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] |

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 |

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 |

Before they can see us they gonna need a sweet Jesus |
