Boy I am so tired
I'll be glad when
I get inside the house
Oh, I dropped
my keys
Oh what tis bright
light?
My God they must
gonna rob me
Who these people
with them all at they gonna rob me
I'm gonna take
out my wallet to make sure they just get the money
Nothing else..
(??)
Oh it's the police
(*whew*)
I feel so much
better
I will show them,
I have my ID
so they know I
am good people
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil
for thou art with me thou ride with me
J-J-Jah!
Ras-tafari

you knotty dreads, y'all up in here

air
Enemy.. on the
borderline
Who'll be the

forty-one shots
by Diallo's side?
You said he reached
sir
but he didn't
have no piece sir
But now he rest
in peace sir
in the belly of
the beast sir
You guys are vampires
in the middle
of the night
Suckin on human
blood
Is that your appetite?
You said he reached

but he didn't
have no piece sir
But now he rest

shot
forty-one times?
Have you ever
screamed
and no one heard
you cry?
Have you ever
died
only so you can
live?
Have you ever
lived
only so you can
die again, then be born again
from these enemies,
on the borderline
Who'll be the
next to fire
forty-one shots
by Diallo's side?
You said he reached
sir
but he didn't
have no piece sir
But now he rest

of the night
Suckin on human
blood
Is that your appetite
sir?
You said he reached

but he didn't
have no piece sir
But now he rest
in peace sir
in the belly of
the beast sir
