 8 minutes to sunrise
 Oh baby now  what are we gonna do? (I don't know..)
 Pressure is mountin
 Oh baby now  how we gonna get through? (I  don't  know)
 Can't go left (uh uh) can't go right (uh uh)
 Don't know  how we made it through the night (c'mon c'mon c'mon)
 7 minutes to sunrise
 Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (Do it, do it..)

 It was once said by Black Thought that  Things Fall Apart
 Knew I shouldn't have been messin with dude's girl from start
 But I pimp from the heart, the art of it made it interestin
 Plus me and sister blend before we got intimate
 Friend or no friend, my man caught wind
 This chick is payin me, it'll either cost me or cost him
 Told her she shoulda lost him (when?) a while ago
 Cause dude'll drink a pile of Mo' and defile her yo
 I ain't here to start on this [nigga] for me to wreck his broad
 you could tell what I thought of this [nigga]
 Nickname was Smoke, don't know if that was cause of cigarettes
 (or what?) or guns he tote, he called shots on the deck
 so I wasn't tryin to call his bluff, by his persona
 you could see, he think he tough!
 If that wasn't enough, old girl had his son
 This is Wild like the West I'm like Jesse on the run, uhh

 [Jill Scott]
 6 minutes to sunrise
 Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I, don't, know)
 Pressure is mountin
 Oh baby now, how we gon' get through? (I, don't, know)
 Can't go left and (uh-uh) can't go right and (uh-uh)
 Don't know, how we made it through the night (yo, we got..)
 5 minutes to sunrise
 Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (Do it, do it..)

 [Common]
 I understand that time is runnin out, I'm thinkin of town-skippin
 Got a Chevy but the alternator be trippin
 I'm hittin rum straight, thinkin of a route to truncate
 The streets is watchin, out is one way I put myself in his Nike's
 His position is, "Aight man, somebody bonin my lady"
 Probably snap like Rod-man
 My plan was to meet at this bar called the Tiki (when?)
 'round four, when she was comin she would beep me
 I sat deep in the corner, drinkin zombies, becomin one by now
 Wonderin if my style would support her and her child
 Out the corner of my eye saw this stud I recognized (who?)
 One of Smoke's guys, to stay out of sight I tried
 Told Jill Scott to meet we coulda picked a better spot
 On some "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" [shit] like Deborah Cox
 Looked at my watch, [shit] I don't even got a watch
 Felt for my glock, damnit I don't even got a glock, yo

 4 minutes to sunrise
 Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I don't know..)
 Pressure is mountin
 Oh baby now, how we gon' get through? (I, don't, know)
 Can't go left and (uh-uh) can't go right and (uh-uh)
 Don't know, how we made it through the night (c'mon c'mon)
 3 minutes to sunrise
 Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (Do it, do it..)

 Pressure puh-pressure what? The pressure's cookin
 It ain't good lookin, like a black promoter I'm talkin bookin
 Not that I'm spooked of dude, I could whup him
 But he was on the horn informin the rest of them hoodlums (aight)
 Usually I wouldn't fight over a woman, old girl had a sun-shine
 was messed up, on Smoke's payroll was one-time
 My pager went off, it read one line: "Come get me
 from Halsted," I'm thinkin this is monkey bar [shit]
 Went to the phone quick, called her (what happened?) Her line was busy
 Situation number nine, got my mind dizzy
 Wondered if this plan was designed to get me
 I've been drinkin too strong to be thinkin too long
 Like 40 goin North I'm doin 50, headed for the spot
 Askin God to be with me, and lately
 she has been actin shifty -- (but what?)
 But then it hit me (hit me) it hit me (hit me)
 It hit me (hit me) it hit me

 [Jill Scott]
 2 minutes to sunrise
 Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I don't know..)
 Pressure is mountin
 Oh baby now, how we gonna get through? (Yo -- I said I, don't, know)
 Can't go left and (uh-uh) can't go right and (nope)
 Don't know, how we made it through the night (yo, we got)
 1 minute to sunrise
 Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (one-one, one.. ha?)
 1 minute.. (we got, we got) one, one
 1 minute.. (ahh shit, we got) one, one
 1 minute.. (what we got girl?) one, one
 1 minute.. (baby, Com Sense on the run) now, now
 1 minute.. (Com Sense on the run) one..
 1 minute.. (just got on the run, just got on the run)
 (Com Sense on the run, Com Sense on the run)
 (just got on the run, just got on the run)
 (they got us on the run like.. they got us on the run)
 (they got us on the.. yo, they got us on the run)
 (uhh, yo, they got us on the run)
 (they got us on the.. yo, they got us on the run)
 and we out
