Poisonous Poets - The Snakepit lyrics

Yo check it yo
Hey yo listen, the first lesson that's
Worth stressing, the germs spreading
So i'm re-amending the term "bredren"
Whether Caucasian, Asian, Jamaican, they all
Hating, they're haters, perpetrating
Awaiting for you to waken
It was all good in times that you was
Broke with them, couldn't smoke with them
But now you got some dough to spend

It's the topic of conversation if
Shotting's your occupation, unknown
Don't be droppin no information about
Where you keep it, your, keep it a secret
Who the fuck are you to me to
Be ticking a half a B
Last week you were safe to me, week before
I heard about you hating
Me, basically, two-faced
Facety and fake to me


Where were you them times that I
Almost got shift for walking
On road with a spliff holding an O and a bit
You ain't about when I'm needing some help
Only about when i pick up them fresh batches
Think I'm feeding you, well
If you my man you understand that
It hurts to see someone
You helped out in the past
Showing no love in return
So I keep a circle of tight friends till
My life ends, them snakebite, fake type
Letting money entice them
Double P, don't pretend they're my bres
Therapist won't deal with envious ways
Till the end of my days

All you snake types and fake
Types should take flight
When it's time for drama your
Face white with stage fright
Snake types and fake types should take flight
Remain tight, in darkness and daylight

I'm coming straight out the snakepit
I learnt to never let my guard drop
I had to start off trying
To ball small draws of
I graduated school of hard
Knocks by stacking papers
I wasn't ready for the backlash
That my cash created
Thought it was all love, but now I know
It wasn't like that, wasn't watching my back
You wanted a spot to aim your knife at
What's done is done, mathematics, pure
Reason, thought shit's the same
But shit changed like four seasons
How could you do this, divert my
Eyes from where the truth is
And all the time the snake in
Disguise was one i moved with
And all the time in the back of my mind
Something was off-key
All the time you was plotting on me
Clocked how you watched me
And all the time you said you'd
Stake your life you blatantly lied
'cause all the time you was nothing
But a snake in disguise
And now you scared to look me straight in
The eye, it's too late for forgiveness
You and your bitch clique got
Dismissed from my district
It's on officially
And I'm not chatting 'bout rapping on
Beats, I'm chatting 'bout man on the street
Carrying heats
The pain of what you've done still
Hurts me like open scars
In the same move you bruck my
Pocket and broke my heart
So i aim to break yours, I
Ain't scared to break laws
You went against the grain and got in
The way of the main cause
Fuck the fake shit, razor blades I'm
Quick to lace your face with
Fakes get face lifts 'cause I'm
Coming out the snakepit

I despise those who dick
Ride and switch sides
Wanna be slick guys, you probably sniff white
Who you think you are, star? I'm your master
You wanna be driving them fast cars
I'll leave your ass in plaster casters
Faster than you can imagine
Due to your bragging you getting
Slewed by crews of
Yoots that are planning to do some damage
You damn right, so get your plans
Right, if you don't stand right
How you gon' be walking on road?
Got a portion of dough, they wanna
Put their fork in your bone
It hurts like hitting the tarmac
After a car crash
Fuck getting in large cause when mans try and
Gwan flash, they getting their car lashed
Or they getting their yard trashed
Yo, all snakes have got cold blood
That's why i show
No love, it's in their nature as a snake
So i don't hold no grudge
Remain emotionless while i handle my beef
Just remember I'll be beside you with
My hand on my heat
Cause I ain't like these snake types
Double P
Will remain tight, play the game right
Never suffer from snakebites


Poisonous Poets for 2002
Big up my crew west!

All the man dem check my grammar
People tried to kill me like Diana
Chase me with a jagged dagger
I stagger back to my manor
