[Intro: Al Pacino as Carlito]
Somebody's pulling me close to the ground
I can sense but i can't see
I ain't panicked
I've been here before
Same as when I got popped on 104th street
Don't take me to no hospital, please
Fuckin' emergency rooms don't save nobody
Sons of bitches always pop u at midnight
When all they got is a Chinese intern with a dull spoon
Oh look at these suckas scrambling around
What for?
My Puerto Rican ass ain't supposed to have made it this far
Most of my crew got washed a long time ago
Don't worry
My heart, it don't never quit
I ain't ready to check out
