A man is heard running and breathing fast
Scared Man: Damn! Wha... The running gets faster, the man is breathing faster, and he sounds terrified. The devil's laughing is getting much louder There is the sound of things being knocked over as if the man is trying to hide and everything is in his way Scared Man: What you want man? What you want from me? Devil: Your soul! |

Verse One: Coolio
Now I've seen places and faces And things you ain't never thought about thinking If you ain't peek then you must be drinking and smokin Pretending not to loc'in but you're broken, let me get you open Now little Timmy got his diploma and little Jimmy got life And Tamikra around the corner just took her first hit off the pipe The other homie shot the other homie and ran off with his money And when the other homies heard about it they thought that it was funny But who's the dummy, cause, now you done lost the hustler A down-ass brother got replaced by a buster And though I got love for ya, I know I can't trust ya Cause my crew is rollin home and your crew is rollin dusta And just because of that you act like you don't like the brother no more Uh, I guess that's just the way it goes I ain't tryin to preach, I believe I can reach But your mind ain't prepared, I'll see you when you get there Chorus: I'll see you when you get there When you ever get there See you when you get there I'll see you when you get there If you ever get there See you when you get there Verse Two: Lek Ratt (40 Thevz) More temptation and faith, I guess we livin for the day I seen a man get swept off his feet, by a bullet and an AK The situation so twisted everybody gettin lifted I'm just tryin to take care of my kids and handle my business Cause it way too serious so you gotta pay close attention So you don't get caught sittin' when they come and do all the gettin Life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big horse Someone's gotta run a little faster cause we gotta lay the strugle I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender And if everybody's a sinner then everybody could be a winner No matter you rag collar deep down we all brothers And regardless of the time somebody out there still love us I'm a scuff and struggle and y'all I'm breathless and weak I just strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak Always keep reaching sure to grab on to something I'll be there when you get there when you wit the sound bumpin Chorus Verse Three: PS (40 Thevz) You need to loosen up and live a little And if you got kids let them know how you feelin For your own sake give a little Oh, you don't want to hear that, you busy tryina stack and keep them from the Jones's is taking advantage of your own The realest homies that you've been knowing for the longest But some ain't missing a good thing until it's gone Could have built an empire if not for the jealousy that divides us We prefer to keep our eyes shut to describe when It's something wrong and we desire so hold your head up high if your poor and righteous I know time seems right, and the problems seem endless But at the times of despair we gotta put ourselves together And if you feel you're out of the game then you need to get back in it Cause nothing worse than a quitter you gotta face responsibility one day, my brother so gather up your pitty and turn it to ambition and put your vehicle and drive and stop by my side Chorus Outro: Coolio As we walk down the road of our destiny And the time comes to choose which it gonna be The wide and crooked, on a straight barrel We got one push to give and one life to live Stand up for something or lie down in your game Listen to the song that we sing It's up to you to make it big I guess I'll see you when you see me Chorus -- fade out |

