[C]
[Db] [Ab] [Db] [C]
[Abm] [Ab]
[Dbm] [A] [Ab]
[Abm] [Ab]
[Dbm] [Gb] Now what are we [Ab] gonna do?
[Abm] It was once said by black thought that things fall apart
Knew I shouldn't have been [Ab] messing with dudes' girl from [Abm] the start
But I've heard from the [B] heart, the art of it made it interesting
Plus me [Ab] and sister blend before we [Dbm] got intimate
Friend or [B] no friend, her man called [E] when his chick is playing me
[Ab] Either he'd have caught me or caught [Dbm] him
Told her she [B] should have lost [A] him a while ago
Just do the drinking, [Ab] pile of moe and the [Abm] filer, Joe
I ain't here to sort on this, [B] for me to wreck and fraud
You [Ab] can tell what I thought of this, [Dbm] nickname was Smoke
[B] Didn't know if that was cause of cigarettes or guns he [Ab] towed
He called shots on [Dbm] the dash, so I wasn't trying to call his bluff
But I still sign her, you can see, [Ab] he think he tough
[Db] If that wasn't enough, [Db] old girl had a son
This is wild like the west, I'm like [Ab] Jesse on the run
[Db] [E] Six minutes to sunrise, now baby now what are we [Ab] gonna do?
I don't [Dbm] know, no, no
[A] Pressure is mounting, now baby now how we [Ab] gonna get through?
Yo, I [Dbm] don't know
Can't go left and can't go [Gb] right and
Don't know [Ab] how we made it through [Dbm] tonight
Five [B] minutes to sunrise, now baby now what are we [Ab] gonna do?
I [Abm] understand the time is running out, I'm thinking the [B] time's skipping
Got a Chevy but [Ab] the alternator be tripping
[Dbm] I'm hitting rums straight, [B] thinking of a route to truncate
The [Ab] streets is watching, out is one way
I put [Dbm] myself in his lane, [Ab] his position is odd man
Somebody voting my lady, probably snap like [Db] Rodman
I plan what to meet at [B] this bar called the Tiki
Round four when she was coming, [Ab] she would beat me
I [Dbm] sat deep in the corner, [B] drinking zombies, becoming one by now
Wondering if my [Ab] style would support her and her [Dbm] child
Out the corner of my eye, saw the stud I recognized
One of the smoke [Ab] guys, to stay out of sight I [Dbm] tried
Told Joe Scott to meet, we could've picked a better spot
On some nobody's [Bb] supposed to be here, like Debra [Dbm] Cox
Looked at my watch, [A] and I don't even got a watch
Fell for [Ab] my Glock, damn it I don't even got a [Dbm] Glock
Four minutes to sunrise, now [Gb] baby now what are we [Ab] gonna do?
[Dbm] Pressure [B] is mounting, now baby now how we [Ab] gonna get through?
[Abm] Can't go lefting, can't go righting
Don't know [Ab] how we made it through the [Dbm] night
Three [B] minutes to sunrise, now baby now what are we [Ab] gonna do?
[Abm] Pressure, pressure, what?
The press is cooking
It ain't good looking, [Ab] like a black remote I'm [Dbm] talking booking
Not that I'm [B] spooking, dude I could whoop him
But he was on the horn in front [Ab] of the rest of the pillow
[Abm] Usually I wouldn't fight over a woman
Old girl had the sunshine, was messed up
[Ab] On Smoke's payroll was [Dbm] one time, my pager went off
[B] It read one line, come get me
From Halsted, [Ab] I'm thinking this is monkey bar
[Abm] Went to the phone, quick called her
Her line [B] was busy, situation number [Ab] nine
Got my mind [Dbm] dizzy, wondered if this plan [B] was designed to get me
I've been drinking too strong, [Ab] been thinking too long
[Abm] Like 40 going north, I'm doing 50
Heading for the spot, asking God to [Ab] be with me
[Dbm] And lately, she has been [A] acting shifty
But then it hit me, hit me, [Ab] hit me, hit me, hit me
[Abm] Two minutes to sunrise, now baby now what are we [Ab] gonna do?
I don't [Db] know, no, no
[Gbm] Pressure is mounting, now [E] baby now how are we [Ab] gonna get through?
[Db] Can't go laughing, can't go [B] riding
Don't know [Ab] how we made it through the [Dbm] night
One [A] minute to sunrise, now baby now what are [Ab] we, what are [Dbm] we?
One minute, one [Gb] minute, one [Ab] minute,
[Dbm] one [Gbm] minute, one [B] [Ab] minute
[Dbm] Constance on the run, [Gb] Constance on the run
Just [E] got on the run, just [Ab] got on the run
[Dbm] Constance on the run, [Db] Constance on the run
Just got on the run, just [Ab] got on the run
They [Dbm] got us on the run, like
[Gb] They got us on the run, they got us on the [Ab] run
They got us on the [Db] run, uh, yo
They got us on the run, they got us on the [Ab] run
They got us on the [Abm] run and we got
[Ab] [Dbm] [Gbm] [N]
