U - O.C./Pharoahe Monch/Prince Po/Oh No
Written by：M. Jackson/L. Baskerville
Trying to take it all in
Embrace it to the morning
Searching for ways to fall in patience calling
Trying to keep it together
Cats getting it twisted
I said it must be the weather
Common sense they missed it
Priorities all wrong
Friends ain't' friends no more
Bodies is sad songs
They hymns is limbs that's gone
Her thoughts were premeditated
She's not just your girl
She's a queen jaded
Sedated in a beautiful world
Family lies deceit fall guys
Within the clique cooking up petty beefs
They small fries
Crooked cops run the blocks
But we still the mom and pops
Not caught in the confusion
It's time to organize
City cutting programs
Land becoming no mans
Stands not allowed at our table having no plans
Protected by our armorartillery and karma
No unnecessary drama just loyalty and honor
What's good what's good
Is it conspiracy theories or just hood just hood
Are we a people that's simply misunderstood misunderstood
Is it fear or if he was given a chance you would
Make it happen by any means by any means
Do what you gotta do gotta do
Go where gotta go gotta go
Be who you gotta be
And that's u
Live you life u
Get money u
Live it up u
Make it happen
Some are just living for riches
Some are dying for change dying for change
Trying to get it in while the problem remains
Some made greedy decisions now they hiding in shame
Some not even a pot to piss in mopping for a grain
See I'm trying to get mine no time to explain
Bottom line break bread with folks doing the same
Gotta grind real players stay improving their game
Here I come getting paper yo we gotta maintain
It's like players no longer go deep legislators don't tweet
Our babies tote heat neighbors don't speak
Families challenge verbatim some smoking that leak
Jeopardizing lessons from natives I turn both cheeks
Concerns don't cease still gotta fierce vendetta
Still burn still a beast slash and pierce your leather
Submerge the technique perseverance forever
Prince po playing for keeps here cheers to the better
Run amok bunch of cuts fake lottery number ups
Mistrust love and disgust apologies blood and guts ah
Casualties of war tragedy is at your door
F**k all the formalities ni**a it's just us
Food clothing and shelter artilleries that'll melt ya
You tripping of the vodka should have added extra seltzer
Moving as one force but we don't call it delta
Prince po and oh no nasty habits fire that melt ya
Lets go
What's good what's good
Is it conspiracy theories or just hood just hood
Are we a people that's simply misunderstood misunderstood
Is it fear or if he was given a chance you would
Make it happen by any means by any means
Do what you gotta do gotta do
Go where gotta go gotta go
Be who you gotta be
And that's u
Live you life u
Get money u
Live it up u
Make it happen
Some are just living for riches
Some are dying for change dying for change
Trying to get it in while the problem remains
Some made greedy decisions now they hiding in shame
Some not even a pot to piss in mopping for a grain
See I'm trying to get mine no time to explain
Bottom line break bread with folks doing the same
Gotta grind real players stay improving their game
Here I come getting paper yo we gotta maintain maintain
