Uncivilized

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Who cut ya? Save the theatrics for the mattress Nine bring it raw dog style with no practice I mack this microphone like a ho on the stroll In total control of the soul Any asshole can pull a gun the streets are full of fools I met smarter younger brothers in jails than in schools Runnin his story about his glory, it bore me And his territory, it don't do nothin for me So fuck him and the horse that he's ridin I'm barely survivin, losin my breath Cause I'm drownin in sorrow I seen a lot of pain with these two eyes of mine That's why I write the rhymes that borderline on crime I gotta make something or I gotta take something Can't beat that... Fuck Versace and Rolex, I can't eat that I need that green it seems to reign supreme By any means, pens and papers on triple beams Get rich schemes blow up in your face None taste worse than a plan gone sour Your power slippin thru your fingers like dimes and nickels We got pistols You know where to shoot at, wherever the loot at I don't break the law the law breaks me I ain't sitting around waiting for the devil to come and take me Don't shoot until u see the whites of they eyes Anything less would be uncivilized [Chorus] You know, in a world full of lies and alibis Some men die for a piece of the pie, it's uncivilized So I strive to survive and keep my eyes on the prize Anything else is uncivilized In a world full of lies and alibis Some men die for a piece of the pie, it's uncivilized So I try to stay hi staying high of the la It's keeping me from acting uncivilized [Verse 2] I break the rules on my quest for the 12 jewels Believe in delf bring stacks and green packs Need hats for Jacks, camouflage At least 2 gats, for when skies are black and grey Any day above ground is a good day, I'd say The way kids play nowadays, no hands They spray round my way I'm feelin like Sade and I'm runnin outta sad songs You fake, one mistake could leave u dead wrong Roll with the king, whoever that is See him in the corner of my eye But he disappears like cigarette smoke In a cloud, then the rain comes, then the pain comes X marks the spot, graffiti marks the slums The chosen ones communicate with mathematics The new tactics set me free from all the dramatics Keep it in my attic, that's where my brains at Keep it in the closet, yeah but keep it black Back up from the ropes if u can't float between notes And memorize them quotes that I toke from Buddha smoke Hope ya brought your dictionary with ya Cause if u get the words, then u get the picture I hit ya because I love ya You're my people and I put noone above ya But if you're foul I bust ya It's time to be totally disrespectful to Saint Ives Part of the reason we're all uncivilized [Chorus] You know, in a world full of lies and alibis Some men die for a piece of the pie, it's uncivilized So I strive to survive and keep my eyes on the prize Anything else is uncivilized In a world full of lies and alibis Some men die for a piece of the pie, it's uncivilized So I try to stay hi staying high of the la It's keeping me from acting uncivilized