When night falls over the city
Gotta be ready cause it feels like Somebody's comin to get me It's ten o'clock and darkness covers my area And every night it's gettin a little bit more scarier The eleven o'clock Monday news is mo like a horror flick People sure have changed it seems that they enjoying this Death and destruction With no instruction Leads to malfunction disruption and full consumption How can I escape this mind state that I'm in? I been tryin, but it seems that I can't win I've fallen and I can't get up And the homies that was my homies went and set me up Somebody tried to tell me that it was all in my brain I tried to act a hard male runnin cocaine But it still don't ease my pain Am I insane or a victim of my own fears? What's goin on we supposed to be happy here God don't make no junk that's what I been told But it seems to me that God ain't in control When night falls over the city (When the night falls) Gotta be ready cause it feels like (Feels like somebody) Somebody's comin to get me (When the night falls) When night falls over the city (When the night falls, Ooh-yeah) I gotta be ready cause it feels like Somebody's comin to get me (Comin to get me) I need assistance, but all I get is resistance I try to be persistent, but life can be gone in an instant I'm scared to turn around cause I know somebody's watching I can feel they evil stares, and I know that they plottin on me And scheamin, I wish I was dreamin If my mind was free I could chase away the demons But in ain't, and they still can't understand that All I ever wanted in life was a chance to be a man The same old pattern has got me goin crazy, loc Descendent of a king, but I feel like a royal joke Is this a sequel? Are all men created equal? The lies you told to the people back then now they is lethal And now we swimmin in a pool like shark bait (Like shark bait!) Feel my pulse race, abnormal heart rate (Heart rate!) And now I'm startin to feel like I might come up missin I tried to tell somebody but nobody wouldn't listen When night falls (When the night falls) over the city (Over the city) Gotta be ready cause it feels like Somebody's comin to get me (Comin to get me) When night falls (When the night falls, yeah) over the city I gotta be ready cause it feels like (I wanna be) Somebody's comin to get me (Comin) Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooohhhh I'm feelin oppressed, this stifle My life is trifle No family, friends, or relations, so I sleep with my rifle And my pistol, I'm seein stars and hearin whistles One shot from a little junky ass twenty-two will tear a whole in your gristle Wont stay to state side Cause the unpure fall off the fall by the way side So stay your ass on the plate side There's nothin to fear but the fear itself And if you control the fear then the fear is wealth Do I have power or do I have no self control? These long, lonely nights have made my heart grow cold Hear my pleads, can somebody help a G And, will we fight this battle for eternity I blame you cause my mind is not my own So, don't blame me if I trespass in yo zone I'm your creation The product of a twisted nation Guess this is what you're facin (Facin!) When night falls (When the sun goes down) over the city (Over the city) Gotta be ready cause it feels like Somebody's comin to get me (Somebody help me!)

How you doin? I miss you Verse 2: LeShaun The kids keep askin where's their papa? I had to tell em daddy got caught by the coppers It's time for me to raise em up proper by myself It's a goddamn struggle when a bitch ain't got no help Now everybody tellin me that you ain't shit black and when you get out, you'll jack and probably go right the fuck back Damn, the pressure's gettin hot and heavy and yeah, I'm gettin sweated by your homey in the blue and white Chevy But now he's got a condo and a brand new Lexus Wants me to take a trip with him down to Texas The ends don't justify the means and in another life he might've been the man of my dreams But you know I got your back to the motherfuckin end but a bitch can't even trip like she doen't have a friend Chorus Interlude: (Hello, you have a collect call from...)

I know it's rough, I know it's tough but when you fumble in the game sometimes you get locked up You better stay away punk ass bitch, he ain't shit I don't wanna have to kill him Cos think about the times that we used to have Don't make me reach out and touch that ass You put yourself in danger when you fuck with a buster Like shootin dice without a pistol in a circle of murderers You got more class than the average-type hooker bitch Don't switch, he gotta grip but he ain't rich Now I gotta check but if you've got the cheque Give a nigga a look and put somethin on my books Peace Chorus Verse 4: LeShaun Aiyo remember the homey with the Lexus, he took the trip to Texas now he's wearin the fuckin Lexus like a necklace So tell me, what's the drill, baby pa? What's a bitch to do? My nigga's stretched in the pen since '92 Them visits ain't doin the trick, drop fucks make me sick cos this po' puddy-tat needs a cat nip And that motherfucker representin you, I think he resents you He got evidence he never presents to the people in court, I heard witnesses abortin What's he doin about gettin you out to hold the fort?

