2000 and beyond
2000 and beyond
Tricks and hoes, bitches and stripper poles
shake it for dollar signs, let me see from behind
the ghetto's a fairytale, pimps and jazzlebells
dealers with chrome rims with products for you to sell
chemistry in the kitchen, alleys with rubber in it
tires go round and round, windows heavy tinted
cush is in the inside, pull me over
now they talkin bout a k9. black man face dine
charge it to game, bums warm their weary souls over open flames
junkie caint find god watch him find his vein
preacher walk by like he aint seen a thang
pass the collection plate
niggas thought thangs was gonna change on election day
healthcare H1N1 they was sprayed
got me scared to hit the block
wear my flag as a mask tote a glock, in 2000 and beyond
in 2000 and beyond
in 2000 and beyond
post on, scrape dollars and the last of their income tax
on impalas whips, ???, church gives awards to the best dress
have to drive a bentley, got me thinkin, i was the less blessed
cause i let a middleman, he was cappin wit em askin
i dont understand, how you fit that many rings on a helping hand
tired of deception, but i pay his tuition cause im tryna get to heaven
aint it crazy, scared to have a baby
how can i protect it from the same streets that made me
concrete gladiator blood shed overflowin
in real life some places russlle crow will never go
pimp tyte flossin, look at what it cost me
peace of mind no sleep late night tossin and turnin
waitin on the end, pray to god forgive me for my sins, in 2000 and beyond
in 2000 and beyond
in 2000 and beyond
as a child i was cold with a chip on my shoulder
grandma told me becareful cause ther're sharks in the water
they will kill you, let the good lord steal you
dont worry bout the government
cause baby they dont feel you
martin luther king had dream, we was right there
i wonder what he saw when up and had nightmares
quite scared, all the work he had done
couldnt stop what we've become, in 2000 and beyond
