there will be light in the street/ a cold coffin merry sweet/ one more dead
killer/ waiting/ losing his love/ now he lives in seclusion/ counting his days/
he has hopelessly won/ knocked out of breath/ he is facing the sun/ whose drugs
are these/ make me colorful please/ diving in summer/ come on come on/ you are
a child in wonder/ there will love in the heat/ naked days and jealous weeks/
white shoes in leather/ fading/ losing their shine/ dollar bills made of
sadness/ asking you are these things mine/ chasing the stream/ on through the
night/ you are standing in stone/ someone turn on the light/ make me colorful
please/ diving in summer/ come on come on/ you are a child/ in wonder/ is it
true that you can take one/ is it through you i will play on/ i am used to
being so done/ all this will change before it is through/ some who will lose
and never say/ hold me i'm weak/ break bread with your hero/ listen to jealousy
speak/ i will complicate all i meet/ saying life is good and/ death is sweet/
all this in vain/ no wonder i'm older againThe way that momma raised us was pure faith
So diablo wouldn't faze us or daze us
Or lay us down to sleep
Know the wolf from the sheep
Or the sheep who cried wolf
And threw the deadly hoof
While the wolf was asleep
I keep my mind a ghost
Follow my heart the most
Don't play fools too close
Sleep with my eyes at post
So Diablo won't be hostin the game of life
The knife sits by throats of the young
and blows death straight through the lungs
as the mind gets washed by visions of sugar plums
But we shall overcome cause we ain't dumb
but we ain't smart, they got the girls by the hearts
And the niggaz by the nuts
Ear, tongue and butts
Yeah, they're trying to fuck us up
but, shit, you know what's up
We gotta get with the movement
and move men soon
They consume every womb who bares
beneath the stairs of their doom
Best believe they're gonna shove em in a tomb
Chorus: repeat 4X
Cause Everytime I step to the microphone
I put my soul on 2" reels
That I don't even own
(Bootie Brown)
Early Saturday mornin I was cartoon gazin
slowly broke into the kitchen
to fill a bowl with some Raisin Bran
as I ran up and down the TV stations
I witnessed Indian Joe
getting tricked out of this nation
by a silly hillbilly
who laughed as the shit happened
Everything's the same
the game continued into rappin
Deception is at an all-time high
You give a piece of your soul
to receive some crumbs from the pie
But you know I keep on rappin til the break of dawn
even though it is my soul that I do not even own
Chorus: repeat 4X
(FatLip)
I was po', nlack and broke
beyond a shadow of a doubt
Ass-out, wide open waitin for my shit to come on out
Speakin about the time before I got signed
I was coolin behind Coolio in the County Line
My big brother used to say I was an asshole
didn't graduate, couldn't handle the hassle
of high school, why foo
