Nas, Megaski - What Goes Around lyrics

Yeah

Ayo, it's poison
Ecstasy, coke, you say it's love
It is poison schools where I learned, they
Should be burned, it is poison
Physicians prescriptin' us medicine
Which is poison
Doctors injectin' our infants with the poison
Religion misoverstood is poison
Niggas up in my hood be gettin' shot
Given poison

In hospitals, shots riddle the block
Little children and elderly women
Run for they lives
Drizzlin' rain come out the sky
Every time somebody dies
Must be out my fuckin' mind, what is this
The hundredth time?
Sendin' flowers to funerals


Readin' "Rest In Peace"
You know, the usual, death comes in threes
"Life is short" is what some nigga said
Not if you measure life by how
One lives and what he did
And funny how these black-killer companies
Is makin' money off us
Fast food, Cola, soda, Skull and Bone crosses

It's all poison
Ecstasy, coke, you say it's love
It is poison schools where I learned, they
Should be burned, it is poison
Physicians prescriptin' us medicine
Which is poison
Doctors injectin' our infants with the poison
Religion misoverstood is poison
Sisters up in my hood try to do good
Given choices

When pregnant
Drop out of school or have abortions
Stop workin', hopin' that they find a man
That will support them
Up late night, on they mother's cordless
Thinkin' a perm or bleachin' cream
Will make them better, when they gorgeous
White girls tannin', liposuction
Fake titties are implanted, fake lips
That's life destruction
Light-skinned women, bi racial, hateful
Toward themselves, denyin' even they blood
I don't judge Tiger Woods, but I
Overstand the mental poison that's
Even worser than drugs

Yo, it's poison
Ecstasy, coke, you say it's love
It is poison schools where I learned, they
Should be burned, it is poison
Physicians prescriptin' us medicine
Which is poison
Doctors injectin' our infants with the poison
Religion misoverstood is poison
Radio and TV, poison white Jesus, poison
And any thoughts of takin' me down is poison
Who want beef now? My heat shall anoint them
Plaow

Never to worry
All the wrong doers got it comin' back
To 'em a thousand times over
Every dog has it's day
And everything flips around
Even the most greatest nation in the world
Has it comin' back to 'em
Everybody reaps what they sows
That's how it goes
Innocent lives will be taken
It may get worse
But we'll get through it, y'all, be strong

The China man built the railroad
The Indians saved the Pilgrim
And in return, the Pilgrim killed 'em
They call it Thanksgiving
I call your holiday "Hell day"
'Cause I'm from poverty
Neglected by the wealthy
Me and my niggas share
Gifts e'ryday like Christmas slay bitches
And party e'ryday like this is the last
I'm with my heckles
Connectin' and we hittin' the lab
This is my level, fuck if it get you mad

It's all poison
All of my words to enemies, it is poison
Rappers only talk about keys, it's all poison
How could you call yourself
MC's? You ain't poison
Think about the kids you
Mislead with the poison
And any thoughts of takin' me
Down is all poison
Who want beef now? My heat shall anoint them
Plaow

What goes around comes around, my nigga
And what goes up, it must come down, my nigga
The soldiers found below the ground, my nigga
Just hold it down, we older now, my nigga
What goes around comes around, my nigga
And what goes up, it must come down, my nigga
The soldiers found below the ground, my nigga
(Uh)
Just hold it down, we older now, my nigga

This nigga Ike with the Iverson jersey
Light-skinned with herpes
Fuckin' sisters in Harlem, Brooklyn and DC
This is the problem
'cause he never tell 'em he got it
From lettin' fags suck him off
Rikers Island in '93
Drives a Benz, hangs at all the parties
All the concerts
Backstage where the stars be
Rockin' they shirts in bitches'
Faces like clockwork
"What's your name? Where you from?"
Chain blingin'
Thinkin' girls everywhere is dumb
Takin' pride in ruinin' their lives
So they could never have babies
And they could never be wives
He never used a condom
Give him head? He got ya
Met the wrong bitch and now he
Dead from the monster AIDS
I contemplate, believin' in karma
Those on top could just break
And won't be eatin' tomorrow
I know some bitches who be
Sleepin' on niggas' dreams
They leave, when that nigga blow
She the first bitch on her knees
Knowin' dudes that's neglectin' they seeds
Instead of takin' care of 'em
They spendin' money on trees
I pray for you deadbeat daddies 'cause
When them kids get grown
It's too late for you
Now you old and you gettin' shitted on
It's all scientific, mystic, you know
The Earth and the stars
Don't hesitate to say you heard it from Nas
What is destined shall be
George Bush-killer 'til George Bush kills me
Much blessings, be healthy, remember

What goes around comes around, my nigga
And what goes up, it must come down, my nigga
The soldiers found below the ground, my nigga
Just hold it down, we older now, my nigga
What goes around comes around, my nigga
And what goes up, it must come down, my nigga
The soldiers found below the ground, my nigga
Just hold it down, we older now, my nigga
