TBird - CMG Salutes La Banga lyrics

[Intro: Mr. Chernak] Life will let you get away With somethin for a while Sooner or later, you will pay the price When you get the bill? Heh, don't be shocked Don't act like you don't understand Everything you do in life causes the effects That you experience, and when you get that bill Be prepared to pay When the moment of wreckoning comes You may feel as if you unable to forgive yourself You may be too proud, to ask for forgiveness There may be no way you can make amends or restitutions In the worst case scenario, you may be faced with all of these Posibilities, at the same, time And should that happen, remember this Life knows what you capable of The only reason life has taken the time To point out your shortcomings And nasty habits, is that life wants you to act like you know who you are This is called Self Support, Self Care and Self Love Until today, you may not of have realized That you have allowed others to be involved In a crime against you, you may have allowed them To support you and sacrificing yourself And believing that you are helping or serving them Just for today, don't be a yes person Take care of yourself, don't give what you have, for what you need Be supportive and self loving enough To say no, and in the words of the master, Malcolm X Asa lama lakum, my brothers [Chorus: T-Bird] Why must all my good brothers go I'm asking God, that's the question I want to know Know, know, so I'm asking him why I think about you, while these tears is in my eyes But I know God got a soldier in the sky Sky, sky, shorty's gon' be alright [Fes Taylor] Coming from Jersey, got the word, La's gone House Gang CD on, pumping La's song I think back, we was on tour You was rocking my chain, I was rocking yours Made me feel kinda strange, I can't even cry Maybe cuz I'm used to hearing my people's die Another casualty of war, but actually I don't understand, so I'm asking the Lord Is it all law, treated like dogs on all fours Pain like you caught in the beartrap and lost paws Take a short pause, and reminisce Pain make me wanna forget, so my memory limited How you finish it, we just beginning it My homey's died for this, so I'm living it Y. Million, wish I could bring him back to I think it's time for my Loose Linx tattoo [Chorus] [Inspectah Deck] How do I say goodbye? When I just said hi When I just saw you riding by When I just said those nights was fly Now I look at your seed, and I see you when I look in his eyes How can I be the same? Knowing one day it's my turn to leave the game I try to find ways to ease the ways, keep it dripping Sipping VSOP, cuz my team is slain While I'm writing, tears soaking the page, I'm so in the rage I'm so in a daze, I'm still in denile I'm blowing my haze, I can't get no higher, I'm going insane If you can hear me and you watching me now Give me a sign, something I can see now Aiyo, I'm struggling to make it out of the hood, son Damn, they took another good one [Chorus] [Hue Hefna] Life crazy, amazed to have you puzzled Head high, so I stand above my troubles I sit and build with myself Obama's right, change is better for your health First it started wit the crabs in the barrel My path straight, it used to be a little narrow I had to make my circle tighter No snakes allowed or crabs in my cypher Still I'm praying for my homey's in the system It's kind of hard, trying not to fall victim Shine brighter than the sun, this is my solar system Ninety degrees, flow sharper than a prism Pain is more fuel to the fire To get me closer to them things I desire Trying to cool off cuz I'm moving through the fire Life better than trees, gets me higher I had to put a leash on my anger sh** is crazy, rest in peace to La Banga Another soldier gone but not forgotten The truth will always shine, we get it popping
