[Intro, spoken: B Stille]
Wise words being spoke Huh Y'all know what it is Nap-Nappy Roots. Can I start this one off? Ok [Verse One-B. Stille] Each day I listen what the streets say Like a DJ my negroes scratch ghetto recordings, for my peoples Got the eyes of an eagle, can't see us ever being at peace for a reason Cause we ain't never being equal And got us believing we heathens, uncivil soldiers of evil Reach up and assume the position, you know the procedure Can't even leisure smoke hollow reefer With out police and search and seizure by the same police who murdered Ceaser It's brutal Seeing them treat us like lower creatures than human beings More so like aliens Touring the land of Europeans Seeming to have the tendency to think we ignorant Cause of our pigment, can't take away a nigga's dignity though Still I pimp the industry hoe And even when I'm rich I'm a pretend to be poor My life's a work in progress, soon to be end of the road But I don't stress cause I have been her before, you know [chorus] My life's a work in progress (and even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor) My life's a work in progress (but I don't stress cause I have been here before) My life's a work in progress (and even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor) My life's a work in progress (but I don't stress cause I have been here before) [Verse two-Ron Clutch] In life Every step you take Every right every left you make You can look at it like chess in a way Cause life is best when you take your time Don't make a move, unless you done made up your mind Play by the rules |

Hmmmmmmmm
Well, well, well, well [Chorus] These walls are closin' in How long I'm supposed to grin I lost my will to win Forgive my sin, hmmmmmmmmmm These walls are closin' in How long I'm supposed to grin I lost my will to win Forgive my sin, hmmmmmmmmmm As darkness approaches And I'm fumbling through the blunt roaches Its looking hopeless, totally unfocused Stumbling onto the front porch Poasty with my closest associates We were so broke Though a couple of us had sold dope Still humble enough to be po' folk We coming up to be grown folk Ain't dumb enough to be slow poke Though the hours of death they grow close So we give our lives to the utmost, Plus Here's an extra point Visualize the gold post No we not eating duck roast But we live our lives to the utmost, Cause Those pressure points Are the corners we cut close Turn most civilized Yaggers to cutthroats And it's these men they send up state by truck load And hurl 'em in to the pin like buffalos I'm saying [Chorus] The game was sold, not told to me Heartache won't let go of me Games say that I'll live and lie But I'll trrrrryyyyy Every which way tell you the angles I done tossed and turned Hit and missed Pissed cause of that didn't amount to this Getting it ain't got a damn thing to do with keeping shit Working damn hard to get it Plans and not parting with it Life got a way of showing you shit you can't barely see Tough keeping close Setting sail through a sea of g's Something should this night I lay me down to sleep Wasn't happy with my f |

<i>[R. Prophet]</i>
Welcome <i>[Chorus 4x - Nappy Roots]</i> War/Peace, c'mon Nappy Love/Lust, now say it, Roots <i>[R. Prophet]</i> I got a telegram from a pelican Said in the clouds last night she got higher then she's ever been Seen shuttles and huddles, hard rocks and war bombs In real life our words in distorted sound Coke and Hen' mix, guitar Jimi Hendrix Smokes and blunts but this is my experience The world's corrupt, how can I defend it? Need more love, that's why I have to send it <i>[B. Stille]</i> Know what it is when you really tryin to be somethin But in your minds you really can't find nothin But am I wrong if a preacher can't reach me? Or am I dumb cause a teacher can't teach me? I'm too black for this world here to bleach me I'm too much hell for this heaven here to keep me But you can beat me, slander me, cancel me But see I'm real so you still gotta answer me <i>[Chorus]</i> <i>[Skinny Deville]</i> The thought of all destruction, man ain't nothin gonna last I feel the pain and sufferin, the system done collapsed Wood is burnin, big construction's burnin, holdin on a pass Shattered glass the aftermath, tragic death is on the trail Empty shells, the ghetto's extinct, there's heaven and there's hell Burnin souls, the opposite of peace for 7 million years Started livin well, self-esteem, been lovin with myself It's time for revolution, get yo' gauge and bullets off the shelf Because it's war <i>[Ron Clutch]</i> Because the end is almost here but I done been here before So I haven't any fear for I trust in the Lord When I die nobody cry, nobody shed not a tear In the middle of the floor pour out your liquor and your beer I'm still witcha, you can hear me loud and clearly When I'm howlin at the moon (whoooooo) Mama heard me freestylin in the womb Heard me battlin the beat of her heart when it boom I'm born again, I'm free! I'm Nappy to my Roots! <i>[Chorus]</i> <i>[Big V]</i> Do it, c'mon, c'mon, yeah! Do it, c'mon, c'mon, yeah! Do it, c'mon, c'mon, yeah! Do it, do it, do it, do it! <i>[B. Stille]</i> Rich man purchased a poor one This land versus a fore run Either you with us or for 'em Pistols and missiles got 'em just to wage war on It ain't safe even in Oregon Each mourn, then there's more gone Bloodshed filthy as the money it pours on The guilty hand washes the sore one King James boxin a Qu'ran The officials are morons, can't trust no one <i>[Big V]</i> But if the whinos don't know it, the streets won't repeat it If it ain't adverse, then the reverend won't preach it Represent the slums, the misfits and have-nots Buddy we had not, born in a bad spot <i>[Chorus]</i> |
