Poor Mans Woes
(feat. Emperor of the Sun) [PSC:] If you like what we do then give thanks that the thought banks deposits are plenty And many to offer the author of this one, gives one to ponder upon Our arrival, the smiles, they come forth Of course you might know this, woes my status Barred from the major stations, but fuck 'em Hip-hop's my language Maybe we stuck 'em with doses of the trueness too strong to stomach I love it! You can't shut this shit down Revenge, read the label, we rule in this town Shit, burn in the fire which you create Just like Co-Flow, you can't break the 'Sole' of these Mystiks Put it down every time Living Legends gotta rise from the grime Put it down with Shui and K-one We havin' so much fun out here we can't even hold a beer Gimme a beer man.... [BFAP:] I hate eatin' nasty shit when I'm broke (eeayuck!) I just sorta smoke til I got a headache I used to make a tuna fish plate on a bed of Dorito's And my toes would be on funk mode SongtexteI'd be on the commode letting out the constipation of my life go I guess that's when I decided to be self reliant Emsoyas or dictators might call it defiant Cuz I wasn't talkin' about workin' for nobody no more I used to go into the store ashy, and put on some lotion And then be postin' on isle 3, and go and put on some 'D' In the underground I make my living Giving all that I got cuz you got only one shot to do this You can't be pissed, sitting high on your couch Like almost everyone I know out Couch revolutionists, with no ammo to go into battle Living Legends grabbed the saddle and rode these dreams to breeze With the kings of destiny But that be on some high tangent shit I just get mad when the jealousy hits the realms of my friends That's why I stay down to earth In with my school, better yet, my shovel doin' work Maybe one day everybody will understand what they must do Until then, stay with your mind I'm only gonna let you know cuz I dropped out of school To do six world tours, trying to make it to the core and side B Revenge, our own black owned company International sales over foreign seas Is where me and Tommy be in '97 See how they tried to tape us down But they never keep out ass down now Now, ah, keep your roots to the ground Now, ah, don't be a fuckin' hound That's the way we gonna go now....
