Gza - Smothered Mate lyrics

rate me

Guns, guns, guns, guns, guns<br />

<br />

His autobiography had came to an end<br />

With the final chapter written in blood upon a skin<br />

From snakes, that was dirty as rodents<br />

Therefore to a starving one, the call for hunger is potent<br />

<br />

Some kids at a young age, their skull is fractured<br />

Their mind store the sickest images ever captured<br />

They draw pistols to resolve issues<br />

To give 'em a sense of closure to expose the brain tissue<br />

<br />

The shells was evidence of a violent event<br />

That left a young dealer bent from a hundred rounds spent<br />

The lifestyle is a thousand miles from a minister<br />

A small con game with something far more sinister<br />

<br />

Peer pressure got him moving faster<br />

A paradise of mutation open the gates of disaster<br />

And murder is not the only cold blooded crime<br />

You got fiends that'll torture the teens to get a dime<br />

<br />

Empty ya pockets nigga and don't move<br />

You react any other way and they'll prove<br />

'Cuz they ain't got a problem with laying ya ass out<br />

Or putting in work so you can see what it's about<br />

<br />

Money got the flow, nigga and don't stop<br />

Whether drugs or a hoe, nigga, stay on top<br />

'Cuz they don't have a problem with running up in ya house<br />

And burning it to the ground after the shit is doused<br />

<br />

I told him to save his breathe<br />

'Cuz he hovered on the brink of death<br />

He wasn't living right before he left<br />

His life took an unexpected turn<br />

For those who walked that path, here's a lesson to learn<br />

<br />

Coming from a nesting ground of those on the growl<br />

In a state of darkness, menacing on the prowl<br />

Local rivals and known competitors<br />

Who try to stay clear from the spying eyes of predators<br />

<br />

On the hunt, they constantly taught persistence<br />

Those with less heart keep a respectful distance<br />

The prey know it's too hot to lay in the street<br />

They find shaded areas a few feet from the heat<br />

<br />

'Cuz if not, then, it will be costing one<br />

Who will soon evaporate under a scorching sun<br />

'Cuz when the drought is on, it's little left<br />

Then what lies ahead, dehydration and eventual death<br />

<br />

Empty ya pockets nigga and don't move<br />

You react any other way and they'll prove<br />

'Cuz they ain't got a problem with laying ya ass out<br />

Or putting in work so you can see what it's about<br />

<br />

Money got the flow nigga and don't stop<br />

Whether drugs or a hoe, nigga, stay on top<br />

'Cuz they don't have a problem with running up in ya house<br />

And burning it to the ground after the shit is doused<br />

<br />

We doing music from the heart<br />

And not from the charts
