100,000 and threatening to harm the singer's friend with AIDS. The singer and his friends hatch a plan to rescue their friend, stockpiling guns and preparing for a violent confrontation with the kidnappers. The final verse concludes with the successful rescue mission, but also includes graphic descriptions of violence and death, emphasizing the brutal reality of life in their community.
