Justice demands that the guilty must pay But Coke and his posse did not see it that way July 7th 2001 in came police And the killings begun The Shower posse arm to the teeth 3 days violence a lifetime of grief More drugs and more guns more money and power And No force or no army could take down the shower The police under fire some dying some dead Dinero o plomo , money or lead Dudus is hunted Kingston is beat They fight for the don they fight for the street Coke and his posse joined At the hip But unlike a captain he abandons his ship The battle is raging but he’s nowhere In sight Leaving his people he runs from the fight A month Or 2 later it’s the End of his gig As he’s Caught at the border wearing a wig Extradited to the US to serve 23 years And just like his farther it will all end in tears.
