Story Behind The Song

Before Dawn had some valuable music equipment stolen from them at a venue in Miami while on tour. With no other recourse, they(we)composed a rap song about the event. It made us feel a little better. Sales of the EP surpassed the value of the items stolen.

Song Description

Tongue and cheek rap song about getting robbed in Miami.

Lyrics

Some people just don't care 'bout hospitality
They'll take your stuff and sell it for their drug money
Cause not all people in this world are good you see
The lesson learned is, never go to Miami
We're just some artists who are tryin to play for you
We give it all we've got and we are kind of new
Happy not to be shot, it is sad but true
Don't worry about us, this is just our debut

Chorus: X 2
Robbed in Miami
I got robbed in Miami
Robbed in Miami
We got robbed in Miami

Well nic nac paddy whack, leave my shit alone
I can't call home cause, they stole my phone
I didn't see the guy so I guess he got away
That's Ok cause we're still gonna play
Paradise lost at terrible cost
Well it's hot down here, but I'm covered in frost
Walk'n round the club like I'm Mr. Magoo
Someone stole my gear and I don't know what to do
Throw'n a tantrum in the middle of the street
It's a wonder to me now that I'm not dead meat
Flip pin up my finger in the middle of the air
I don't call the cops, cause they just don't care

Now all of my stuffs being sold for crack
Thanks a lot Miami, I am never coming back

Chorus

Roberto?
Si?
Donde esta la computadora?
No se
Donde esta la maleta roja?
No se
Donde esta nuestras cosas?
No se

Welcome to the war zone, now go home
If you care for your life then don't stay here
You're treading on thin ice and full of fear
Welcome to paradise, they'll rob you here!

Welcome to the war zone, now go home
If you care for your life then don't stay here
You're treading on thin ice and full of fear
Bienvenidos a paraiso, they'll rob you here!
