Work In Progress - Nappy Roots[00:00:00]

Huh[00:00:06]

Y＇all know what it is[00:00:11]

Nap-Nappy Roots Can I start this one off Ok[00:00:13]

Each day I listen what the streets say[00:00:20]

Like a DJ my negroes scratch ghetto recordings for my peoples[00:00:22]

Got the eyes of an eagle [00:00:24]

Can＇t see us ever being at peace for a reason[00:00:26]

Cause we ain＇t never being equal[00:00:28]

And got us believing we heathens uncivil soldiers of evil[00:00:29]

Reach up and assume the position you know the procedure[00:00:33]

Can＇t even leisure smoke hollow reefer[00:00:35]

With out police and search and seizure by the same police[00:00:37]

Who murdered Ceaser[00:00:39]

It＇s brutal[00:00:40]

Seeing them treat us like lower creatures than human beings[00:00:41]

More so like aliens[00:00:44]

Touring the land of Europeans[00:00:44]

Seeming to have the tendency to think we ignorant[00:00:46]

Cause of our pigment can＇t take away a nigga＇s dignity though[00:00:48]

Still I pimp the industry hoe[00:00:51]

And even when I＇m rich I＇m a pretend to be poor[00:00:53]

My life＇s a work in progress soon to be end of the road[00:00:56]

But I don＇t stress cause I have been her before you know[00:00:58]

My life＇s a work in progress[00:01:01]

(and even though I＇m rich I＇m gonna pretend to be poor)[00:01:04]

My life＇s a work in progress[00:01:06]

(but I don＇t stress cause I have been here before)[00:01:09]

My life＇s a work in progress[00:01:12]

(and even though I＇m rich I＇m gonna pretend to be poor)[00:01:14]

My life＇s a work in progress[00:01:17]

(but I don＇t stress cause I have been here before)[00:01:19]

In life[00:01:22]

Every step you take[00:01:22]

Every right every left you make[00:01:23]

You can look at it like chess in a way[00:01:25]

Cause life is best when you take your time[00:01:28]

Don＇t make a move unless you done made up your mind[00:01:30]

Play by the rules don＇t ever play the fool[00:01:32]

Sometimes you play and lose but you still pay your dues[00:01:34]

Come on[00:01:36]

Everybody knows the cost to be the boss[00:01:37]

Yea the price is kind of steep but sacrifice is never cheap[00:01:39]

I learned that life can be sweet and bitter at the same time[00:01:42]

It＇s the Ying verse the Yang sorta like rain without shine[00:01:45]

Sometimes against the grain you grind gotta grit your teeth and bear it[00:01:47]

Matthew 5 verse 5 ＂The earth the meek shall inherit＂[00:01:50]

Cherish the day before you perish away[00:01:53]

Cause who can say how many days your power last [00:01:54]

It＇s like a crack in your hourglass[00:01:57]

In a flash the hours pass[00:01:59]

Then you＇re gone[00:02:01]

Long life living ( ) will bring you close you dying[00:02:19]

The more laughs one had will bring you close to crying[00:02:23]

Cold unforgiving planet yea it is[00:02:26]

Racists communicating those who wrong did[00:02:28]

I daydream back to the 80＇s when we was all kids[00:02:30]

A stab wound kidnapping ( ) experience[00:02:33]

Though at the time not a glock would blow in da wind[00:02:36]

It＇s a good day in the hood to witness a stabbing[00:02:38]

Now stories told to us without tragedy[00:02:40]

Seem like it involve bloodshed automatically[00:02:42]

If you ever get a chance just stop and use your mind[00:02:46]

Observe the world for yourself and just check your time[00:02:48]

Yeah Oh Yeah that＇s right[00:02:51]

(Scratched: my life＇s a work in progress)[00:02:54]

Smoke something with your country people[00:02:55]

Drank something with your country people[00:02:57]

(Scratched: my life＇s a work in progress)[00:02:59]

Thinking back in Junior high when sex was the shit[00:03:01]

Fein pussy now a day can get you killed quick[00:03:04]

＇Bout shootin ball in now they ＇bout getting licks[00:03:06]

I＇m playin Nappy Roots just to hear the realest shit[00:03:09]

Expect it to the best of my know how and my rapping wit[00:03:11]

See next to nothing sugar coated in these cold streets[00:03:14]

Whatever you do be smart tote your heat[00:03:17]

Did I mention if you don＇t work you don＇t eat[00:03:19]

If you ever get a chance stop and use your mind[00:03:22]

Observe the world for yourself and check the time[00:03:24]

Yea Smoke something with your country people[00:03:27]

Chorus[00:03:29]
