PHANATIK - 95 Degree Angles lyrics
rate me“Hey what ya’ll doing outside, don’t ya’ll got homework to do?”
“WE NEED HELP!”
“What ya’ll need help with?”
“Uncle Brady can you help us with our math homework please, huh, pleasssse,”
“Alright, go get your math book and meet me out here on the porch”
“I’m going to tell ya’ll a story alright…”
1995 the number, another summer evening its hot 95 degrees
No breeze for this young teen was 9 years old when he watched his pop leave
Which leaves no role model around to guide his steps
He couldn’t get it right cause only the block was left
5 years of fatherless living amounts to shoplifting getting the 5-finger discount
At the local 5-10 lifting little odds and ends
Never thought he’d have to see the inside of the pen until the 5th time he got pinched
Woke up from his dream the nightmare begins
10 yrs minus 1 forced crime that 9 with good behavior neighbor he did the time
It’s 2004 when they let him out the prison housing doors
But now its just him and his 4 boys
Met them on the inside, in for doing nickel and dime scams
Sell nix and dimes to the man
Now these 5 cats swore they had 9 lives and couldn’t spend the 8 grindin’ a 9 to 5
Getting 9 bucks a hour 8 hrs each day, there’s gotta be easier way to see the pay,
So lets take some time and figure out a plan for us to hook up and help our self out
9 months pass no that’s a lot of blunts and hash for these 5 young G’s to pass,
Till one Sunday 9 o’clock moms in his room, said “Your going to church with me boy and Sunday school”
He’s thinking its worth a try sneaks jeans and a shirt and tie
On his wrist something crisp if you see it it hurt you eyes
Arrived at the church while the preachers preachin’ excerpts of Martin Luther’s 95-thesis
And about Jesus who came to save souls, feed 5 thousand heads with fish and 5 loaves,
Had his back whipped with a cat-a-nine tails, then nailed to the cross by 9-inch-nails
But naw, he couldn’t accept the blessing, distracted by his cell his checking his text message
“What up fam we got plan for this cash, 5th national bank corner of 9th Ave”
In and out in 5 mins without the slightest blunder, the plan is air tight, I call it the 9th wonder
He left church and caught a ride with his man, hoped into the stolen 95 sedan,
He put him down with the 5-point plan, listening to Royster 5’9, on 95 FM,
Rockin to the jams getting high as kite, loading up the heat encase the guard try and fight
Couldn’t even see who got behind’em at the light,
till they saw the red and blues from police cruiser lights
time to take flight, the only way out, hell before jail he heard the driver yelling out,
now he’s trying to remember the words from the sermon,
Can’t concentrate cause the car steady swerving,
Was it 9 verse 5 or chapter 5 verse 9,
He’d listen and live different if he could rewind the time,
Its like the buttons stuck in fast forward, bullets bucking back and forth the car is soaring
95 mph on I-95, licking shots at the cops behind them, one died,
The whole city is watching this mid-day cruise, live on channel 9 on the 5 o’clock news
And when it ended it was not pretty, 5-0 pulled a nine and put 5 in his 59-50
Now there’s I just had to tell, perhaps you dwell on that 95th parallel,
And your running right beside that guy living life on that line bout to die on it
But if you can decide to side with Jesus Christ, no denying, raise your hands and put 5 on it
