War
(专辑: Street's Disciple - 2004)
There's a
war in the
streets tonight And nobody's really feeling alright I
got a
blunt for my chronic, a
juice for my tonic I
know now that I'm feeling right if it goes down 'Cause my third eye sees the
lowdown And I
know it's not my time to go now 'Cause God's got my back in this showdown So I
know we'll be alright Yeah, Brooks Brothers overcoat, know the
ropes, smooth as Hall & Oates Briefcase, silk ties, slick as them older folks Silver fo'-fo', cocked? No My chauffeur driver just left some of my colleagues smoking that Cali Caught a
glimpse of myself in the
Barney's shop window Kinda' see my father's features creeping in a
little Got an office on Broadway, business in Jamaica Tell my daughter try the
hardest so the
best schools'll take her And I'm late to a
date with my wife, I
realize I
stopped to shop, had to get her some type surprise And I'm walking through it, chaos is all around me But God got me, no fear, through the
fire, try and stop me There's a
war in the
streets tonight And all this drama's got me feeling uptight I
don't know what I'll do if I
don't see my boo Cause she's standing on the
corner of Linden Boulevard Holding our baby in her baby in her arms So hold on, your daddy's in sight Yeah, nine-four, Destiny opens her eyes For the
first time, praise God, baby mom's crying Planned to be a
strong black family But we both were too young, too strung, too much flashing Newcomer called Verbal Assassin running with Nothing but the
worst type, worst fight When we brought my baby home the
first night Cursed like sailors, burst out the
crib raging In my new car bought from entertainment Champagne and gaining clout fast, whiplash Did this bitch just pass in the
club hugged up, stupid ass Grabbed her by the
pony tail, "never disrespect me" I'm a
street vet, regret the
sex, but not Desi Moved back to your grandma, I'm single, the
Land's mine She keeps the
Benz, I'm all in the
streets again Squeezing the
pen, released again, chart toppers Hard-bottoms blessed the
feet, now less baby mom's problems New woman, she's great, this a
different world Checking out my wife's chemistry with my little girl It's so amazing, playing, life is so crazy I'm grown up and thankful for lessons God gave me There's a
war in the
streets tonight And nobody's really feeling alright I
got a
blunt for my chronic, a
juice for my tonic I
know now that I'm feeling right if it goes down 'Cause my third eye sees the
lowdown And I
know it's not my time to go now 'Cause God's got my back in this showdown So I
know we'll be alright From the
day you was born Your daughter Destiny, was one of your destinations
