E-40 - Practice Looking Hard слова песни
[Verse 1]Bloody murder, crime, drugs, folks smokin`Man I remember when it used to be cool to leave ya screen door openAnd let the mosquitos and the flies sneak inLook mama and them play whistleSo I`ma play tackle football with my friendsI guess them times is gone cause like a wishboneI wish I had em` back instead of watchin` brothers fiz-allCatch em` out on every track, bar, street, boulevardsSweet avenues with dead ends, neighborhoods with antensWhatever happened to the days of Little LeaguePop Warner and Boy Scouts, the Old Singing Boys ClubVoodoo to go to school not thinkin`Too busy smokin` weed, sellin` dope and drinkin`I guess we`re livin` in the last daysCause in the last days the Bible speaksof AIDSPlagues, brothers killin` brothers, earthquakesYoungsters tryin` to earn stripes as a work faceI`ll be a sucker if I don`t pull ya ho cardI used to be soft but now I`m hardFuckin` nigga, I practice lookin` hard[Hook]I got a mirror in my pocket and I practice lookin` hardMirror, mirror make the callWho`s the hardest of them allI got a mirror in my pocket and I practice lookin` hardRight before I go to bedI make sure that my mirror`s there[Verse 2]Take yo mean face off partner why ya muggin` meFools say shit, I can`t help that shit`s in meIt`s automatic cause what`s mine ain`t even tookIt`s my mad at the world lookI said I feel ya man, sometimes I catch myself tooMean muggin` folks that did no harm to me or my crewBut now it shouldn`t have to be this wayFools say, I don`t care what nobody sayThe other man got me this wayI`m fresh out the pen and out the system for yearsBeen fillin` out all kinds of applications to make a gripBut I don`t know nothin` about no computer chipIt takes that to make a J-O-B in the 93But a J-O-B in 93 consists of paper rarelyJobs like the oil refineryI`d rather work in Napa at the wineryAnd then ya wonder why I`m stubbornForever lookin` hard, I been scarred[Hook]I got a mirror in my pocket and I practice lookin` hardRight before I go to bedI make sure that my mirror`s thereI got a mirror in my pocket and I practice lookin` hardMirror, mirror make the callWho`s the hardest of them all[Verse 3]Can`t tell me shit, I come from a broken up homeEvery since I was a youth I thought that I was grownMeet me after school nigga and we can get it onYa talked about my mammy now I`m goin` upside ya domeI got a complex problem, my guard stay upI`m always on the offense side, don`t test my nutsI`m not a Charles nor a Larry but I`m scaryScared that I might lose it and chop you with my piece berryI deep into my shit and it`s straight like thatI be quick to clobber a motherfucker with my Flintstone batNobody likes me on my father`s side of the familyThey can`t stand me cause they think that I`m sellin` that candyI kid you not, all bullshit to the sideI got 20,000 niggas in my organizationNow which one of y`all niggas down to rideI gets juiced off the underground dojaYou know that Click shit, that independent shitIt makes me feel like I want toGot me a baggy full of broccoli and a crooked eye 22I feel crafty, I mean that but I feel great[Hook]I got a mirror in my pocket and I practice lookin` hardRight before I go to bedI make sure that my mirror`s thereI got a mirror in my pocket and I practice lookin` hardMirror, mirror make the callWho`s the hardest of them all[Various ad-libs]
