2Ru3 - Dey Neva Knew lyrics
[Intro] Hey....(laugh) (Laughing)....Hey........ Southside.....Hey.... [Chorus x 2] They never figured that I ever would shine They never figured I could make it in life They never figured I'd be dope with the rhymes And sober mind and representing for the southside [Verse] Reaching the ma**es through lyrical blasting from my genuine spirit Trying to impart some hope in the souls of those who feeling lonely and afflicted Though I'm trying to get bigger figgaz, my missions deeper than bread Spewing verbal Uzis of truth ripping all fallacies to shreds Given a mission for equipping folks with spiritual ammunition To help bring back the very things we feel been lacking from vision Pimpin yea, it's really harder, to make moves that be deemed, smarter While living in a world driven by the prince of utter darkness But we oughta see by now it's time to rearrange our mind frame If we gone grow we need foundation that won't turn fickle and change Why play, with fire when you know you gone do more than sizzle Instead of trying to gain true knowledge and internalize wisdom Changing to do right and better while living through pressure is hard Especially when that pressure comes from those who dear to your heart I've suffered much as a juvenile amongst my closest of peers Yet still rose shining like a chandelier [Chorus] [Verse] Southeast side reppa 8-0-tre baby praying to the Lord daily To lead and guide my steps so I won't fall to complacency Blessed with a gift to use words as a tool of true motivation Uplifting those feeling asunder in a world thriving off hatred Can you hear me, as I rip flows from the depths of my soul Can you feel me, with the vibe I bring from 1 double 9-0 I refuse to promote stupidity putting wisdom in a prison For a fatter pocket helping bring upon the demise of my n***as Hold up freeze it, listen to me, 'fore you start speaking Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished, ni**a, believe me Peep the game I'm giving ain't to inspire felonious living But to help you grow to become one walking in the ways of dignity Seems discipline morals and being true has fallen off course Cause many are blinded by dollar signs letting their vision distort As for me, that boy named 2Ru3 (true) be deemed scott free From living fraud and acting hard, but still keeping it G [Chorus] [Verse] Precious j**els of wisdom and truth are all I'm aiming to lend Cause I wanna see you grown and thrive instead of struggling to live Conquering obstacles often made to blockade my way An individual with a vision to bring change and be great They say blood thicker than water, but no it gets thinner Same ones suppose to uplift you eat your dreams and spirit for dinner Try to tell you who you are, question then a**ume your intentions Looking at you sideways all the time like the got their vision from biggie (baby baby) Let's take it back to the essence, reuniting rap with a message Embedding motivation in our youths brains helping them reach higher levels It used to mean something to walk with honesty and love But nowadays everybody wanna be a thug What's so fun bout packing guns, slanging d** and ducking the law Chances of your life being taken plus everything you hustled for No matter what they tell you, better days can be achieved Without seeking riches by way of illegal deeds [Chorus - Outro] Reaching the ma**es through lyrical blasting from my genuine spirit....genuine spirit ( x 4 )
