Clean Up

[Intro] Now this is the real thing, we found a groove, ha We move each other [Verse 1: Saukrates] I don't wanna leave you on the sidelines, dude The clock is ticking, get your mind right, dude Rememberin' the days when I was like you Why I ain't end up in the pine box? True What goes up, must come down So when you sittin' at the top, you've won one round Now here comes one generation that's so profound You ain't never heard the word "assassination" so pronounced Like as yo' ass go through the repercussion of winnin',  While you sinnin', the nation stay huntin' for you [Hook: Saukrates] And I don't mean to break the news to you niggas But the crabs in the bucket are true As true as a bullet, easy as a trigger 'pon it I'm sure you'll do what's best for you So clean up, don't ease up I know you'll do what's best for you [Verse 2: Krondon] Don't let the pressure leave your membrane bust I see this wicked world got your head messed up You couldn't cut it, so you should've been gave up Who told yo' ass hit that Angel Dust?! We the needy with bullets for the gritty Grind time 24/7, substance possessions Peter get Strong Arm'ed to pay Paul It's a hood loan, hollow hearts ain't involved Relationships can't resolve, we entertain spite Hunger pains, watch parallels evolve Realize size ain't shit, it's a movement Of the grit, or result to the time that's spent Not speculating gang bang culture, we live amongst All the drunk, know no better, so you get stuck Bad luck's contagious, but talent is hereditary A few get to shine, but the rest behind cages Scary [Hook: Saukrates] And I don't mean to break the news to you niggas But the crabs in the bucket are true As true as a bullet, easy as a trigger pon it I'm sure you'll do what's best for you So clean up, don't ease up I know you'll do what's best for you [Verse 3: Black Thought] Yo, Conflict is Crucial, the drama is just futile, hush Kinda make you wanna wonder, what to do you know? It must Get a little easier on some "Ooh Child" – trust People cut-throat, this is the new style I know your man just passed, but this too shall Just keep those crabs out of where you lay your roots down They in the bucket tryna make they splash And cake boys figure–fuck it, they gon' take they cash 'Cause it's like, "I gotta get it, gots-gots to get it" Especially in a city where cops not permitted So box lock your digits I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but shit's hot – watch them niggas A few is gonna flat-out walk up and say "Fuck you" Others is gon' play it like, "Aye, what you been up to?" Knowing they only wanna get somebody to touch you I know regardless you gon' do what you must do – true (You) [Hook: Saukrates] And I don't mean to break the news to you niggas But the crabs in the bucket are true As true as a bullet, easy as a trigger pon it I'm sure you'll do what's best for you So clean up, don't ease up I know you'll do what's best for you [Outro] Me? You know I ain't high Nigga, I ain't high You know why? 'Cause I can't truly be high unless all my motherfuckin' friends is high I look around, I see my friends Do you know what I feel like doing? (What you feel like doing?) I feel like sharing my shit
