F/ poppa wu tekitha

[poppa wu]
I'm a manchild born in the promised land
Captain of my destiny guidin my faith through the turbulence of life
See in order to be who you are you've got to know who you are
In order to get to where you want to go
You've got to know from where you came
Say it was malcolm x who said
"a man who doesn't have nothin to stand up for
Will fall for any god damn thing!"

[shyheim]
I walk with a gat...

Damn my face drop tears it's like nobody cares
I swear life ain't fair sometimes i wanna disappear
Only blahzay blah' got mad gray hairs i'm a young old man
What part of xxxx iz real don't you understand?
Twin got murdered caught one to the temple *gunshot*
You ain't been what i been through can it be all so simple?
I got bad nerves it's absurb i'm disturbed
So i suggest you watch the words that you blurb
Out your mouth or it'll be a shoot out
I leave you stretched out i'm thugged inside and out
And it ain't by choice
I'm screamin out loud for love (ahhhh!) do anybody hear my voice?
Pardon the noise i'm just a black ghetto boy
Went through the rain and pain where's the sunshine and joy?
I can't seem to find it trapped in the black cloud
Watchin my life go down to hide the suffer when i smile

[chorus: tekitha]
Running these streets can be so... trying these trying times...
Manchild in the promised land who of you will understand?
Running these streets can be so... trying these trying times...
Manchild in the promised land hey-ay...

[shyheim]
My aunt died from aids i watched here deteriate
She told me xxxxxx wit drugs was her biggest mistake
Put my moms on to it stickin needles in her veins
Bein sons of addicts yo me and cane the same
We packed bags at bathmart we both humped tamika
We used to go to the pool just to steal kid's sneakers
Rocked cut-off beepers wore old clothes for easter
Shit was so real we had to split a slice of pizza
I was born at six months damn premature
My moms birthed a thug like afeni shakur
I'm surprised i ain't crazy from the bug xxxx i saw
I caught my mother buyin crack on the first floor
I never thought i'd be in a cell smokin the newport
With all sorts of thoughts runnin through my mind
Know i ain't leavin caught d.a. took it jail time
I glanced at my mom's eyes she lookin like she wanna cry

[chorus 2x]

[shyheim]
They say i'm an accident waitin to happen g
Miss sand from the first floor said she gon' pray for me
She had a bad dream that they murdered me
I said "miss truthfully i don't believe in dreams"
Hope is miles away from where i stay
Who knows the way? pssshhh... should i pay
For the directions? my whole family's in correction
Fake friends half-steppin i'm stressin and some question
Can i trust you? uh-huh then i love you
Yea if not straight up and down xxxx you
Bottomline real people do real things
Play your position... (running these streets can be so...)

[chorus to fade]

[poppa wu in background of chorus]
You see it's like this
You've got to plan your work and work your plan
Cuz seein who fails the plan plans the fail
Execute your strategy and seize your goal
Cuz see persistance overcomes resistance
Peace
