I write rhymes for rehearsal / But first chill, I gotta little story to tell ya / How I almost caught a bad one / Add one to the list of 2,000 and 1 stupid things to do / I had crew when they stepped at a party / Hardly even known I own a Smith & Wesson / But it's resting at home in a shoe box / They see crews jock / So they wanna step and take the rep I got / I said 'Wait a second check inside my coat for a shank' / They must be imagining that I'm money in the bank / They'll get spanked / Cause I'm not the nigga / I got bigga brothers waiting in the bushes / to mush kids / I talk when I wanna talk / never silence / violence erupts when I clown ya / Catch a beat down ya / Cause I never back away from niggas / Even if you gotta pistol / I dare ya pull the trigga / but that's suicide / either you must die / or I must / so why bust me / cause I'm guilty / of being in the wrong place at the wrong time / Comin' at ya in the wrong state of mind / I'm now in a hurry / A pow when a flurry of bullets come speeding by / I needn't die / I gotta make tracks and take back my words / I eat 'em / Cause everybody knows I didn't beat 'em

Chorus

Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, at the wrong time
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time

I'm out on the town / I don't frown at people / Cause they tend to get offended / And then the heat will / Be on my ass / I got class / Never out of line/ cause / I'm standing here without a nine / Pistols I wish will not blast me / Task be circlin' corners lookin' for Warners / You know the Brothers / Me & you / We didn't do shit / But we get hassled / Because we crew & we rollin' / This is my car / It isn't stollen / I hope you catch a slug straight in your colon / When ya walkin' the beat / I bet ya gotta sheet hangin' up in ya closet / Fuck this law shit / But there is two laws to follow, you know / There is laws of the city and there's laws of the ghetto / I go to clubs with a smile on my face / just in case niggas look and wanna wild in the place / Cause of jealousy / Del is me / only me / Niggas walkin' in poppin' shit / That's who the phonies be /
Peep it one night / And you'll see it it's quite clear / Since we all know now / That's why we're / Never in the wrong place at the wrong time

Chorus

Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time

Damn, I hate cops! / I need to bust they chops / Always gettin' props for the niggas they pop / Peep / I smoke weed / Get weeded / Cause I need it to calm my nerves before a pig get bleeded
I got busted for less than a gram of hash / They wanna cram my ass in the slammer / That punk po-po / bringin' back hash from Amsterdam is a no-no / I didn't know they would catch me
Punk mutt fetch me / Stretched me out at customs / Gotta bust 'em / I can't call it / they found it in my wallet / Now customs got me / And I just can't stall it / I wish they would leave me alone / Dog lookin' at me like feed me a bone / He might bite me / Very likely / They had to strike me with a fine or time / I said fine / Mines was 500 bones for a gram of hash / My mind was blown / Come back to Michigan / So we can pitch again / Federal offense / Now I better go and convince the judge

Chorus

Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, at the wrong time
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
