LIL DEE'S VERSE
I'M ON THE RUN FOR PACKIN' GUNS,BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS AIN'T SEEN MY SON
I'M GOIN' NUTS, STAYIN' TUCKED, I'M IN THE CUTTS UNTIL I'M CUFFED
YOU KNOW WHATS UP, WAY TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO COMPREHEND
HOMIES LOCKED UP IN THE PIN, MORE MONEY FOR THE GOVERNMENT
I'M WAY OFF ON SOME OTHER SHIT, I'M SURE YOU HEARD ABOUT IT
HOW WE OUT HERE GETTIN' ROUDY, ON THE BLOCKS OF NORTHERN CALI
QUICK TO RUN UP IN YOUR HOUSES, ON THE GROUND BITCH,
WANNA TEST, DONT GET BLASTED, I'M AN ADDICT TO THIS ACTION
STAY COMMITTED WIT A PASSION
I SEE YOU LOOKIN FOR SOME ANSWERS BOY, I'M LOOKIN FOR ADVANCEMENTS
IF I SEE YOU OUT IN TRAFFIC, AUTOMATIC'S SITTIN PASSENGER
BY THE TIME YOU GO N GRAB YOUR GUN, THAT'S IF YOU EVEN HAVIN' ONE
YOU'LL BE LEAVIN' IN AN AMBULANCE, GRIPPIN' ON YOUR ABDOMEN
YOUR PANICIN' BUT WHY, CAUSE YOUR LOCKEDUP N YOU LIED
ABOUT THE THANGS THAT YOU WAS DOIN' IN THIS LIFE THAT WE PURSUIN'
WATCH THE D A TRY TO USE THIS, TRY TO SAY THAT WE'RE A NUSENSE
ENOUGH COMOTION, AND CONFUSION, THIS IS MORE THAN JUST SOME MUSIC.....
SPELLING'S KINDA OFF BUT FUCK IT.....
AND THANK YA'LL FOR THE SUPPORT...... LIL DEE

BURY ME ON EAST 18TH STREET LYRICS
I REMEMBER SOMEONE WAS ASKIN' FOR LYRICS TO THIS SONG, HERE'S MY VERSE AND HOOK....
BURY ME ON EAST 18TH STREET....FIRST VERSE AND HOOK
I CAN'T EXPLAIN THE FEELIN' I GET EVERYTIME I COME BACK FROM LEAVIN' THE YOC
THOUGHTS OF LOVE HATRED AND PAIN, FLOOD MY BRAIN 'TIL MY HEART FEELS A SHOCK
I THINK OF THEM BLOCKS, BACK IN THE DAY, AS TEN OF US WALK, TWO PACKIN' SOME WEIGHT
WE'D SNAP OUT THE GATE, KNOWN TO PACKAGE THEIR FATE, WHEN ALIENS GROUPED UP, GOT DRUNK AND GOT BRAVE
WE PUT IN MORE WORK THAN THE BALLERZ WITH CHOPPERS, A FEW GOOD REVOLVERS, A COUPLE OF SHOTGUNS
BUT WE WAS SOME KILLAZ BEHIND THEM TRIGGAZ, WE HANDLED THE BUSINESS THAT MADE OTHERS QUIVER
WE DIDN'T SHIVER, WE'D AIM AND DELIVER, SOME HOT METAL SLUGZ THROUGH LUNGS AND LIVERS
OF FOREIGNERS THREATENIN' OUR WAY OF LIFE, DISRESPECTIN' WITH CUETES AND KNIVES
ALOT OF SHIT CHANGED IN THE LAST TEN YEARS
THE GANGS, THE NAMES, SOME HOMIEZ SWITCHED GEARS
THAT COULDN'T CONTROL THEIR FEARS AND TEARS
LIVIN' UP IN THESE REARVIEW MIRRORS
MY DEATH IS NEAR BUT I WON'T STEER AWAY FROM THE FATE THAT AWAITS TO GREET ME
IF IT'S HEAVEN SWELL, IF IT'S HELL OH WELL, JUST BURY ME ON EAST 18TH STREET
CHORUS:
WHEN I DIE JUST LET MY BODY LIE IN PEACE
BENEATH THE EARTH AND SKY OF ANTIOCH ON EAST EIGHTEENTH
IN CASE MY SOUL IS CONDEMNED TO FOREVER WANDER THESE STREETS
I CAN STILL WATCH OVER MY HOMIEZ WHEN I'M GONE AND DECEASED
THERE YOU GO....
