In Too Deep

Straight from the boogie down Bronx

If you act stupid then you fittin' to get stomped

Hip Hop started in my borough

Now I'm bringin' it back to get it on

Livin' this life until it's gone

When you see me know you lookin at a Don

Shine so bright when I write these songs

I overshadow five cracker niggas like a bomb

Blame it on the way that I was born

Middle of the hood in a middle class home

In the middle of the streets in the middle of the beef

Where niggas hold heat with they fitted caps on

I'm a king I could never be a pawn

Hard to find like a lizard in a storm

Trust in God but I'm living in the wrong

Life is hectic but I'm living in the calm

I speak what I live and you love what I speak

Cause I'm keeping the community informed

How can there be peace in a world full of hate

Most people can't even get along

There's a difference in religion and a difference in opinion

All my people in the prison stay strong

If you're in too deep and you know how I feel

Put your pickets on the white house lawn

Hip Hop in the building

If you feel me put your hands before ya

If you know what it's like to go to jail

And be dealing with lawyers

If you feel what I'm saying

Put your hands up, it's a role call

Police and politicians

Know that they can't hold ya'll

Emcee lyrically performing miracles

Ya'll can't mimic me, please

If you roamin' with the bees then you fittin' to do get stung

That's a price cause living ain't free

Ladies show ya hands if ya all fed up

Cause ya man ain't payin for his seed

Now he lookin at the child that he made out of greed

And the nigga can't handle what he sees

You're in too deep if you wanna look fly

So you kill another nigga for his jeans

Or if you're white and you don't like blacks

So you hang a noose from a school tree

I gotta keep it real till I can't breathe

And I'm learnin' not to fear death

So much to the point I could walk through a room

Of flying bullets with a bear chest

Gotta keep it true for the dudes in orange jumpsuits

Scooped by the boys in blue

Every city that I rock every show that I do

I'm a make some noise some for you (2x)

Hip Hop in the building

If you feel me put your hands before ya

If you know what it's like to go to jail

And be dealing with lawyers

If you feel what I'm saying

Put your hands up, it's a role call

Police and politicians

Know that they can't hold ya'll

How many know what it's like

To not see the sky for a couple of years?

Thinkin' bout the issues got a nigga goin crazy

With a tissue and a bucket of tears

Bugging and I'm wild

And they lovin my style

That's why I'm the government's fear

I make music felt by your hearts and soul as soon as it touches ya ears

I'm a renegade never been afraid

To say what's going on from day to day

And I'm no teddy bear nor do I rock a scarf

Cause I'm sharp like a razor blade

And we go crazy in the hood

Instead of 9 to 5 we work that 8 to 8

And then we're hopping on a train

If I had gas money I would drive for days and days

Just so I could escape the pain

Just so I could escape the rain

I feel like everything around me

Is never ever going to change

I'll be the lightness in the dark

Protect my people from the sharks

And if you're trying to find a movement

Look no further, get it started

Hip Hop in the building

If you feel me put your hands before ya

If you know what it's like to go to jail

And be dealing with lawyers

If you feel what I'm saying

Put your hands up, it's a role call

Police and politicians

Know that they can't hold ya'll
