Bizzy Bone - Muddy Waters lyrics
[Bizzy Bone - Muddy Waters lyrics]
Ha ha ha ha, they say start it all over again
Whatever you goin through it's somebody
Goin through somethin worse let's do this
And that's life in the city kid
Everybody ain't gon' make it out the hood
(out the hood) you wanna flow like Bizzy did
Just keep the faith, and it's all to the good
Your girl is cheatin on you
You finna go to jail
Now you just lost yo' job
Yo' house is up for sale
Your friend just passed away
Before you said goodbye
Your son goin to war
And you still don't know why
Yo' mom contracted AIDS
And right before she died
She couldn't speak a word
But she can blink her eyes
See she was paralyzed
And you so scared to cry
You wanted to show her your strength
And tell her the Lord provides
The church is takin money
Sellin granny a dream
She wanna go to heaven
Think she can get it with green
Yo' cousins gettin rich, off of a triple beam
You see him losin weight
It started off with 'Premes
It elevated to rocks
And now he's on the pipe
He used to ride 22's, now cousin ride a bike
Yo' momma got a man, her man he got a temper
So he beat you right up
Gets drunk and don't remember
As soon as you go to school
Yo' teacher asked "What happened?"
Your peers they know the story
You say "Ain't nuttin crackin"
Yo' money's runnin low
And it ain't no welfare
Remember 'Pac said, "Who in the hell cares?"
But Bizzy cared for ya, see I can only stare
These are the muddy waters
That I can see and hear
See and hear, see and hear, see and hear
See and hear see and hear
And that's life in the city kid
Everybody ain't gon' make it out the hood
(out the hood) you wanna flow like Bizzy did
Just keep the faith, and it's all to the good
You had you four friends
And y'all grew up together
On the corner swiggin wines
Singin about the ghetto
Breakin bread, stealin cars
And stayin in trouble
House parties with the homies and
Then watchin 'em rumble
But soon yo' friendship crumbles
As you grow up in life
You reached the age of 30
And soon forget yo' plight
What if they blew up
And became the biggest group EVER?
I guess we'll never know that's
Just the way it goes
Havin high school dreams of turnin pro
Catch an injury and now the
Scouts ain't 'round no mo'
Studyin to be a doctor but
Get pregnant in school
You decided to keep yo' child
Now you must provide the food
At the tender age of 50
Reachin your golden years
These are the muddy waters
That I can see and I hear
Bizzy cared for ya, but baby I can only stare
These are the muddy waters
That I can see and I hear
And that's life in the city kid
Everybody ain't gon' make it out the hood
(out the hood) you wanna flow like Bizzy did
Just keep the faith, and it's all to the good
This for my momma, this for my children
This for my sister, and Eazy-E
'Pac, Biggie, Big Pun, Aaliyah, Left-Eye
Capo rest in peace nigga
Whatever you goin through it's somebody
Goin through somethin worse let's do this
And that's life in the city kid
Everybody ain't gon' make it out the hood
(out the hood) you wanna flow like Bizzy did
Just keep the faith, and it's all to the good
Your girl is cheatin on you
You finna go to jail
Now you just lost yo' job
Yo' house is up for sale
Your friend just passed away

And you still don't know why
