[Verse]
~#**************#~
Woke up in a bad place
~#**************#~
Should probably get up, so Im not late
~#**************#~
Stared at my phone for the past eight
~#**************#~
Minutes at nothin, my head aches
~#**************#~
Bottles empty by the lampshade
~#**************#~
Im out of Excedrin again, great
~#**************#~
Too early to tell, but at this rate
~#**************#~
Im thinkin this might be a bad day
~#**************#~
I walk out the bedroom, my roommates
~#**************#~
Asleep on the couch with her two-faced
~#**************#~
Boyfriend who lives here, but dont pay
~#**************#~
A penny for rent, but he still stays
~#**************#~
She says hes broke, Im like, “No way”
~#**************#~
Probably sells drugs, but she wont say
~#**************#~
Told me he dabbles in real estate
~#**************#~
I mean I dont believe it, but okay
~#**************#~
Okay, pull out the driveway
~#**************#~
Notice my gas tanks on E again, well, of course, it is
~#**************#~
Guess I probably should stop at the gas station
~#**************#~
So I take a right, pull up to the pump
~#**************#~
While its pumpin, I look at my ashtray
~#**************#~
Then remember I need to get cigarettes (Cigarettes)
~#**************#~
Anything to help my mind state
~#**************#~
So, I park and walk inside—wait!
~#**************#~
I should probably get somethin to drink and eat, I guess
~#**************#~
So I find and grab a couple bags of chips
~#**************#~
Wheres the candy aisle? Oh, yeah, here it is
~#**************#~
Which one should I get? Should I grab the Starburst or
~#**************#~
Change it up and maybe grab the Twix?
~#**************#~
Mm, grab the Starburst, then I started walkin
~#**************#~
As I pass the garbage and I reach the fridge
~#**************#~
I hear someone yellin at the front of the store
~#**************#~
Probably just a homeless guy getting bored
~#**************#~
Probably just a customer whose card
~#**************#~
Didnt work, and now he wants to start a war
~#**************#~
Man, I cant afford to
~#**************#~
Keep buyin energy drinks everyday, I shut the door, then
~#**************#~
Turn around and as Im headin towards the counter
~#**************#~
With my drink, I hear, “Hey, open up the drawer!”
~#**************#~
Crouching on the floor
~#**************#~
Peek around the aisle, gun is on the fore-
~#**************#~
Head of the man thats behind the counter
~#**************#~
Now my heart is poundin and Im prayin to the Lord
~#**************#~
I dont die today, I cant die today
~#**************#~
I got things to do, tryin not to shake
~#**************#~
Plotting my escape, wheres my cellphone at?
~#**************#~
Left it in my car, icing on the cake
~#**************#~
I start crawling, I can hear em yellin
~#**************#~
“I want every penny, I want every dime!” (Yeah)
~#**************#~
“Once you finish with the cash
~#**************#~
Open up the bag, throw some cigarettes inside” (Yeah)
~#**************#~
“Which ones do you want? Which ones do you want?”
~#**************#~
“Im not picky, give me any kind
~#**************#~
Give me all of em, yeah, just toss em in
~#**************#~
Keep it movin though, Im runnin low on time and
~#**************#~
Id advise ya to move a little quicker
~#**************#~
Trust me, I dont wanna have to pull the trigger
~#**************#~
Ive done it before, its not a pretty picture
~#**************#~
What, you dont believe me? Im just playin with ya
~#**************#~
Well, no Im not, no Im not
~#**************#~
Just do what I say cause if you even think of tryna pull a fast one on me
~#**************#~
Promise youll be sorry
~#**************#~
Oh, my drivers calling, I cant miss my pick-up”
~#**************#~
Thats when I did somethin stupid
~#**************#~
And my jacket knocked over a can of soup and then
~#**************#~
It got quiet, did he hear me movin? Shh!
~#**************#~
Hold my breath, he mustve heard me do it, huh?
~#**************#~
Im assumin the
~#**************#~
Noise mustve made him turn his head enough
~#**************#~
To let the guy that was at gunpoint grab his own gun
~#**************#~
Now they both got weapons
~#**************#~
Maybe I should help him
~#**************#~
Sneak up slow and deck him
~#**************#~
Time to go, time to go, time to go
~#**************#~
Its gon be a bloody miracle
~#**************#~
Now or never, God, if I had any blessings
~#**************#~
Comin in my future, could You send em to my present?
~#**************#~
Peek around the edge, and I start runnin at him
~#**************#~
He dont see me comin, does he? Steppin closer
~#**************#~
Grab his neck and hold him, squeezin on his throat
~#**************#~
Im tryna choke him, then his elbow hits my nose and
~#**************#~
Think he broke it, I think he broke it, my
~#**************#~
Blood is leakin all over my clothes, I try
~#**************#~
Not to let go, but my hands begin to slip and bullets start to fly
~#**************#~
(*gunshots*) Cant see out my eyes
~#**************#~
(*gunshot*) Cashier still alive?
~#**************#~
I cant tell, Im tryna crawl away, here comes another guy
~#**************#~
He runs inside, like, “Wheres the money?
~#**************#~
Did you get the money? Wheres the bag you brought?” (Ayy)
~#**************#~
“I dont know, I think its still behind the counter
~#**************#~
Prolly by the cashier I just shot” (Ayy)
~#**************#~
“Whos this on the floor? Whos this on the floor?
~#**************#~
“I dont know!” “Well, did they call the cops?”
~#**************#~
He runs up to me, then he grabs my shoulder
~#**************#~
As he flips me over, then my jaw drops, cause
~#**************#~
I thought his voice sounded real familiar, hes
~#**************#~
Got a mask on, but the shirt hes wearing
~#**************#~
Is the same one he had on this morning
~#**************#~
Staring in my eyes, I know he knows I know
~#**************#~
Embarrassed, he stands above me and says, “Sorry Erin, but
~#**************#~
I dont have a choice,” he holds the barrel up
~#**************#~
To my head, I scream, “You cant be serious!”
~#**************#~
He shakes his head and says, “Im sorry,” then the gun— (*gunshot*)
~#**************#~
[Interlude]
~#**************#~
Get down, get on the ground (*gunshots*)
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Cashier yells to ask if Im okay, hes dialing 911
~#**************#~
I run over to him, grab his phone and try to help him up
~#**************#~
“911, whats your emergency?”
~#**************#~
“Theres been a robbery, the cashier was shot, he needs an ambulance
~#**************#~
He looks kinda pale, I think he mightve lost a lot of blood”
~#**************#~
“Okay, help is on the way, has anybody else been injured?”
~#**************#~
“Yeah, the robbers, there were two of em”
~#**************#~
“Can you tell me their condition? Are they still alive?”
~#**************#~
“Well, Im not really sure, but they dont look so good
~#**************#~
Im pretty sure theyre dead
~#**************#~
Yeah, I think theyre dead”
~#**************#~
“Alright, take a deep breath
~#**************#~
Everythings gonna be okay, youre gonna be alright”
