Don't Go Out

"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"

Watch these - 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

- 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

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 - 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 - be fake

Dealin' with 'migos, - with plugs, these n-'ll take

Watchin' they're payin' attention for - they not gonna mention

You rich, you runnin' with henchmen

This - 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

Watch these - 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)

- 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)

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 - is the baddest

Water on your neck and wrist, you always come through splashin'

But to a hatin'-ass -, it sound like you braggin'

Mane, these streets is rotten, really can't trust nobody

- 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

Watch these - 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)

- 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
