K-Rino - Straighten It Out lyrics

(Have you been to the ghetto lately?) Hell yeah, I've been in this mothaf**a since day one and I ain't trying To get out... Straighten it out... [K-Rino] Yo Blank man, you know I understand where you coming from... You don't have to explain all that to me, dog... All I can tell you to do is watch out for them laws and keep your nuts up... K-Rino know you ain't no punk, man... See, a lot of people gonna try to get you slipping... So you gotta watch your back, homeboy... You know I'm right behind you so don't even look back... [Point Blank] All I remember is I was playing with a matchbox Took the matches out and fill it up with rocks When I'm up the cut I slum, a lot of n***as got hum But I was one of the lucky ones Anyway I kept doing Not knowing something had come along ruing it Dope fiend set me up I lost my money, my car and my nuts It was hard to forget and when I finally realized I ain't got sh** I wanted to skip town and give them a chase I said: 'f** it!', got a lawyer and tried to beat the case I walked up in the courtroom And looked around at the place where I soon meet my doom The judge asked what I plea I waited a couple of minutes and said: 'Damn, I'm guilty!' I had to go to the penitentiary Best he can give me was 6 and I knew I had to do 3... Long years behind bars With the rest of American Most Wanted's stars Then I asked myself: 'Why me?' I should've thought about this when I was making that money sh**, now I'm in a jailcell all alone Trying to get used to my new home Thinking about things that I used to do Planning when I get out what I'm not gonna do Hell, 3 years ain't that long It will give me some time to write a whole lot of songs Man, now I'm trying to chill myself up But deep inside my heart's just toe-up Trying to psych myself out But at the couple of months I've been played this sh** out I used to be a crazy a** dope man Rolling with Scarface, Terrorists and the Peter Man I should've listened to the godfather He said: 'Blank, you better chill or your a** gonna suffer!' And that's exactly what I'm doing Damn, my life is ruing Selling that sh**... [K-Rino] Yeah, I know you gotta live and learn... No brothas won't even sweat that...It will be alright... Yeah, South Park Coalition gotta stick together, man... Society ain't going with us so I say down the society... You know what I'm talking about, brothas? Blank, you know you're a child of a concrete so you can handle anything That comes at you... Got a mind like a handgranade detinated to explode to them laws Brotha... [Point Blank] My son was 8 months when I lost track And he'll be damn near 4 when I get back And if do see him then Will he know I his father or think I'm a strange man Sometimes I say he'll remember me But if I ask: 'Come here, bean!', will he answer me? I guess this I never know Until I get out in 1994... [K-Rino] Yeah, times get to the point where a brotha don't know what's coming at him... See, Point Blank's kicking reality... S.P.C. can't go wrong... Yo, Blank, I know you did wrong, brotha... Sometimes you gotta go wrong to learn what's right... You know what I'm talking about? I know you do... [Point Blank] Now I'm back in the streets and guess what I'm starting? Selling d** and store robbing My son was bigger than a mothaf**a I was 22, he was 4, looked just like my little brotha Deep in my heart I felt nothing but pain Couldn't count worth sh** but I can measure some c**aine My father said: 'Son, ya better sit down... Or somebody gonna put you in the ground!' But no, I ain't listening I make my own decisions, f** the a**-kissing I'm not a menace to society God damn it, society is a menace to me Point Blank is strong I did what ever I had to do cause I knew I wouldn't live long So I called my girlfriend She said: 'Baby, please stop, you just got out of the pen!' But one day a lot sh** went wrong Punk mothaf**as done tap my telephone Yeah, they tired to rob me I knew it wasn't a hit cause the sh** was slobby I went along with it The last thing I saw was the sky and I never forget it And as I layed on the ground I said: 'God, I let you down!' I guess it's too late to straighten it out... [K-Rino] Yo, Blank, we moving like a shadow, baby...K-Rino gots your back... As these streets raise you, use your brain...It will be alright... There ain't no choice for n***as out there... So you got people making your life go with you... My boy Dope-E, Egypt-E, K.O...You can't loose with that S.P.C... South Park is a war...n***as born drafted... But Ice Cream and Milk is always on your side... Let it ride, brotha...Let it ride... 86...Dope...
