Smooth - The Dope Man lyrics

Do you know where you're going to Do you like the things that dope are showing you Where are you going to Take a deep breath, aren't you scared of the crime that's filling the air Well, boy oh boy what's the world coming to Turn on the news to see who k**ed who See the dope man wherever you're going Seeing young girls turning into the dope hoes Well yo yo, it's time check it out You're being self destroyed, you're being played out And with guns your lives are being laid out And jail's a place you never stay out This is on a positive tip So listen close if you don't wanna slip I knew this one guy, his name I won't mention Sex and money was his main intention The jimmy hat, it could have been his invention Robbing and stealing, murdering and k**ing Losing his mind now he's in jail billing It all started with slinging four bends Knowing that their lifestyle would have to end But he would pretend with all of his friends He was the big time spend double spending a spend But yo, that's not the was it would go The feds cold busted with a couple of kilo Ten to twenty five plus some gun pull jive Now his woman kids as tears come down his eyes Aw, because he's really getting care about the crime that's filling the air Stay away from the dope man Stay away from the dope Stay away from the dope man Learn how to say no I take a trip down memory lane This was my homey and ??? Got hooked to 'cane thought she'd gain, what came was pain The dope man I went to a house and dope move then She was looking so frail and just to the thin I said girl, girl, look how you're changed You're mind rearranged cause they're heading for danger The dope changed her She used to be a scholar making big dollars But dope moved in, I tried to warn her She was smoking, doing coke and just into doping She wouldn't listen, now she's missing Every time I see her she starts denying, living a lying I've seen her not long ago standing on a corner she turned into a ho I said, oh no, that's how she went? Now her life on dope is spent Stay away from the dope man Stay away from the dope Stay away from the dope man Learn how to say no Guys, girls g**ners, dope slinger Whoever that you may be Listen close to Smooth the MC Do you know where you're going to Do you like the things that dope is showing you Where are you going to Where is it leading, where are you headed? It seems to me into a permanent bedding You better turn back or your life you'll lack Oh, is that how it should stay? Smoke your dope dope, get your dope pay? Go on and have a dope day? That's how you want it to be? You'd rather sell dope to your brothers who live legally? Or die and make your mother cry? All of this for a five second high? So many die Stay away from the dope man Stay away from the dope, well alright Stay away from the dope man Learn how to say no All you out there who don't wanna slip Remember the positive tip Stay away from the dope man
