I came into this world high as a bird   From second hand cocaine powder   I know it sounds absurd   I never tooted but it's in my veins   While the rest of the country bungies off bridges   Without no snap back   And bitches they say they need that   To shake they fannies in the ass clubs      They go the other route   Turn each other out   Burn each other out   Where a bonified nigga like me   Can't even get no back rub these days   Ain't that bleak on they part   But let me hold it down   'Cause they shut you down   When you speak from your heart   Now that's hard      While we rantin' and ravin' 'bout gats   Nigga they made them gats   They got some shit that'll blow out our backs   From where they stay at      Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun   Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone   So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin'   To keep my faith in you, in you   (Yo, yo, yo)      I'm fascinated by the way yo   Nipples peak at me through yo blouse   Freaky me, freaky you   Can't help but be aroused   'Scuse me Lord less for thinkin'   But that's the way we was brought up   Sneakin' to watch playboy at night   We all must be caught up in worldly ways      Chemistry between boys and girls   Is alot like when we went to the woods   And laid with the squirrels   Durin' P.E., we'd be   Exploring each others privates   Hunchin' with all our clothes on   Until we felt excited then, aah      Oh now it's on from here on out   Put yo hands in the atmosphere   If you know what I'm talkin' 'bout   Now if two hearts done walk on out   And I see you on the next song   They call it horny   'Cause it's devilish   Now see we dead wrong      Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun   Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone   So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin'   To keep my faith in you, in you      People don't know the stress I'm dealing with day to day   Speakin' about the feeling I'm possessing for rene   Mopin' around and wondering where she stay   Saw her last that she lay   Give it another day I say   But the Lord he taketh away      Now give it back lawd   'Cause that's like backboards without the rims   Me and my auntie was tight like southwest   Before the pinks moved in   Like the niggas that owned the ligour store   Crack cocaine, pimps and whores   Livin' up on this earth   Before a nigga like daddy was born      But they makin' a scene   That my music and crime are a team   But I'm speakin' the truth not dreams   So what in the fuck they mean   My lyrics ain't clean      Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun   Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone   So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin'   To keep my faith in you, in you      Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun   Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone   So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin'   To keep my faith in you, in you      Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun   Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone   So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin'   To keep my faith in you, in you   My faith in you   My faith in you   My faith in you   My faith in you   My faith in you   My faith in you   My faith