Back in the days when I was a young buck
Stuck like a truck gettin shit outta luck Times was rough and I didn't have a plan I was barely on the edge of my life as a man It's really fucked up when there's dope in the crib No food in the kitchen for the motherfuckin kids That's why a young nigga learned how to steal,see Shopliftin laid me a whole lotta meals But I remember days when the cupboard was bare and Life was unfair but who the fuck cares? I still hear Momma,what she used to tell me That you don't get shit in this life for free And even if I never ever make it to the mountain top Fuck it!I fight for my hip-hop Not everybody can relate to what I been through Even though some front and they try to pretend to Know about the life of a kid and the strife Where he has to live in the shadow of a base-pipe Good goes to bad,bad goes to worse And pretty soon he's stealin from his own Momma's purse So clean out ya ears and open up your eyes I reach out to touch but somebody moved the sky My stomach is growlin,word is born Cos all I had for dinner was a can-o-corn BRIDGE A can-o-corn,a can-o-corn All I had for dinner was a can-o-corn A can-o-corn,a can-o-corn Before I went to school I had a can-o-corn A can-o-corn,a can-o-corn I tried to get full off a can-o-corn A can-o-corn,a can-o-corn That's all the fuck that we had in the kitchen A few years later,I pledge a legions to the set I'm growin up but I ain't grown yet It's funny how the strain in a life filled with pain Can sometimes leave a bitch stained on the brain I'm sittin in the restaurant,guardin my food like a eagle Pickin up scraps like a seagull Waitin on the people at the next table to leave a tip So I can put it in my pocket Phoney Easter Bunny,Santa Claus and the stork We was poor as fuck so we ate a lot of pork And it ain't no motherfuckin way no how When it come up I let you bring me down So I stick to the boots and I'm down with a MAAD group Of gangstas and hoodlums,but you can call em 'scroops' Give me liberty or give me death Cos a man without pride ain't got shit left,huh And now that I'm older with kids of my own I put me in the pot where it used to be a bone Get'cha self together,word is born Cos a man can't live on a can-o-corn |

Verse 1:
I know a place where the trees don't grow Just another place where niggaz live low I know a place where life is fucked up Make a wrong move and your ass get stuck up Time ain't nothin but a frame of mind And life is like a mountain or a steep ass climb I've been lookin for a place to leave The only free place is inside of me So let's take a trip, and you don't need a grip But you better be equipped cause it might be some shit African-American, nothin but a nigga Had our fingers on the trigger, but I pulled mine quicker I know a place where there ain't no calm and You better stay away if you're soft like Charmin South Central, Los Angeles, Watts, and Compton A nigga on the west coast on his way to Harlem Verse 2: Now it's time to step into the light (Light) Put up your dukes, there's gonna be a fight (Fight) And when it's time to fight, you better fight right Cause if it don't fight right, out goes the light Take a close look at what I'm freakin on Niggaz think I'm tweekin, but I'm speakin on Subject matter, data Information that I gather Through my travels Cause the hardest of the hard, hit hardcore killer Can't stop the slug of a nine millimeter Everybody thinks they know, but they know not If they haven't caught a cap on the block *gunshot* So shine up your boots and pick up the pieces Grab a fresh pair of khakis with the sharp ass creases Ring the alarm, here comes the storm I got a firearm on my way to Harlem Verse 3: I know a place where the sun don't shine Everybody is a victim of neighborhood crime I know a place where niggaz walk the line One false step and they must do time Since I'm in the same boat I must stay afloat And sing every note From the quotes that they wrote So, I look into the past and walk the path of the greats So I wont make the same mistakes that sealed my ancestors fates If I had to be a slave I'd rather be in my grave If I get in how many lives could I save? One, two, three, a hundred, a thousand My heart is poundin, the devil keeps soundin But he don't want my money, he wants my soul So I reach like a tree, and like a weed I grow My stomach is full, but my mind is starvin Rollin in a g ride on my way to Harlem |

Imagine looking at life through rose-tinted glasses And the policy of the people is passive And all the women got fat asses And all the homies got dubs and deeds to spend And when the po-po's pass they wave and say "hi" And wear a grin (hey) And everybody that you meet is a potential friend And the women in your life love you for yourself and not your ends And the population's real so there's no reason to pretend And ignore we are the same, so no one hates you for the colour of your skin And every waking thought is one of peace and harmony and bliss That simple satisfaction like a plate of eggs and grits Senses fully alive like the feeling of a first kiss And when it's check out time you got a smile on your lips, huh And the whole world is like a next-door neighbour Quick to do you a favour even though we come in a million different flavours And I know there's not enough time to put it all in one rhyme So I savour the flavour and sweet taste I feel from the rays of the sunshine (Chorus - Woman singing) Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm sittin in the sunshine The sunshine, like the world was mine, the sunshine Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm walkin in the sunshine The sunshine, like the world was mine, the sunshine (Verse 2) If love was a flower I'd spread the petals about the planet And plant seeds throughout every city and country Even in those who do not want me I try to make some sense of the situation that we call life Some, verbal illustration to help ease this strife Some, lyrical penetration to try to make things right In hopes that what I'm saying can saturate your mindframe And help you with the pain and the strain of the everyday struggle I don't need it all, I |

