Description:
I might change the vocals later to be more "Rage Against the Machine". Pretty set on the instrumentalsLyrics:
What can I say?Life is good in the hood. We ain’t rich But we don’t got much trouble. Well, ‘cept late at night When mom and dad fight But I guess that’s just Acceptable. And out in the street Where the kids would meet There were gangs There were drugs There were thugs and all But everyday I’d avoid them Again and again Grab all my friends, Go play some basketball. What can I say? Wasn’t no Beverly Hills But I still got my fill, On my own free will until Daddy died cuz he had fallen ill And we tried and we tried But we couldn’t pay the bill. Momma said “it’s all right Everything will be fine.” But I knew she was lyin’ Heard her in the bathroom cryin. With so many demands Took it into my own hands Got a job on the side: Underpayed overtime. I began to see the dark side of life My sister got mugged And my best friend knifed. Lay in bed, eyes closed At the end of the day Hopin’ when I’d open them It would all go away. I’m a gangsta Drug-ringleader You don’t wanna mess with me I got a soft side but it’s one you won’t see it’s hidden with my Identity. I’m a gangsta Drug-ringleader Gotta keep my life low key and my family away from me I love ‘em but it’s for their own Safety. So I sold my conscience To the street When I failed To make ends meet Took every penny Every dime. Makin’ money Ain’t a crime Before I knew, I hit it real big My friend and I We pulled a gig. I slipped out clean But he was shot. Killed by a cop Was all he got. Another guy He was to blame: He sold his loyalty away Next day I killed him in his garage- The price to pay For sabotage. And out in the street Where the kids would meet There were gangs There were drugs There were thugs and all But they respected me Like an O.G. When I started Bringin’ in the money. From then on out I was raising hell. They followed me And knew me well. Things were goin’ great: A turn of fate And that was when I met Michelle. Sweet summer sweat Best girl yet A silhouette With a cigarette She was the kind of girl That you never forget A perfect body A cool brunette. Outside and in From soul to skin The one that makes you wonder Baby where you been? I was obsessed But she’d contest Said I had to quit the gang It was for the best. And I knew I could I really should But I couldn’t ever leave My own kingdom for good. So I knew what to do Split into old and new And it’s been that way Since 1992. I don’t believe in faith I never had none The rules? Ha, I make em By the butt of a gun Can’t set things straight it’s too late. Too far in the game. Got myself to blame Livin’ under new name Is the only way Writing checks with the guilt off Everyday I got money and women: Treasure and pleasure But the way I got it I shoulda known better. My family’s off With memory Safe stowed away, By lock and key. I want to see them But can’t be seen. To be by them But cannot be. That’s how I got here Now today For power, sold my love away. And days don’t pass I don’t regret I try and try But can’t forget. But hold up Who’s this kids who rolls up? Got more nerve Than I deserve. He comes to me About some ho That recently Sold out for blow. It seems he doesn’t quite recall He asked that just Two days ago. I hold my tongue Before I’ve sung A background check Says what’s been done. I stroke my chin “I know nothing” So the story has begun. Oh dear lord what a tangled web It seems we’ve gone and spun. This grudge runs deep I won’t pretend Just a bullethole Will make it end. Or kerosene We’ll wipe ‘em clean. No evidence: That’s the routine. It’s outta hand What happened last: They fled by foot. Survived the blast. Fire can destroy the past But gunfire gets the job done fast. But why play God? Who lives and who dies? To save what I’ve built From hard work and lies? This boy has amnesia And benefit of doubt And should only be killed When he’s found it all out I’ll follow him With my third eye: A private eye And I will see If he remembers Anything Then he will die Summarily. In every business There are partners I think this is what he’d prefer Cuz I'm afraid if I don’t get him first The others will just get him worse. -So you got the ok from the boss you say? -He’s alive. He survived. Let’s get on our way. -Just so you know, let’s get things straight: -when push comes to shove You’re just dead weight -But we got no leads, so if you please - You might just be the help we need - But wait now; here comes a call - Maybe we don’t need you after all - Yeah that’s right. Eve was her name. Yesterday you say? We’ll be there right away. A friend works near There’s nothing to fear. But for you I’m afraid Changes have been made. I know how hard it must be to hear this But we no longer require your service. Why do you struggle? Why do you fight? Make my fist bid you good night? Let’s leave now Erase every trace -Except for the mark of my ring to his face: -The gang signature to remind him his place. -A mock of the court And it’s disgrace. Oh Oh How the rebel will fall Down to the ground on his belly to crawl. -But time is of essence We must make haste -To stay here longer would be a waste. |
