Istanbul King
The Last Night
(Intro)
Ayy

(Verse 1)
I’m with my n***as on the block, at a quarter to 3
I been fucked up all day, I been high on the weed
N***as tryna rob us, they ain’t getting shit free
If they want my shit, they gon’ talk right to me, ayy
I was riding with my n***as, making jokes about sex
I told my n***a that his dick can’t pleasure insects
I’ll admit, I wrote that line, so I could make you laugh
If you fuck with us, you’ll be in an eternal bath
We was robbing n***as, anything we could do
I had to do what I could with my new .22
Me and my n***as rode around the black, in an old-school black Chevy
After a day of bullshit, we were tired, eyes heavy
Looked inside the crib through a window, what the fuck do we see?
3 n***as in ski-masks, holding Glock-17s
They were shooting the place, anything in sight
They were holding hostages, I think around 5
I checked my watch, it was around 7
One thug turns around, he has a Mac-11
I crouch by the window, praying he didn’t see me
Everything in my life just flashes by me

(Chorus)
It’s simple, a day of bullshit could go and end your life
You gotta make sure you get home, early tonight
Shout out Immortal Technique, this idea ain’t mine
I’m tryna tell a story, that’ll leave chills in your spine
Me and my n***as were the crackheads, fucking the block
We always wanted bitches to bounce on our cocks
I been tryna sell n***as the crack rock
I single thing in life can make your heart stop
It’s simple, a day of bullshit could go and end your life
You gotta make sure you get home, early tonight
Shout out Immortal Technique, this idea ain’t mine
I’m tryna tell a story, that’ll leave chills in your spine
Me and my n***as were the crackheads, fucking the block
We always wanted bitches to bounce on our cocks
I been tryna sell n***as the crack rock
I single thing in life can make your heart stop
(Verse 2)
I ducked outside the window, and questioned my life
“Had I made the right choices? What should I have done in life?”
I take a peek inside, and I hear a shout
Suddenly, there were bullet holes in our house
The windows turned red, 4 hostages were dead
I watched a thug put a gun to the last one’s head
I shut my eyes as he squeezed the trigger
I tried to identify, who the fuck was this n***a
I duck back outside as he aims at the window
My n***as suggests distraction
“Bad move, shouldn’t take action”
He suggests using his gun to try and make an advance
I snap him out of it as if he was in a trance
I thought about it, we should take a chance
We made the decision to run in and advance

(Chorus)
It’s simple, a day of bullshit could go and end your life
You gotta make sure you get home, early tonight
Shout out Immortal Technique, this idea ain’t mine
I’m tryna tell a story, that’ll leave chills in your spine
Me and my n***as were the crackheads, fucking the block
We always wanted bitches to bounce on our cocks
I been tryna sell n***as the crack rock
I single thing in life can make your heart stop
(Verse 3)
I knocked on the front door, I was sweating buckets
I nodded at my n***a, he mouthed to be “Tuck it”
A thug opened the door, I was shocked at what I saw
It was one of my n***as, who was gone all day long
I say, “The fuck are you doing?”
He answers, “Why are you here?”
I was too shocked for words, he done cracked my world
I nodded at my n***a, he pulled out his gun
My other n***a answered, “Shit was for fun.”
I look in his eyes, they were full of desire
Desire to kill, desire to set fire
I felt that I couldn’t move, I did not know what to do
I tried to step back, but he pulled us both in
What we say made us want to vomit everything we’d taken in
Heads in bins

(Chorus)
It’s simple, a day of bullshit could go and end your life
You gotta make sure you get home, early tonight
Shout out Immortal Technique, this idea ain’t mine
I’m tryna tell a story, that’ll leave chills in your spine
Me and my n***as were the crackheads, fucking the block
We always wanted bitches to bounce on our cocks
I been tryna sell n***as the crack rock
I single thing in life can make your heart stop
(Verse 4)
He showed us around the scene, it was gory and bloody
We didn’t know what to do, I should’ve called somebody
I wanted to keep my respect, didn’t snitch, kept to myself
I’ma tryna forget it, but that’s its own hell
There were 5 dead men, their limbs in bins
My n***a was a psycho, he couldn’t have been
The day before, we were the closest of friends
He continued to walk, the scene turned green
My face was greener than it had ever been
I wanted it to end, I didn’t think it would
My n***a stopped me and my friend on the cold wood
“Get on your knees!” he ordered with no remorse
Suddenly, I felt the ground getting coarse
My old n***a done shot the ground, as if it was a demonstration
I realized, I knew, that there was no escaping
I remembered the good times, our past was blessed
“Siddy, why?” I asked, powerless
“You accidentally snitched.”
I thought he was joking, I thought he went rogue
But it was something from years ago that I told the law
So it was now my fault, that 5 people were dead
I felt as if I was as Siddy put the gun to my n***a’s head

(Chorus)
It’s simple, a day of bullshit could go and end your life
You gotta make sure you get home, early tonight
Shout out Immortal Technique, this idea ain’t mine
I’m tryna tell a story, that’ll leave chills in your spine
Me and my n***as were the crackheads, fucking the block
We always wanted bitches to bounce on our cocks
I been tryna sell n***as the crack rock
I single thing in life can make your heart stop

(Verse 5)
I winced at the sound, my n***a was dead
Now there were 2 more holes in his head
As Siddy was walking, I took a glance
And who the victims were made me start to pant
They were my other n***as, I was part of a crew
A crew that was now old news
I try to stay calm, I can’t, I can’t move
I was frozen in place, as if in a vacuum
I entered the home to save the dead, not join ‘em
I failed my mission, I knew this was missing
I looked at my n***a
“Goodbye, Jeremy.”
I make eye contact as he pulls the trigger and shoots me dead
I have two bullet holes in my head
I died tryna be a hero, what the fuck did that do
All it did was wind be up on the news

(Chorus)
It’s simple, a day of bullshit could go and end your life
You gotta make sure you get home, early tonight
Shout out Immortal Technique, this idea ain’t mine
I’m tryna tell a story, that’ll leave chills in your spine
Me and my n***as were the crackheads, fucking the block
We always wanted bitches to bounce on our cocks
I been tryna sell n***as the crack rock
I single thing in life can make your heart stop
It’s simple, a day of bullshit could go and end your life
You gotta make sure you get home, early tonight
Shout out Immortal Technique, this idea ain’t mine
I’m tryna tell a story, that’ll leave chills in your spine
Me and my n***as were the crackheads, fucking the block
We always wanted bitches to bounce on our cocks
I been tryna sell n***as the crack rock
I single thing in life can make your heart stop

(Verse 6)
After he shot me, he took his own life
Now, I’m here in the afterlife
Pardoned of my sins, a new life will begin
I made my mistakes, I was killed for them
I remember one thing he said to me, before he went rogue
“There’s a lot to me that you don’t know”
