[Big Daddy Kane]
|
Livin in the world of ghetto life
|
Shot with the gun, get you cut with the knife
|
That's the story yo, the way the peeps like to move
|
No fakin the funk, it's all about how to show and prove
|
Some get to make it through life livin legal
|
The others gotta try to survive, doin the evil
|
that men do, peace to every hood that I been through
|
I even got love for my homies in South Central
|
But to the East my brother, cause that's where I stay at
|
Runnin through the streets like a stray cat
|
Like that Good Times show it makes me go
|
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, hmmmmmmmmmm, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
|
Up in the projects, it gets no ILLER
|
With true gue-RILLAS, and stone cold KILLERS
|
It seems that every night, you get to hear the fireworks
|
As much as I hate, to see my people die or hurt
|
it's just a street mentality, a reality
|
Neighborhood warfare, that brings home casualties
|
And just because I moved out the residence
|
It don't mean that I can't represent
|
|
Chorus: Kane + "Yeah! Yeah!" -> chanted in back throughout
|
|
So to my peeps in the PJ's, throw your hands in the air
|
[Rick]"For all of y'all.."
|
Let me know you're out there
|
To my peeps in the PJ's, throw your hands in the air
|
[Rick]"For all of y'all.."
|
Let me know you're out there
|
And to my peeps in the PJ's, throw your hands in the air
|
[Rick]"For all of y'all.."
|
And let me know you're out there
|
Ah to my peeps in the PJ's, throw your hands in the air
|
[Rick]"For all of y'all.."
|
And let me know you're out there
|
|
[Big Daddy Kane]
|
I'm runnin mob deep around the way
|
It's me and the crew, we're tryin to map out the day
|
Yo what's the haps on how we gettin snaps?
|
Are we gonna shoot some cee-lo, or play a game of craps?
|
Matter fact, Shane, ring the intercom
|
And see if you can get ten dollars from my moms
|
Tell her to throw it out the window if she got it to spare
|
Cause the elevator's broke, and I ain't checkin for the stairs
|
And do me a solid, run to the store shorty
|
And pick me up some Olde E, but not a 40
|
Just a two-two of brew will do, so I can knock it out fast
|
to make the coldness last
|
|
[Scoob]
|
And while you at man see where'd your friend go (word)
|
He shoulda been back a HOUR ago with the indo (yeah)
|
|
[Big Daddy Kane]
|
And meet us in the back park to get sparked
|
So I can be toasted by time it gets dark
|
Aiyyo Jay, I see that bulge in the back of your jeans
|
Hope that's the God U Now, know what I mean?
|
Cause if somebody brings the noise, I'ma make it a silent movie
|
So take the safety off the toolie
|
Cause I don't want no beef, NAHHHHH BABY
|
The only thing I wanna do is PARRRRRRLAY
|
Peace and harmony is what I relate to
|
But damn man, drama's just in the nature
|
|
Chorus
|
|
[Big Daddy Kane]
|
I send this out to the homies in the hood
|
That stood by my side, to help a brother do good
|
Just like SWV you was Right Here
|
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah we in there
|
From all thugs that flex with all the muscle
|
down to the brothers, that got a swift hustle
|
Like good golly Miss Three Card Moll |
