Work In Progress (Explicit) - Nappy Roots[00:00:00]

Wise words bein' spoke huh y'all know what it is[00:00:02]

Nap nappy roots can I start this one off okay[00:00:14]

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

Like a DJ my negroes scratch ghetto recording's[00:00:22]

For my peoples got the eyes of an eagle[00:00:24]

Can't see us ever bein' at peace for a reason 'cause we ain't[00:00:26]

Never bein' equal they got us believin' we heathens uncivil soldiers[00:00:29]

Of evil reach up and assume the position[00:00:32]

You know the procedure[00:00:34]

Can't even leisure smoke hollow reefer without police[00:00:35]

And search and seizure by the same police who murdered creaser[00:00:38]

It's brutal[00:00:40]

Seein' them treat us like lower creatures than human beings more[00:00:41]

So like aliens tourin' the land of Europeans[00:00:44]

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

'Cause of our pigment can't take away[00:00:48]

A niggas dignity though still I pimp the industry hoe and even when[00:00:50]

I'm rich I'm a pretend to be poor[00:00:54]

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

End of the road but I don't stress cause I have been her before[00:00:58]

You know[00:01:00]

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[00:01:11]

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

My life's a work in progress[00:01:16]

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

In life every step you take every right every left you make[00:01:22]

You can look at it like chess in a way 'cause life is best when[00:01:25]

You take your time don't make a move unless you done made up[00:01:28]

Your mind 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[00:01:37]

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

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

I learned that life can be sweet[00:01:42]

And bitter at the same time it's the ying verse the yang[00:01:43]

Sorta like rain without shine[00:01:46]

Sometimes against the grain you grind[00:01:47]

Gotta grit your teeth and bear it[00:01:48]

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

Cherish the day before you perish away 'cause who can say[00:01:52]

How many days your power last[00:01:55]

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

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

Then you're gone gone gone[00:02:01]

My life's a work in progress[00:02:03]

And even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor[00:02:05]

My life's a work in progress[00:02:08]

But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before[00:02:11]

My life's a work in progress[00:02:13]

And even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor[00:02:15]

My life's a work in progress[00:02:18]

Like there long life livin' get will bring you close you dyin'[00:02:20]

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

Cold unforgiving planet yea it is racists and communicatin'[00:02:25]

Those who wrong did[00:02:29]

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

A stab wound kidnappin' but experience though at the time[00:02:33]

Not a glock would blow in da wind it's a good day in the hood[00:02:36]

To witness a stabbin' now stories told to us[00:02:39]

Without tragedy seem like[00:02:42]

It involve bloodshed automatically[00:02:44]

If you ever get a chance[00:02:46]

Just stop and use your mind observe the world for yourself and ju[00:02:47]

Your time[00:02:50]

Yeah oh yeah that's right[00:02:51]

Smoke somethin' with your country people[00:02:54]

Drank somethin' with your country people[00:02:57]

My life's a work in progress[00:02:59]

Thinkin' 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[00:03:21]

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

Yea smoke somethin' with your country people[00:03:27]

My life's a work in progress[00:03:30]

And even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor[00:03:32]

My life's a work in progress[00:03:35]

But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before[00:03:37]

My life's a work in progress[00:03:40]

And even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor[00:03:42]

My life's a work in progress[00:03:45]

But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before[00:03:48]

But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before[00:03:53]
