[Intro:) [Chinese waitress (thick accent, friendly but pushy]: “Ay, you reay orda? Specia o-night — dim sum, Peking duck, hot pot? Wha you wan, boss? I get you meh-u? Egg rop sou?? Egg ro?” [I stay silent, eyes locked on the mark across the room… steam rising from the tables] He sees me… chair scrapes loud… footsteps pounding away... He's boltin'!... Damn, this piece of shit!.... I was hungry too, smells good... sorry gotta go... [Verse 1] Booth in the back on Wentworth Ave, red lanterns swingin’ Steam from the dumplings, whole spot smellin’ like soy and ginger Waitress still yappin’, thick accent, tryna take my order But I’m zeroed in — this Changsta sittin’ like he important Fool robs the old heads, snatches they last check every week Rapes the elderly in they own beds, leaves ’em broke and weak Sick shit, I’m here to fix it, hood low, non-Asian face He clocks me starin’, jumps up quick, table flips in his place [Hook] Run, changsta, run — you ain’t slippin’ past me tonight He dashin’ out the door, knockin’ carts left and right I’m up fast, no words, movin’ through the Chinatown night Zigzag through Wentworth, past the bakeries glowin’ bright Past the Gate on Cermak, Nine Dragon Wall watchin’ cold They all starin’ at the tall dude chasin’ one-o-dem , bold You prey on the grannies, now you the one feelin’ the fright Cornered on the roof, one look and you took flight [Verse 2] [Mark thoughts – panicked]: “Who the fuck this mutha fucka? He followin’ me? AHHHH!” I’m gainin’ ground, breath steady, no sweat on my face He cuttin’ through alleys by Chinatown Square, heart race Fire escape rattlin’, up we climb to the rooftop high Chicago skyline behind us, Ping Tom lights down by the river side He cornered at the edge, sweatin’, eyes wide like a deer I just stand there calm, no strap, no words — let him fear [Bridge] He backin’ up slow, trippin’ on the ledge, arms flailin’ wild One final scream echoes off the buildings, pure terror in his eyes “PLEASE DON’T—” too late, he trips… straight down… splat on the concrete Had to chase this bitch through the whole block for nothin’ Couldn’t even put hands on him, waste of my fuckin’ time But the job done clean — looked like suicide, no trace, no crime [Hook] Run, changsta, run — you ain’t slippin’ past me tonight He dashin’ out the door, knockin’ carts left and right I’m up fast, no words, movin’ through the Chinatown night Zigzag through Wentworth, past the bakeries glowin’ bright Past the Gate on Cermak, Nine Dragon Wall watchin’ cold They all starin’ at the tall dude chasin’ one-o-dem, bold You prey on the grannies, now you the one feelin’ the fright Cornered on the roof, one look and you took flight [Outro] I slip down the back stairs, hood low, blend back into the night Another evil gone, no fuss, no tie, streets sleepin’ quiet Frustrated I had to chase em… but damn, that trip made it easy Chinatown breathes easy… one less monster in the Chi Job done… I’m ghost! no more, dim sum run.
