Lyrics
I came into this world high as a bird From second hand cocaine powder I know it sounds absurd I never tooted but its 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 bonafide 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' (hopin'), wishin' (wishin'), prayin' To keep my faith in you (keep my faith), in you (yeah, yeah) 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 lustful 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 a lot like when we went to the woods And laid with the squirrels Durin' P.E., we'd be Explorin' each others privates Hunchin' with all our clothes on Until we felt excited then, ah Oh, now its on from here on out Put yo hands in the atmosphere If you know what I'm talkin' bout Now if too harsh then walk on out And I'll see you on the next song They call it horny Because its devilish Now see we dead wrong (ooh) Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun (oh) Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone So I'm hopin', wishin' (wishin'), prayin' (prayin') To keep my faith in you (keep my faith in you), in you (oh) People don't know the stress I'm dealin' with day to day Speakin' about the feelin' I'm possessin' for Renee Mopin' around and wonderin' 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, Lord 'Cause that's like backboards without the rims Me and my auntie was tight like Southwest Before the pinks moved in Like the niggas who owned the liquor stores Crack cocaine, pimps and whores Livin' up on this earth Before a nigga like daddy was born But they be makin' it seem That my music and crime are a team But I'm speakin' the truth not dreams (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 keep hopin') So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin' (prayin') To keep my faith in you (my faith in you), in you Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone (oh, yeah, ooh) So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin' To keep my faith in you (my faith in you), in you Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone (oh, yeah, ooh) So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin' (keep hopin, wishin', prayin') To keep my faith in you (my faith in you), my faith in you My faith in you My faith in you (keep my faith) My faith in you My faith in you My faith in you My faith
