|
'It's not that I don't love you' |
|
'You know how much I do' |
|
(Islord - over chorus) |
|
Yeah, Killa-Arm |
|
This one here's for the people (word up) |
|
To families livin in the ghetto |
|
Babies, right there witchu |
|
Peurto Rico (Japan, Africa) |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Make ya feel it, on the outside |
|
And make ya feel it, on the inside |
|
And make ya feel it.. |
|
(Islord) |
|
Have you ever seen a grown man cry? |
|
Have you ever asked a grown man why? |
|
Why do ya feel that way inside? |
|
Sometimes I had to swallow my pride and settle for less |
|
Lord don't settle for less, you more like the best |
|
To me, as I pull my head out my skully, |
|
and I give praise due to those who mean somethin to me |
|
Moms, you incredible, you raised me all by yourself |
|
Regardless of the situation, there was food in the shelf |
|
Pops, you abandoned me, you left me all alone |
|
In this cold warzone, I had to fence for my own |
|
My sister Candie, probably the only one that understands me |
|
Girl I love you to death, you never turned your back on me |
|
La-Familia sick, I wish I had the hands to heal you quick |
|
And rid you of a disease you livin with |
|
A young father, I've been blessed with two little girls |
|
You two jewels more precious than diamonds or pearls |
|
A part of me from a different perspective |
|
And any woman that I'm dealin with is gonna have to respect it |
|
On the outside there's negativity |
|
Please killa cause on the inside |
|
Me and my team'll make you feel it |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Make ya feel it, on the outside |
|
And make ya feel it, on the inside |
|
And make ya feel it, on the outside |
|
And make ya feel it, on the inside |
|
And make ya feel it.. |
|
(9th Prince - over chorus) |
|
Word up, |
|
It's like everyday, it's a struggle |
|
Like floatin in a bubble |
|
Burnin on the rocks, sticks and stones |
|
And all that.. |
|
Aiyyo, aiyyo |
|
Mom I'm suspended from school |
|
Boy I'm tired of your shit, black woman drivin the mothership |
|
Own the company witcha man, incorporate |
|
She told me I was handsome -- I know I look funny with big lips |
|
But that's the love she had for her son, the 9th Prince |
|
Forever you exist in my circumference |
|
You left my brain numbness, at night sometimes I cry |
|
Wipe the salty tears from my eyes, |
|
and feel lies, life's no job |
|
You caught up in the Beehive, |
|
but mom, ever since you been gone ain't nothin changed |
|
Rza got a new Range, I can't complain |
|
Them fake cats, stay in they lane |
|
Your grandaughter Angelica, is gettin bigger |
|
More figures I gotta spend on Princess Corinthia |
|
Pull LaVoyd pictures, back when fam was ghetto prisoners |
|
Let's all hold hands, and sing for the listeners |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Make ya feel it, on the outside |
|
And make ya feel it, on the inside |
|
And make ya feel it, on the outside |
|
And make ya feel it, on the inside |
|
And make ya feel it.. |
|
(Dom Pachino - over chorus) |
|
(It's not that I don't love you) |
|
Shit is just that real |
|
Knowwha'mean, shit is definately just that real |
|
(It's not that I don't love you) |
|
Comin up in the ghetto and shit |
|
You know, it's like sometimes ya just, |
|
Sometimes, ya'know |
|
It's like, it's like sometimes |
|
Sometimes I catch myself sittin back, |
|
scratchin the hair off my head |
|
Thinkin about where I'm at black |
|
Trapped in the worst part |
|
I geuss so son, shit is fucked up though |
|
The type of shit a young black man gotta go through, |
|
everyday of his life, no matter where we at |
|
They say we sell crack |
|
Yeah we do son, so what do you expect us to do about it |
|
I gotta eat, I ain't tryna starve for government |
|
I know you lovin it, got us like rats and lamps |
|
Just watchin us fade away, and it's sad |
|
Like a rainy day, so what the fuck the president gotta say... |
|
(Chorus to fade) |
