Peel Their Caps Back Lyrics - Greatest Hits: The Evidence - Ice T

Coolin in my crib, cold video dubbin 

FBI wanted? Huh, don't mean nuttin 

They call that shit a crime? Yo that shit's a joke 

Hit record on my dope remote 

I heard my phone ringin, I wonder who could it be 

It was the E, the V, yes the I-L E 

He said, "We got static - word, I just got out 

Punks tried to move at the club and we shot out 

Bullets everywhere," Okay what's the prob? 

"Ink got popped, he's dead as a doorknob." 

You bullshittin! "I ain't fuckin around. 

The posse's rollin tonight, nigga are you down?" 

I grabbed my AK, my 16, and my baby Mac 

Strapped on my vest, and threw the 9 in the small of my back 

I said - Chill, don't let nobody move without me 

Say you know where they are? 

He said, "I know where they be" 

Let's peel their caps back 

Let's peel their caps back 

Twelve o'clock midnight, posse was airtight 

Twenty-five cars, under the streetlights 

Some people talked, while others cried 

Ink was a brother, who shouldn't have died 

Then the silence broke, Ice what's it gonna be? 

38 hard brothers stood and stared at me 

There were only two words that I had to say 

P-A-Y, B-A-C-K 

The car's loaded with a silence that could rape the dead 

Pistols clipped as the chamber's loaded full of lead 

Everyone in the crew knew what I said 

would mean by morning, somebody else soon would be dead 

Let's peel their caps back 

The cars at the corner like a long black snake 

Nightprowlin for a life to take 

Ya see down in the ghetto it's an eye for an eye 

That's the answer to the question why 

In my throat, there's a lump, then I swallow it, I ain't no chump 

Face of Death, then I cocked my pump 

I'm a nigga on the trigger, madder than a pitbull 

Just layin for a reason to pull 

on you, any duck motherfucker that gets in my way 

I'm insane, and my homeboy's death made me this way 

But then we spot him, Evil E shot him 

Dead in the face, made sure that he got him 

Others ran, but no mercy to the posse's wrath 

Automatic Uzi motherfuckin bloodbath 

Let's peel their caps back 

Let's peel their caps back 

Let's peel their caps back 

Then all of a sudden, a bullet came through my eye 

My dome exploded and I felt my other brothers die 

I drink my blood as I fell like shit into the street 

My corpse stunk like a burnt out rotten piece of meat 

Ten brothers died in this stupid homicidal binge 

Cause whenever someone dies, nobody wins 

But this drama, you'll never hear a word of 

cause all the paper's gonna read is a gang murder 

Gang murder
