After Dollars, No Cents (Feat. Silkk The Shocker)
Master P
3:35And the lady America was finally slaughtered And divided into three quarters Her children who was fit fell, peace Battlin', golden', platinum Screams of terror and endless bloodshed Pity was not spared for no man, woman, child or rapper Who didn't believe For his rap was felt by everyone And this time when trust had no meaning Family and friends who survived destroyed one another Desensitized to the words Love, peace, and brotherhood Soldiers, high and shoot to follow master And he opens up a path to reality For some judgement The devil took the straps off my nigga legs The Virgin Mary came when my homie bled Too many fuckin' thieves and enemies The vultures pecked the mouths for the green cheese I watched his soul leave his clothes left him cold On these streets, anything goes He was on the road (on the road) It took 'em ten to do him in The killers fled (damn), but they'll be back again He was Polo'd down with the matchin' socks I mean stuffed like a turkey with a half a key of cooked rocks The reaper came and took him I see the tears from his baby mama eyes overlookin' As I walk through the shadow's of death Where no rapper or no man can spare no breath But the kingdom of freedom is all they said But why the shackle and chain? My homie's life slayed From the cradle to the grave, every soldier shall ride Bite the apple of eternity every mother will cry Keep your eyes on your enemies, and watch your friends Put your life in your own hands, or your life will end Keep your eyes on your enemies, and watch your friends Put your life in your own hands, or your life will end Who's to say if it's the beginning or ending Start to finish, losin' or winnin' I'm trapped in a whole world of sin (what?) Who's to say your life is worth more than mine Should I give my heart to the President so he can live and I can die? Now my whole life I was scared The only judge is God But why do I (we) live by these man made laws Ten commandments, they say, do not steal or kill But I done lost too many niggas who say will split my wig for meal Heaven, leadin' up to the steps Everything I do wrong is shortening my days (is) leading to my death And even though I never seen Him, I believe there's a God But I'ma act your best friend turn to your enemy Men, times is hard Keep your eyes on your enemies, and watch your friends Put your life in your own hands, or your life will end Keep your eyes on your enemies, and watch your friends Put your life in your own hands, or your life will end As the sand slowly poured, I see flashes of life Time steady ticking, is this the end of my life? Blindfold his eyes when he look at God Behold no man or your life destroyed He took many prophets and poured to the kingdom Big ones and small ones, good ones and mean ones As the angel came to the ghetto from hell Some words are for the beast 'cause they didn't know no better So they sold to the pitchforks of the fire Do g's go-to heaven or just young niggas retire Crosses burned 'cause they souls was scarred Hoping for second chance, but ain't none when it's yo' final call Keep your eyes on your enemies, and watch your friends Put your life in your own hands, or your life will end
