Soul Assassins, Goodie Mob - Decisions, Decisions lyrics

It's a strain, mayne, living in these veins
Mayne sucking on a piece of sugar cane
Jerking chain take the wind out the throat
We never wash away the pain
So let the stain soak
Who's in the wave? Ideas
Fingertips carry language computer read
Have dead remove swimsuit's for greenbacks
I'm on the corner with my butt up
Sellin' new product
Women puttin' theyself in positions
To get cut up

Up out'cha guts, fear, up for what?
Nothin' but them Goodie

Osmosis, with that thang up
Under the pillow crush
Caught in the crossfire between
Yankees and 49ers
Rivals, but the South remain calm
Neutral, when we said 'blood
' that meant homeboys ended
Each other's lives
Over colors and thangs, that they can bring
To the next plain, but the toots in blue
Badges who are the biggest gangs?
In Babylon, dying slowly but surely
Malicious drivers with hairpin triggers
On the loose like Juice
And white America couldn't stand it
LAPD planted, incriminating evidence
Jurors under gag order
But we talking outside the courtrooms
Shooting birds at the judges
Fuck Texaco employees shouting racial slurs
Destroying documents of complaints
From black workers

The battle's no longer physical
It's from within
You live to die and you die to live again
But, you can't win for losing
What sides are you choosing?
Decisions, Decisions to make
Decisions, Decisions to make

Legalize the dope and make paper
Think it's time to pull another caper
Outta my bag of tricks
These niggas ain't recognizing how they
Using us to get rich niggas dying and shit
I woulda, broke my back for the scratch
That's what I did when I was a kid
Always had the thought of doing a bid
In the back of my mind
A life of crime was the last resort
I knew that going to
Court drama wasn't likely
An extremist, like a chemist
Cooking up a pen like the Witchdoctor
Steering wheel shocked ya
Like a thousand volts
Over the edge of the Hope
With the CIA selling coke
To make they bloat float up
The river King Louis
Liquor sipper as I strategize
A plan to infiltrate
The crooked new world ways to live a life
Who we got to fight to get it right?
Are you down tonight?

The relentless realism regardless represents
Southwest skills I possess and
Manifest is heaven sent
What's said is meant to the fullest extent
No nonsense because my conscience
Wouldn't be content
But just a little wealth, a little fame
But, your mind-frame will keep
You living the same
And it's a shame that niggas
Would settle with the ghetto
Huh, hoes and some clothes and
Ain't making what you suppose
'Cause your eyes closed
To what your contract shows in fine print
They gotta get back every cent you spent
You content, cuz, you do what everybody does
The industry done changed you from
The person you was knee deep in the struggle
Two part-time jobs to juggle
Got a lady and a seed
That you can't hardly feed
Any day your life could end, so you depend
On the reciting and the writing when you
Got the spare time to spend
To keep you stable
Hoping one day you'll be able
To be a commodity on somebody's record label
Got your chance
Twenty thousand dollar advance and a car
And all of a sudden you a star at the bar
Ballin', callin' the waiter to bring
One of they finest wines
Then you started snorting lines
Your life defines
The misconception of staying down
You can't be influenced by
Everybody you hang 'round
You shoulda been more appreciative
Of the life that you were blessed to live
A hundred percent is what you got to give
'Cause ain't no tellin'
Yo' bullshit start smellin'
And you wonder why your record ain't sellin'?
No more, ending up with no dough
And no respect back in the projects
In Building 23, right next door to me
Heheheh

The battle's no longer physical
It's from within
You live to die and you die to live again
But, you can't win for losing
What sides are you choosing?
Decisions, Decisions to make
Decisions, Decisions to make

Up out'cha guts, fear, up for what?
Nothin' but them Goodie
