Story behind the song
in my opinion after stepping out of the box and looking in, it seems that we as a people always try to find an excuse for our actions and want to place the blame on everyone but ourselves...we especially want to blame the white man for the status of our situation (dont get me wrong , the way the system is set up , life is more difficult for a negro) but we have to take the initiative to better ourselves from within our communities...the problem seems to be that when a brother makes it out of the hardships , everyone else wants to partake in the credit or even discredit his success...with everyone against us, why is it so hard for us to come together to better each other rather than knock a brother down when he is becoming more successful than yourself....this is the definition of being self destructive....
Lyrics
cheers to all them boys , doing they thug thizzle , keeping it kosher when they spit
for the filling in the middle, of tha pie , tha bakery in tha sky of America
When ya immitate are ya fans really hearing ya.
Tears for all them boys , and and all them fallen soldiers, that died over ignorance, acting too militant, they rapped for a reason,but not for a cause, thats sumthin like trying have a baby after menopause.
Beer getting tipped, or whatever ,if its liq(uor),then its better
In the end we all gon end up together, with nothing ,looking around for a finger to point
at something,find a reason , then start acting a heathen.
More than breathing, with a huff and a puff ,chess poked out
last hommie wit his chess poked, laying leaking loc(ed) out
Reason being hes a colored brother with a color
Now his cousin reading a eulogy for his mother
Prepare for retailiation from his brother
domino effect in effect, to kill another
didnt realize the flesh he leaked was his brother
They had the same same father, but had different mothers
same eyes, nose , and lips, but they wearing different colors
other then the clothes, you couldnt tell one from the other
showdown like Billy tha Kid in tha wild west
2 shots it sound like one , now they all layed to rest
over money, he said, she said, now its 3 dead
each reaps what he sows and each layed in they bed
to bad we only learn a vital lesson at death
dont get too much hot air , inflated in your chest
to each is his own, im just trying to build a home
try not to let negative critics get in my dome
you can tell from time to time im mad, its in my tone
knock em off my shoulder, cover they stinch with cologne
with the friends that we hold these days who need enemies
entourage drain your bank, and leach your energy
neither a friend or foe, combined they you frenemy
you could tell if they real when they talk after the Hennesy
NOw I can give a cheer to that, i know you hearing that
Check the way he eying your pocket , after you win in Craps
or celo, eyes get a lil cut , when your green grow
the water from success , making his envious seed grow
Its the diary of a mad black negro .
instead of love get gravity from ya people
or so called,friends fall back when the dough fall
doe get back, they back with a phone call.
dont call they decide to be your downfall
we dont need our gov holding us back,
(we have) our own for that
a negro dont want another negro leaving the trap
cause every time one escape, he never gives back
to the hood that molded him, everybody wanna take credit for helping him out but they only scolded him.
friends and family are hurt, turn jerk,wanna flip on a broham because ain't no controlling him.
almost at his breaking point,pressure of keeping his fam and the law out his pockets is slowly folding him.
to keep his mind off his problems, the weed he keep roling em.
money makes more probs, ain't no avoiding them
when you get thick stacks,cant trust your boys and them.
when you broke and need some money for bills its noise to them
WHAT don't kill a man will only makie him stronger,
new mentality to make his money much longer...
