Song by Rappin' 4-Tay<br /><br>

Ain't nobody gettin no younger man we're just gettin older and <br>

We need to get bolder than bold as we've ever been <br>

Our reference as Africans where our folks sittin <br>

they cryin out laughin <br>

The game is all you know so you in it to win it right? <br>

Trippin a gang o' bullets decided to find a fight <br>

Life is scattered in directions brotherly connections <br>

Misguided youth driftin in the wrong direction <br>

I hope for the best and say a prayer and keep steppin <br>

Too many kids they own an automatic weapon <br>

A lot of them wanna go home instead of hangin out <br>

It's kinda hard when you're parents' straight smoked out <br>

For you fisters, stay prepared for the up and coming <br>

Get all you can while you can and result to something <br>

You be surprised with this talent that we hold <br>

But we forget and go sick outta control <br>

A lotta homies to die, they left a true lesson <br>

Or fill your soul that I love, this another blessing <br>

You want funk, it used to be bing-bing <br>

To the dome, but nah now it's really on <br>

Go out back, what? To just to be reputable? <br>

Hope you don't lose your life, fools are goin federal <br>

I'm goin forward, showin em up like a pimp <br>

And gettin the truck, you can sell each other profit <br>

Don't let police try to grab you by your shirt collar <br>

You witta black man, who understands black power <br>

Pipin hot, are you the bad brother? <br>

I love to roll rhymes, see my homeboys stickin together <br>

Stay focused cos there's too many blind <br>

Blind to the purpose of life and that's a message for your mind <br>

<br>

Chorus: <br>

<br>

Tried the dope about a thousand times <br>

So here's a message for your mind <br>

*Repeat x 4* <br>

<br>

I once knew a man who couldn't read <br>

He said "It ain't no thang cause <br>

I graduated twice with the game I possess" <br>

Bullet-proof vest to the chest <br>

But when his kids needed help to prepare for a test <br>

It was stress cos Pops ain't acheiving in academics <br>

It's true indeed, his problem is an epidemic <br>

Who wanna work five long hard days through it? <br>

And get tax, I guess somebody gotta do it <br>

So take coke, rock it up brick-solid <br>

Ain't nobody thinkin about a checks up ??? wallet <br>

Kids are growin up with the train of thought <br>

The motion the parents talk, the trip on the *?dopest bar?* <br>

Now look at the man you fuck, he was as black as you <br>

Sweated ya money, it wasn't funny so you did what'cha had to do <br>

How many brothers will be taken out by another brother? <br>

Give a talk show a whole lot to talk about <br>

It's me and my microphone, it's you and your 9 <br>

And that's fine, well here's a message for your mind <br>

<br>

Chorus <br>

<br>

The next verse is out for the chicks <br>

Ho's are to be chosen, nightclub or taking flicks? <br>

The homey might be roughy with a tandy-out Mercedes <br>

Called a girl a 'female dog', well she's a lady <br>

Run into the wrong one, a strong one, a smart man coast her <br>

She pushed you to the left and turned her off when you approached her <br>

You tripped and dissed her, you bashed the sister <br>

And even when you drove off, you couldn't resist her <br>

Solution:Better go, homey, leave her P <br>

Cos you know like I know there's plenty fish in the sea <br>

There's more women in this world than men, for fact, I'm right <br>

Just because she's superfine that doesn't mean that's your type <br>

Briefcase, white shirt, tie and a sportscoat <br>

A hella gold, ???, servin ya friend's dough <br>

Friends are friends then or friends come good friends <br>

A helpin hand in understandin, wants to invite you in <br>

Man's your best friend, boyfriend and girlfriend <br>

It's like a soap opera in this world that we're living in <br>

Misconception from a blink or a wink <br>

He want to get married and all she want is a drink <br>

But it really don't help when you supposed to be faithful <br>

He bought you a boat load and paid for ya cases <br>

Kept it comin, the brother went wrong for expecting some <br>

Got knocked out by ya spouse, now ya started some <br>

It seems strange but these fools are taking people out <br>

For the woman that they love and truly care about <br>

It's understandable, but will hurts when she's givin in <br>

Now was it reaaly worth a life sentence in the pen? <br>

No get-back, nothin but a jail song <br>

A homey told ya that you're woman had it goin on <br>

Now ya stuck and she's on the prowl gettin wined and dined <br>

Damn, now that's a message for your mind <br>

<br>

Chorus <br>

<br>

Outro <br>

<br>

His pocket's fat and his dove is too. He huh<br>

<br>
