|
Ha ha ha ha, they say start it all over again |
|
Whatever you goin through it's somebody goin through somethin worse |
|
Let's do this[Chorus: Bizzy Bone] |
|
And that's life in the city kid |
|
Everybody ain't gon' make it out the hood (out the hood) |
|
You wanna flow like |
|
Bizzy didJust keep the faith, and it's all to the good[Bizzy Bone] |
|
Your girl is cheatin on you, you finna go to jail |
|
Now you just lost yo' job, yo' house is up for sale |
|
Your friend just passed away, before you said goodbye |
|
Your son goin to war, and you still don't know why |
|
Yo' mom contracted |
|
AIDS, and right before she died |
|
She couldn't speak a word, but she can blink her eyes |
|
See she was paralyzed, and you so scared to cry |
|
You wanted to show her your strength, and tell her the |
|
Lord provides |
|
The church is takin money, sellin granny a dream |
|
She wanna go to heaven, think she can get it with green |
|
Yo' cousins gettin rich, off of a triple beam |
|
You see him losin weight, it started off with ' |
|
PremesIt elevated to rocks, and now he's on the pipe |
|
He used to ride 22's, now cousin ride a bike |
|
Yo' momma got a man, her man he got a temper |
|
So he beat you right up, gets drunk and don't remember |
|
As soon as you go to school, yo' teacher asked "What happened?" |
|
Your peers they know the story, you say "Ain't nuttin crackin" |
|
Yo' money's runnin low, and it ain't no welfare |
|
Remember ' |
|
Pac said, "Who in the hell cares?" |
|
But Bizzy cared for ya, see |
|
I can only stare |
|
These are the muddy waters, that |
|
I can see and hear |
|
See and hear, see and hear, see and hear, see and hear |
|
See and hear...[Chorus - 2X][Bizzy Bone] |
|
You had you four friends, and y'all grew up together |
|
On the corner swiggin wines, singin about the ghetto |
|
Breakin bread, stealin cars, and stayin in trouble |
|
House parties with the homies and then watchin 'em rumble |
|
But soon yo' friendship crumbles, as you grow up in life |
|
You reached the age of 30, and soon forget yo' plight |
|
What if they blew up, and became the biggest group |
|
EVER?I guess we'll never know; that's just the way it goes |
|
Havin high school dreams of turnin pro |
|
Catch an injury and now the scouts ain't 'round no mo' |
|
Studyin to be a doctor but get pregnant in school |
|
You decided to keep yo' child, now you must provide the food |
|
At the tender age of 50, reachin your golden years |
|
These are the muddy waters, that |
|
I can see and |
|
I hearBizzy cared for ya, but baby |
|
I can only stare |
|
These are the muddy waters, that |
|
I can see and |
|
I hear[Chorus - 3X w/ minor variations + ad libs][Outro: Bizzy] |
|
This for my momma, this for my children |
|
This for my sister, and |
|
Eazy-E'Pac, |
|
Biggie, Big |
|
Pun, Aaliyah, |
|
Left-EyeCapo rest in peace nigga |
