Spice 1 - Nature To Ride lyrics

rate me

As I wake up in the morning wipe the sleep from my eyes

I realize I'm alive, another day I survived

To see the sun rise again, lord guide me in

The right direction, give my daughters to your protection

Keep correctional facilities away from the homies

We can't be locked up, use to goto funerals glocked up

A thug sheds slugs instead of tears when he cries

Throw some chronic in his casket to say his goodbye's

Drive-by's on the block all my niggas is gone

The only people making money is the funeral home

See, diein' ain't no kind of way to make a livin'

And the people at that old graveyard making a killin'

While a thug sheds slugs instead of tears when he cries

Don't be too quick to judge, it's in his nature to ride

Nigga when thugs cry tears of bullets flood the block

Hit the enemy with a flurry of sh-shots, BLAOW!

They don't know, this is thug, nature to ride

This is what it sounds like, when thugs cry

It was me, my big sister, my mama and cold flows

In the projects of Fillmoe, pimps and hoes

Even though a nigga parents split up when I was one

Lord bless my daddy for steppin' up and raisin' his son

Handing jewels to an innocent child, sharing pain

I was young but now I'm old enough to embrace the game

I love my mama cause she kept me from goin' hungry and starvin

Taking care of me, but I wouldn't listen I kept mobbin

In the streets, lost in the belly of the best

Like demons on our corner ridin' strapped with heat

In this cold place, leave you sleepin' with no trace

I got homies that been hit by a killer with no face

A thug sheds slugs instead of tears when he cries

See struggle in the reflection of hate in his eyes

I know my thug angels watchin' me wherever I go

I know Pac see's me ridin, and my daddy fa sho', BLAOW

How long will you mourn a nigga that's in the grave rotten

Wanna say to all my soldiers that's fallen, ain't forgotten

Ridin past the cemetary all I do is remember

When we hustled in the winter it was cold in december

But we kept grindin' rain or snow, steady smashin'

Til the cops came and you swallowed some dope without the plastic

We was babies didn't know reprecussions of our decisions

But we learnt from eachother, even though you no longer livin'

My heart felt cold, my legs got weak

When I was watchin' that ambulance from across the street

Police and task-force, feds all on the scene

And I knew it was over when I heard your mama scream

All I could do was run home and tell my mama I love her

Say a prayer to God and tell him bless my young brother

Cause a thug sheds slugs instead of tears when we cry

Throw some chronic in his casket to say my goodbyes, BLAOW!
