| [00:33.12] |
The way that momma raised us was pure faith |
| [00:44.25] |
So diablo wouldn't faze us or daze us |
| [00:46.80] |
Or lay us down to sleep |
| [00:47.43] |
Know the wolf from the sheep |
| [00:48.15] |
Or the sheep who cried wolf |
| [00:49.35] |
And threw the deadly hoof |
| [00:50.01] |
While the wolf was asleep |
| [00:51.54] |
I keep my mind a ghost |
| [00:52.47] |
Follow my heart the most |
| [00:53.76] |
Don't play fools too close |
| [00:54.30] |
Sleep with my eyes at post |
| [00:55.17] |
So Diablo won't be hostin the game of life |
| [00:56.70] |
The knife sits by throats of the young |
| [00:57.57] |
And blows death straight through the lungs |
| [00:59.73] |
As the mind gets washed by visions of sugar plums |
| [01:05.58] |
But we shall overcome cause we ain't dumb |
| [01:10.41] |
But we ain't smart, they got the girls by the hearts |
| [01:16.44] |
And the ******s by the nuts |
| [01:17.10] |
Ear, tongue and butts |
| [01:20.01] |
Yeah, they're trying to ****** us up |
| [01:26.58] |
But, ******t, you know what's up |
| [01:27.93] |
We gotta get with the movement |
| [01:28.89] |
And move men soon |
| [01:29.25] |
They consume every womb who bares |
| [01:30.42] |
Beneath the stairs of their doom |
| [01:31.53] |
Best believe they're gonna shove em in a tomb |
| [01:33.00] |
Chorus: repeat 4X |
| [01:33.78] |
Cause Everytime I step to the microphone |
| [01:36.72] |
I put my soul on 2" reels |
| [01:37.23] |
That I don't even own |
| [01:39.27][Bootie Brown] |
|
| [01:39.81] |
Early Saturday mornin I was cartoon gazin |
| [01:41.82] |
Slowly broke into the kitchen |
| [01:42.57] |
To fill a bowl with some Raisin Bran |
| [01:43.47] |
As I ran up and down the TV stations |
| [01:45.84] |
I witnessed Indian Joe |
| [01:46.68] |
Getting tricked out of this nation |
| [01:47.58] |
By a silly hillbilly |
| [01:48.18] |
Who laughed as the ******t happened |
| [01:49.17] |
Everything's the same |
| [01:50.04] |
The game continued into rappin |
| [01:50.94] |
Deception is at an all-time high |
| [01:52.62] |
You give a piece of your soul |
| [01:53.28] |
To receive some crumbs from the pie |
| [02:12.72] |
But you know I keep on rappin til the break of dawn |
| [02:17.31] |
Even though it is my soul that I do not even own |
| [02:18.42] |
Chorus: repeat 4X |
| [02:19.38][FatLip] |
|
| [02:19.86] |
I was po', black and broke |
| [02:20.64] |
Beyond a shadow of a doubt |
| [02:21.15] |
Ass-out, wide open waitin for my ******t to come on out |
| [02:22.20] |
Speakin about the time before I got signed |
| [02:27.42] |
I was coolin behind Coolio in the County Line |
| [02:28.80] |
My big brother used to say I was an asshole |
| [02:34.56] |
Didn't graduate, couldn't handle the hassle |
| [02:35.58] |
Of high school, why fool |
| [02:39.21] |
Wit' foolish rules and guidelines |
| [02:42.00] |
****** the cap and tassels |
| [02:42.87] |
Said forget the trade and tried rhymes |
| [02:46.20] |
Hooked up with J-Swift, got with 2-4-2 |
| [02:47.43] |
Me and my ****** L.A. Jay back at S.C.U |
| [03:11.55] |
I grab the MIC one-time |
| [03:13.98] |
Check it, 1-2, we in |
| [03:14.70] |
Freakin' major flavors with my fellow Nubians |
| [03:15.99] |
Takin ******t to the next level |
| [03:17.10] |
Too bad I sold my soul to the ****** devil |
| [03:21.48] |
