G-$tack

The collaboration of Don Reynolds and Bob Mair, G-$tack's old-school reality rap sound has been a favorite of underground hip-hop fans since the early aughts. Not unlike their contemporary St. John, G-$tack's following gained momentum after their songs were heard on hit TV shows such as Prison Break, The Wire, Dexter, Entourage, and many more. Mair's prolific and versatile skill as producer and co-composer forms the foundation on which the hard-hitting poetry and powerful voice of Reynolds solidly stands—and stands the test of time.

A Date With Angels

A DATE WITH ANGELS

Time is running out, I feel it slippin' away
time is running out, I see it in my dreams every night
I can't get away from it

Chorus
It's getting' hard to stay alive
The streets are full of blood tonight
An' everything is down to fate
You can't go back 'cos it's too late
Now brother's gone and mama's cryin'
Seems like everybody's dyin'
I know they're comin' for me
But I'm not ready – for a date with angels
A date with angels – a date with angels

Verse 1
I see death around the corner
I can't delete it
The Vision repeats over and over
There's no reprieve.. Click!!
Another round in the chamber...OOOOh!
Everytime I make a move
I feel my burning fuse

See the homey's over there creepin'?
The last two nights they been trying to catch a brother sleepin'
Didn't see 'em?
Na, I ain't tripping
That's why no matter where I go I keep the clip in
With the safety off
They tryin' to pick me off
They say I'm off
But I ain't never been soft

The game 'a make you go crazy
The hood's full 'a wannabe gangstas
Or they tryna be Jay Z
I only did it cause it pays me
Had an exit plan
But now I can't see SQUEEZE!
Cause I'm tired of runnin'
Dog I know it's comin'
I see death around the corner!

Repeat Chorus

She was 13 and I was 22
Used to holla at her when she went to school
She was enthralled with the streetlife
As a G I kept my knot right
Kept the product for them pipes
Told youngin' "Get ya mind right shortie. Betta stay out these streets!"
"Cause messin' wit' 'da street life
It'll get you caught up
Hunger combined with jealousy It'll get you buck Bucked!
Like you never was
You a Pup!
There's Killas out here and they don't give a What!!

She didn't listen man she did her thang
Two weeks ago they found her and her Thuggy slain!

Repeat Chorus
