|
Uhh, yeah |
|
Another one of those |
|
This is for my nigga Q |
|
Down to earth joints |
|
Rest in peace, baby |
|
You're not for me dawg |
|
That's how many that don't know |
|
They knew I could do it |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
(This goes out to my nigga Q) |
|
(Rest in peace, baby) |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
(They still ain't ready) |
|
What they don't know is |
|
The bullshit, the drama, the guns, the armour |
|
The city, the farmer, the babies, the mama |
|
The projects, the drugs, the children, the thugs |
|
The tears, the hugs, the love, the slugs |
|
The funerals, the wakes, the churches, the coffins |
|
The heartbroken mothers, it happens, too often |
|
The problems, the things, we use, to solve 'em |
|
Yonkers, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Harlem |
|
The hurt, the pain, the dirt, the rain |
|
The jerk, the fame, the work, the game |
|
The friends, the foes, the Benz, the hoes |
|
The studios, the shows, comes and it goes |
|
The jealousy, the envy, the phony, the friendly |
|
The one that gave 'em the slugs, the one that put 'em in me |
|
The snakes, the grass, too long, to see |
|
The lawnmower, sittin', right next, to the tree |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
What we seein' is |
|
The streets, the cops, the system, harrassment |
|
The options, get shot, go to jail, or getcha ass kicked |
|
The lawyers, the part, they are, of the puzzle |
|
The release, the warning, "Try not, to get in trouble" |
|
The snitches, the odds, probation, parole |
|
The new charge, the bail, the warrant, the hole |
|
The cell, the bus, the ride, up north |
|
The greens, the boots, the yard, the hearts |
|
The fightin', the stabbin', the pullin', the grabbin' |
|
The riot squad with the captain, nobody knows what happened |
|
The two years in a box, revenge, the plots |
|
The twenty-three hours that's locked, the one hour that's not |
|
The silence, the dark, the mind, so fragile |
|
The wish, that the streets, would have took you, when they had you |
|
The days, the months, the years, dispair |
|
One night on my knees, here it comes, the prayer |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
This here is all about |
|
My wife, my kids, the life that I live |
|
Through the night, I was his, it was right, but I did |
|
My ups, and downs, my slips, my falls |
|
My trials and tribulations, my heart, my balls |
|
My mother, my father, I love 'em, I hate 'em |
|
Wish God, I didn't have 'em, but I'm glad that He made 'em |
|
The roaches, the rats, the strays, the cats |
|
The guns, knives and bats, everytime we scrap |
|
The hustlin', the dealin', the robbin', the stealin' |
|
The shit, hit the ceilin', little boy, with no feelin's |
|
The frustration, rage, trapped inside a cage |
|
Got beatin's 'til the age, I carried a twelve gauge |
|
Somebody stop me, somebody come and get me |
|
Little did I know, that the Lord was ridin' with me |
|
The dark, the light, my heart, the fight |
|
The wrong, the right, it's gone, aight? |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
They don't know, who we be |
|
Man listen |
|
(They don't know, who we be) |
|
These motherfuckers don't know, who we are |
|
They don't know |
|
(They don't know, who we be) |
|
They couldn't possibly fuckin' know dawg |
|
That's from the heart |
