BROTHER EL - It's Amazing lyrics

rate me

Wake up, wake up

Wipe the sleep from yo' eyes

I feel stinky .. not because I ain't washed up

Because I'm crowded by immense clouds of bull{shit}

Hmm

[Chorus]

A lot of brothers be screamin out

They draw from a solid foundation

Hollerin out different gang nations

I'm patient, I stand firm

My heart's racin, bullets grazin, it's amazing

[Verse One]

A road, scrolls through the cracks of concrete

Broken glasses under my feet

Respect for nature seems to be obsolete

I feel cheap, peep - peep

My people take but don't give

Some get past the street, some forget about the crib

and where they used to live

They say you'd do it too, if you only knew what I knew

Cause everytime I come around I hear the sound of the full clip

Unload, unload, reload, huh

Explode the stray bullet caught the shorty in the back

That's wack - he never got to finish his second lap

on the schoolyard track, and

never got a chance to compete in the spelling bee

He worked so hard to see

His parents knew about gang violence

but never thought it could be their kids silenced.. silenced..

[Chorus]

It's amazing..

[Verse Two]

Down the block, shorty talk a lot

A swoll head, blowin up the spot

I got this I got that, cops heard about the drug spot

as his lips poppped, and even as he dropped dime

Lyin, on the nation operation

Just to save his own {ass}

from that green grass long break downstate, heh

I'm straight - at least that's what he thought

Caught by those loose words, that travelled back to the hood

And O.G.'s understood, it was time for pay black

On his head back was a Bounty, for the quicker-pick'm-upper

For him and his brother (yeah)

It's a sad song, but crime goes on

In the streets of Chi', brothers die in the dope game

Ain't {shit} changed but the name

The game remains to be the same..

The game remains to be the same.. it's true

[Chorus]
