Dead prez, Outlawz, Stormey - Can't Sell Dope Forever lyrics

Homie, you can't sell dope foreva
You can't sell coke foreva
You can't sell smoke foreva
Baby, you can't sell ex foreva
You can't sell sex foreva
We gotta get ourselves togetha

It ain't too many dope dealers retiring
It ain't too many old prostitutes
Vacationing on the islands
Instead of knock 'em down
My focus is to inspire 'em
Stop worshiping money and worship
Something higher up
Don't get me wrong cuz, I done been there
Bottom of the barrel man and
It ain't shit there
No food, no love, whole lot of kids there
Hand me down footwear, we got put here
She wanna have a baby
What coz he got good hair?
But he ain't got no job, and she on welfare
All he do is go rob, she do the blowjobs
For '06 Bonnie & Clyde, life is so hard
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
Look into the sky and there's
No sign of God's face we can't get a break
I see my people all stuck in a slump
It's like we just can't get over the hump
We need some motivation
We need some inspiration
We need to be more creative in
Our ways to get paper
The block will have ya ass in
A box for your duration
Nigga, all I'm sayin' is this
All I'm sayin' is this

Homie, you can't sell dope foreva
You can't sell coke foreva
You can't sell smoke foreva
Baby, you can't sell ex foreva
You can't sell sex foreva
We gotta get ourselves togetha

Homie, you can't sell dope foreva
You can't sell coke foreva
You can't sell smoke foreva
Baby, you can't sell ex foreva
You can't sell sex foreva
We gotta get ourselves togetha

Homie, I ain't tryin' to preach to ya
I'm just sayin'
The government the bigger gang
And they ain't playin'
Hangin' my niggas for hangin'
Where they bang at this is where we live
Where we suppose to hang at
Don't love the rent
I can't afford to rent this month
I gotta hit this blunt, I gotta get this done
I know it feel like it ain't no options
A little education for a broader horizon
It's hopeless
I'm focused on reachin' the children
If what you doin' ain't workin
Try somethin' different
Listen, there's lynches and
Killings in corners
With nothin' left to show
But a prison diploma
The crooked ass cops tryin'
To meet they quota
So every time they see me
They gon' pull me ova
The life of a soulja, the world is colda
And when it get's worse
Man it still ain't ova i told ya

You can't sell dope foreva
You can't sell coke foreva
You can't sell smoke foreva
Baby, you can't sell ex foreva
You can't sell sex foreva
We gotta get ourselves togetha

Homie, you can't sell dope foreva
You can't sell coke foreva
You can't sell smoke foreva
Baby, you can't sell ex foreva
You can't sell sex foreva
We gotta get ourselves togetha

Every new nigga think he not gon' get caught
The same thing the next man thought
Sittin' in court
It's nothin new under the sun, it's been done
There's a million niggas locked up
You just another one
That got caught up in it
Like the government intended
A pawn for the system at
The bottom of the pyramid
The game is a set up
That's why they call it a trap
It's infested with informers
Snitches and rats
So watch ya back if you in it
Get in and get out invest in ya future
Gotta try to find another route
Coz the war on drugs, is just a war on us
And the wrong time to see it
Is when you in them cuffs
On that bus, frustrated
Headed to the big house
Lookin' at so much time
You might never get out
If you headed down this route
Whoa before you crash boy
You don't wanna see them red
Sirens on the dashboard

You can't sell dope foreva
You can't sell coke foreva
You can't sell smoke foreva
Baby, you can't sell ex foreva
You can't sell sex foreva
We gotta get ourselves togetha

Homie, you can't sell dope foreva
You can't sell coke foreva
You can't sell smoke foreva
Baby, you can't sell ex foreva
You can't sell sex foreva
We gotta get ourselves togetha, c'mon
