|
All things, ain't, what they seem |
|
You'll get washed; even if you're way too clean |
|
[Opio] |
|
I was ridin around the Lake gettin smoked last night |
|
Seen a gang of businessmen pilin out the Scottish Rite |
|
It was just lascivious, cuz ducked in the three-way |
|
Givin those ridiculous handshakes to the PD and the DA |
|
But I'm hip to the sign language it's just an exchange |
|
of the blood brotherhood who remains nameless |
|
But to me y'all famous, and I got game just the same |
|
Man it floods my brain, ya can't frame us |
|
[Pep Love] |
|
They got plans, plots and schemes |
|
Like a dope fiend tryin to get that ice cream cola |
|
[Opio] |
|
My nigga hold up, things is not as they seem |
|
You get washed; even if you're way too clean |
|
[Pep Love] |
|
Deceptions inception and interception of our direction |
|
is intertwined with what goes on in our minds |
|
Take a look at your reflection |
|
What you perceive is based on what you believe is true |
|
Shackled and chained and thinkin you as free |
|
as a eagle in the sky - need I remind you? |
|
The pen is an inkwell, niggaz is slaves |
|
Even if we not locked up, we on our way |
|
[Opio] |
|
They got plans, plots and schemes |
|
Like a dope fiend tryin to get that ice cream cola |
|
[Pep Love] |
|
My nigga hold up, things is not as they seem |
|
You'll get washed; even if you're way too clean |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Pep Love] |
|
I'm bent like a slinky, where the hoes at? |
|
Just got paid, pockets on fat |
|
Friday night, everything is right |
|
til Opio hung a left then I seen his lights (siren) |
|
But we "B-Legit" like "The Savage" |
|
We da shit, got L's and a pocket full of cabbage |
|
One time did a search and found we had scratch |
|
Itched it and took us downtown |
|
Matched .. |
|
[Opio] |
|
.. descriptions of two individuals who just did a bank heist |
|
Small timin shanked the guard twice in his neck |
|
A Purple Heart Vietnam vet |
|
They test me and eye-witness fingered out Pep |
|
So the next logical step was: I drove the getaway |
|
Accessory to murder, court date set for May |
|
Put my ass in North County on set for Pelican Bay |
|
And since I'm not Orenthal J., I can't pay |
|
Shapiro the dinero to get away clean |
|
A nigga got twenty years though, know what I mean? |
|
[Pep Love] |
|
They got plans, plots and schemes |
|
Like a dope fiend tryin to get that ice cream cola |
|
[Opio] |
|
My nigga hold up, things is not as they seem |
|
You get washed; even if you're way too clean |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Outro] |
|
"Does anybody know what the situation is? |
|
Do you know what we can do and what we can't do? |
|
What we can say and what we can't say? |
|
I don't know that anymore. |
|
And I don't have enough time to go and research all the laws. |
|
So I'm in the position |
|
that the only thing I can say about that is FUCKIT." |
