Song | Part Of The Plan - Album Version (Explicit) |
Artist | Swizz Beatz |
Album | One Man Band Man |
Tryin’ hard to speak and | |
Fightin’ with my weak hand | |
Driven to distraction | |
So part of the plan | |
When somethin’ is broken | |
And you try to fix it | |
Tryin’ to repair it | |
Anyway you can | |
The time was the late 80's | |
Every block had a stray dog with rabies | |
Fiends threw away their crack babies | |
Arguin’ with my brother to see who pick the mouse up | |
Walk by, open up the oven door to heat the house up | |
Everyday, police would swarm | |
Comin’ home from school, your brains on your uniform | |
I wish I could fly away on a unicorn | |
I'm from the ghetto and everyday a human’s born | |
So who cares if | |
I'm stretched out on the scene? | |
Surrounded by homicide forensic team | |
Yellow tape, haters glad that | |
I'm deadPedestrians walkin’ by and they just shakin’ their heads saying | |
Tryin’ hard to speak and | |
Fightin’ with my weak hand | |
Driven to distraction | |
So part of the plan | |
When somethin’ is broken | |
And you try to fix it | |
Tryin’ to repair it | |
Anyway you can | |
What's hot, what's not, what should, what shouldn't be | |
Come on y'all who to say what couldn't be? | |
Look at me, | |
I'm nicest not the iciest | |
Sometimes | |
I wake up and ask | |
God, who life this is? | |
I look at these eyes, | |
I'm only in this body | |
If you only could understand the vision that | |
I carryWhite actors will be like | |
Puff Daddy when he interned | |
Men play with fire, men get burned | |
To talk about this, the only thing | |
I earnedI can rap, | |
I’m talkin’ about killin’ you like this | |
Or puttin’ a hole in your head the size of that | |
But that would be cheatin’ myself and | |
I can't do that, man | |
Tryin’ hard to speak and | |
Fightin’ with my weak hand | |
Driven to distraction | |
So part of the plan | |
When somethin’ is broken | |
And you try to fix it | |
Tryin’ to repair it | |
Anyway you can | |
Man, it all ends up on a back street | |
In abandoned buildings where the crack heads meet | |
All you hear is and lighters flicking | |
Busy smoking, baby dead, rat poison in the kitchen | |
They so high, walkin’ by, thinkin’ she asleep | |
Don't even put her in the crib, just cover her with a sheet | |
This is me in the building 17 with the bundles and a gun up on me | |
And I shoot any nigga run up on me | |
And for 2 years my momma lookin’ for me | |
Cryin’, runnin’ up on other kids thinkin’ it's me | |
By now I ain’t got no heart | |
Nigga, I'm a gang member, suited up and | |
I’m ready to start | |
Tryin’ hard to speak and | |
Fightin’ with my weak hand | |
Driven to distraction | |
So part of the plan | |
When somethin’ is broken | |
And you try to fix it | |
Tryin’ to repair it | |
Anyway you can |
Tryin' hard to speak and | |
Fightin' with my weak hand | |
Driven to distraction | |
