Drove down to Mexico for a while yea
Went there for business, I never cracked a smile
Met my connection, everything seemed right
Headed back to Brooklyn in the dead of the night
Had a feeling something wasn`t right
Locked in my mirror, oh no, its flashing lights
Busted at the border
Busted
Looks like I`m doin` time
Long time long time
Busted at the border
Busted
Looks like goodbye to daylight
Eight hours later still sitting in the jail
Charged with possession, I can`t make the bail
I called my lawyer, he said your on your own boy
I got busted at the border
Busted
Looks like I`m doin` time
Long time long time
Busted at the border
Busted
Looks like goodbye to daylight
Finally saw the judge, he was lookin` mean
He said my type don`t belong on the streets
Now I`m doin` twenty, maybe out in ten again
Busted at the border
Busted
Looks like I`m doin` time
Long time long time
Busted at the border
Busted
Looks like goodbye to daylight
