Song about a hitman or a hit or something, with a chorus like "Don't double cross the ones you love; Don't double cross the ones you need etc. etc."

Starts off:
A little shot...into the night
Spilling the colours of the neon light
Baxter(?)the hitman is driving with his crew
The baddest boys both born and raised in ....
They're looking for a man named Sweet Tyrone
......he was a friend
But is no more
He broke the main rule that controls the street
You don't mess with the ones you love
The ones you need

Chorus

Thanks very much.

Is there a name to the song, and can it be found on any collection?
