Duck Ya Head

{. Dred wake up.Dred wake up! .
 "A deep snow, was on the ground in Washington."
 [Dred Scott]
 Too slick; I pick a pocket even when it's under lock and key
 Most definitely got the flow so let me shoplift the show
 from under, the nose of the mediocre joker
 for the mic last week, yeah I was fiendin like a smoker
 On my way to the mall, yo what's the plan I can't call it
 He said, "How much ya got?" I'm pullin the lint out my wallet
 I said, "Nobody's home," he's lookin kinda funny
 realizin that I hadn't planned on spendin any money
 Seen a brand new au-dio Technic, a cordless mic
 He said, "You know we can't afford this," syke
 I accidentally picked it up, it accidentally fell in my pocket
 Whaddya know? I accidentally walked out the store
 Alarm went off, my knees were sore
 Security woulda been any second so we fled North
 Like runaway slaves to the parkin lot
 Got in the car, turned the key, but my shit wouldn't start
 [Chorus]
 So duck ya head they're rollin by, they're rollin by
 Ya gots to duck ya head they're rollin by, they're rollin by
 [Dred Scott]
 And while patrol was on the lookout for two crooks
 a-outta the car we snuck into the back of a truck and we was GONE.
 word is bond. {*harmonizing*
 . AIYYO!
 We made the getaway quick, I'm thinkin glory hallelujah
 The brother too slick a-but the story wasn't through
 You had to understand what was goin on inside my brain
 Now I had a hunger pain so I had to run my game
 at the local diner, where all of the honies rolled through yo
 Ordered everything we saw on the menu
 And you know damn well I couldn't afford what I ate
 Next thing you know yo, "THERE'S A ROACH ON THE PLATE!"
 Brother made a scene, carried out the scheme
 Fronted on the waiter and refused to pay the fee, later B
 I had to make a phone call
 to ask Big Moe to get my car from the mall
 And he would have to give it a jump start cause yo I couldn't risk it
 Next thing you know we're on the Boulevard in Linden
 No no no, not a row but if I done ya hoe
 went to the head and with the big bottle of rum
 goin straight to the brain cell the alcohol arrived
 Huh, avoided accidentally made a drunk driver
 to the local vocal joint, where the brothers flow yo
 We stumbled in and plugged the mic in, and you know
 that I had (?) what me I'm on it
 Say you're flowin it with the funk and yo you oughta turn the page
 and see the crowd gettin pumped, now the jealous wanna riff
 I felt the rum comin through me, so I had to take a piss
 In the bathroom, about to button up my fly
 Stick up kids, they out the corner of the eye
 Turned to my jacket, like I was packin
 For this three on one so you see the odds stackin up
 against me, up against the wall they fenced me
 with their backs to the door, so you know that they could not see
 Big Mo with Domino bust in
 And now it's Even Steven, three on three, so we rushed dem
 [Chorus]
 So duck ya head we're comin in, we're comin in
 Ya gots to duck ya head we're comin in, we're comin in
 Ya gots to duck ya head we're comin in, we're comin in
 Ya gots to duck ya head we're comin in, we're comin in
 [Dred Scott]
 AND, to make sure they wouldn't try that again
 Hit one in the head with a bottle of gin
 Seen the next one reach to go inside the coat
 I put my knee into the groin the elbow to the throat
 It happened so fast you couldn't think
 Hit the head of the third on the edge of the sink
 And after he fell out in my mind I had no doubt
 Took the wallets and the jewelry and we broke the hell out
 Leavin the scene of the crime, headed for home sweet home
 when the thought crossed my mind that I had left my microphone
 And me without a mic is like a brother with no function
 That's like (?) cop without the greed and the corruption
 and the crooked politician I was on my own mission
 He said, "Ya can't go back," but would I listen?
 I (?) in the facility at half past three
 Pullin up to the stoplight and who do we see?
 Stick up kids, they ten deep, rollin the other way
 Inside my head, I heard a little bitty voice say
 [Chorus]
 Duck ya head they're rollin by, they're rollin by
 Ya gots to duck ya head they're rollin.
 [Dred Scott]
 . but I guess I wasn't duckin low enough
 The jig was up, I floored the pedal on the ass
 The stick up kids they had a score to settle
 The shot-glass the broken glass and there goes the back window
 And with it went a very large piece of my shoulder
 My grill went into shock as I felt the car swerve
 About to get served on the choppin block
 A ring-a-ding-a-ling-a-ling alarm clock, wake up we gotta jet
 says my brother, I lay in the bed in a cold sweat
 Covered in my piss, a minor technicality
 Better to learn from this than to fuck with some reality
 Thinkin educatin over like a fat rat
 You'll always get caught in your own mousetrap
 [Chorus]
 So duck ya head they're rollin by, they're rollin by
 Ya gots to duck ya head they're rollin by, they're rollin by
 Ya gots to duck ya head they're rollin by, they're rollin by
 Ya gots to duck ya head they're rollin by, they're rollin by
 [Dred Scott]
 To the beat y'all duck it
 On the microphone gots to duck it, pluck it, duck it, pluckin
 like a chicken when I'm kickin what I'm stickin in ya ear
 More rhymes that you need to hear
 You find that I come off like this at the end with the beat
 Drop everything now you know that sounds sweet
 A dibbi-dip-dip-damn, so-so-socialize
 Yo what you sayin over there open up your eyes
 and see me doin it
