Shyne - You're Welcome lyrics

[Hook:] Close your eyes and turn off the lights Listen to the words that this author writes Seen so much, so many poor to life Darker life, wrong's only God can right [Verse 1:] Think back when I was loose, rolling around Extra [?], bout to gun something down Ain't care about a rap career cat You violate I go twist ya bedcap I'm kinda blessed that night in that club Nobody died from that slug I think about the way that I was I tell ya I was on one, cause Bout to catch a few bodies, woulda probably caught the chair First album ya'll woulda never got to hear I can't believe that I'm here, I should've been buried with my pad [Hook:] Close your eyes and turn off the lights Suffering all my life Listen to the words that this author writes Close your eyes and turn off the lights And listen to the words that this author writes [Verse 2:] I guess everything happens for a rhyme and reason Still don't excuse the lying and treason You could face 100 years in the precinct Keep your mouth closed, ain't no speaking When you in the streets, this is how it goes Police ask you say 'you don't know' Make sure the witness all follow same code d**h before dishonor 'til they take away your soul I need to know, how my co-d called witness to sacrifice me Just so he can get away free, this does not comply with the streets But he ain't from there, this is not a smear This is what they fear, the whole truth, I swear [Hook:] Close your eyes and turn off the lights Listen to the words that this author writes Close your eyes and turn off the lights Man, only wrongs God can right [Verse 3:] Look, one thing about me, I was never naive I might've played dumb to get what I need But I could see, who was he, nothing ain't surprise me about this creep Ha, I from the land of the east, all up in the streets Man mi nuh skin teeth, eyes wide shut shotta don't sleep Look, I seen the plot. What he did to Mase, and he did to LOX What he did to Wolf and he did to? God bless the dead, Notorious PAC Why would I think that I was different, so I just sat in the distance Kept my mouth closed, looked and listened Learned all the trades of the sharks and fishes Turn off the lights Suffering all my life Wrongs only God can right [Verse 4:] I got partners go to jail for bodying? Get shot, know who shot him? I won't testify in court This kid got millions, that's how he talks Should've took that paper, made his soul walk Talking about he ain't responsible for my actions Man, if I was yapping the world, woulda knew what happened Them kids was about to wrap him Shyne, they should thank him. But nooooo, they hate him I hope I ain't rambling, ya'll got questions I'm just answering [Hook:] Close your eyes and turn off the lights Listen to the words that this author writes Suffering all my life Man, wrongs only God can right [Verse 5:] Alpo did it to Rich, Brutus did it to Caesar Throughout history, the thing is repeated In a world where Sammy the Bull is leaders Frank Lucas' and Joseph Ma**ino's Nooooo, that ain't my world All I got is my... and my word Until the electric chair burns, I don't bend I don't turn You ain't to blame for the witness you called To say it was me, naaah that ain't your fault The lawyers you paid, I mean that you bought To sacrifice me in open court, ha I moved on, I promise no more songs Blood, I wish you well, haha, now watch me sell
