Snitch

Latin X 1967 (Philadelphia)



You talk too much. You should’ve kept your mouth shut. They’re on to you. They’re gonna trunk you. Looking over your shoulder, You’re not going to get much older.

 Kiss your mother goodbye, They’ll be tears in her eyes. Now you’re on the run from your crew. Thinking, what should you do? You lived a life of crime. You don’t want to do the time.

So you went undercover, Took your best friends under. Living life on the run, got your hand on your gun.

Living life on the edge. After you pledged allegiance to your friends. You're on the run. Your life is coming undone.

Gunshot to the chest. You’ve been laid to rest.
