LYRICS FOR "A8"
Yo son
Yo
They on some old Las Vegas b*******
I can't take them fools seriously
I mean
They ain't shootin' nobody
(Shootin' nobody)
They ain't talkin' about clothes
You know
Yo
(What kind of plan you got?)
I got a plan that none of y'all ever talked about
'Cause underground niggas don't be thinking
I'm going kinda [unverified] nino [unverified] like Lincoln
How can you make moves when you're always strapped under?
I plan to read the scriptures
I wonder what really makes the world go round
Not thugs
You be in it for a quick blink but when you start to sink
You be deeper than you was when you should've stop to think
About your consequence
Brothers use the wicked life 'cause of lack of confidence
The devil jacked you for your sense now
And that's no accident
The rest of your development
The [unverified] of your monument
Now ya
No one blame but your body
You livin' life
You chose to be involved with no deals and crisis
In a hole 'cause of lust and greed
Your mind held captive and unable to exceed
Come out and follow the Peas
We proceed to give you
(What
A
We givin' you what you want
(We give you what you want)
(We give you what you want)
(We give you what you want)
And you proceed
On fienin' on what you need
(We give you what you need)
(We give you what you need)
(We give you what you need)
Yo
But others getting caught up within the line of committing sins
And everybody seems to wanna rule
It's so ridicule we gotta find the right cure
We approach to penetrate equivalent and strong
To wash out individual with evil forms
Conquering battles in these fields of greed
Dark faces all around me makes it hard for me to see
Who's got my back and who will back stab
I'm ready for foes and hoes who tries to grab
My currency
The [unverified] crip to runs to the ones who got some
The war billows to those who makes action
The main caption is to bring satisfaction
If you like that contend you see
How you suppose to call yourself a real MC
So what's the definition of a true MC
(Someone who rocks swell and put my soul at ease)
Lyrics went entertaining capability
(Now that's the realest
I'm givin' you what you want
I'm givin' you what you want
Na na na
I'm givin' you what you want
Na na na
A
We givin' you what you want
(We give you what you want)
(We give you what you want)
(We give you what you want)
And you proceed
On fienin' on what you need
(We give you what you need)
(We give you what you need)
(We give you what you need)
Hey
You are blinded by lights
God bless you with the gift of only show
Business but you a careless professional
Is where your failing will show
Over indos and end only cash flows
Makin' it big but yet
You will pay in your dues bringin' on sorrow
Here today
Feel the pain and I never borrow
From another man
Watch the Peas as we make a stand
A
We givin' you what you want
(We give you what you want)
(We give you what you want)
(We give you what you want)
And you proceed
On fienin' on what you need
(We give you what you need)
(We give you what you need)
(We give you what you need)
