[killah priest]

Yeahtake it backin the days

You knowof reminising

Justjust chillin

Word

Late at nightah shoot it's damn near morning

Check it out



From shootouts at block partiesfrom God bodies

That flooded the project lobbyscold degrees

Smokin weedtalkin 'bout the black and latin seeds

Durags and universal flags

On the ave little niggas throwin up tags

They get defeatedalmost bit the broken tree

I recallniggas who was nice in basketball

Just as my nephewhe had a gift that was special

But instead at least seein him with a scholarship

I'm lookin at him in the funeral parlor and shit

Life is a bitchsome go downtryin to make it rich

Some say "fuck it"and start takin shit

Sometimes I wishwhen bullets are sprayedthe fake niggas get hit

Cuz you knowwe know

When you lose something that you really loveis hard to replace it

But we have to face it till the day we lay



[chorus x2: killah priest]

From niggas I've seenplaces I've been

Have my share of fake friendsran with evil men

Chillin with the snakes is a sin

But through it allI kept it real within



[killah priest]

From the giggles of a murdereror the hugs of a burglar

So many faces tryin to read usI need an interpreters

In these dark dreamswhere the car thieves lurk

Around the parkjeepsnarcs creep

At night the sharks eatstreets is so cold

As if they hearts don't beat

From niggas with tanktopsyellin bank stop

At night they fight like gang cops

Wet eachother like rain drops

And keep sinnin till the game stop

Until there's no longer breathin

Shit at last the soul is leavin

They goin nowhere fast

Tryin to escape this life is a difficult task



[chorus x2]



[killah priest]

To the little niggas on the corner holdin their dicks

Rollin in clickshad to get control in their strips

I ain't provin shitbad asses cuttin classes

You need your ass splitmaybe that will save you from that casket

And I copped the blast quickwith young black males of black bastard

See those niggas who trigger happy? 

Maybe they will take the lives of mad niggas' daddy

I know it sound harshbut I gotta kick it like this

And I don't give a fuck if you don't like it

Go to save the righteous

And your ass walk around here lifeless

Trust meI know ityou say I'm psychic

When the order hits it's gonna be a crisis

And believe meI ain't gonna be concerned who's the nicest

We made a crack saleaway the next fighters

When you look up and see that sky lityou will know christ lives

So until the next timeor if there is one

Check for the jewelI left deep in your eardrum

Be awareand stay awakebecause we got to watch the snakes



[chorus x2]



[outro: killah priest]

Know I'm sayin? we gotta wake up motherfuckers

We gotta sit together

Wordyou know? 

For all my motherfuckingigantic army

And justyou knowbeing together

The sky looks like coney blacknigga

Be aware

Yeahfuck that shit
