Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came into this world high as bird
From second-hand cocaine powder
I know it sounds absurd
I never tooted but it's in my veins
While the rest of the country
Bungees off bridges
Without no snap back
And bitches they say they need that
To shake they fannies in the ass clubs
[Verse 2]
They go the other route
Turn each other out
Burn each other out
Where a bonafide **** like me
Can't even get no backrub these days
Ain't that bleak on they part
[Verse 3]
But let me hold it down
'Cause they shut you down
When you speak from your heart
Now that's hard
[Verse 4]
While we rantin' and ravin' 'bout gats
**** they made them gats
They got some shit
That'll blow out our backs
From where they stay at
[Verse 5]
Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun
Ooh, though we're here
Someday we will be gone
So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin'
To keep my faith in you (Keep my faith)
In you (In you)
[Verse 6]
I'm fascinated by the way
Your nipples peek out at me
Through your blouse
Freaky me, freaky you
Can't help but be aroused
'Scuse me Lord, lustful thinkin'
But that was the way
We was brought up
[Verse 7]
Sneakin' to watch Playboy at night
We all must be caught up
In worldly ways
Chemistry between boys and girls
Is a lot like when we went to the woods
And laid with the squirrels
During P.E. we'd be
Explorin' each other's privates
Hunchin' with all our clothes on
Until we felt excited then (Ahhh)
[Verse 8]
Oh, now it's on from here on out
Put yo hands in the atmosphere
If you know what I'm talkin' about
Now if two hearts done walk on out
And I see you on the next song
They call it horny because it's devilish
Now see we dead wrong
[Verse 9]
Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun
Ooh, though we're here
Someday we will be gone
So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin'
To keep my faith in you (Keep my faith in you)
In you (In you)
[Verse 10]
People don't know the stress
I'm dealing with day to day
Speakin' about the feelings
I'm possessing for Renee
Mopin' around and wonderin'
Where she stay
Saw her last that she lay
Give it another day I say
But the Lord he taketh way
Now give it back, Lord
'Cause that's like backboards
Without the rims
[Verse 11]
Me and my auntie was tight like southwest
Before the pinks moved in
Like the **** who own the liquor stores
Crack cocaine, pimps and whores
Livin' it up on this earth before
A **** like daddy was born
But they be makin' a scene
That my music and crime are a team
But I'm speakin' the truth not dreams
So what in the fuck they mean
My lyrics ain't clean
[Verse 12]
Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun
Ooh, though we're here
Someday we will be gone
So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin'
To keep my faith in you
In you
[Verse 13]
Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun
Ooh, though we're here
Someday we will be gone
So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin'
To keep my faith in you
In you
[Verse 14]
Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun
Ooh, though we're here
Someday we will be gone
So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin'
To keep my faith in you
[Verse 15]
My faith in you
My faith in you
My faith in you (Keep my faith)
My faith in you
My faith in you
My faith in you
My faith
