[Chorus: Tony Sunshine]<br>Mamma.. I don`t understand<br>Why he had to fuck with me, now I gotta kill this man<br>I said mamma.. now I`m on the run<br>Dear ma-mmahhhhhhh.. what have I done?<br><br>[Big Pun]<br>Somebody save me, I think I just killed somebody baby<br>Shoulda chilled but money was really tryin to play me<br>Couldn`t hold it no more so I showed him the four<br>Duke was dissin my girl like she was hoein on tour<br>And knowin I`m raw, money tried to play fly<br>"I said whassup to the bitch; why she couldn`t say hi?"<br>That ain`t right! I had to put him in his place<br>Remember them hollows I bought for three bottles?<br>I put `em in his face<br>I didn`t have to disgrace myself, hatin myself<br>"Ahora a tu!" BLAM BLAM, brace yo`self<br>That`s the law - the streets are like basketball<br>but sometimes you shoot, sometimes you pass it off<br>Can`t always take a shot, make one mistake you upstate for what?<br>Too much hate, time to break the lock<br>I hate the cops so I ain`t tryin to see `em<br>I love a brother doin triple life but I ain`t tryin to be him<br>That`s why I be on the low, and keep my feet in the row<br>Cause they`re tellin me as far as felonies<br>you get life for three in a row<br>Then whadday`know? Last week at the flicks<br>I had to kill somebody, for steppin on my kicks (STUPID)<br><br>[Chorus]<br><br>[Big Pun]<br>I can murder half the world laugh while the other side hate me<br>but hurt one hair on my mamma head and I`ma, cry like a baby<br>She my heart and soul; what Jimi Hendrix was to rock`n`roll<br>Made me believe I could achieve the impossible<br>Now you know one of my weakness`s, but Punisher keeps it glizz<br>So don`t pull out cause when I pop oh what a relief it is<br>Send you where Jesus is - hold up, that`s the gas chamber<br>Think before you put on that ski-mask and blast a stranger<br>Relax the anger, don`t be so hard on yourself<br>That`s how you`ll end up twelve years old; <br>bein charged as an adult<br>Terror Squad is here to help so you can learn from our mistakes<br>Cause power just makes you reject destiny and devour your fate<br>How many hours I waste, tryin to figure the shit<br>Until I finally realized, we`re just niggaz and spics<br>That`s what they feel, what can I do but just stay real?<br>Keep somethin in the stash in case I gotta make bail<br>Cause ain`t no brothers, runnin shit in the system<br>You goin straight to jail if you colored and fit the description<br>.. fuck you talkin about? I live here<br>This is my buildin nigga; fuck you nigga!<br>That`s my daughter right there playin.. fuck off me!<br>Get the fuck off!<br><br>[Chorus]<br><br>[Big Pun]<br>I don`t have much time so I`m only gonna ask you once<br>to please forgive me mamma; I love you and I`m sorry I broke your heart<br>But I ask you to do me a favor and take care of my daughters<br>and raise them to be good respectable woman, like their mother<br>God bless her soul<br>And raise my son to be a good man, a better man than me<br>And for this I give you my soul, I love you<br><br>[Chorus - whispered; a woman cries out in agony]<br><br>[Tony Sunshine]<br>Heyyyy ma-ma-ma-mma..<br>I just killed a man..<br>Ma-mmaaaa.. what am I to do?
