People Yo,
Worldwide,
Sup my nigga
You know what
Im saying
Dumb and blind... [Verse One: Black Thought]
They say a record aint nothing if its not touching
Gripping, draw you in closer make you want to listen to it
And if you real ill at making music
Then lessonll feel like you livin through it
Thats how my nigga do it
I met Slacks back in like 91 rapping
We went to
Millersville to get away from gun clappin
It aint last
I be in class dreaming bout 50,000 fans up in the stands screaming out
Encore, yo
Im headed back to
Philly Nigga you rollin with me?
Im trying to get busy
We walk dogs that was off the chain
Lot of times at the show people hardly came
I just took it in stride as part of the game
But inside people down with me started to change
It was a couple things
Lil ??, lil pills
Instead of driving out on the road you rather chill
I know the way the pleasure feel
Im not judging
But still
Im on a mission, yo
Im not buggin
I got fam that wont stop druggin
They cant sleep
They cant stick to one subject, they cant eat
Is people steady comin at me out in the streets
Like Riq yo wat up with your peeps it gets deep nigga [Chorus]
Yo, you need to walk straight, master your high
Son you missin out on was passing you by
I done seen the streets suck a lot of cats dry
But not you and
I my nigga
We got to get
Come on, over over the water
Come on, over over the water
Water, Water... [Verse Two: Black Thought]
Yo, we done made too many meals
A couple of deals
We done share clothes and wills
Killed mics and reels
We done rock
Shows abroad, and slept on floors
Trying to figga what the fuck we gettin slept on for
Oh why we walking with the rep up for
Waited by the cavity law
You know it if you came up poor my nigga
Picture a bus up north
You know we made of everything outlaws are made of
Im far from a hater
And I dont say
I love you cause the way
I feel is greater
In Illa you a poet son
You a ball creator
And this will probably dawn on you later
Is in you nature, letters all up in the wall like they made of paper
You got to find out where you talent take you
You might fuck around, finally make it
And thats real but yo [Chorus] [Verse Three: Black Thought]
Yo, I want you all to understand
I come from
South Philly
And when I walk the street is like a pharmacy
They got all type of shit
Anybody could get
It goes from
H to Ex To lucy ciggarette
For my ghetto legend
Known from
Lil shyst running
Cop codeine by the courts and keep comin
Dummy, just embracing the dope like its a woman
You burnin both sides of the rope and keep pullin
Tuggin, in between
Islam and straight tuggin
Laying everyday around the way and doin nothin
Seeem looking shaking their head and start shruggin
If they dont have a man like mine, they got a cousin
Hey yo you better be a true friend to em
Before the shit put an end to em
Or give a pen to em
Or lockem up in the studio with a mic
Cause on the real it might save his life
Keep tellinem [Chorus x2]
