Light it, uhh |
| [00:05.45] |
Light it up, uhh |
| [00:06.86] |
|
| [00:07.86] |
The whole, city is mine, prettiest don |
| [00:10.32] |
I don' t like the way P. Diddy did shyne with different lawyers |
| [00:13.00] |
Why it' s mentioned in my rhymes? it, it' s just an intro |
| [00:15.75] |
Hate it or love it, like it bump it or dump it |
| [00:17.77] |
Writing, across the stomach spell God son |
| [00:20.16] |
Life is like a jungle black it' s like the habitat of tarzan |
| [00:22.95] |
Matter of fact, it' s harder than most can imagine |
| [00:25.06] |
Most of my niggaz packed in correctional facilities |
| [00:27.56] |
Half of them passed on, mack strong, couple of shots |
| [00:30.12] |
May the ghost leave a body, now they hauntin the block |
| [00:32.48] |
Where they used to stand at, somebody' s takin they place |
| [00:35.03] |
A younger man perhaps, hand slaps, can' t understand that |
| [00:37.75] |
Same walk, same talk, I wonder can that be possible |
| [00:40.70] |
A thug dies, another step inside his shoes |
| [00:42.97] |
And they will hurt you, layin low with a bottle |
| [00:45.04] |
I' m blowin circles, my state of mind purple |
| [00:51.54] |
|
| [00:52.54] |
Light it, light it, uhh |
| [00:59.93] |
Yeah.. light it up, light it up, uhh |
| [01:06.54] |
|
| [01:07.54] |
Ya' ll just wanna deal with drama |
| [01:09.08] |
Talk about niggaz who got things |
| [01:10.64] |
You' ll ready to kill his momma |
| [01:12.19] |
Everything you went to is underworld related |
| [01:14.53] |
You sell your man out, not even your girl is sacred |
| [01:17.14] |
You don' t trust a soul, hold up, you moldin soldiers |
| [01:19.65] |
To pull guns quick and always look behind the shoulder |
| [01:21.98] |
Think of how many dudes died tryin to be down with you |
| [01:24.60] |
Everybody' s under six feet of ground but you |
| [01:26.91] |
Still standin, still roamin through the streets, that' s real |
| [01:29.48] |
You a survivor, knowin all the beef is ill |
| [01:31.86] |
You got a bunch of thugs witchu even now that' s ready |
| [01:34.45] |
Trustin your judgment, quick to put it down, they deadly |
| [01:36.91] |
The hood love you but behind your back they pray for the day |
| [01:39.31] |
A bullet hit your heart and ambulances take you away |
| [01:41.80] |
That ain' t love it' s hate, think of all the mothers at wakes |
| [01:44.16] |
Whose sons you killed, and you ain' t got a cut on your face? |
| [01:46.60] |
Unmarked police cars roam the streets hard, the heat is god |
| [01:49.66] |
Somebody tell these shorties reach for the stars |
| [01:51.62] |
Instead they tell ' em how to reach through the bars, holdin a mirror |
| [01:54.28] |
Lookin down a tear in jail, makin weapons to kill ya |
| [01:56.70] |
We smoke three tokes nigga pour more henny |
| [01:59.09] |
He sighs with eyes that seen a war too many |
| [02:01.63] |
Coldblooded murderers, universal |
| [02:03.95] |
Hood to hood, blowin smoke, state of mind is purple |
| [02:07.69] |
|
| [02:08.69] |
Light up, light up light up, uhh |
| [02:13.55] |
Light it up.. light it up, light it up, uhh |
| [02:19.17] |
Uhh.. uhh, uhh, light it, light it, uhh |
| [02:25.55] |
|
| [02:26.55] |
These hotheaded youngsters, always get into trouble |
| [02:28.86] |
Reactin before thinkin, they easily irritated |
| [02:31.51] |
And murder' s premeditated, it' s a fact that we sinkin |
| [02:33.90] |
When we should be climbin, in a nutshell, it' s just jail |
| [02:36.35] |
Drug sales, liquor and diamonds, niggaz rewindi |
| [02:38.74] |
Instead of movin forward, to blow up so what' s the science? |
| [02:41.39] |
People shoutin, police pushin the crowd |
| [02:43.75] |
And on the ground' s a young soldier, with meat hangin out him |
| [02:46.39] |
Am I hallucinatin off the hazin? |
| [02:48.30] |
Or did I just see a nigga shoot another nigga' s face in |
| [02:51.30] |
It' s a ugly nation, cops circle the block with mug shots |
| [02:54.07] |
Photograph pictures of, suspect faces |
| [02:56.36] |
It' s usually, two or three niggaz who innocent |
| [02:58.60] |
But if they lock the wrong ones up, then someone' l snitch |
| [03:01.14] |
A divide and fall strategy, they aren' t fair |
| [03:03.72] |
I dig in my bag of weed that' s covered with orange hair |
| [03:06.17] |
This color purple l make whoopi give me the pussy |
| [03:08.64] |
You silly, oprah and danny glover gots to feel me |
| [03:11.02] |
This is how I escape the madness, too much of anything l hurt you |
| [03:14.21] |
So, my state of mind' s all purple |
| [03:17.21] |
