Slip Into Reality

Lyrics

[Intro] We have been concerned about these eternal questions The nature of good and evil Does God exist? Does the Devil exist? Uh, how do we explain Certain horrible things that happen to innocent people? [Verse 1: The R.O.C.] Now, you just slipped into reality [where guns crash?] And drug bust is an everyday thing when nuts hang They don't even got a name fame, don't mean nothin' Only the cash flow, it ain't black or white, it's called rich or poor Now you know me the R.O.C. my name Never ran in the crime game, try to walk the straight path Intertwined while watchin' my homies go down Slain in the city streets meetin' they makers while my face frowns My grandpa's passed, my grandma passed At the funeral my aunt told me I could cry at last I lashed out with tears huggin' and kissin' Riddle me this, riddle me that, why must I live these years Of life with advice to the youth When they don't even see the other hurts that peoples is goin' through They say it ain't about wrong or right or how could you fight Long as the pistol's in sight and the moneys' tight But all in all they think like that they don't fall Product of America's nightmare I'm tellin' y'all Believe me when I tell you I ain't trippin Just tryin' to help you out from slippin' into reality [Chorus] You know, all we gotta do it kick it, we gon' kick it in our hood, you know? What we gon' do? You know, just sit there and think. Only time you really gon' get deep into it is when one of your friends die, just like when my partners died They have a tendency to, like, man these people don't care about us, and we might as well just go ahead and keep fightin' each other You killin' me, I'm killin' you, it's time [Verse 2: Mr. Bones] Pour out some liquor for my pops, Peppermint Schnapps, I'm feelin' faded Violated and altered, very much intoxicated This is dedicated to my main man And when he died, never did I understand Why he went away, although I didn't cry Tried to play the big man kept my feelings inside Never ever shed a tear for the last ten years I been hangin' with my peers and facin' my fears This shit is gettin' clear, the government got us in focus Bill Clinton push the button, nuclear hocus pocus They tried to provoke us with trees, infest us with disease Tell me how to live and when to die and whom should I believe Realize the realism of reality Life is filled with technicalities and fucked up formalities Automatically and statistically we walkin' dead Roamin' the wasteland with a bounty on our heads Avoid scenarios of abuse to my spouse Brothers younger than me are steady posted in the crackhouse And everybody totin' guns like it's some kind of fashion Be careful, even busters is blastin' when you slip into reality [Chorus] You know, all we gotta do it kick it, we gon' kick it in our hood, you know? What we gon' do? You know, just sit there and think. Only time you really gon' get deep into it is when one of your friends die, just like when my partners died They have a tendency to, like, man these people don't care about us, and we might as well just go ahead and keep fightin' each other You killin' me, I'm killin' you, it's time [Verse 3: Hektic] One day, it's gonna hit me like a ton of bricks I'm feeling so sick one of my dawgs passed and shit I'm thinking 'bout killing 'em all, but what's that solve? He still gon' be dead in the morning, why take the fall? Inside I be so mad I'm finna burst Instead of Chevy's, my homie's rollin' in the back of a hearse You know it's worse, it's too hard to cope with some days Murderous ways leavin' me sick and in a daze Comatose, completely toe up Nerves be so bad I wanna throw up, I'm 'bout to blow up In a rage, I need to talk, nobody wanna listen On the corner, mental mind state position Overload, pull the trigger Stress got the best of suicide, pour out some liquor Another grave digger gets paid Digging our grave for senseless ways, keep to ourself is what I says All of my dawgs can't die I visit the sky and reminisce when I'm high Never gon' lie, I got love for my niggas Dead or alive, reality check, we can do it on the outside [Chorus] You know, all we gotta do it kick it, we gon' kick it in our hood, you know? What we gon' do? You know, just sit there and think. Only time you really gon' get deep into it is when one of your friends die, just like when my partners died They have a tendency to, like, man these people don't care about us, and we might as well just go ahead and keep fightin' each other [?] all kinds of violence, if we are to save the children, if we are to save the children for the future of our world, if we are to experience peace in the future, we must call a truce. See now, when trouble comes, back in the old days, when folks were fighting and feuding, they'd call a truce. Somebody would wave a flag. It's time to get out this mess. You killin' me, I'm killin' you, it's time
