Organized Noize - The Field lyrics

[Hook: Nivea (Cool Breeze)] (The field) What we waiting for, let's finish it (The field) We can't run no more, we innocent (The field) What we waiting for, we innocent (The field) We can't run no more, let's finish it (The field) [Verse 1] See where I'm from I was taught that Two wrongs don't make a right but it'll damn sure get your money back So best believe you got's to watch folks You hit cho' lights, they have they face off in yo place Just like a co*kroach Tryin' to hit chu' for yo index Tear some paper out the back and re-arrange your whole contents That's why you gotta keep yo history In a book so when they look it'll never be a mystery I've seen people come and leave, comeback and leave Come back and still ain't stack no G's So everybody won't be pushin' bu*tons Just the ones who gave they all when you know they didn't have nothin' We comin' what chu' gonna do when we run In a pack against a pit and lay up under the sun [Hook] [Verse 2] See growin' up is like a girlfriend Ya keep ya cool, take ya time, and when ya day come you put it in That's a reflection on ya whole life From the moments you wake up to those minutes that you pray at night Like when they pushed you at the playground And all ya friends would wonder Why you yelled "the field" before you threw down That's just yo instincts tryin' to tell ya heart That is ya mother wished the best for you You'd be tested it from the jump start So that's when people come around and wonder What make you tick, how you do it, but you keep ya business on the under I ask my folks question every season They say the Lord blessed every child, boy he blessed you with a reason So with that I go for years and years On a quest to return and reveal to my peers [Hook] [Verse 3] What if yo life story was in a book And they left certain words that only you could say Because they knew you looked That's like your future bein' planned for you You know who real and who fake and who ya friends and who gon' be loyal You keep yo thoughts on a level That don't nobody know what chu' be doin' next Cause you change like the weather You the chosen, the one who reveal Every battle that we battled and every hill that we build Your life is their forever burnin' torch So the messages you carry reach and travel importance See in the book you was this place that people actually lived They disappeared in the mists of the hemispheres But when they return they speak of travelin' on their journey back home We shall rise once again and let it be known [Hook]
