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
