Marcolen Hayes - Today (NWAS) lyrics

They Told you dying today
You dropping out that school yea
That crime gon pay
Your mother ain't this your daddy ain’t shit
Your grandmama ain’t shit nigga
You dying today
They told you your kids ain’t royal
Dark as the skin as
The soil yea nigga your dying
Today nigga your dying today
Nigga your dying today nigga your dying today

This record ain’t really for the
Faint of heart my nigga
But you can’t judge what you
Can’t tell apart my nigga
Niggas dying from jail drugs and the violence
Police killings and the sirens some
Women disguised from sirens
From fathers rapping the mothers to babies
No one to love them
To raising niggas as killas to
Women strippers not hustlers
To snitches pussys and bustas to
Addicts feens and the customers
You can call this conscious music
Call it living through it
Use to ask me if I was down
Like brandy back in the 90s
Soul searching on diffеrent levels that’s
Whеre you could find me
Half of my ppl behind
Bars call it confinement
Teaching my kid to break the
Cycle erase the designing
We was kings and queens in the
Past some need a reminding
It’s ok cause nobody’s perfect
In this crazy world
Enjoy the Small things in life
Baby that freedom yearn

They Told you dying today
You dropping out that school yea
That crime gon pay
Your mother ain't this your daddy ain’t shit
Your grandmama ain’t shit nigga
You dying today
They told you your kids ain’t royal
Dark as the skin as
The soil yea nigga your dying
Today nigga your dying today
Nigga your dying today nigga your dying today

Special tribute to the men women
That lost they lives
All the hungry people never
Given tools to survive
Call us dangerous minds
Health surely deprived
The girls grew up without a father
See pain in they eyes
Injustice system send us to prisons
For amounts that reside
The baby mother’s working three jobs
No choice to decide
The baby’s father only see they
Kid s through court ties
Terminal children effected
Pharmaceutical lies power of these words the
Consequences and verbs
The actions not being accepted this
Life is truly absurd
Killing my own people for colors
When we gon learn
Selling only sisters for money nigga to burn
Dying for opportunity ever twist
And the turns
Living the lavish lifestyle not
A dollar been earned
Don’t be chasing the chicken and
Truly forget what’s missing staying woke
Gettin this bag and keep these
Haters at a distance
