P - pts in my crib, k9s in the front lawn
First thoughts to wild, second thought to stay calm

P - cool with the roughness, I aint violent
Reached for his nine mil, partner started smiling
E - shut up mulley, turn around and keep your mouth shut
P - peep the neighbors starin as he reached for his handcuffs
Threw on the bracers squeeze tight to increase the pain
Thinkin to myself, damn... who killed jane?
Chorus

P - they got me downtown, starin at four walls with one call

And your whereabouts last night about eight

E - you know homeboy, the death of jane
P - you must be insane with no brains sniffin cocaine
And if I caught a body itd be yours and not jane
E - or mr. toughy, you wish you had a nine to bust me

P - cop grabbed me by my neck pushed me towards the damn door
See my homies, locked down on the same floor
E - so you wanna be a killer and run the streets bro?
P - didnt respond, just chilled to play his ego
Stepped in the mens room, still filthy from the ill broom
E - hurry up and take a piss and stop stallin you damn goon
P - that was the wrong move, how stupid, time to go for mine
Not glacial time, but the black nine
Gotta clear my name, been framed for the death of jane
Must make my move now or its ball and chain
Chorus
