Family Tree

[Intro: Treach] Sometimes because of jealousy and the intent to demise Certain factions have to be forbidden or destroyed Fire has to be sent to the poisoned forest With the root of fresh trees planted elsewhere Only then will you obtain a wilderness That cannot be penetrated, petrified - family tree [Chorus] See what started as a family forest got cut To a family tree with the limbs and the leaves Looking' at the world for answers; the world points to the sun And the sun says the answers in me So I search through the darkness, can't find the key So we locked in the land of the lost; Lord, please Tomorrow ain't promised to you nor me So now we choose the roots, so we can plant new trees [Verse 1: Treach] Many minds always meet with pens and sheets Close my eyes, think what next on my rhymes, see this face in ink I'm havin' visions of wisdom, dreamin' 'bout my own ending Am I seein' death as freedom and livin' as prison My son didn't have a daddy to shape him So God bless him with a daddy to save him, Yeah, I raise him And pay some attention, he talked and he listened To reach him and teach him fefore I'm gone from existence Teach him 'bout the foes, the ho's and all opponents Those that always talk 'bout love but never showed it Those who had the chances to stand and always blowed it Those that set you up by the hour to steal your moment Pac the word is you ain't there so fuck the rumor I'll get a pound of that shit from Bermuda and meet you in Cuba Fucked up on Larusa no doubt, I know the locale If they gotta born you, I'm gonna mourn you 'til I join you [Chorus] [Verse 2: Vin Rock] Uhh, and now I know I got some family Who missed me from the heart, forever we're apart Just because I'm nothin' and you abuse me and use me Now you wanna try to go bruise me And even though maybe we'll end up farther than it once was I know family don't always mean that they blood, cause Some people just don't give a nigga what Some people tried to use my name so all the fat we had to cut And I'm still walking with my six amp strut Urban eyes see through camouflage and now I know who's butt So when I sent you tried to play me, all of a sudden now I'm shady Maybe deep down in my heart, never trust you from the start Never hoped you'd be my homie, don't come 'round my way And if we never speak again, it's got to be that way This millennium, we'll be spankin' your heiny Remind thee Naughty invented family of the 90's [Chorus] [Verse 3: Treach] Life doesn't end when the sweat dries A time when a nickle cost a dollar, when you rise, your chest dies My dynasty many fear it 'cos I'm near it Ancient Egyptian scriptures fitted in through hyroglyphics Motherfuckers try to touch my mental state Niggas smile up in your face and then they infiltrate So it seems nowadays that the only plan To get my people help my people get a load of land And I'ma see it if I have to kill some shit To make my family tree a motherfucking wilderness See a black man standin' on the promised land Since they broke every promise, I devised a plan This black this and black that crap is gettin' touchy Any black hat that cross my path, I call him lucky Those who turn they back with they fears and try to D us Before they can see us they gonna need a sweet Jesus [Chorus] x2
