Work in Progress (Explicit)

Wise words bein' spoke huh y'all know what it is

Nap nappy roots can I start this one off okay

Each day I listen what the streets say

Like a DJ my negroes scratch ghetto recording's

For my peoples got the eyes of an eagle

Can't see us ever bein' at peace for a reason 'cause we ain't

Never bein' equal they got us believin' we heathens uncivil soldiers

Of evil reach up and assume the position

You know the procedure

Can't even leisure smoke hollow ** without police

And search and seizure by the same police who murdered creaser

It's brutal

Seein' them treat us like lower creatures than human beings more

So like aliens tourin' the land of Europeans

Seemin' to have the tendency to think we ignorant

'Cause of our pigment can't take away

A niggas dignity though still I pimp the industry hoe and even when

I'm rich I'm a pretend to be poor

My life's a work in progress soon to be

End of the road but I don't stress cause I have been her before

You know

My life's a work in progress

And even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor

My life's a work in progress

But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before

My life's a work in progress

And even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor

My life's a work in progress

But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before

In life every step you take every right every left you make

You can look at it like chess in a way 'cause life is best when

You take your time don't make a move unless you done made up

Your mind play by the rules don't ever play the fool

Sometimes you play and lose but you still pay your dues

Come on

Everybody knows the cost to be the boss

Yeah the price is kind of steep but sacrifice is never cheap

I learned that life can be sweet

And bitter at the same time it's the ying verse the yang

Sorta like rain without shine

Sometimes against the grain you grind

Gotta grit your teeth and bear it

Matthew 5 verse 5 the earth the meek shall inherit

Cherish the day before you perish away 'cause who can say

How many days your power last

It's like a crack in your hourglass

In a flash the hours pass

Then you're gone gone gone

My life's a work in progress

And even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor

My life's a work in progress

But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before

My life's a work in progress

And even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor

My life's a work in progress

Like there long life livin' get will bring you close you dyin'

The more laughs one had will bring you close to cryin'

Cold unforgiving planet yea it is racists and communicatin'

Those who wrong did

I daydream back to the 80's when we was all kids

A stab wound kidnappin' but experience though at the time

Not a glock would blow in da wind it's a good day in the hood

To witness a stabbin' now stories told to us

Without tragedy seem like

It involve bloodshed automatically

If you ever get a chance

Just stop and use your mind observe the world for yourself and ju

Your time

Yeah oh yeah that's right

Smoke somethin' with your country people

Drank somethin' with your country people

My life's a work in progress

Thinkin' back in junior high when sex was the sh*t

Fein' p**sy now a day can get you killed quick

'Bout shootin' ball in now they 'bout getting licks

I'm playin' nappy roots just to hear the realest sh*t

Expect it to the best of my know how and my rapping wit

See next to nothing sugar coated in these cold streets

Whatever you do be smart tote your heat

Did I mention if you don't work you don't eat

If you ever get a chance stop and use your mind

Observe the world for yourself and check the time

Yea smoke somethin' with your country people

My life's a work in progress

And even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor

My life's a work in progress

But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before

My life's a work in progress

And even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor

My life's a work in progress

But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before

But I don't stress 'cause I have been here before
