Lyrics

[00:01.39] Uhh uhh
[00:03.17]
[00:04.13] Uhh uhh uhh No idea's original
[00:08.43]
[00:08.95] There's nothin' new under the sun
[00:10.59] It's never what you do but how it's done
[00:12.79] What you base your happiness
[00:13.89] Around material women
[00:14.84] And large paper that means you inferior
[00:17.13] Not major No idea's original
[00:19.42] There's nothin' new under the sun
[00:21.27] It's never what you do but how it's done
[00:23.22] What you base your happiness
[00:24.38] Around material women
[00:25.94] And large paper that means you inferior
[00:27.90] Not major Look inside my mind you'll find
[00:30.42]
[00:31.21] Where bodies are buried
[00:32.38] First look past the hotties who dimes
[00:34.17] Go to the center enter with caution
[00:35.57] Past the braincell graveyard
[00:36.76]
[00:37.28] Where weed's responsible for memory loss
[00:38.79]
[00:39.32] Let's witness the horrific
[00:40.52] The stench'll make you nauseous
[00:42.07] See what I seen every day
[00:43.64] I live with this torture Lightin'
[00:45.16] Up to stay high like 24 hours
[00:47.32] Sleep with my wash with my in the shower
[00:49.36]
[00:49.96] My tongue is power
[00:50.89] It thrills women kills demons
[00:52.49] Long as I'm still breathin'
[00:53.77] I'm still winnin' I'll teach 'em
[00:55.10] The hood converted from trey bags to 20's a girl
[00:57.48]
[00:58.02] Everybody had money every summer was real ill
[01:00.84] Four-finger rings dealers
[01:02.70] No half steppin' with flat tops when Rakim reigned
[01:06.12] Radios on card tables Benetton the Gods buildin'
[01:08.80] Ask for today's mathematics we Allah's children
[01:11.13]
[01:11.73] And this was goin' on in every New York ghetto
[01:14.14] Kids listened five percenters said it's pork and Jell-o
[01:16.86] We coincide we in the same life
[01:18.44] Maybe a time difference
[01:19.32] On a different coast
[01:20.62] But we share the same sunlight
[01:22.01] Your part of the world
[01:23.26] Might be like colors and gangs
[01:24.85] While on my side brothers'll for different things
[01:27.29] But it all revolve around fame and shorties
[01:29.66] Stuck for your bling
[01:31.11] Stripped for your chain the same story
[01:32.91] From Czechoslovakia to Texas metropolis
[01:35.59] Them treacherous rocksters in the Mexican mafias
[01:38.16] Be scrappin' with tats on they back violent wars
[01:41.04] Nothin' less than a lethal injection if ever caught
[01:43.51] Courtrooms eagles and flags
[01:45.32] American style While in our world
[01:47.32] The ghetto stays incredibly foul
[01:48.85] Watchin' for paint chips
[01:50.02] Don't want no led in yo' child
[01:51.64] But them gangstas put lead
[01:52.77] In yo' child the bezzy be out
[01:54.42] The chain be like a hundred K
[01:55.93] Shinin' since Roxanne Shante' made
[01:57.84] 'Runaway' that's been a minute
[01:59.74] Genesis is deep my features are that of a God
[02:02.13] It's not a facade it's a fact
[02:03.49] These rappers wanna be Nas
[02:04.51] My Exodus doesn't exist
[02:05.87] I'll never leave the streets it's all in my mind
[02:08.21] Even with sleep I'm duckin' in my dreams
[02:09.56]
[02:10.10] Sirens wide awake why'd I think it would change
[02:13.07] Can't hide when you famous
[02:14.16] Or even try to do the same things like
[02:16.04] Somebody's always watchin' my life
[02:18.26] Before I walk out the door I size up every option
[02:21.09] Eyes cut every direction
[02:22.25] It's like God or guns
[02:23.46] Which is better protection
[02:24.30]
[02:24.91] Can't decide that's a hard one
[02:27.02] I mean they wanna see me in prison
[02:28.58] The chains bamboozled
[02:29.61] Headline readin' 'Rapper Slain From a Man'
