Goodie Mob

[T-Mo]
Why is it you fail, to see a man
in the same hour, that his kin come grinnin?
In another code, fell asleep, party mode, tryin to come up
from the ashes that defy your lift, listen up
Ladies seem sweet, the ocean meets the mountain peaks
Stone-walker, the side-walker, watches loose lips, Wall Street
Numbers set by stock movers, buy my tip so I can touch
Not for no print size, plate saint, white wasted H20
Four coatsll make it glaze
Beams rooted like dogwood, between the Pine, wind
Twenty-fo stores with malt for sale, still fetchin water
out the well, help em size, find the grind, find the times
where the times weighed as hard as ? find me shoes, baby daddy
Rico Daddy, he didnt break the TV
So why should I weep, man gon bye, see you when my light blow
Got more good than dirt to throw, and I wont pull
between the halo, and a fork-pitch
Suffocated by my rhymes...
[Chorus: Debra Killings]
Rest your mind in distant wilderness
Take your time and concentrate on it
Take a stand and make your hand a fist
We got a reason to resist
[Gipp]
The mortal orbit your nadir, dont cross the fader
chillin in Decatur, where its greater, secure streets
In the hood late at nights, dippin fine
Hard not to be slippin, if they come, I wont run
When its time, I aint trippin, I got my date
and you got yours too, I see, the record sales soar
after the death, of this creator, genocidal, tendencies
when they mention he, who listens to Unseen Hand
Cappin the faces of the young black man, when they sing
Knowin that we Godly, got to keep it right
with my people cause Im equal no matter, how much I make
I cant escape fate, the date as I await
As I await, I cant fake
Cant fake, I cant fake, Im true with it
[Khujo]
A duffel for the cash, platinum within myself from another earth
Spill, nina, tea leaf, your very, existance
is considered a privelege, buck up, and they cant, be revoked
Pay your taxes, uhh, snake eyes
Strapped with flaws, still iterant to a lot of laws
Man-made, but thats a dot
Everybody from the East coast done went back home, to think
Gettin they thoughts mixed negative, after reoccurances
I say a prayer, plus if I, entertained them
Its easy to commit, hard to resist
And once we cross that line segment, not even our producers
can bring us back, eyeballs peeled
eardrums opened, egos stripped stroked
Another low blow delivered to the hip-hop culture, uhh
Industry consists of thieveries, prostitutes
and Folgers if somethin bigger than us, past the blue
Told us that it wasnt a heaven for Gs
Then we do this, continue your devilish deeds
I mean activities, that just show, that its a Hell
for Jacks, independent, but you distributed by your masters
Labels still a slave, but you just get to eat at
the white mans table, lookin like Gable Gunther
on the Guinness Book of World Records, God didnt like ugly
and he wasnt too fond of cute either
A climate of caution, a climate of caution in effect
Hard acts to follow
[Chorus]
[Cee-Lo]
Where I am, you can feel God is present
In the midst of darkness if you spark up bet somebody gonna see it
It is necessary for me to speak these words now
Another day here hasnt been promised to me, dont you agree
that you never fail when you try, Im willing to die but first
I am willing to live, and I overstand that this will be
a lifelong sacrifice, in order to reveal
you gon have to destroy, and if you aint thinkin right
you damn sure cant act right, somebody raise your fist
and let me know Im not alone, revolution, doesnt mean fightin
in these streets, and it aint gonna be no revolution
without the women, and, it aint gonna be no future
without the children, and, it aint gonna be no children
without the men, and, you cant have no love without the trust
And no, trust can come without communication
And you cant communicate if you aint got shit to say
You cant teach about what you, been deceived about too
Any book you read is still limited education
You gon have to talk to God personally and time is short
And, hes on his way, and I will receive a great reward for what Ive done
And this is all that really matters to me
In time you will see what I told you is true
And I aint have to rhyme to say that to you
I aint got to rhyme to say it to you, its true
[Chorus]
