144 Lyrics

I wrote this pretty cool story for y'all, so uh, here goes nothing

Wake up in the morning like I gotta go to work

Grab a suit and tie like I'm a preacher going to church

Grab my wallet and run out the door to the elevator

Turn through stories and pages like I've been getting hella paper

On the bottom floor, call a taxi, get in the back

Tell the driver where I need to go and hand him some cash

Gave him way too much, but I just told him to keep the change

Five tens and ones, to me they're all the same

Sixteen blocks later, I said thanks

I close the door and then I start walking right to the bank

I got a meeting at nine, but I'll just be late

It's a seven-figure check that needs to go in the safe

Yeah, it's 8:53 and the sun is still fresh

I walk up to the really cute girl running the desk

I can smell the coffee and cigarettes on her breath

So I compliment her smile and then hand her the check

No, she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the amount

Yeah, I heard her panties drop and then she opened her mouth

Yeah, she wanted my number and asked if we could go out

I said, I'll pick you up at six and we can eat if you're down

I gave her ten digits, but I stayed and talked to her for ten minutes

Up until four guys walked in with two bitches

They look out of place, got some bags around their waist

Which is off-setting, one of them bends down to tie his laces with his

POP-POP

One of them lets off a couple rounds

And they all started shouting, everybody on the ground

I oblige cause I don't really want a hole in my brain

Now I'm on the floor looking for a way to escape

The guy who shot the gun grabbed me in my new date

He asked if I worked there too and I lied right to his face

Yeah, I told him that I'm new like Adele in 88

But I learned pretty fast and I know my way around the place

He said, come with me, there's something that I need you to do

And how he walked down the hall, I think he's looking for a room

He asked me where's the money vault and if I knew the code

I told him, right this way, like I knew where to go

He's got the gun to my back and now a knife to the throat

He said, you better be right or you won't make it home

Now I'm thinking to myself, my timer's ticking to zero

I missed the buzzer-beater won't go down as a hero

Something clicked in my back, I heard him shaking his head

He said, time's up, congratulations, now you're dead

I quickly turn around and grab his wrist and twist his shit

He dropped the gun and POP, damn, I think I got hit

I feel the knife behind my shoulder talking blade on blade

I kick him in the chest and grab the gun and blow him away

I got a bullet in the leg and a knife in the back

I guess it wouldn't be the first time I got stabbed in the HEY

A couple goons around the corner started running my way

They sending shots like they're brothers named Curry and Clay

I dive down the stairs as they empty their clips

I peek and shoot one in the neck and shoot his friend in the hip

The one droped had to make the other's head split

I got two bullets left and three more people to hit

The wounds are feeling fine like I've got nine lives

Think it's the adrenaline, yeah, I feel it in time

Make my way to the front where the whole thing started

Everybody's outside like they're 16 and got carded

Apparently the others dipped when they heard shots flying

Didn't a risk of life, no amount of money is worth dying

The cops pull on the scene, this all feels like a dream

They see the gun in my hand and then they tell me to freeze

As I put the gun down and say it's not what it seems

144 reasons tell you it's not me, yeah
