ANCIENT COINS - The Snitch lyrics

rate me

[Intro: Armel]

It's all good, you need it now, watch yourself son

You know the ave. is snitching, God, be careful

[Armel]

I was playing on the corner, with some real dough blockers

Cuz someone was try'nna eat, using Crime Stoppers

Millions of people a year, with no fear

Switch, on some gangsta: now snitch

Now I can understand, if you're old and gray

You feedin' pigeons, you tend to make gullible decisions

Thugs these days, can't face themselves

The young would rather be free, drop dime and tell

The old, too much to lose, and choose to ride it out

Start to analyze the margin, cop a plea bargin

What's a good time to snitch, if your seeds involved

That's a deep question, that I'm asking y'all

Or, you was there and had nothing to do with it

You had no idea that duke was gonna get it

It all happened so fast, couldn't think twice

Murder, Nobel, facing life

[Chorus x2: Holy Smokes]

Time to load the gats, mind intuition

Numbers got them snitching, frail as hell

Pacing in they cells, they revoke then bail

Mind intutition, numbers got them snitching

[Armel]

Never been to jail, a week, seven years

Sixteen, charge him as an adult, your worst fear

Try to call your man, they don't pick up the phone

Call baby Mills, she on some "Leave me alone"

Call your Old Earth, she said "I'll pray for you"

Ma, I need things, there's nothing I can do

The lawyer called, listen, they said you facing the chair

Look we need to know names and exactly where

Surrounded by street laywers, considered your peers

They know everything about your case, but nothing about theirs

You tried to fake and read the rights that was given to you twice

By an older God who was doing Wisdom, God to Life

To fight the case up in here, no clothes, no nothing

People holding you down, soon they think you stunting

Gats wanna click that, grimey mental

A decision that used to be far from simple

[Chorus x2]

[Hook: Armel]

Gangstas don't snitch, gangstas be snitching

Gangstas don't snitch, nigga, I got pull

Gangstas be snitching, gangstas don't snitch

Gangstas be snitching, ask Sammy the Bull

[Armel]

America's Most Wanted, informants, your neighbor?

Don't hustle on blocks with neighborhood watch

The jewels that was given, he ain't listen to a thing

So the choices that he made, gonna cost his scheme

Your imformant made a deal, but cops reaching your squad

You sent the wire, to kill him before he reach the yard

Snitches used to get stitches, bats often

Now, they need to see coffins more often

[Chorus x2]

[Hook]

[Outro: Armel]

I know, I wasn't suppose to blow your spot up and shit

But it's real, man, it's real like that, man

And watch the companies you seek, man, knahimean

Your best friend, can be your enemy, man, youknowhatimsayin?

You got your crew snitching, you got mixtape snitching

You got your lady snithing, your girl snitching

Your mom snitching, God, oh my God, I'm out of here, man

Yo, D, man, stay away from them snitches, we out