IF A MOD GETS A CHANCE CAN YOU OPEN AND SLAP THAT IN THE VITAL LYRICS THREAD THEN CLOSE IT AGAIN THANKS....

ON THE EDGE LYRICS 2ND VERSE: WOODIE
SHOW A LITTLE MERCY LORD
YOU DID DROP US IN THE MIDDLE OF SOME DIRTY WARS
I KNOW LUCIFER BUT STILL I GIVE MY LOVE TO YOU
PLEASE UNDERSTAND MY ACTIONS STEM FROM WHAT THESE JUDGES DO
IN '98 WHEN BLACKBIRD DIED YEAH I CRIED
1N '99 AGAIN I CRIED AFTER RAYMOND DIED
FOR SEVERAL YEARS SHED SO MANY TEARS THEY DRIED UP
PAIN MANIFESTED TO ANGER THAT KEEPS ME FIRED UP
YEAH I SMILE AND CRACK JOKES WHEN I'M WITH THE HOMIEZ
BUT WHEN ALONE I'M IN A ZONE WHERE FEW WOULD WANNA KNOW ME
I'M MURDER PRONE EVERYTIME I STEP OUTSIDE MY HOME
LAW ENFORCEMENT I DESPISE MAKE 'EM TASTE THEIR OWN
BAD MEDICINE THEY FORCE ON CITIZENS EVERYDAY
KIDNAP 'EM, LOCK 'EM IN A CAGE WATCH 'EM BEG AND PRAY
HUMILIATE 'EM STRIP 'EM BUTT NAKED BEND 'EM OVER
MAKE 'EM COUGH 4 TIMES FOR THE FALLEN SOLDIERS
USE THEIR BILLY CLUB TO BREAK THEIR BONES HOW THEY DO US
THEN SHOCK 'EM WITH THEIR TAZER GUN WHILE RESTRAINED IN CUFFS
PEPPER SPRAY THEIR EYES BLIND AND THEIR THROAT 'TIL THEY CAN'T BREATHE
THEN LET 'EM DIE SLOWLY KNOWIN' THAT THEY CAN'T LEAVE
TO FINISH UP USE THEIR OWN GUN TO SHOOT 'EM IN THE GUT
RELEASIN' ACID FROM THEIR STOMACH THAT'LL EAT 'EM UP
AND TO ANYBODY QUESTIONIN' MY WAY OF THINKIN'
OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T SMELLED THE DEATH THESE DEMONZ REEPIN'
CHORUS:
EVERYDAY AND EVERY NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!!!
MY SANITY IS STANDIN' ON THE EDGE LOOKIN' OVER THE LEDGE
WHILE MAMA PRAYS I FIGHT TO KEEP MY MIND RIGHT!!!!
SLEEPIN' WITH MY LEAD UNDER MY HEAD QUICK TO HOP OUT THE BED
AND POINT AND AIM AT EVERY NOISE IN THE NIGHT!!!!
PACIN' MY HOUSE 'TIL SUNLIGHT IN MY ARMORED VEST, BOXERS, SOCKS AND CORTEZ
BEEN INFECTED BY LIFE'S POISONOUS BITE!!!!
SINCE I LEFT A MAN SPREAD, FULL OF LEAD, FLED AND LEFT HIM FOR DEAD
SHOW A LITTLE MERCY LORD
YOU DID DROP US IN THE MIDDLE OF SOME DIRTY WARS
I KNOW LUCIFER BUT STILL I GIVE MY LOVE TO YOU
PLEASE UNDERSTAND MY ACTIONS STEM FROM WHAT THESE JUDGES DO
IN '98 WHEN BLACKBIRD DIED YEAH I CRIED
1N '99 AGAIN I CRIED AFTER RAYMOND DIED

TALK 2 MY NINE: 1ST VERSE WOODIE
I TOOK THE BAD WITH THE GOOD AND STARTED MAKIN' MOVES TO BETTER
THE FUTURE FOR MY SMALL GANG IN NINETEEN NINETY-SEVEN
PUT MY LARK UP FOR COLLATERAL AND GOT A SMALL LOAN
TO START AN INDEPENDENT LABEL THE HOMIEZ COULD CALL HOME
HAD ALOT OF ROAD TO PAVE BUT WE DISPLAYED OUR THIRST
ON YOC INFLUENCED SHORTLY AFTER HAD TO FACE THE WORST
WHEN WE LOST THE BACKBONE OF OUR MINI MILITIA
WITH BLACKBIRD GONE THE WEAK FADED OUT OF THE PICTURE
LEFT WITH A HANDFUL OF FIVE-STAR, WEST TWENTIETH DIE HARDS
A FEW STILL IN THE STREETS AND A COUPLE BEHIND BARS
WE STUCK TO OUR SIDEARMS AND MIXED IT WITH MUSIC
AND SPOKE OF LIFE AS WE KNEW IT, EMBRACED OUR TALENT AND USED IT
THE WAY AUTHORITIES VIEW IT, THEY TELL A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY
AND HAVE THE PUBLIC THINK WE KILLAZ ONLY OUT FOR THE GLORY
THAT SHARE NO VALUES OR PRINCIPLES TOTIN' PISTOLS AND RIFLES
WE MIGHT BE TERRITORIAL BUT THEY THE DEVILS DISCIPLES
YEAH WE MIGHT FIGHT FOR RESPECT AND EVEN MURDER FOR FREEDOM
'CAUSE IT'S OUR RIGHT TO PROTECT OUR PEOPLE FROM THOSE WHO MISTREAT 'EM
AND THAT APPLIES TO ANY THREAT THAT WIELDS INTENTIONS TO HARM US
THEY USE THE NEWS TO ALARM US, A PLOY TO RUSE AND DISARM US
I KNOW THAT MANY WON'T COMPREHEND THE TONGUE THAT I'M SPEAKIN' IN
LOOK BEYOND THE TELEVISION HOPEFULLY IT STARTS SINKIN' IN
FIND QUESTIONS HELD DEEP WITHIN' THE BACK OF YOUR MIND
SEEK OUT THE ANSWER THEN TEACH A FRIEND, FEED FACTS TO THE BLIND
AND HELP ENLIGHTEN OUR KIND, NO SLACK SO TIGHTEN YOUR LINE
OR YOU MIGHT FIND YOURSELF WITHIN' THE LINE OF SIGHT ON A NINE
SOME SAY MY MIND IS IN A STATE OF PARANOIA, THEY RIGHT
I SAY PARANOIA'S UNDERRATED IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!!!!
IF DEBATIN' RETALIATION KNOW I STAY ON MY TOES
AND STAY WITH MULTIPLE WEAPONS BENEATH THEM EVERYDAY CLOTHES
I'LL READ THOSE VIOLENT INTENTIONS FROM BODY LANGUAGE DISPLAYED
NOT LET YOU KNOW I SEEN YA' COMIN' FROM A MILE AWAY
CHORUS: 2X
IT'S HARD TO BE REAL WE WALK A FINE LINE
DON'T TALK TO ME CHILL, HERE TALK TO MY NINE
IF THEY CROSS THAT FINE LINE THEY MUST'VE LOST THEIR MIND
IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME WE LEFT SOMEBODY BOXED IN PINE
I TOOK THE BAD WITH THE GOOD AND STARTED MAKIN' MOVES TO BETTER
THE FUTURE FOR MY SMALL GANG IN NINETEEN NINETY-SEVEN
PUT MY LARK UP FOR COLLATERAL AND GOT A SMALL LOAN
TO START AN INDEPENDENT LABEL THE HOMIEZ COULD CALL HOME
HAD ALOT OF ROAD TO PAVE BUT WE DISPLAYED OUR THIRST

"A REBELS PRAYER" WITH A-WAX & B-DAWG
CHORUS:
I LOVE YOU MAMA, YOU FOUGHT TO RAISE ME THE RIGHT WAY
AND ALWAYS HAD MY BACK DESPITE WHAT POLICE MIGHT SAY
ABOUT MY CHARACTER, ETERNALLY I'M THERE FOR YA'
AND ALWAYS HAVE YOU IN MIND WHEN I CROSS BARRIERS
VERSE:
YOUR SON'S A REBEL, BUT RIGHTEOUS AT EVERY LEVEL
CONSIDERED BY SOME A DEVIL, FOR FIGHTIN' USIN' MY METAL
PAMPERED SOULS, THEY DON'T KNOW OF WHAT THEY TALKIN' ABOUT
IGNORANT ZOMBIES IN SOCIETY WALKIN' WITHOUT
A SENSE OF STREET LIFE LIVIN', BUT QUICK TO STATE AN OPINION
ON THE REASON WHY MY PEOPLE AND I CONSTANTLY TRIPPIN'
SILVER SPOON FED, BORN WITH BREAD, NEVER HAD TO STRUGGLE
GOT A SLAP ON THEIR WRIST EVERY TIME THEY GOT IN TROUBLE
WHERE AS US ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE SHEEP TO THE GOVERNMENT
AND PRISONS ARE CORRALS FOR LOWER CLASS TRYIN' TO COVER RENT
SO MANY PETTY CASES, KEEP US LOCKED AWAY IN CAGES
JUST ONE OF MANY WEALTHY SCHEMES TO PRODUCE LABOR WITHOUT WAGES
THEY KNOW VIOLENCE IS CONTAGIOUS, THATS WHY THEY BOMBARD AND PLAGUE US
WITH TERROR, TO JUSTIFY WARS WERE FIGHTIN' IN ASIA
WE GOTTA LOOK THROUGH THE CAMOFLAUGE AND FIGHT TO RECANT THEIR LAWS
I'M FAR FROM AN ANGEL BUT BEST BELIEVE I FIGHT AND STAND WITH GOD
CHORUS:
I LOVE YOU MAMA, YOU FOUGHT TO RAISE ME THE RIGHT WAY
AND ALWAYS HAD MY BACK DESPITE WHAT POLICE MIGHT SAY
ABOUT MY CHARACTER, ETERNALLY I'M THERE FOR YA'
AND ALWAYS HAVE YOU IN MIND WHEN I CROSS BARRIERS
VERSE:
YOUR SON'S A REBEL, BUT RIGHTEOUS AT EVERY LEVEL
CONSIDERED BY SOME A DEVIL, FOR FIGHTIN' USIN' MY METAL
PAMPERED SOULS, THEY DON'T KNOW OF WHAT THEY TALKIN' ABOUT
IGNORANT ZOMBIES IN SOCIETY WALKIN' WITHOUT

WE GOTTA LOOK THROUGH THE CAMOFLAUGE AND FIGHT TO RECANT THEIR LAWS
I'M FAR FROM AN ANGEL BUT BEST BELIEVE I FIGHT AND STAND WITH GOD
A MATTER OF TIME - WOODIE
1ST VERSE:
FLEEIN' THE SCENE AGAIN WITH BLOOD ON MY CORTEZ
MIGHT, BE LOOKIN' AT MURDER MY TEAM CAN'T AFFORD THIS
JUST ANOTHER PREDICAMENT, UNEXPECTED I'M INFLICTED WITH
BUT THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT, COMPLETELY SOBER NOT LIQUOR BENT
IT SEEMS MY CALLIN'S KICKIN' IN, NO LONGER A CITIZEN
LABELED STREET TERRORISTS BY TERRORISTS COMMITTIN' BIGGER SINS
KILLIN' FOR THE DIVIDENDS AND PILLAGIN' MILLIONS OF MEN
WHILE WE JUST TRYIN' TA KEEP RESPECT WITHIN THE STREETS WE LIVIN' IN
REBELLIOUS ATTITUDE WITH NO GRATITUDE FOR AMERICA
WHERE UNCLE SAMS PLAN FOR THE POOR IS WAR OR A PAIR OF CUFFS
THIS COUNTRY DOESN'T CARE FOR US, TIME TO BECOME AWARE AND TRUST
NOTHIN' THAT'S PRESENTED BY GOVERNMENT SPONSERED MEDIA
SPENDIN' MORE MONEY ON PRISONS AND WARS THAN ON SCHOOLS
AND MAKIN' UP THEIR OWN RULES AS THEY PLAY US FOR FOOLS
STRIPPIN' OUR WEAPONS AND TOOLS, THAT COULD BE USED TO FIGHT BACK
AGAINST TYRANNICAL RULE, WHEN CIVIL RIGHTS BEEN HIJACKED
IT'S LIKE THAT, YOU DISAGREE? EXPLAIN THIS TO ME
NATIVES WERE RAPED AND ROBBED BUT AIN'T TAUGHT IN SCHOOL HISTORY
THEY SKIP OVER THE MISERY IF IT BENIFITS THEIR PROPAGANDA
HOPE I LIVE TO SEE THE DAY ALL RIGHTEOUS SOULS UNITE AND STAND UP
STRAPPED UP TAKIN' SHOTS AT COPS IF THAT'S WHAT'S NEEDED
KILL A FEW BEFORE MY LIFE IS LOST AND I'VE SUCCEEDED
IN HELPIN' TO OVERTHROW, A SYSTEM OUT OF CONTROL
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE BATTLE UNFOLDS
CHORUS:
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME, WHAT YA GONNA DO?
DON'T BE STAGNENT, GATHER YOUR MIND BEFORE THEY COME FOR YOU
BE PREPARED TO BATTLE FOR FREEDOM, THAT'S WHAT IT'S COMIN' TO
REFUSE TO BE THEIR CATTLE LET'S BLEED 'EM, THEN START WITH SOMETHIN' NEW
YOU WANNA RIDE? I GOT THAT EXTRA GUN FOR YOU
DON'T BE SCARED TO DIE FIGHTIN' FOR SOMETHIN' TRUE
SEE THRU THEIR WICKED AGENDA, MAKE MOVES TO REMOVE THE CENTER
OF OPERATIONS THEY'RE STAGIN', CAGIN' US UP FOR LEGAL TENDER
VERSE 2
THEY SLAP OUR FACE IN THE GANG FILES, NO CASE WHEN WE FACE TRIAL
CONVINCIN' THE PUBLIC WE'RE NOTHIN' BUT CRIMINAL WASTE PILES
THAT NEED TO BE DISPOSED OR ENCLOSED WITH AN URGENCY
A STATE OF EMERGENCY I DECLARE TIL THEY MURDER ME
YOU REALLY THINK THEY PLOTTIN' ON YOUR DEATH? HOMIE CERTAINLY
JUST LISTEN TO THE WORDS I SPEAK, YOU THINK THAT THEY AIN'T HEARD OF ME
A NORTHERN CALI REBEL PULLIN' SHEETS BACK
LOOKIN AT POLICE LIKE SLAUGHTERED CATTLE ON A MEAT RACK
PRE-PACKED, DIE PIGGY DIE LITTLE PIGGY DIE DIE
TELL THEM DEVILS THAT YOU WORKIN' FOR IT'S EYE FOR AN EYE
TOOK THE LIFE OF MY BROTHER, FOR THAT I RIDE LIKE FEW OTHER
PLANT A MOLE IN MY CIRCLE, THAT'S A DEAD UNDERCOVER
YA'LL BEEN PICKIN' US OFF FOR YEARS, KEEPIN OUR THOUGHTS IMPAIRED
CREATIN' LAWS FROM FEAR, KEEPIN US LOCKED ON TIERS
AND IT DOESN'T COST TO CARE BUT MONEY STAY TALKIN' WHERE
DEMOCRACY IS YET TO TREAT THE MASSES IMPOVERISHED FAIR
VERSE 3
BLATANTLY I'LL MAKE YA SEE THIS WORLD FOR IT IS
MANY TURN A BLIND EYE BY SHOOTIN' SMACK OR POPPIN THIZZ
WHILE THEY OVERSTOCKIN' PIGS PRE-MATURELY COCKIN' SIGS
FOR THE SLIGHTEST DISTURBANCE OF THE PEACE, THEY SOCKIN' KIDS
IN THE FACE, POLICE CATCHIN' NO CASE
BUT LET A LIL' HOMIE REGULATE AND PRISONS EMBRACE
CONSIDERED WASTE BY THE UPPER CLASS, LOCK US UP THEN DOUBLE TAX
EVERY EXTRA DIME WE MAKE TO PAY FOR OUR TROUBLED PAST
THAT THEY HELPED TO CREATE, WHERE NEGATIVES ILLUMINATE
REWARDED IF YOU CHOOSE TO HATE, REBEL PROMISED A GRUESOME FATE
YOU POOR THEY LOOK AT YOU AS PREY, USE YOU UP THEN DO AWAY
WITH YOUR BODY AND MAKE YOUR FAMILY PAY TO LET YOUR RUINS DECAY
SO WHO'S TO SAY THE NEWS RELAYS ANY OUNCE OF TRUTH
WHEN THEY'RE SO FOCUSED ON OUR DEATH AND EVERY BREATH DENOUNCIN' YOUTH
IT'S AN OBVIOUS PLAN TO DISTRACT US FROM WHAT'S AT HAND
AS THEY INVADE ANOTHER LAND WE'RE WATCHIN' MAKIN' THE BAND, DAMN?

"Malicious entities hell sent, try to rip my soul from my flesh
paralyzed cant move my body, where do God be? as I lay strugglin' for breath my body motionless eyes open, hoping this isnt my chosen death
At the moment i thought my life was over whatever was holdin me suddenly left
bye bye..why i..didnt die, i cant answer why try
i'm busy fightin' inner demons nightly and daily prayin i die high
tryin to keep possession of my sanity, dont want to admit life's damaged me, got to keep it together for family often wonder if God's abandoned me, streets got me grippin heat randomly hopin nobody tests the man in me,
if i feel any ill-fated plans for me i will try to peel your canopy
in my wicked mind lies a gifted mind, intelligent but inflicted mind,
saturated with depicted crimes, livin in apocolyptic times
time to get the fuck up out of here, like county jail after about a year
fuck the police state it loud and clear for every citizen they murder without a tear
maybe i'm slightly psychotic and my mentality goes unshared
so if i'm wrong let me know, hit the rum, light the blunt blaze your gun in the air."--Woodie
CHORUS:
KARMA'S LIKE MEDUSA SHE CAN TURN YOU TO STONE
RAISED IN A WORLD WHERE I BEEN CURSED SINCE THE FIRST DAY I WAS BORN
I "PRAY! PRAY!" I WAKE UP KNOWIN I MIGHT DIE TODAY
IT'S "MAYDAY!!" WISH I COULD PACK UP AND JUST FLY AWAY
"Malicious entities hell sent, try to rip my soul from my flesh
paralyzed cant move my body, where do God be? as I lay strugglin' for breath my body motionless eyes open, hoping this isnt my chosen death
At the moment i thought my life was over whatever was holdin me suddenly left

WOODIE VERSE
-N- OUR BLOOD
GODAMNIT, CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE MY SOULS BEEN CATAPULTED FROM ANOTHER PLANET
CAUSE WHO KNOWS?
I STILL CAN'T MAKE SENSE OF THE MISERY..JUST KNOW IT'S UNAVOIDABLE, THAT AIN'T NO MYSTERY, IT SEEMS FUNERALS
OUTNUMBER CHILDBIRTH WITHIN MY CIRCLE
ONE STEP CLOSER TO MY LAST BREATH FOR EVERY LIFE AND DEATH DECISION I HURDLE
FIGHTIN' TO KEEP A LITTLE JOY IN MY LIFE, CAN'T LET THESE VOICES AT NIGHT
PERSUADE OR POISON MY SIGHT, NEVER WAGE WAR OUT OF SPITE
I GOTTA KEEP IT TOGETHER, NEVER SELL OUT FOR THE CHEDDER
I PREFER TO DIE SOLID THAN LIVE LIFE WITH LOYALTY SEVERED
LEARN TO CHERISH THE LITTLE THINGS THAT THIS LIFE BRINGS
A MANSION ON THE BEACH WITH WIFE AND KIDS HAS A NICE RING
BUT DON'T TRADE IN YOUR SOUL FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN LOVE FOR ANOTHER
SUCH AS YOUR SISTER OR MOTHER, YOUR FATHER, COUSIN OR BROTHER
WHETHER RELATED BY BLOOD OR NOT, YOU KNOW WHO YOUR FAMILY IS
THE ONES THAT PICK YOU UP WHEN YOU LAND IN PISS!!
CHORUS:LOU-E-LOU & WOODIE
CAN'T KICK IT WITH THOSE, WHOSE COURAGE BE BRITTLE
CAN'T KICK IT WITH THOSE THAT TOUCH THEIR TOES THEN PLEAD AQUITTAL
WE DOT i's CROSS t's, MAKE THE WHOLE SPOT SIZZLE
WE GOT NO SUGAR -N- OUR BLOOD, NOT EVEN JUST A LITTLE!
-N- OUR BLOOD
GODAMNIT, CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE MY SOULS BEEN CATAPULTED FROM ANOTHER PLANET
CAUSE WHO KNOWS?
I STILL CAN'T MAKE SENSE OF THE MISERY..JUST KNOW IT'S UNAVOIDABLE, THAT AIN'T NO MYSTERY, IT SEEMS FUNERALS
OUTNUMBER CHILDBIRTH WITHIN MY CIRCLE
ONE STEP CLOSER TO MY LAST BREATH FOR EVERY LIFE AND DEATH DECISION I HURDLE
FIGHTIN' TO KEEP A LITTLE JOY IN MY LIFE, CAN'T LET THESE VOICES AT NIGHT
PERSUADE OR POISON MY SIGHT, NEVER WAGE WAR OUT OF SPITE
I GOTTA KEEP IT TOGETHER, NEVER SELL OUT FOR THE CHEDDER
I PREFER TO DIE SOLID THAN LIVE LIFE WITH LOYALTY SEVERED
LEARN TO CHERISH THE LITTLE THINGS THAT THIS LIFE BRINGS
A MANSION ON THE BEACH WITH WIFE AND KIDS HAS A NICE RING
BUT DON'T TRADE IN YOUR SOUL FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN LOVE FOR ANOTHER
SUCH AS YOUR SISTER OR MOTHER, YOUR FATHER, COUSIN OR BROTHER
WHETHER RELATED BY BLOOD OR NOT, YOU KNOW WHO YOUR FAMILY IS
THE ONES THAT PICK YOU UP WHEN YOU LAND IN PISS!!
CHORUS:LOU-E-LOU & WOODIE
CAN'T KICK IT WITH THOSE, WHOSE COURAGE BE BRITTLE
CAN'T KICK IT WITH THOSE THAT TOUCH THEIR TOES THEN PLEAD AQUITTAL
WE DOT i's CROSS t's, MAKE THE WHOLE SPOT SIZZLE
WE GOT NO SUGAR -N- OUR BLOOD, NOT EVEN JUST A LITTLE!
