Water |
South Philly, North Side |
Oakland, Texas |
Georgia, Black People |
Yo, Worldwide, Sup my nigga |
You know what I’m saying |
Dumb and blind… |
They say a record ain’t nothing if it’s not touching |
Gripping, draw you in closer make you want to listen to it And if you real ill at making music |
Then lesson’ll feel like you livin’through it That’s how my nigga do it |
I met Slacks back in like '91 rapping |
We went to Millersville to get away from gun clappin' |
It ain’t last |
I be in class dreaming 'bout |
50,000 fans up in the stands screaming out |
Encore, yo I’m headed back to Philly |
Nigga you rollin’with me? |
I’m 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 |
I’m not judging |
But still I’m on a mission, yo I’m not buggin' |
I got fam that won’t stop druggin' |
They can’t sleep |
They can’t stick to one subject, they can’t eat |
Is people steady comin’at me out in the streets |
Like Riq yo wat up with your peeps |
it gets deep nigga |
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… |
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 |
I’m far from a hater |
And I don’t 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 that’s real but yo 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 it’s 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' |
See’em looking shaking their head and start shruggin' |
If they don’t 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 lock’em up in the studio with a mic |
'Cause on the real it might save his life |
Keep tellin’em |
