Heart & Soul

Lyrics

[Chorus ?] Got the soul of a gangsta, still in these streets The heart of a hustler, living to be Got the mind of a struggler, needing a peek What the world got to offer, I'm still on my feet And with the dreams of a rockstar, still in my reach There's a will there's a way, [?] still [?] Got my mind on my money, and I'm ready to roll Got them demans from round me, now I'm ready to blow Yeah [Verse 1: Skatterman] Mother and father's first one, first son Imagine all the joy that he brings when he first come But what they do when he's hungry and thirst come? Daddy ain't got no job, and mama gotta wait til the first, huh? Dad runs, hit the door, never to be seen no more Mother keep [?] scrubbing floors But pressure bust pipes, embalming fluid [?] It's such a tough life, Alcohol reeking through pours Beyond the addiction, throughout the efliction [?] You talk and I listen, all facts and no fiction, we good I know this sounds a little different, believe it or not We like two killers with pistols, we hood So moms, I never turn my back on ya I shed tears that night I left your house, after I had to pull that strap on ya But I'm glad I snapped on ya, 'cause you was almost too far To see your oldest son becoming a star [Chorus ?] Got the soul of a gangsta, still in these streets The heart of a hustler, living to be Got the mind of a struggler, needing a peek What the world got to offer, I'm still on my feet And with the dreams of a rockstar, still in my reach There's a will there's a way, [?] still [?] Got my mind on my money, and I'm ready to roll Got them demans from round me, now I'm ready to blow Yeah [Verse 2: Snug Brim] 11/9 78, a victim of this world was born Y'all never thought that little Aaron would grow up to do harm I seen it, crack pipes Been through the broke and [?] Lived through the black nights, [?] bandanas But mama strong, she held it down and [?] Papa was a rolling stone, and [?] streets was out here slanging hogs And I had to deal with it Plus he left me at three, [?] slept on, left him a G My step pops became the [?] man So when I got up on some [?] I had a regular place where I can cop my drugs, man This ain't the way it's supposed to be Fighting temptations, wanting relations God hoping he know it's me Blessed the child who has faith, please embrace my words Screaming and yelling [?] til I'm heard Heart of a hustler Can't help the way my future was told Living the life of a rockstar, ready to roll Soul of a gangsta [Chorus ?] Got the soul of a gangsta, still in these streets The heart of a hustler, living to be Got the mind of a struggler, needing a peek What the world got to offer, I'm still on my feet And with the dreams of a rockstar, still in my reach There's a will there's a way, [?] still [?] Got my mind on my money, and I'm ready to roll Got them demans from round me, now I'm ready to blow Yeah [Verse 3: Snug Brim] As this world turns [?] this world burns Thinking to myself will this world learn? Knowledge is power, and planning is the key to success Money devowers, why do you think your people sleeping in vests? Hour to hour, watch your fake friends As long as dollars is spent, [?] showerd [?] might end The cards was dealt, while [?] yourself From game Your partners' helped, [?] scar yourself From fame [Verse 4: Skatterman] We from the dirt, where we had blackmale and exstortion So lord forgive us, for the crack sales and abortions 'Cause we don't know no better, just bigger ryms and leather Selling our souls, moving O's, just to get the chetter We know you see us, and we often frown 'Cause we feel like something out the lost and found Ghetto children in the world that been tossed around Keep your head up, soon we'll be off the ground [Chorus ?] Got the soul of a gangsta, still in these streets The heart of a hustler, living to be Got the mind of a struggler, needing a peek What the world got to offer, I'm still on my feet And with the dreams of a rockstar, still in my reach There's a will there's a way, [?] still [?] Got my mind on my money, and I'm ready to roll Got them demans from round me, now I'm ready to blow Yeah
