Shots, shots been fired Echo, echo through my Through my head at night The night, sirens and lights Loud and bright Shots, shots been fired Echo, echo through my Through my head at night The night, sirens and lights Loud and It's nothing new, it's a regular occurrence When the sun sets, that's when it worsens Nosy neighbours looking out curtains One story, too many versions When the feds come There's always a snitch in the bits describing a person IC3, well it might be me Bloodstains on my clothes, slugs raining on my foes Not a word on the way back, I got a flock-proof alibi For when man arrive, no bugger hype I ain't gotta boast or brag for stripes That aside, there's a whole lot of man inside Cause of a loose tongue, when they shoot guns When the boys in the blue come That's when the youts run Case in the making, dates are creating Crime Watch, I'm hot, my face is a painting Shots, shots been fired Echo, echo through my Through my head at night The night, sirens and lights Loud and bright Shots, shots been fired Echo, echo through my Through my head at night The night, sirens and lights Loud and He puts on his black gloves and balaclava Jets into the car, packing his Pradas Turns left to check if his partner is on God knows when To slam his heel down, bring the wheels round He gets the thumbs up, takes a deep breath Waits before taking the run up, leap step Into the estate with his hand kept between his legs Head down and knees bent so no one can see him He's back now up against the liquor in his teeth Closing his eyelids, sensing revenge within his reach The lift arrives, he gets inside, hits number 9 And quietly waits till the lift door opens wide I click on my pen, he wipes off his sweat I flick at a page, he draws back his TEC Nods three times, and before I can start on my verse I swear that I heard from my bedroom window something like Shots, shots been fired Echo, echo through my Through my head at night The night, sirens and lights Loud and bright Shots, shots been fired Echo, echo through my Through my head at night The night, sirens and lights Loud and Shots echoing through the night A bullet ricocheting off a wall Hits Paul right between the eye Takes his life, now he's dead Lying on the floor with a hole in his head What a way to go just for a loaf of bread A pack of milk and a pack of Marlboro reds Someone called the feds But it don't matter now, Paul's life is done It's over, dead And what's left? Does he still be alive if it weren't for his creps? If he weren't so obsessed about keeping them fresh? He never would have seen the dog shit and dodged it to his death Ten centimetres too far to the left Straight into the path of the bullet that's now lodged in his head Only went to the Tesco Express For cigarettes, milk and bread Now he's dead Shots, shots been fired Echo, echo through my Through my head at night The night, sirens and lights Loud and bright Shots, shots been fired Echo, echo through my Through my head at night The night, sirens and lights Loud and One red Ducati Monster 800's waiting at the red light Two black helmets, four black gloves matching the colour of the sky Both the helmets turned towards the Black 6-series stopped on the right Then two black Uzis come swinging out, bare red sparks fly Now red sickening liquid's dripping down the cream leather seats And the black victim's looking weak, unable to breathe with ease He never saw it coming, cause it all came out of the blue Hence black writing on yellow and blue boards Asking who heard of you? Shots, shots been fired Echo, echo through my Through my head at night The night, sirens and lights Loud and bright Shots, shots been fired Echo, echo through my Through my head at night The night, sirens and lights Loud and
