《Work In Progress(Amended)》歌词

[00:00:00] Work In Progress - Nappy Roots

[00:00:06] Huh

[00:00:11] Y＇all know what it is

[00:00:13] Nap-Nappy Roots Can I start this one off Ok

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

[00:00:22] Like a DJ my negroes scratch ghetto recordings for my peoples

[00:00:24] Got the eyes of an eagle

[00:00:26] Can＇t see us ever being at peace for a reason

[00:00:28] Cause we ain＇t never being equal

[00:00:29] And got us believing we heathens uncivil soldiers of evil

[00:00:33] Reach up and assume the position you know the procedure

[00:00:35] Can＇t even leisure smoke hollow reefer

[00:00:37] With out police and search and seizure by the same police

[00:00:39] Who murdered Ceaser

[00:00:40] It＇s brutal

[00:00:41] Seeing them treat us like lower creatures than human beings

[00:00:44] More so like aliens

[00:00:44] Touring the land of Europeans

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

[00:00:48] Cause of our pigment can＇t take away a nigga＇s dignity though

[00:00:51] Still I pimp the industry hoe

[00:00:53] And even when I＇m rich I＇m a pretend to be poor

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

[00:00:58] But I don＇t stress cause I have been her before you know

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

[00:01:04] (and even though I＇m rich I＇m gonna pretend to be poor)

[00:01:06] My life＇s a work in progress

[00:01:09] (but I don＇t stress cause I have been here before)

[00:01:12] My life＇s a work in progress

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

[00:01:17] My life＇s a work in progress

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

[00:01:22] In life

[00:01:22] Every step you take

[00:01:23] Every right every left you make

[00:01:25] You can look at it like chess in a way

[00:01:28] Cause life is best when you take your time

[00:01:30] Don＇t make a move unless you done made up your mind

[00:01:32] Play by the rules don＇t ever play the fool

[00:01:34] Sometimes you play and lose but you still pay your dues

[00:01:36] Come on

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

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

[00:01:42] I learned that life can be sweet and bitter at the same time

[00:01:45] It＇s the Ying verse the Yang sorta like rain without shine

[00:01:47] Sometimes against the grain you grind gotta grit your teeth and bear it

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

[00:01:53] Cherish the day before you perish away

[00:01:54] Cause who can say how many days your power last

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

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

[00:02:01] Then you＇re gone

[00:02:19] Long life living ( ) will bring you close you dying

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

[00:02:26] Cold unforgiving planet yea it is

[00:02:28] Racists communicating those who wrong did

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

[00:02:33] A stab wound kidnapping ( ) experience

[00:02:36] Though at the time not a glock would blow in da wind

[00:02:38] It＇s a good day in the hood to witness a stabbing

[00:02:40] Now stories told to us without tragedy

[00:02:42] Seem like it involve bloodshed automatically

[00:02:46] If you ever get a chance just stop and use your mind

[00:02:48] Observe the world for yourself and just check your time

[00:02:51] Yeah Oh Yeah that＇s right

[00:02:54] (Scratched: my life＇s a work in progress)

[00:02:55] Smoke something with your country people

[00:02:57] Drank something with your country people

[00:02:59] (Scratched: my life＇s a work in progress)

[00:03:01] Thinking back in Junior high when sex was the shit

[00:03:04] Fein pussy now a day can get you killed quick

[00:03:06] ＇Bout shootin ball in now they ＇bout getting licks

[00:03:09] I＇m playin Nappy Roots just to hear the realest shit

[00:03:11] Expect it to the best of my know how and my rapping wit

[00:03:14] See next to nothing sugar coated in these cold streets

[00:03:17] Whatever you do be smart tote your heat

[00:03:19] Did I mention if you don＇t work you don＇t eat

[00:03:22] If you ever get a chance stop and use your mind

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

[00:03:27] Yea Smoke something with your country people

[00:03:29] Chorus
