L-BURNA AKA LAYZIE BONE - Vote For Me lyrics

rate me

It's ya boy L-Burna, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony baby

You know what it is

Duece-double-oh-six baby, the struggle don't stop

Ten toes to the ground, where my soldiers at?

Every day I wake I pray, prayin I can find my way

Every day get harder man, but I promise not to lose my faith

Every day the sun gon' shine, let the Heavens beam on me

Peoples need a helpin hand, c'mon you can lean on me

It keep gettin harder and harder, beggin and borrowin

Thanks to the generals, lieutenants and sargeants

Givin us guidance, keepin us marchin, government tryin to make us targets

Regardless, we strong like them folks down in New Orleans man

Meaner than Katrina, and our dreams'll never fold up man

Better hold up man, 400 years of oppression couldn't break us

But it made us, leaders of the new school, so damn courageous

Flippin them pages rockin them stages, if it wasn't for the music and sports

Could we afford what we afford? Can we pay our way out of court?

Peace to Flesh Bone, my brother gone, better believe that he comin home

He did the crime, yeah he doin his time, but he comin back strong

On you bitches, damn the riches, I'd rather be blessed and gifted

Than to be walkin around lost, with a hellbound sentence

Can I get a witness, can I get a witness? It's a set-up down here

Deep in the ghetto, off in the ghetto, they don't let up down here

But I'm a keep fightin man 'til we get this shit how it 'posed to be

I should be your president, yeah, y'all should vote for me

We livin off in these streets, under the thumb of the beast

If you tryin to ease the squeeze, you gotta pray

We livin off in these streets, under the thumb of the beast

If you tryin to ease the squeeze, you gotta pray, pray, pray

Got a message to Bill Gates, NASA, Oprah; ask us

Do we need help? Take off the mask

Just show us love, hold us, grab us

What y'all waitin on, more distasters?

C'mon, baby we willin to work, help us create these jobs

When we do get paid the ends don't meet, nigga feel like he just been robbed

We've got kids to feed, bills to pay, spendin it on a necklace

Niggaz is wreckless, too young and restless, just flat out selfish

Just can't help it, America the great bred us like that

Niggaz is starvin, stomachs is touchin, y'all ain't fed us like that

We be's, so incomplete, why do they treat us this way?

We run the streets, we totin heat, y'all can't keep us this way

Cause we don't educate our damn self, penetrate your whole system

Take control of our destiny, eliminate y'all victims

Can I get a witness, can I get a witness? It's a set-up down here

Off in the ghetto, deep in the ghetto, they don't let up down here

But I'm a keep fightin man 'til I get this shit how it 'posed to be

I should be y'all president, yeah, y'all should vote for me
