Žodžiai dainai: Nappy Roots. Wooden Leather. Work In Progress.
Wise words bein' spoke, huh, y'all know what it is
Nap, Nappy Roots, can I start this one off? Okay
Each day I listen what the streets say, like a DJ my Negroes scratch Ghetto recordin's, for my peoples got the eyes of an eagle
Can't see us ever bein' at peace for a reason 'cause we ain't
Never bein' equal they got us believin' we heathens, uncivil soldiers
Of evil, reach up and assume the position, you know the procedure
Can't even leisure smoke hollow reefer without police and search and Seizure by the same police who murdered Ceaser
It's brutal
Seein' them treat us like lower creatures than human beings more
So like aliens tourin' the land of Europeans, seemin' to have the Tendency to think we ignorant 'cause of our pigment, can't take away
A niggas, dignity though still I pimp the industry hoe and even when
I'm rich, I'm a pretend to be poor, my life's a work in progress soon to be End of the road but I don't stress cause I have been her before
You know
My life's a work in progress
(And even though I'm rich, I'm gonna pretend to be poor)
My life's a work in progress
(But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before)
My life's a work in progress
(And even though I'm rich, I'm gonna pretend to be poor)
My life's a work in progress
(But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before)
In life, every step you take, every right every left you make
You can look at it like chess in a way 'cause life is best when
You take your time don't make a move, unless you done made up
Your mind, play by the rules, don't ever play the fool
Sometimes you play and lose but you still pay your dues
Come on
Everybody knows the cost to be the boss, yeah the price is kind of Steep but sacrifice is never cheap, I learned that life can be sweet
And bitter at the same time, it's the Ying verse the Yang
Sorta like rain without shine, sometimes against the grain you grind Gotta grit your teeth and bear it
Matthew 5, verse 5 the earth the meek shall inherit
Cherish the day before you perish away 'cause who can say
How many days your power last, it's like a crack in your hourglass
In a flash, the hours pass
Then you're gone, gone , gone
My life's a work in progress
(And even though I'm rich, I'm gonna pretend to be poor)
My life's a work in progress
(But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before)
My life's a work in progress
(And even though I'm rich, I'm gonna pretend to be poor)
My life's a work in progress
Like there, long life livin' get will bring you close you dyin'
The more laughs one had will bring you close to cryin'
Cold unforgiving planet, yea it is, racists, and communicatin'
Those who wrong did, I daydream back to the 80's when we was all kids
A stab wound kidnappin' but experience though at the time
Not a glock would blow in da wind, it's a good day in the hood
To witness a stabbin', now stories told to us, without tragedy seem like It involve bloodshed automatically, if you ever get a chance, just stop And use your mind observe the world for yourself and just check
Your time
Yeah, Oh, Yeah, that's right
(My life's a work in progress)
Smoke somethin' with your country people
Drank somethin' with your country people
(My life's a work in progress)
Thinkin' back in Junior high when sex was the shit
Fein' pussy now a day can get you killed quick
'Bout shootin' ball in now they 'bout getting licks
I'm playin' Nappy Roots just to hear the realest shit
Expect it to the best of my know how and my rapping wit
See next to nothing sugar coated in these cold streets
Whatever you do, be smart, tote your heat
Did I mention if you don't work you don't eat
If you ever get a chance stop and use your mind
Observe the world for yourself and check the time
Yea, Smoke somethin' with your country people
My life's a work in progress
(And even though I'm rich, I'm gonna pretend to be poor)