Verse 1:
If you free your mind your ass has got to But you're caught up in that same ol' patent and trap that the homies go through Searchin' for answers without no questions You thought it could never happen to you and your crew, but y'all was no exception It started out as fun and it was all about kicks (Kicks) But each and every kick turned out to be a trick Imagine this you got no family, you got no ends You got no hustle, no muscle, no car, no clothes, you got no friends You once was the neighborhood boss and hog And no G livin' legend like walkin' dogs Niggaz hate to admit it, but they know it's true Damn near everybody in the hood, includin' the kids, want to be just like you So, hear I stand as a witness, or, should I say a reclaimed victim Written off and spit on by this really sick ass system You can roll what I roll in the swirl from the smoke Somebody take a vote, the devil is dope Chorus: The devil is dope (Dope) Out of control The devil is dope The devil is dope Out to get your soul (Yeah-yeah) The devil is dope Verse 2: Things seen only imagined and in dreams Until, the same nightmares in tv screens your teenage screams (Ahh!) Cause the dosage wasn't right Now his chest is gettin' tight And everything is goin' black But it's the middle of the day, figure that But you still can't see with a thousand watt beam (Blind!) And you need mo gin to feed your triple beam with schemes (Wake up!) Cause traffic done slowed up like the one ten at five So, you dance the street section at around two, to try to stay alive And now you trapped tryin' to play hockey with some tic tac's (Tic Tac's!) And niggaz tellin' you to kick back and bend back, but you already did that And all money ain't good money But everybody want the cream and honey Thinkin' that the other side is all green plus it's sunny (Yeah!) But, money, lust, and jealousy most lead to treachery From A.C. to O.G. to P.G. to P.C.B. As you call for your locs, set adrift in the smoke It's like murder, heat, smoke, the devil is dope Chorus Verse 3: Sunshine on your mind but darkness prevails You move your sales from motel to hotel Prerequisite for a blast, merchandise, cash, or ass Bloodshed often is the door where personalaties crash And it's your task to try to make a meal ticket So, you can kick it and be swift with your chicken (Bock-bock!) You's a victim and since you got your own mind It ain't all your fault, but you gotta do your own time Choose your weapon cause your first impression Often dictates the situation that you find yourself caught in If you still blind and you can't see You better obtain yourself some glasses and clear your vision like DMC (Don't run!) And remember what I told you Remember who brought a soldier I want to wake you up like Sega consume large amounts of dank-a Man overboard Beware of the underlords Stay your ass on the boat, the devil is dope (Ooh-ooh!) Chorus: Repeat 2X with adlibs in there |

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left 'Cos I've been blasting and laughing so long, that Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of You better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk I really hate to trip but i gotta loc As I Grow I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like on my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight. Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise (repeat) Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise(repeat) The getto situation, they got me facing I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes So I gotta be down with the hood team Too much television watching got me chasing dreams I'm an educated fool with money on my mind Got my tin in my hand and a gleam in my eye I'm a loc'd out gangsta set tripping banger And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away, I'm living life, do or die, what can I say I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24 The way things are going I don't know Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the one's we hurt, are you and me Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise(repeat) Spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise(repeat) Power and the money, money and the power Minute after minute, hour after hour Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me If they can't understand it, how can they reach me I guess they can't, I guess they won't I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise(repeat) Spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise(repeat) Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the one's we hurt, are you and me Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the one's we hurt, are you and me (fade out) |
