Dead ‘em on these nightmare on elm street
45 magnum in the Jeep Cherokee
Swords tucked under the hoodie
Knives in the my hands and sleeve
Walking to the spot with some bogeys on me
Straight jacket hacksaw match wits
With cats on the stoop staring at me and Rey
They holler “ayyo Jay Magnum”“Rey Tosim”
I respond just Cagney and lace em
They start stalking and slow walking after us
Ready to bust thinking we trespassing
I dead zone ask em this ain’t “purge night”
We can dust off with the friendlies
I’m willing and ready
Then I get a text homie been popped
“Don’t go to the spot theirs 5-0waiting”
We dip back to the whip
Got a “burn notice” on us
Start it up with no lights on
See a dark caddy pull up next to me at the light
Buck a few through miss is by inches
I’m in a pinch tires get hit
We abandon ship dip back postal code loaded
Hit homes, can I crash at your crib
Rey and I hit the streets like we running track meet
Going down Dark alleys being chased by killers with blades
Masked up machete things with black hoodies on
Dipping like we flying the red eye
I’m asthmatic so I’m outta breath
Gotta find a spot where I can rest
Drop my blades down the sewer
So we can make maneuvers
Dip thru my mans basement unseen
Saw flashing lights down the block
Not picking up for “no caller I’d”
Had a feeling we was being watched like swamp thing
Hearing alarms saw some dead rising gone with the wind
Seen my man try and snatch steal our lives
Started throwing tables
Tanking out the wall electrical cables
Finally broke some windows
Rey went first and broke his ankle
I went second clipped my wrist like a suicide
We ran thru kept going til with hit a wall
Couldn’t climb couldn’t run and hide til we just died
Idle hands made for bad plans
We just wanted chronic so we can be bionic
Instead we end up cut up on the floor…


Except I didn’t want the chronic, I wanted to study the strain laced with something godly, both Jay and I heard stories, Rey kept the cellular close to his body charged up like a battery in case of emergency, beep Kathleen from where we lay still dizzy from the fall, say something along the lines
of, where in the fuck are you? We’re bleeding and it’s bad sun, you already got the location so why are you waiting? Magnum’s wrist watch ticks, his blood accumulates into a pool just as steady, I disconnect the phone call and mutter, hurry up, my twisted ankle dangled pain shot up from that area I crawled or could have tried hopping but I just wanted to get my boy to stop bleeding, my only injury hindered me greatly but his wounds were grave deep, if we could only hold out until Kathleen came we may not have to bury Jay, today was unrelenting, relentless, the chase continued, to progress, then the sing song of birds chirping wake me up from a dream, starting to slip into unconsciousness from the pain, surface long enough to hear the young God talk, Rey, why is it so dark? Close enough to peep the kids watch, eleven o’ clock, didn’t know what to tell ‘em, because its night out and we're hiding like night owls in this basement? From outside the window I heard what could have been mistaken for movement, glass blew open so the wind could be felt when it set the air in motion, colder than cuts, a silhouette appeared near the brush, a thin black shadow walked to us hunched, one followed behind it that was much more stout, it was Kathleen and George Stark, I shut my eyes and thought.
