Lost Desire |
It’s the love, in your heart |
Or the pain, in your mind |
No one cares, what the truth is |
Cause them fortunes, they don’t lie |
It’s the love, in your heart |
Or the pain, in your mind |
No one cares, what the truth is |
Cause them fortunes, they don’t lie |
Okay, uh-huh, okay, yo |
I’m exhausted, but I never ever forfeit |
Y’all just bullshit while I knock a nigga off quick |
Y’all start speaking in tongues and start reaching for guns |
A militant will put this heat in your lungs |
The street and the slums, the weekend is done |
The local class always show you what the heat is become |
The seasons are done, and reasons are none |
People dyin', bullets flyin' cause they squeezin' for fun |
It’s all of a nightmare that’s right there |
They hopin' that somebody in the hood just might care |
With all this protestin' and rallyin', death toll tallyin' |
Foul smells around them, pails in the alley and |
Corner filled with teddy bears cause they killed a child again |
They sing about murder, so it ain’t a song it’s hollerin' |
Get off the choir with your soft attire |
Niggas out here don’t give a fuck cause they lost desire |
It’s the love, in your heart |
Or the pain, in your mind |
No one cares, what the truth is |
Cause them fortunes, they don’t lie |
It’s the love, in your heart |
Or the pain, in your mind |
No one cares, what the truth is |
Cause them fortunes, they don’t lie |
Yeah, my city’s full of, heartbreakers and stargazers |
Who puff garsh Vegas so they gone with the wind like Clark Gable |
Breathin' like Darth Vader, believin' in dark angel |
Yeah we got flags but they not star-spangled |
We not patriotic, the heroes are not them |
Ghetto grills like rims, you stop, they still spin |
Tall tales at the bar, witnessed after dark |
And we still stomp in in chicken and brown Timbs |
And listen to Rakim with the way that y’all been |
For realla, I hadn’t been schemin' or plottin' |
You fear us? |
But fear itself personified |
Payin' homage to homicide, prayin' to the dollar sign |
It’s idle worship, the rebel forces |
Bodies lie at the foundation of the fortress |
This is war, we expect some losses |
And we comin' for the heads of the bosses |
It’s the love, in your heart |
Or the pain, in your mind |
No one cares, what the truth is |
Cause them fortunes, they don’t lie |
It’s the love, in your heart |
Or the pain, in your mind |
No one cares, what the truth is |
Cause them fortunes, they don’t lie |
Yo, we on some casualties of war shit, what you stand for, kid? |
We in the city where they definitely lost it |
You open your eyelids and get capped in the ribs |
Your funeral they have your 12th grade portrait |
Pretty corpse in casket, bell-shaped orchids |
Said he 19 and left a self-made fortune |
And left tres orphans, now he in a box |
With the same chain and watch that never came off him |
It’s a shame what it cost him, where he come from it ain’t nothin' |
It’s a everyday thing, that’s a problem |
It’s chambers revolvin', bustin' like Russian roulette |
With a full set, they change what the odds is |
Flames in the mosque and, people held hostage |
Everyday I struggle, try to get up out the mosh-pit |
Homicide for profit, tell me how we not sick? |
This shit is out of control, they can’t stop it |
It’s the love, in your heart |
Or the pain, in your mind |
No one cares, what the truth is |
Cause them fortunes, they don’t lie |
It’s the love |
