Inspectah Deck 
Yo, this goes for all my brothers and sisters locked down 
For all my peoples incarcerated, for those who ain't make it 


Yo, in the housing, thousands seen early graves 
Victims of wordly ways, memories stays engraved 
All my live brothers, is locked down with high numbers 
The young hunger, blind to these lies, they die younger 
In this New World the Order slaughter men, women, and children 
Ten feet gates surround the building keep us sealed in 
The projects, lifeless like a vietnam vet 
Constant war, sever threats of enemy conquest 
Crooked cops comb my building complex that's in the rumble 
Streets are like a jungle, can't let my cypher crumble 
Vivid thoughts, Devils resort to trick knowledge 
They kick garbage, lust for chicks and quick dollars 
I know the pain the game bring, I did the same thing 
Spaced out in the staircase, performing a sting 
It's hard to keep control, I bless those who seek a scroll 
Trying to reach a whole nation and break the sleeper hold 
Not a role model, I walk a hard role to follow 
I sold bottles of sorrow then chose poems and novels 
The gospel was told, some souls it swallowed whole 
Mentally they fold, and they eventually sold 
their life and times, deadly like the virus design 
but too, minute to dilute, the science is mine 


You can't party your life away 
Drink your life away 
Smoke your life away 
Fuck your life away 
Dream your life away 
Scheme your life away 
Cause your seeds grow up the same way 

Masta Killa 
A voice cries from the wilderness of the North 
A representation of the families that lost one 
all victims of incarceration 
Or other divisions of the family structure 
Youths are injected with serums that leads 
to skin irritations, babies being born with 
disfigurations, experimentations 
On their faces there bear world relations 
of mothers that carry the pain 
of blood stained streets where sisters mourn and wail 
Big brothers been slain from hails of gun fire 
It lightly begins to rain screams of terror 
are hidden by the passing trains 
This can't be little Shane, his uncle cried 
As he drops to his nephew's side, holding his cane 
Just give me a name, of who has inflicted this 

Bitter sickness, and left us to witness 

U-God 
Yeah, yo 
Curses from war, innocent blood spills for days 
Soothe in godly ways, hands, solemn in praise 
Tree of life, more precious than Wu is golden game 
The wise self flourish inherit, Halls of Fame 
Crime visions in my blood got me, locked in prison 
While we die hard living people whine about religion, vision 
Blow, spin, and sin and killing what's revealing 
It's a never ending battle with no ending or beginning, listen 
Zero process, progress, become the hunted 
America's most wanted, good life flaunted, want it 
Some love the speed, some satisfy a need 
Some want to be down, young gun seed, jungle breed 
The stronger speed, someone die, someone bleed 
One flew astray, and then caught my little seed 
Can it be, the ice have us trife life, made me grab the knife 
The righteous man would be within these stripes pipes 
Take in my energy, breath and know the rest 
Cause the good die young and the hard die best 


You can't party your life away 
Drink your life away 
Smoke your life away 
Fuck your life away 
Dream your life away 
Scheme your life away 
Cause your seeds grow up the same way 
Cause your seeds grow up the same way 
Cause your seeds grow up the same way

Y'all bitches love dances, and pulling down your pants 
while your man's on tour, your spending up his advances 
Your friends ain't shit, all they do is drink, smoke, and suck dick 
The whole projects is trapped in stench 
You either high school drop-outs, one to three cop-outs 
Fifteen years old, shorty ass and top out 
Ninety-nine cent beer drinking pussy stinking 
Fucking so much your ass and titties start shrinking 
New World Order slave trade, minimum wage, better cage 
Can a devil fool a Muslim nowadays 
Inside my lab, I'm going mad 
Took two drags off the blunts, and started breaking down the flag 
The blue is for the Crips, the red is for the Bloods 

The whites for the cops, and the stars come from the clubs 
or the slugs that ignites, through the night, by the dawn 
Early light, why is sons fighting for the stripe 

Method Man 
As we dwell through this concrete hell, calling it home 
Mama say, take your time young man and build your own 
Don't wind up like your old dad 
Still searching for them glory days he never had 
So many bad want to scheme for American dream, no more kings 
The cash rule everything now, we going down 
These babies looking up to us, it's up to us 
The Million Man March MC's, get on the bus 
But envy, greed, lust, and hate, separate 
Though the devil mind state blood kin cannot relate 
No longer, brothers, we unstable 
Like Kane when he slew Abel, killing each other 


You can't party your life away 
Drink your life away 
Smoke your life away 
Fuck your life away 
Dream your life away 
Scheme your life away 
Cause your seeds grow up the same way 
Cause your seeds grow up the same way 
Cause your seeds grow up the same way
