[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
