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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:34] You know the procedure

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

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

[00:00:40] It's brutal

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:00] 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

[00:01:11] My life's a work in progress

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

[00:01:16] 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 every step you take every right every left you make

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

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

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

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

[00:01:37] Come on

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:55] 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 gone gone

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:29] 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 kidnappin' but experience though at the time

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

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

[00:02:42] Without tragedy seem like

[00:02:44] It involve bloodshed automatically

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

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

[00:02:50] Your time

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

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

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

[00:03:01] Thinkin' 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

[00:03:21] If you ever get a chance stop and use your mind
