Yo, this goes for all my brothers and sisters locked down   For all my peoples incarcerated, for those who ain't make it      Yo, in the housing, thousands seen early graves   Victims of wordily ways, memories stays engraved   All my live brothers, is locked down with high numbers   The young hunger, blind to these lies, they die younger      In this New World the Order slaughter men, women and children   Ten feet gates surround the building keep us sealed in   The projects, lifeless like a Vietnam vet   Constant war, sever threats of enemy conquest      Crooked cops comb my building complex that's in the rumble   Streets are like a jungle, can't let my cypher crumble   Vivid thoughts, Devils resort to trick knowledge   They kick garbage, lust for chicks and quick dollars      I know the pain the game bring, I did the same thing   Spaced out in the staircase, performing a sting   It's hard to keep control, I bless those who seek a scroll   Trying to reach a whole nation and break the sleeper hold      Not a role model, I walk a hard role to follow   I sold bottles of sorrow then chose poems and novels   The gospel was told, some souls it swallowed whole   Mentally they fold and they eventually sold      Their life and times, deadly like the virus design   But too, minute to dilute, the science is mine      You can't party your life away   Drink your life away   Smoke your life away   Fuck your life away      Dream your life away   Scheme your life away   'Cause your seeds   Grow up the same way      A voice cries from the wilderness of the North   A representation of the families that lost one   All victims of incarceration   Or other divisions of the family structure      Youths are injected with serums that leads   To skin irritations, babies being born with   Disfigurations, experimentations   On their faces there bear world relations      Of mothers that carry the pain   Of blood stained streets where sisters mourn and wail   Big brothers been slain from hails of gun fire   It lightly begins to rain screams of terror   Are hidden by the passing trains      This can't be little Shane, his uncle cried   As he drops to his nephew's side, holding his cane   Just give me a name, of who has inflicted this   Bitter sickness and left us to witness      Yeah, yo   Curses from war, innocent blood spills for days   Soothe in Godly ways, hands, solemn in praise   Tree of life, more precious than Wu is golden game   The wise self flourish inherit, Halls of Fame      Crime visions in my blood got me, locked in prison   While we die hard living people whine about religion, vision   Blow, spin and sin and killing what's revealing   It's a never ending battle with no ending or beginning, listen      Zero process, progress, become the hunted   America's most wanted, good life flaunted, want it   Some love the speed, some satisfy a need   Some want to be down, young gun seed, jungle breed      The stronger speed, someone die, someone bleed   One flew astray and then caught my little seed   Can it be, the ice have us trife life, made me grab the knife   The righteous man would be within these stripes pipes      Take in my energy, breath and know the rest   'Cause the good die young and the hard die best      You can't party your life away   Drink your life away   Smoke your life away   Fuck your life away      Dream your life away, scheme your life away   'Cause your seeds grow up the same way   'Cause your seeds grow up the same way   'Cause your seeds grow up the same way      Y'all bitches love dances and pulling down your pants   While your man's on tour, your spending up his advances   Your friends ain't shit, all they do is drink, smoke and suck dick   The whole projects is trapped in stench      You either high school drop-outs, one to three cop-outs   Fifteen years old, shorty ass and top out   Ninety-nine cent beer drinking pussy stinking   Fucking so much your ass and titties start shrinking      New World Order slave trade, minimum wage, better cage   Can a devil fool a Muslim nowadays   Inside my lab, I'm going mad   Took two drags off the blunts and started breaking down the flag      The blue is for the Creeps, the red is for the Bloods   The whites for the cops and the stars come from the clubs   Or the slugs that ignites through the night by the dawn   Early light, why is sons fighting for the stripe      As we dwell through this concrete hell, calling it home   Mama say, take your time young man and build your own   Don't wind up like your old dad   Still searching for them glory days he never had      So many bad want to scheme for American dream, no more kings   The cash rule everything now, we going down   These babies looking up to us, it's up to us   The Million Man March MC's, get on the bus      But envy, greed, lust and hate, separate   Though the devil mind state blood kin cannot relate   No longer, brothers, we unstable   Like Kane when he slew Abel, killing each other      You can't party your life away   Drink your life away   Smoke your life away   Fuck your life away      Dream your life away, scheme your life away   'Cause your seeds grow up the same way   'Cause your seeds grow up the same way   'Cause your seeds grow up the same way
