Don’t Go Out Lyrics
[Intro]
The bullets that ended “Big Paul” Castellano’s
life last night may very well have been a pay-off
for getting into such trouble with the feds. As the
reputed head of the crime Commission and the
godfather of the Gambino family, his appearance in
court every day and the preoccupation with his defense
were bad for business. Experts say his associates
may very well have decided Big Paul was more trouble
than he was worth.
[Chorus]
Watch these niggas if you know like I know
Gotta make sure, that you lock your backdoor
Don’t go out like Paul Castellano
Don’t go out like Paul Castellano
Niggas tell every tale, loose lips sink ships
Put the bullet in his mind, so you know it won’t miss
Your own people put the knife in your back, though
Don’t go out like Paul Castellano
[Verse 1]
They came in, readied the place
Took money from outta the safe
Froze the accounts with Chase
You runnin’ like you in a race
How did they get outta hand?
‘Cause niggas don’t stay in they place
You didn’t want be the man
You didn’t want be the face
You never wanted to live this life,
’cause you know that niggas be fake
Dealin’ with ‘migos, fuckin’ with plugs,
these niggas’ll take
Watchin’ they’re payin’ attention for
shit they not gonna mention
You rich, you runnin’ with henchmen
This shit don’t come with a pension
Make it make sense, you dealin’ with
federal agents
You smellin’ like medical fragrance
Witnesses credible, basics
Lawyer fees, lawyers fees, come before
your daughter needs
Hope your people won’t tell your
secrets like Alicia Keys
See upcoming rap shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists
[Chorus]
Watch these niggas if (Yeah)
you know like I know (Uh-huh)
Gotta make sure that you lock
your backdoor (Tell ’em)
Don’t go out like Paul Castellano (Yessir)
Don’t go out like Paul Castellano (They do)
Niggas tell every tale,
loose lips sink ships (Damn)
Put the bullet in his mind,
so you know it won’t miss (Baow)
Your own people put the knife in your back,
though (Yep)
Don’t go out like Paul Castellano (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Before you trust these streets,
you better trust your gut
If somethin’ don’t feel right,
that might mean somethin’ up
You might think that your dog came
through to help you up
One day, even your day ones might
come to set you up
You out here livin’ lavish,
you in the latest fashion
You got in way too good,
’cause all your bitches is the baddest
Water on your neck and wrist,
you always come through splashin’
But to a hatin’-ass nigga,
it sound like you braggin’
Mane, these streets is rotten,
really can’t trust nobody
Shit heartbreakin’,
found it out your partner plottin’
A fortune teller never woulda seen this comin’,
now I gotta do my homie like Nino did Gee Money
[Chorus]
Watch these niggas if (Yeah) you know like I know (Uh-huh)
Gotta make sure that you lock your backdoor (Tell ’em)
Don’t go out like Paul Castellano (Yessir)
Don’t go out like Paul Castellano (They do)
Niggas tell every tale, loose lips sink ships (Damn)
Put the bullet in his mind, so you know it won’t miss (Baow)
Your own people put the knife in your back, though (Yep)
Don’t go out like Paul Castellano
You audience
