Lyrics

I came into this world high as a bird From second hand cocaine powder I know it sounds absurd I never tooted but it's 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 club They go the other route Turn each other out Burn each other out Where a bonified 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 ranting and raving '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 hoping (hoping), wishin' (wishing), praying To keep my faith in you (keep my faith in you), in you (Yo, yo, yo) I'm fascinated by the way your nipples peak at me through your blouse Freaky me, freaky you Can't help but be aroused 'Scuse me Lord less for thinking 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 Exploring each others privates Hunchin' with all our clothes on Until we felt excited then Oh now it's on from here on out Put your hands in the atmosphere If you know what I'm talkin' about Now if two hearts done walk on out And I see you on the next song They call it horny Because it's 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', wishing, praying (praying) To keep my faith in you (to keep my faith in you), in you (oh) People don't know the stress I'm dealing with day to day (day) Speakin' about the feelings I'm possessing for Renee Moping around and wondering 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 that owned the liquor stores Crack cocaine, pimps and whores Living up on this earth Before a nigga like daddy was born But they making a scene That my music and crime are team But I'm speaking the truth not dreams (dreams) So what in the fuck they mean My lyrics ain't clean Ooh (yeah), I fear the battle's just begun (just begun) Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone (so I keep) So I'm hopig, (and) wishing, (and) praying (praying) To keep my faith in you (my faith in you), in you Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun (just begun) Ooh (oh woah), though we're here Someday we will be gone (oh yeah, woo-hoo) So I'm hoping, wishing, praying To keep my faith in you (my faith in you), in you (ooh) Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone (I keep hoping) So I'm hoping, (wishing), wishing, praying To keep 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
