Nappy Roots - Work in Progress слова песни
Intro, spoken: [B Stille]Wise words being spokeHuhY`all know what it isNap-Nappy Roots. Can I start this one off? Ok[Verse One-B. Stille]Each day I listen what the streets sayLike a DJ my negroes scratch ghetto recordings, for my peoplesGot the eyes of an eagle, can`t see us ever being at peace for a reasonCause we ain`t never being equalAnd got us believing we heathens, uncivil soldiers of evilReach up and assume the position, you know the procedureCan`t even leisure smoke hollow reeferWith out police and search and seizure by the same police who murdered CeaserIt`s brutalSeeing them treat us like lower creatures than human beingsMore so like aliensTouring the land of EuropeansSeeming to have the tendency to think we ignorantCause of our pigment, can`t take away a nigga`s dignity thoughStill I pimp the industry hoeAnd even when I`m rich I`m a pretend to be poorMy life`s a work in progress, soon to be end of the roadBut I don`t stress cause I have been her before, you know[chorus]My life`s a work in progress(and even though I`m rich I`m gonna pretend to be poor)My life`s a work in progress(but I don`t stress cause I have been here before)My life`s a work in progress(and even though I`m rich I`m gonna pretend to be poor)My life`s a work in progress(but I don`t stress cause I have been here before)[Verse two-Ron Clutch]In lifeEvery step you takeEvery right every left you makeYou can look at it like chess in a wayCause life is best when you take your timeDon`t make a move, unless you done made up your mindPlay by the rules, don`t ever play the foolSometimes you play and lose but you still pay your duesCome onEverybody knows the cost to be the bossYea the price is kind of steep but sacrifice is never cheapI learned that life can be sweet and bitter at the same timeIt`s the Ying verse the Yang, sorta like rain without shineSometimes against the grain you grind gotta grit your teeth and bear itMatthew 5, verse 5 "The earth the meek shall inherit"Cherish the day before you perish awayCause who can say how many days your power last?It`s like a crack in your hourglassIn a flash, the hours passThen you`re gone[Chorus][Verse three-Big V]Long life living (?) will bring you close you dyingThe more laughs one had will bring you close to cryingCold unforgiving planet, yea it isRacists, communicating those who wrong didI daydream back to the 80`s when we was all kidsA stab wound kidnapping (?) experienceThough at the time not a glock would blow in da windIt`s a good day in the hood to witness a stabbingNow stories told to us, without tragedySeem like it involve bloodshed automaticallyIf you ever get a chance, just stop and use your mindObserve the world for yourself and just check your timeYeah, Oh, Yeah, that`s right(Scratched: my life`s a work in progress)Smoke something with your country peopleDrank something with your country people(Scratched: my life`s a work in progress)Thinking back in Junior high when sex was the shitFein pussy now a day can get you killed quick`Bout shootin ball in now they `bout getting licksI`m playin Nappy Roots just to hear the realest shitExpect it to the best of my know how and my rapping witSee next to nothing sugar coated in these cold streetsWhatever you do, be smart, tote your heatDid I mention if you don`t work you don`t eatIf you ever get a chance stop and use your mindObserve the world for yourself and check the timeYea, Smoke something with your country people{Chorus}
