Yeah, you better watch the situation that you get involved in |
|
You might get involved with the wrong people |
|
Get into a situation you might can't get yourself out of |
|
Dig a hole you can't climb out |
|
You know what i'm saying |
|
Get in it too deep |
|
Chorus x2 |
|
I'm in it too deep to get on out |
|
They always told me death was the only way out |
|
I'm sitting up all night |
|
I can never rest my head |
|
How will my family take it if i ended up dead |
|
(lord infamous) |
|
There was a man who approached me every night |
|
I was resting fast asleep |
|
He traveled deep into my mind |
|
And he promised me power beyond my wildest dreams |
|
He said he could take me away from the suffering |
|
Begging and our poverty |
|
So i had to agree |
|
There's one catch, i must worship him throughout the centuries |
|
But i really didn't know any better |
|
I'm tired of the pain and koop taught me running |
|
He gave me the things he promised to me |
|
But i cannot leave i will suffer forever |
|
I'm tired of his wrong |
|
All of his powers are much to strong |
|
Oh so bad i want to move on |
|
But if i do my sould is gone |
|
Lions from the cages |
|
Saw you murderers, adulterers, and thieves |
|
What you don't know is that |
|
You're walking in the same shoes with me |
|
(koopsta knicca) |
|
Nothin' but a man says forseekin' that's all i see |
|
Is he close to me |
|
Said is she victoria secret |
|
Hells of the air with the smells of a prayer |
|
Bled right here with a stale bud |
|
Doggystyled in a chair |
|
Turned him on his stomach |
|
Cash his money for the motions |
|
If you ready for mystic (?) |
|
Koop finna come a little bit closer |
|
Rolled him over just before a sound went pop |
|
Then i reached for my heart |
|
Oh my god koopsta just been robbed |
|
I hope you feel me |
|
I'm laying naked lookinn' at the ceiling |
|
In bloody red |
|
Just same old same for the koopsta |
|
Chorus |
|
(gangsta boo) |
|
I'm in it too deep to escape this kind of drama |
|
That costs playa hatas and fakers |
|
That equals problems |
|
Today and day in time |
|
You can't read nobody's mind |
|
These smiles turn to frowns |
|
When they see a playa on the rise |
|
On top of the world |
|
Just a looking down and laughing at'cha |
|
I never be bothered like 2pac |
|
I ain't mad at'cha |
|
So baby beware |
|
This game of life is like do or die |
|
It's hell on this earth |
|
The only thing that's missing is the fire |
|
Come on baby tell me |
|
Is it something that your eyes can't see |
|
Or are you jsut blind to the fact that you in it too deep |
|
(juicy "j") |
|
Yeah i know what ya mean |
|
I had to stand on my ground |
|
To give them the scene |
|
Just me and my brotha down in the struggle |
|
Then i serve 'em to the fiends |
|
And after dark |
|
Deep in the park |
|
The dope up fiends |
|
We start to light the pipe all through the night |
|
I use to wonder will god |
|
Please help the poor come up on their feet |
|
Cause ther was nothing to eat |
|
Didn't want to jack or rob |
|
A brotha had to maintain the streets |
|
Up in the projects wasn't no flodgin' |
|
Cuase i was trying to get out who can you trust |
|
I had to be tough |
|
I never ran my mouth |
|
Me and the crew would constantly hit the brew |
|
A natural high |
|
How can you make it in this world but to try |
|
(dj paul) |
|
1991 was the year |
|
901 was the area code |
|
38116 was the zip code of all the roads we road |
|
Now let my story be told |
|
A young boy dropping out of school house |
|
But not to learn off in the 10th grade |
|
Try to come up at last |
|
Like a doe |
|
Outcast off all them songs i done made |
|
Bump my undergound tapes up and down the hall |
|
To dj paul was no damn things |
|
But to my dogs tony and shysta |
|
Asked me to join a gang that ain't even made |
|
But hanging around them fools |
|
I had to get down and join the click see |
|
Cause i made so many enemies |
|
>from clicks off in my city |
|
Now if i told ya what gang it was |
|
Then you i will seem more down |
|
But if i told ya what gang i'm in |
|
I can only do a show off in my own town |
|
But it's all to the good |
|
Much love to the thugs an my good |
|
And in my set much respect |
|
I wit'cha for life that cha can bet |
|
We lights one up tonight |
|
Chorus |
