I Refuse Limitation - Goodie Mob[00:00:01]
One time[00:00:05]
Uh for these freaky hoes I lust[00:00:11]
But I'm still flickin' ashes[00:00:13]
A lot of other motherf**kers snort dust[00:00:15]
But that's they thang a lot of us fall victim somehow[00:00:18]
But that's that game won't try to explain[00:00:21]
From books to bricks[00:00:23]
Now I look[00:00:25]
Seen crooks and tricks caught up in the mix[00:00:26]
Of everyday in every way but the right[00:00:29]
I control the substance my people fiend for at night[00:00:32]
Lord knows I do wrong[00:00:35]
Sound like the same old song[00:00:37]
A lot of niggas singing homeboys conceal your weapons[00:00:39]
'Cause ain't gonna be no smokin' section in heaven[00:00:43]
No more be buckin' yo luck seven eleven on the first roll[00:00:46]
Don't let the streets rock and roll yo soul[00:00:49]
Swats GA by way of cascade heights[00:00:52]
Gunshots roadblocks sidewalks and ice[00:00:56]
Sold me out for 3 5 grams of neighborhood clout[00:00:59]
Now what the f**ks we bout[00:01:02]
I'm back home from the bullshit[00:01:03]
Puttin' in work[00:01:05]
Meanwhile others dug ditches and covered[00:01:06]
Themselves in dirt one squirt[00:01:08]
And you locked down forever[00:01:11]
Can't run from reality luring you closer and closer away[00:01:12]
To the same old traps[00:01:16]
Now you never learn from your mistakes[00:01:18]
So now you wear this ass whoopin' wit' pride[00:01:20]
What side you on[00:01:23]
It wasn't no I in team[00:01:24]
Only in your dreams saturated with schemes[00:01:26]
Yeah you right[00:01:28]
God gonna deal wit' ya fallin' from his grace[00:01:29]
Rookie moves cops shift the game and 30 days[00:01:32]
I'm blessed in the hole[00:01:36]
But that's till I go to the state federal[00:01:38]
Penitentiary[00:01:41]
Yeah I could a did my time standin' on one feet[00:01:42]
But see I f**ked up royally thought I was slick[00:01:45]
Them herpes-havin' ass crackers[00:01:48]
Changed my big check to six[00:01:49]
Times wit' Dean Whitaker's sermon of the day[00:01:51]
But when I go to sleep[00:01:54]
I don't dream no more I just lay[00:01:56]
A wise man knows his limitations concrete[00:01:59]
Concrete like Greg Street[00:02:06]
Sufferin' from a severe case of inner city blues[00:02:08]
I ain't got no clues to which directions[00:02:11]
I need to choose[00:02:13]
This opportunity to gain is all I got to lose[00:02:14]
'Cause I just can't settle for these streets shawty[00:02:17]
I refuse[00:02:19]
That's the shit I like Lord got the door[00:02:21]
Shot down to the pavement[00:02:23]
Remove yo hat under the ceiling of this building[00:02:24]
A rebuff from the usher of sorts because[00:02:27]
Most strive for the diamonds and overlook the gems[00:02:29]
Got skimp wit yo bags boulders[00:02:34]
Become shoulders to depend on[00:02:36]
Which way to explore reform[00:02:38]
Refrain we can't inflame[00:02:40]
Every thought you walk through the trails is hell[00:02:42]
Airborne for what clone me replace me wit' me[00:02:45]
Another nation inside a nation out the land of Scots[00:02:47]
Suction cups to test tube layer of skin[00:02:51]
Supply the crust and we'll mix the fruit[00:02:53]
Gun shows supplied me in the hour of need[00:02:55]
Watch 'em bleed Aryan nation be the dealer[00:02:58]
Now who's the killer[00:03:01]
Yeah yeah yup yup that's the shit I like[00:03:03]
That's the shit I like[00:03:07]
Uh puttin' forth the effort to make a change[00:03:08]
Not doin' a lot of talkin' bout it what's yo game[00:03:11]
You slippin' you can't never do that[00:03:14]
That's when you get jacked for[00:03:17]
Yo life over emotions runnin' wild[00:03:19]
Like salamanders swimmin' in southwest creeks[00:03:21]
Feelin' incomplete another story livin'[00:03:24]
You had it[00:03:26]
Now you lost it wasn't worth it look what it costed[00:03:29]
Yo life young nigga[00:03:32]
Didn't go out without a fight behind the gun trigger[00:03:33]
You better think fast or get swept off yo feet[00:03:36]
Nigga it hurts to see these drugs deteriorate[00:03:39]
The minds of knuckleheads[00:03:43]
That want to be base heads[00:03:44]
Don't say I didn't tell you[00:03:45]
'Cause you gonna see in the future[00:03:47]
I hope I don't have to shoot you if you switch[00:03:49]
Went from hardcore to beggin' like a bitch[00:03:52]
Revolutions good to bad hoods to rags[00:03:54]
Real niggas to fags[00:03:56]
What's the news But I refuse to lose[00:03:57]
Sufferin' from a severe case of inner city blues[00:04:00]
I ain't got no clues to which directions[00:04:03]
I need to choose[00:04:05]
This opportunity to gain is all I got to lose[00:04:06]
Now I just can't settle for these streets shawty[00:04:09]
I refuse[00:04:11]
Well I woke up this mornin' with the same frustration[00:04:12]
From situations like these got a call[00:04:14]
About some work[00:04:16]
From one of them temporary agencies[00:04:17]
No high school diploma or any college degrees[00:04:18]
I can't enlist but they'll draft me[00:04:21]
If there's a war overseas[00:04:23]
Oh please of course I can slice some Oz's[00:04:24]
But see I'm one of those aspirin MC's[00:04:27]
And uh bills are due so at times[00:04:30]
I'm doubtful and everyone disagrees[00:04:32]
But I'd rather struggle on my feet[00:04:33]
Than to live on my knees[00:04:35]
So my uniform tight workin' all night at Mickey D's[00:04:36]
Got about 90 dollars[00:04:39]
And some change after the government[00:04:40]
Get they fees[00:04:41]
These minimum wages ain't enough to feed my babies[00:04:41]
Purposely these limitations on black folks' opportunities[00:04:44]
So I quit 'cause[00:04:47]
I'm tired of being one of those overworked[00:04:48]
Underpaid employees stop carin' at all went on[00:04:50]
And did a few small burglaries[00:04:52]
It seems like my faith done turned into forgotten memories[00:04:53]
And I ain't gettin' away with nothing[00:04:56]
Because I know He always sees[00:04:58]
But see right now I need to see[00:04:59]
How I can get this here dope sold[00:05:01]
I done stuffed in my pocket[00:05:03]
As many rocks as it can hold[00:05:04]
They gonna get high[00:05:05]
So I'm a get my money even though it's freezin' cold[00:05:06]
Now how many times you done heard this story told[00:05:08]
Believe it or not[00:05:11]
It's some very intelligent junkies[00:05:12]
But dependencies is eatin' away at they souls like disease[00:05:13]
Anyone can turn into somebody[00:05:17]
Who covets and envies[00:05:18]
Unequal economics can easily make you some enemies[00:05:20]
And the crime rate never drops[00:05:22]
So the cops ride around in threes[00:05:24]
I knew he would have killed me[00:05:26]
If I did anything but freeze[00:05:28]
They found the rest of the dope in some nearby shrubberies[00:05:29]
In a dim lit room being questioned by these authorities[00:05:31]
And they gave me some time in correctional facilities[00:05:34]
And now my woman's gotta take on a man's responsibilities[00:05:37]
