[00:01.15]
[00:03.87] Sometimes because of jealousy and the intent to demise
[00:06.68] Certain factions have to be forbidden or destroyed
[00:09.90] Fire has to be sent to the poisoned forest
[00:13.03] With the root of fresh trees planted elsewhere
[00:16.11] Only then will you obtain a wilderness
[00:19.18] That cannot be penetrated, petrified - family tree
[00:23.09] See what started as a family forest got cut
[00:25.89] To a family tree with the limbs and the leaves
[00:28.52] Looking' at the world for answers; the world points to the sun
[00:31.70] And the sun says the answers in me
[00:33.70] So I search through the darkness, can't find the key
[00:36.42] So we locked in the land of the lost; Lord, please
[00:39.01] Tomorrow ain't promised to you nor me
[00:41.51] So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees
[00:44.14] Many minds always meet with pens and sheets
[00:46.67] Close my eyes, think what next on my rhymes, see this face in ink
[00:49.58] I'm havin' visions of wisdom, dreamin' 'bout my own ending
[00:53.06] Am I seein' death as freedom and livin' as prison
[00:55.21] My son didn't have a daddy to shape him
[00:57.19] So God bless him with a daddy to save him, Yeah, I raise him
[01:00.15] And pay some attention, he talked and he listened
[01:02.50] To reach him and teach him fefore I'm gone from existence
[01:05.21] Teach him 'bout the foes, the ho's and all opponents
[01:07.76] Those that always talk 'bout love but never showed it
[01:10.34] Those who had the chances to stand and always blowed it
[01:12.98] Those that set you up by the hour to steal your moment
[01:15.72] Pac the word is you ain't there so fuck the rumor
[01:18.45] I'll get a pound of that shit from Bermuda and meet you in Cuba
[01:21.04] Fucked up on Larusa no doubt, I know the locale
[01:23.63] If they gotta born you, I'm gonna mourn you 'til I join you
[01:26.30] See what started as a family forest got cut
[01:28.72] To a family tree with the limbs and the leaves
[01:31.27] Looking' at the world for answers; the world points to the sun
[01:34.47] And the sun says the answers in me
[01:36.32] So I search through the darkness, can't find the key
[01:38.90] So we locked in the land of the lost; Lord, please
[01:41.60] Tomorrow ain't promised to you nor me
[01:44.25] So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees
[01:46.85] Uhh, and now I know I got some family
[01:49.29] Who missed me from the heart, forever we're apart
[01:52.20] Just because I'm nothin' and you abuse me and use me
[01:54.64] Now you wanna try to go bruise me
[01:56.44] And even though maybe we'll end up farther than it once was
[01:59.88] I know family don't always mean that they blood, cause
[02:02.81] Some people just don't give a nigga what
[02:04.16] Some people tried to use my name so all the fat we had to cut
[02:08.12] And I'm still walking with my six amp strut
[02:10.07] Urban eyes see through camouflage and now I know who's butt
[02:12.94] So when I sent you tried to play me, all of a sudden now I'm shady
[02:15.63] Maybe deep down in my heart, never trust you from the start
[02:18.39] Never hoped you'd be my homie, don't come 'round my way
[02:20.63] And if we never speak again, it's got to be that way
[02:23.15] This millennium, we'll be spankin' your heiny
[02:25.54] Remind thee Naughty invented family of the 90's
[02:29.14] See what started as a family forest got cut
[02:31.37] To a family tree with the limbs and the leaves
[02:33.87] Looking' at the world for answers; the world points to the sun
[02:37.15] And the sun says the answers in me
[02:39.05] So I search through the darkness, can't find the key
[02:41.76] So we locked in the land of the lost; Lord, please
[02:44.33] Tomorrow ain't promised to you nor me
[02:47.01] So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees
[02:49.54] Life doesn't end when the sweat dries
[02:52.20] A time when a nickle cost a dollar, when you rise, your chest dies
[02:55.75] My dynasty many fear it 'cos I'm near it
[02:57.29] Ancient Egyptian scriptures fitted in through hyroglyphics
[03:00.15] Motherfuckers try to touch my mental state
[03:02.62] Niggas smile up in your face and then they infiltrate
[03:05.15] So it seems nowadays that the only plan
[03:07.76] To get my people help my people get a load of land
[03:10.32] And I'ma see it if I have to kill some shit
[03:12.99] To make my family tree a motherfucking wilderness
[03:15.68] See a black man standin' on the promised land
[03:18.25] Since they broke every promise, I devised a plan
[03:20.83] This black this and black that crap is gettin' touchy
[03:23.48] Any black hat that cross my path, I call him lucky
[03:26.44] Those who turn they back with they fears and try to D us
[03:29.07] Before they can see us they gonna need a sweet Jesus
[03:31.80] See what started as a family forest got cut
[03:34.44] To a family tree with the limbs and the leaves
[03:36.64] Looking' at the world for answers; the world points to the sun
[03:39.75] And the sun says the answers in me
[03:41.72] So I search through the darkness, can't find the key
[03:44.42] So we locked in the land of the lost; Lord, please
[03:47.08] Tomorrow ain't promised to you nor me
[03:49.68] So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees
[03:52.54] See what started as a family forest got cut
[03:54.87] To a family tree with the limbs and the leaves
[03:57.58] Looking' at the world for answers; the world points to the sun
[04:00.96] And the sun says the answers in me
[04:02.61] So I search through the darkness, can't find the key
[04:05.24] So we locked in the land of the lost; Lord, please
[04:07.94] Tomorrow ain't promised to you nor me
[04:10.58] So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees
