Book Of Rhymes - 9th Wonder
You know what I'm sayin
Word but I wanted to bring a couple of books to the studio today
Man I foundthese shits up in the crib man in boxes man
I don't even remember when I was writing these shits
Or what's in these shits man probably a bunch of b******t man
How can I trust you when I can't trust me
Picture myself a old man a O G
Some niggas will conversate with liers all day
Time pass (Nah lemme start somethin' else)
Soul on ice death threats given by clowns
I guess livin' is prison when you live around clowns
I'm hexed cursed worse I been blessed first
I thought I was abnormal cause I would overcome any tasked called to
So there it is I'ma prince I'ma get slain
Some do minor sh*t swear they on the top of they game
Ya rhymin' is called"Vagina Monologue"
It kinda supports theories of scary niggas who should lie in the morgue
Rarely y'all come in contact with the real
Since Pun passed he was the last shine of sun I could feel
Yo said there's a few left since music's expressions of life
Damn I wish I took more time to write in my book of rhymes
Oh sh*t Tina - I been lookin' for this number damn
No this rhyme is weak
This is week I remember this b******t right here
(My Book of Rhymes)
Gandhi was a what the fu
Gandhi was a fool ni**a fight to the death
The US Army is a school that teach ya plights of conquest
(I wonder when I wrote this Nah it's weak)
The money's ya religion sky the limit live life
Numbers is big business makes the poor live trife
The glimmers of hope provoke those without dollars to dream
Through your existence become wealthy knowledge is king
Pimps and card sharks thiefs murderers with hard luck
Addicts and fiends prostitutes passin' for teens is my society
Cops that shoot blacks is routine for noteriety
Grow up watchin' well dressed niggas with charms
Beautiful ladies on their arms
Dangerous new cars was my fantasy for Nas
Rubbin my lips with Campophenique
Still behind the ears wet turned out to be
Pioneers vets amongst hustlers crack sellers and liers and squares
(Nah that was weak there)
My people be projects or jail never Harvard or Yale
Pardon me type in my 2way while I'm chargin' my cell
It's hard to be iced up with Gucci god poverty's real
I can't fight you cause you would sue me niggas be groupies
I see imitators tryin' to make albums spittin' my style
And they don't even realize that I notice they stealing Nas' sh*t
I pump some Rick James with that Teena Marie
My nina lean on me like Swoop it's crap this can't be
My book of rhymes
This can't be my book of rhymes writing this b******t
(My Book of Rhymes)
Nah neva that that aw why you laughin' Alchemist
Huh you a funny ni**a naw yeah
(My Book of Rhymes)
I'm tellin' you I'ma come up with some new sh*t now
***** that I'ma write again now ***** that
I musta been high on some sh*t mmm what the ***** is this
Look how we treat pregnancy women in the 'hood
Our values so low our values are no good
Things our mothers told us we shoulda heeded
Cause now we need it
We older almost able t
I'm jealous of you how come you so beautiful
Smelling fresh youthful intelligent while I'm stressin' and sh*t
Aiyo I envy you 'cause all you do is smile and things come your way
Such a innocent child is what some say
I get upset 'cause I just want to be treated the way you are
Like a star not a worry in this world thus far
But wait a minute we both need ya mother's attention
I must be crazy jealous of my own baby infant
