Bone Thugs-N-Harmony › Lyrics › The Righteous Ones

I am waiting for the righteous one
Enlighten us the righteous one
I am waiting for the righteous one
Enlighten us the righteous one
Are you waiting for the righteous one?
With the faith of titans with your beauty enlighten us

Mama said it's a cruel world and I still can't believe
Some of them things that I've seen with my own eyes
Weak niggas frontin' like the strong guys f*****' with them Bone guys
Nigga you die, you die'm that sneaky little nigga still off the hook

Off the chain and a muthafucking wire
You can label me a hitman that's out here for hire
Throwin' up blood 'til the world expires
Nigga's lost and it turned out
Ain't got no direction and don't know which way to go

Nigga save your soul 'cause we all gotta struggle or strive
And that's called survival
It's vital nigga better know what to die for
Living in the battlefield it's all about respect and honor
Niggas be strapped with the gats and armor
Ready for whatever nigga f*** the drama b**** what?

We can make a mil take a mil tell me how that paper feel
Is he real, is he real?
Would it make a nigga kill for the house on the hill?
Drive a brand new Benz and no bills?

F*****' right it will that's why I stay heated
'Cause I got to let 'em know a nigga's needed
Nigga f*****' with me while I'm weeded
Comin' with the b*** then nigga you eat it, eat it, eat it

I am waiting for the righteous one
Enlighten us the righteous one
Are you waiting for the righteous one?
With the faith of titans with your beauty enlighten us

And you're feeling so thuggish outta Columbus
Seen my mama? Hey, remember me baby?
I bought a Mercedes, a crib for my babies
And lately got him running from Lady Death, still I'm shady

Okay, they say he schizophrenic and crazy
Back in the 80's tryna get up out the foster homes in dreams a teen
And now my mama let's me down, she wouldn't pick up the phone
I'll make it all on my own
But that's a whole other song and y'all don't leave it alone

I save then baby, come on
Murderous, somebody noticed when
I strike through the killing fields, dead
T-Rock done got shot got a glock for the nigga artillery shop
Drop when the nigga pop and the party don't stop till they call the cops

Somebody get with the Bacardi, got to get to the block
You know it's me and my niggas, all the guerrillas, killas
Still I'm puttin' Biblical bop
Stay in rhythm with my eye on the clock and tick-tock

I am waiting for the righteous one
Enlighten us the righteous one
I am waiting for the righteous one

We got Mack-11's AK-47's
Yellin' mo murda with the beam got lots of felons, bloody bodies smellin'
Caught up in a 180 ah got grenades and cannons involved
When I'm barkin' just f*** with the 5th Dawg

Nigga we got a missile to haul off the shotty guns
And a barreled sawed-off
And all the body bags come with the white chalk
Nigga while you on a mission my nigga better protect the chest
A super nigga bullet-proof vest nigga take it from me Flesh

You don't wanna be sorry yet again
We don't need another nigga-less army
So investing me with artillery quality satisfactory guaranteed
I ain't no con I'm a nigga that's waiting for some s*** like Nam
To pop off in my country

When Kennedy was shot on the drive, the roof went on fire
Hide all, you little children in a dire
When I spark in the dark with a lighter
Light up and don't die in silence

Somebody was sitting on the backs of the lions
Somebody was drinking from the back of the lamb
Somebody was spittin' ammunition in the radio-even in Zion
Millennium and also through the city when they hated

Don't be bucking on my Bone
When someone's home and never play to me
And pray to me, can't play with me so label me a runaway slave
And "Cést la vie", murda Mo criminal's insane
Isn't worried about the aliens

Move faster and then ask 'em about
The state of men and help the matter
Brace yourself, I can't tell if I'm in peril
I ain't well, f****** up some, soaking up some
How will he run from jail?
When the jail's within himself, the righteous one

I am waiting for the righteous one
Enlighten us the righteous one
I am waiting for the righteous one
With the faith of titans with your beauty enlighten us
