The Diplomats, Bugz - Melalin lyrics
[The Diplomats, Bugz - Melalin lyrics]
Should I do what they did
And take it and never admit
I invented the flow, yup
They different between us
You wait to shit come, I get it and go
Different strokes, for different folks
Shit I ain't tryin'
To come up short like Arnold (Not at all)
Or will it just blow, like it did to coke
(Not Me) some of us get rich
But many of us niggas is broke
The government, shit they make us sniff' coke
Instead of embracin' us, fuck savin' us
They give us the rope
How many guns in the hood?
What the fuck you think
How can one another - get ya
Stoned and then some weed
Just go, eight children
Broke, the statistics, every three hours
A brother is smoked, a baby is killed
A sister is raped
Somebody mother, strangled under that dope
Just get up and say, here, get up and pray
Tomorrow ain't promise, so I
Live for the day, this is hip hop
I need all, but tell ya rappers to come back
Yea we work too hard, to give us away
A victim of age
I can't go out like Eazy-E, a victim of AIDS
Being black is crime, I done worked
A nine to five
For three years, and they still
Ain't give me a raise
Shit give me a gauge, fuck a mininum wage
Get in a helicopter, look down
Shit we live in a maze
The day go fast, when ya broke
But it seems like
The minute you pay, the sun, never set
I don't sleep
Cuz sleep is the cousin of death
So I wake up, my brother, my
Cousins, and uncle's that's left, yes!
After the war, there's casualties
I study the art
They give us roaches and batteries
And blow you apart play dumb
Procrastinate they assassinate those
That are smart
Be brave, in the Wizard of Oz
They throw you a heart get some courage
To get to the light most
Walk through the dark, don't get discouraged
I'm on the one way trip to heaven
Forget the luggage
Chest in pain, it's making me weak
It's making me sluggish
Besides weed clogging up my THC
In my hood, everybody got a PHD
I count on my fingers
How many niggas got a GED (Niggas NONE)
My life is worth more than TV, and the DVD
Fuck a CD, I wanna be free, money for free
I'm like a cat, caught in the tree, ok
I need help
Why do I do for others, when I know
That i should do for myself
Where were your friends when you
Needed them? they collapse
And i know the real ones if i need
But I don't ask for shit
I chuckled, pool game, Goodie Mob, Goodie L
Coke kid, frankly, GNC, respect yes
My brother Kenny, I will pay you back
Forever you help me
I got the many mentions, it's yours
Nigga the key to the drawers
So I work out, try to keep my endurance
We lips, looked out
When that nigga needed insurance
Lift it, G to E-N T, Miss Pam
Fuck feedin missy
I can cut down, for going to college
Believing in me
I love you girl, you mean the world to me
And take it and never admit
I invented the flow, yup
They different between us
You wait to shit come, I get it and go
Different strokes, for different folks
Shit I ain't tryin'
To come up short like Arnold (Not at all)
Or will it just blow, like it did to coke
