(Slim Kid3)
|
The way that momma raised us was pure faith
|
So diablo wouldn't faze us or daze us
|
Or lay us down to sleep
|
Know the wolf from the sheep
|
Or the sheep who cried wolf
|
And threw the deadly hoof
|
While the wolf was asleep
|
I keep my mind a ghost
|
Follow my heart the most
|
Don't play fools too close
|
Sleep with my eyes at post
|
So Diablo won't be hostin the game of life
|
The knife sits by throats of the young
|
and blows death straight through the lungs
|
as the mind gets washed by visions of sugar plums
|
But we shall overcome cause we ain't dumb
|
but we ain't smart, they got the girls by the hearts
|
And the niggaz by the nuts
|
Ear, tongue and butts
|
Yeah, they're trying to fuck us up
|
but, shit, you know what's up
|
We gotta get with the movement
|
and move men soon
|
They consume every womb who bares
|
beneath the stairs of their doom
|
Best believe they're gonna shove em in a tomb
|
|
Chorus: repeat 4X
|
|
Cause Everytime I step to the microphone
|
I put my soul on 2" reels
|
That I don't even own
|

(Bootie Brown)
|
Early Saturday mornin I was cartoon gazin
|
slowly broke into the kitchen
|
to fill a bowl with some Raisin Bran
|
as I ran up and down the TV stations
|
I witnessed Indian Joe
|
getting tricked out of this nation
|
by a silly hillbilly
|
who laughed as the shit happened
|
Everything's the same
|
the game continued into rappin
|
Deception is at an all-time high
|
You give a piece of your soul
|
to receive some crumbs from the pie
|
But you know I keep on rappin til the break of dawn
|
even though it is my soul that I do not even own
|
|
Chorus: repeat 4X
|
|
(FatLip)
|
I was po', nlack and broke
|
beyond a shadow of a doubt
|
Ass-out, wide open waitin for my shit to come on out
|
Speakin about the time before I got signed
|
I was coolin behind Coolio in the County Line
|
My big brother used to say I was an asshole
|
didn't graduate, couldn't handle the hassle
|
of high school, why fool
|
wit' foolish rules and guidelines
|
fuck the cap and tassels
|
said forget the trade and tried rhymes
|
Hooked up with J-Swift, got with 2-4-2
|
me and my nigga L.A. Jay back at S.C.U.
|
I grab the MIC one-time
|
Check it, 1-2, we in
|
freakin' major flavors with my fellow Nubians
|
Takin shit to the next level
|
Too bad I sold my soul to the fuckin devil
|
