[Narrative Track]

The final track of the story. This track begins as soon as the bad side has seen his targets at the New Retro cypher event. He fires a shot and the crowd scatters. The targets rush out the back of the venue, and head into an alley, splitting up. The bad side and his man (The General), follow, his man goes right, he goes left.

As this is happening, the story jumps to the good side, who is trying to figure out just exactly what is going on. As all he knows is shots were fired. The story then shifts to the bad side's man who went right. He finishes off one of the 3 targets. The story then shifts back to the bad side as he pursues the remaining two targets. He corners them in an alley, and the story comes to a close...

lyrics

Verse 1: Narrate - Describing what happens as soon as the shots are fired..

The crowd scatters, some fall, loud in air factors small,
juss envision the place, where marshall mathers earled that stall,
str8 out a movie, recall? (ex)cept for now niggas
flee for life, when them heaters they draw,
See good and bad thru this all, them pussy niggas, they saw
rush out the back thru the hall, so they follow em in pursuit
Like a, brute for the loot, Who tend, to steady shoot,
then send, hollow point proof, Condensed burst fire groups,
Fatigue attire boots, searchin for halfway crooks,
(they) scared to death, they scared to look
they shook, fuckin pawns, gainst some rooks,
sargents of arms, bout to cook
with expertise, could fill a book
stashin bodies in nooks, juxin out life by the hoofs
So he disperse with his crooks, while the good side
try to stay out the hood ties, the bad lies in a place
tried being a good guy, like (didnt, didnt i?)

Verse 2: [Good Side] Perception of what is going on

Now let's perceive from perspective of good,
seen in the presence of folks misunderstood,
Niggas started shootin, cause problems w/ distribution,
fuckin up personal livelihoods, trynna feed a pack of wolves,
packin heaters primed to full, blinded minds defined by jewels,
luxury cars, eloped the game, when life had menopause
bandaged in gauze, now known the factors leading to the cause
simple and plain, eye for an eye, assimilation of a sovereign nation,
Out for the bacon, he juss trynna get his cut
with-a-side of eggs, and, niggas stay slightly hatin,
bumpin shoulders, with the shooter, thought he the target, of satan,
but, the grace of God, had saved him, thankfully death ain't waitin,
but, them niggas who the targets, best pray the shooters aint Haitian
crips or bloods, even jamaican, shottas, be no fakin
when they stretch em niggas out, plankin, they final destination,
this occasion, bring the pain, and retribution, guns blazin
Something like diallo when he was tragically shot by jakes,
(...though he tried...RIP)

Verse 3: [Bad Side] Hear the perspective of the bad side's man as he pursues one of the targets

you know i'ma hold it down,
as soon as you point him out
i got you, he got 2?
we even the scorin now
we beef and they low in ground,
got a rep to protect
bout to put a fire
to the cypher wit weapons we sketch
them abstract masterpieces,
inspirations revenge playin to win,
gotta man up for takin our men
aye where he at young?
turn my other cheek to check my back
cause you can't get caught sleepin,
the number one lesson, strapped
exhaled the jack as i felt a tap,
vibes changed, niggas like,
there he go, in my hand the 9 stays
you thinkin i need a belt,
nah, a nigga tryna spray
bust then boys get made up stories in 5 days
crime pays when revenge is the wage
you think our bloods glazed, till your men get hit with them strays
ended up catchin his bitch in the face,
the man in his back friends in the legs,
the damage is stamped, half of em flat
...we got 1, now see how they react...

Verse 4: [Bad Side] Hear the perspective of the kid on the bad path, as he pursues the other two targets (in a different place than his man)

In the distance, heard his mans 9 spray while trynna slay, With his ruger
hollow a mind, lay defined pay-back, w/ precision, lay him side ways
his crime wave, strike, the oppositionIn blind rage, no kind phase
make it certain that his SR9 blaze thru sight rays
infrared beamin crimson lines haze a bright gaze
up in the night's craze heart, (as) cold as a knife
(He) eagerly put on ice, with premeditated procedures
to bleed em till ain no life, that trife, he cornered two
deep in a alley, one tried to pull out
but caught two in his chest cavity, badly
so now its (juss) one, (and) he sadly
frontin, like none of em gladly
put his lil mans, (and) two his soldiers
below? (...cause) exactly, word is they motives
was dastardly, (so) he haphazardly, blasts his knee
with im-peccable accuracy, now he screamin in agony
yellin "Shut up!", he further spill anatomy Said "D-didn't I"
pulled the trigger once, another murder, happened, tragically

(..He tried..)
