A song about having a misunderstanding with a hard core gangsta rapper and the violence that followed.
lyrics
What's my punishment tonight?
The executioner's arrived
We're up in the club and we're having a good time
till I started talking to your wife
i guess we'll step outside.
What's my punishment tonight?
What's my fate that you decide
for saying your rhymes weren't as good as mine
and that you're much smaller in real life?
I guess I'll lose an eye.
Now I'm staring down your nine
and your crew looks kinda wild
I should've known you were a serious guy
and that you're never to be criticized.
I better prepare to die.
