From a Distance (feat. Jeru the Damaja) - Gang Starr

One day, one day, one day... One day about six 'o clock I'm woke up By the sound of my buzzer and a car or a truck Screechin' off, so I jump up, scratch my nuts But when I'm like "Who's that?" nobody speaks up So I go to the door, there's a note It says we have Hip-Hop hostage with guns to his throat Do the right thing and we might let him go But if you call the police, that's all she wrote You know what the motive is, it's all about dough And in case ya think we bullshittin' here's the photo I couldn't recognize the clowns 'cause they was all hooded down But I peeped Foxy Brown sippin' Cristal in the background With fake alligator boots on And smack dab in the middle was hip-hop with a Versace suit on I immediately called Primo, I said Hip-Hop is in trouble Meet me at my rest on the double Don't even jump in the shower Matta'fact scratch my rest meet me at D&D in an half an hour And bring all ya shit wit' you 'Cause you know what we got to do yo Afu! (Whassup?) lets jet-son like Elroy If I recall correctly I last saw hip-hop down at Bad Boy We'll see if Puff knows whassup Cuz he's the one gettin' him drunk and fuckin' his mind up We go to the office, he's nowhere to be found So we snatch up Jay Black and beat his bitch ass down Now where's Hip-Hop? A'ight, a'ight He confessed Suge came and took him from Puff last night He said he'd give him up if a real nigga came to retrieve 'em So we went to L.A. later that evenin' When we got there, everything was a'ight And we brought Hip-Hop back home that night One day
