Nappy Roots

Nappy U Here

Nappy you hear me, glad that you here man

Back [?] still take it

What they give, family

Still living [?] family

Happy new year, nappy u here

We in vision and the new clear

We the center of this blue spear

And we promising,

Picture shack and [?] is you give

We bad, take it back to the plants on the front porch

To the lies with the lost of a front door

To the keys to achieve what they want most

To our dreams when you come close

Tears, red clay, red cup with the red A

Good kid quit school, then he went astray

You can learn every law that the man make

But in the end I believe you all people straight

I'm not to be here, my cup is full and raising in the atmosphere

I'm thankful for the fact that we [?] hell of an year

Yeah my baby's getting older, time be flying when you open

Like a screen door in the summer time

I'm grinding mostly focus

At the task of hands,

Survival of the fittest is the master plan

The winners keeps the spoils of war

The [?] I understand

Oh lord, not again, please don't let me fall back in the slum

I'm paranoid, I'm loosing it, I'm sleeping with the pump

Double [?] I can't give a fuck about what you want

But let me keep it cool and let me take a couple puffs off of the blunt

Times is getting hard, industry is changing like the weather

We been killing shits [?] leather

Nappy you hear me, glad that you here man

Back [?] still take it

What they give, family

Still living [?] family

Fire couldn't kill us, water couldn't drown us

Coach used to say if you can play their fire

Thank god for Jack Daniels

When the going gets hard, go get gloves

And grab it by the handle, and handle it

Smiles don't mean us all good, on my life I've been [?]

So I witness real hood [?] really do it

And let them record it

So you can youtube it, [?] no you're not me

And I can care a little and give a damn a lot less what you think about me

Smoke drink and you think about me

And result in the field about me

I remember like yesterday, barely had a pot to piss

Just a water melon, piece of chicken and a pot of [?]

On top of this, cheap whiskey, whatever god [?]

Looking back when it all seemed so innocent

The og's told me to cherish these good old days

So they know they was dropping jewels by the look of they face

Looking like they give everything, he could have took my place

Took a last look to his whiskey, took it to the face

The one that end on they cap [?] chase

So what good is the trap if cats can't escape?

Life's a book written in ink that you can't erase

Lord don't let this all be a beautiful waste

Back [?] still take it

What they give, family

Still living [?] family

It's a small world, watch what you do

Can't argue with a fool man the young cats is [?]

Like it ain't no thang

Better watch what you're smiling with

Cause they don't play no games like hotel tv's

With that block on the cable cord,

But killing your people don't make it hard

Just real, rest in peace, Nate Dog, one day you're here

Then the next day you're gone, do [?] at the crib

Didn't get the chance to tell him how you feel

But that's just how it is

Gotta live with the guilt

I know it's hard to get over,

But you must get do it, one way or the other

That's life, every day we deal with something new

Never getting too comfortable, stay on alert

Keep my guard up high, cause tomorrow I ain't promised every day on this earth.
