Flashback .. Fast Forward

Came Up Empty .. They Had To Let Us Go

I never slowed my walking pace

to get his attention .. i'd looked hard at Rusty 

he'd seen i'd dropped something in his seat

i'd told him .. sinsimilla buds .. marijuana

hurry taxi driver dude .. hide it fast

i'd kept right on walking

towards the store's entrance

when four distinct sounds

of tires screeching to a halt

had surrounded me

i'd glanced back at Rusty

when i'd feinted throwing something

he'd been steadily moving .. still

in the back recesses of my mind

i'd sensed I was close to getting busted

the last few blocks i'd walked

i'd observed the four unmarked cars

with their headlights off .. shadowing me

what the cocky narcs never even realized

i'd been on the lookout .. observing them first

from the back doorsteps of my house

i'd seen their clumsy surveillance tactics

whilst they'd been slowly driving

around .. circles around my block

standing behind trees I wasn't seen

inbetween their sneaky rounds

i'd slipped away towards the levee

walked the other side .. near the river

one narc saw me as i'd crossed over

i'd begun zigzagging .. walking faster

I lost them after that

they'd picked me up again

after i'd to cross back over

I was a couple of short city blocks

from reaching the EZ-Pak store

fast forward .. my plan was working

to draw all their attention towards me

all the while Kilo was collecting

my eighty pounds of high grade pot

i'd stashed in a few rental houses

he'd be taking all of it

to a vacant rental house

a long way across town

meanwhile Rusty and I were in handcuffs

metro narcotic strike force's drug search

came up empty .. angry .. they'd to let us go
