Roots Of A Thug

Lyrics

Listen.... Yo The roots of a thug Boots in the mud When we go to war we don't shoot just because We fight for a cause Word to Allah You would go insane if you seen what I saw Pause, watch the angel as he falls Down from his grace In this human race Uh, .38 on his waist Lookouts on the corner, watching for the jakes Have you ever seen a fiend with the aches Going through that pain as he leans and he shakes? Uh, yeah we all want a taste Of that fruit that's forbidden to put food on our plates So I open up a gate Now I'm out here serving fiends while I'm sitting on a crate Cut your grass, so you can see the snakes Cause when you're eating, haters gonna hate Uh, Cut your grass, so you can see the snakes Cause when you eating, them haters gonna hate Niggas booking Niggas tryna get what they can take Fuck with mine, they gon' view you at your wake Up north my niggas they pirate Down south my niggas they pirate Midwest and westcoast they pirate Ahoy! Up all night I can't sleep Thirty niggas got indicted last week in a sweep When you swim in these waters, they run deep I walk amongst the lions while these niggas count sheep Niggas start snitching get shot in their mouthpiece Some turn informant and start working with police They kidnapped his wife and his niece When he changed his statement, then his family was released The time they givin niggas is how the violence increase Yeah we sell the drugs but they're the ones who put 'em in the streets It's like we in the belly of the beast And all we wanna do is feast, uh Presidential roly, diamonds in my timepiece Open shop on a block and move that nine piece 9 millimeter in arm's reach Capiche Cut your grass, so you can see the snakes Cause when you eat, them haters gon' hate Niggas booking Niggas tryna get what they can take Fuck with mine, they gon' view you at your wake Up top my niggas they pirate Down south my niggas they pirate Midwest and westcoast they pirate Ahoy!
