lyrics

Blue lights flash through the rain on the glass /
One detained, the radio blasts /
Hands cuffed, rests his head on the pane while they ask all the obvious /
Remain silent, contemplating the consequence /

Caught red handed, left stranded /
So-called friends on the graft, guess that's it /
Know who your team is or isn't when the fan's hit /
Cogs turn to figure who's the bandit /

Doesn't listen when they ask him
What's in the back of the Transit, found several bags of the bad shit /
Someone pulled a stroke and they planned it, he wondered why /
Loyal to the cause, bottom rung to the ladders height /

A million and one things pass his mind /
'til he clocks a face, out the window, that he recognised /
Eyes narrow tryna work it out /
Introduced to him through an associate, he heard him vouch /

He's a friend of mine, shook hands and nodded heads /
And there began the plot unfolding as they planned the venture /
Dishonest trades attract a certain type /
And honour 'mongst thieves is the only rule that gets 'em by /

It's clear he's disrespected that /
Tricked by the undercover posing is a simple fact /
But what cooks his brain more than being gripped with gear /
Is the grass who set him up; and what he stands to gain this year /

He ponders all the factors, fuming is an understatement /
But the rage consuming isn't showing; keeps his face so vacant /
They book him in, he waves the phone call /
Looking at least 10 years and that's through no fault /

Of his own; always careful with associates /
Should have noticed it, something fishy, losing focus with /
What was going on; too much partying and being reckless /
What's he left with; a gym subscription and some nickel bracelets /
