Payback Is A Grandmother Lyrics

[00:03.74] Yo, I don't know what was on y'all niggas birds
[00:08.19] To go up to the boat, and start robbing old folks
[00:12.28] Now see you done messed with the wrong old lady
[00:16.33] You done went wild, yo, check it
[00:20.40] There was a Hardy Boy mystery I tried to solve again
[00:23.38] Dude that broke in my crib, it wasn't involving him
[00:26.09] Four in the morning, my phone ringing
[00:28.66] I'm thinking, "Who the fuck is this," on the other line screaming
[00:31.61] Told em, "Keep down," but they was breathing hard
[00:34.16] It was my grandmother telling me that she had been robbed
[00:36.55] I told her hold (hold) tight (tight), I'd be right over
[00:39.47] Freezing but this situation made the night colder
[00:42.16] Knew this was the night (that what?) that she played poker
[00:44.78] With some friends in a club at the boat getting bub'
[00:47.35] Said she seen these thugs on the boat for a while
[00:49.92] Not gambling but every now and then they'd smile
[00:52.74] Then blow! They had Mag's
[00:54.47] And told everybody, "Put your shit in the bag"
[00:57.19] Made people strip naked, quicker than a Luke record (what?)
[01:00.19] Had the place took in a minute and some seconds
[01:02.69] Asked her how many of it was em? (How many of it was em?)
[01:05.26] Said she couldn't remember
[01:06.07] She was spooked and buzzing, couldn't describe 'em
[01:08.48] Cause it happened too fast (what?) said they looked like me
[01:11.23] With they pants hanging off they ass
[01:12.86] Got her some water, and begin to think
[01:15.50] How these niggas take her wig, her bracelet and her mink?
[01:18.48] Somebody round the crib know the deal
[01:20.42] Whoever did it better have Blue Shield for real
[01:23.56] Cause yo, it's the big payback
[01:45.18] Later that day I went to the 'shop, to see what was up
[01:47.89] Them niggas probably knew something plus I needed a cut
[01:50.62] Walked in they was playing Jigga
[01:52.61] Discussing how Da Brat titties done got bigger
[01:55.33] These niggas next to me, was talking bout the heist
[01:58.15] Whoever did it even got Jordan for his ice
[02:00.68] Said that it was done so precise the cops ain't know nothing
[02:03.97] Had to use all my might not to ask no questions
[02:07.19] Put down the magazine, went to the pop machine
[02:09.34] Noticing these cats, had the Bling Bling
[02:11.89] They wouldn't be talking if they did it, it could be they team
[02:14.69] A week ago neither one of these niggas had a ring
[02:17.33] This Hype came in, selling CD's, said the BD's
[02:19.99] Was bragging bout robbery they had done
[02:21.91] By now, I'm thinking bout my gun if I see gramps bracelet
[02:25.21] I'ma play racist (and what?) and make niggas run
[02:27.83] It's the big payback
[02:48.70] My imagination roamed as I got in the chair
[02:51.51] Thinking when shit went down, I was I was there
[02:54.24] Fucking with fam' who you are, I don't care
[02:56.79] Have your guys pouring liquor witch'ya name in they swear
[02:59.47] These chicks claim they was there, knew the niggas who done it
[03:01.92] Said it was Smoke and them from the Wild 100's
[03:04.35] Eight million stories got me running in place, it's getting tricky
[03:07.56] (like who?) like dude, that do drum'n'bass
[03:10.08] There was a air in the place, that made me suspicious
[03:12.92] Normally, they'd be talkin like bitches
[03:15.12] My barber cut me with a quickness (what?)
[03:17.23] Asked him where he got the new bracelet
[03:18.89] He said it was his sister's, I knew then
[03:20.86] What made it official, he gave me my change
[03:23.35] The money clip had gramp's initials (c'mon)
[03:25.94] As I, whooped his ass up, six niggas masked up
[03:28.50] Pulled up in a Cadillac truck
[03:44.90] Three-alarm fire and a possible homicide
[03:48.55] The building is entitled "The Ultimate Barbershop"
[03:56.66] There are six unidentified bodies in the building
[03:59.32] They are all presumed dead
[04:00.29] I repeat they are all presumed dead
[04:01.95] However there are no suspects
[04:03.60] I repeat the subjects are at large
[04:05.98] We might need some backup
[04:12.17] Inform O'Malley that we need backup, over
[04:18.42] The skit definitely needs more sound added to it
[04:22.35] Plus a new writer for the script, thank you
[04:24.21] Someone get Prince Paul on the phone please
