Esham - Bird After Bird lyrics
[Esham - Bird After Bird lyrics]
Money, got to get it, always necessary
If I don't get it from rapping
It'll be from trafficking
Bird after bird
Thank God for amphetamines
But what I really mean is what
Has dope done for me?
Oh, it got the mansion and
The six double zero
? on the table getting rocked up
The other eight
I keep 'em softened in the freezer locked up
Money and the power, money and the power
At the yay spot moving half a brick an hour
All dime rocks in Detroit grind blocks
Look out for the cops
And the neighborhood watch
Rolex, diamond infested on some neck shit
Arm & Hammer, baking soda Pyrex shit
Cocaine business controls America
They moving chickens in everybody area
And Colonel Sanders been dead for years
Crows been flocking on the wire since
I was a little kid
Young boys come home old men from doing bids
Reflecting on the pain 36 rolls did
Even a possibility of life without parole
Won't stop the murder toll or
The birds you sold cause it's
Bird after bird
Birds flock in spirituals and
Pray for me miracles
If anything I never thought I'd
Turn into a criminal
So here I go once again
Smelling dope and sin
Ballers commit suicide as soon as they begin
Misled, another dealer dead
Shot in his head, took his bread
His blood was red
Looked like spaghetti and meatballs
Brains on the walls money is the root to all
Evil pain that it cause
American Eagles on the look out
For boys and illegals especially Africans
'cause they be known for drug traffickin'
Pushing weight on every available interstate
Scarface sniffing right off the dinner plate
Arabian flake with more crystals and Folgers
Jumping out of planes with no parachutes
I told ya you heard me? Watch the birdie
Scant less in Detroit, they'll do you dirty
For surely, you want to get the cheese
Be there early slanging O boy or the girlie
Bird after bird
I know you heard word after word
So now it's bird after bird word after word
I know you heard
Look girl I'm not gonna sing 'cause
I just don't do that
"If you sing that song for me
I'll give you some punani"
Okay, maybe this one time, come on
If I don't get it from rapping
It'll be from trafficking
Bird after bird
Thank God for amphetamines
But what I really mean is what
Has dope done for me?
Oh, it got the mansion and
The six double zero
? on the table getting rocked up
The other eight
I keep 'em softened in the freezer locked up
Money and the power, money and the power
At the yay spot moving half a brick an hour
All dime rocks in Detroit grind blocks
Look out for the cops
And the neighborhood watch
Rolex, diamond infested on some neck shit
Arm & Hammer, baking soda Pyrex shit
Cocaine business controls America
They moving chickens in everybody area
And Colonel Sanders been dead for years
Crows been flocking on the wire since
I was a little kid
Young boys come home old men from doing bids
Reflecting on the pain 36 rolls did
Even a possibility of life without parole
Won't stop the murder toll or
