d double e to the y, a, h. Why they hate get maylay ride they way.
Slide that k 4-7, cold weapon, catch em at the next one roll wit moe protection.
For spittin and disrespectin, campaign gang bang in this election. Who contestin ?
Got my blessin's collide wit the young gun, time to ride threatining the lives of my loved one.

(Deeyah):
from the land of the free to the jewel of the empire
does the truth only come from the top of a holy man's spire?
From three paces back, covered head to toe
are the rules just for the masses and written just for show

(Deeyah):
where the beat goes -- nobody knows
where the street goes -- nobody knows

(Deeyah):
do you stand up, lay down or follow?
What will it be?
Will it all be the same again tomorrow?
What will it be?
You can claim it but the words are hollow
do you stand up, lay down or swallow?
What will it be?

(Deeyah):
thug life, street life - both sides of the world
not a bit of glamour ? No one listens to the words
survival of the fittest ? Or maybe how you?re born
the kids bear the burden when there?s no shelter from the storm

(Deeyah):
where the children go -- nobody knows
where the money goes -- nobody knows

(Deeyah):
do you stand up, lay down or follow?
What will it be?
Will it all be the same again tomorrow?
What will it be?
You can claim it but the words are hollow
do you stand up, lay down or swallow?
What will it be?

we dont take it lightly when you threatinin women,
how you have so much hate and faith in religion.
Fake in the system, need to take a break wit the dissin,
before you end up in the lake where they fishin.
Hearin bout the muslim madona,
asian j lo, lookin for drama (ok)
if you say so. If you that religious and not wit trendy clothes,
then what you doin even watchin videos.
