I Need To Know

[Verse One] Try to hold us back will be the last thing you did It's gon' be a major problem in the worst kind of way People seem to forget, the problems of the world, until they Scheme and forget your diamonds and your pearls Now a days in the streets there's no code of honor No more men amongst men, no respect for they mama Want chips for fame, whips on dubs Guns, drugs and motherfuckers want love See people always seem to want a lot for a little No respect, no manners, loyalty and no principles No class, nothing for that ass One man's treasure is the next man's trash Like one man's death is the next man's life Life one man's hoe is the next man's wife Still, no class, nothing for that ass But one man's treasure is the next man's trash [Hook] I'll live for, I'll die for, my people, my people shit You need to know Niggas need to know Got love, get sex, got war, get crazy Got niggas, got fine ass ladies Shit, you need to know Niggas, you need to know [Verse Two] Ayo it kills me to see good niggas lose freedom Lose a life so young and they ain't really do nothing Snakes in the grass, snitches in the streets Flowers on the wall, jealousy in [?] It's like a motherfucker played like man made AIDS People kill and get paid, many piss on the grave Smile in your face, screaming "ride or die" Nigga changing they face Why they lied on my nigga? Niggas in the hood that'll play real tough But they tell everything when they in them handcuffs Smile in your face screaming "ride or die" Nigga changing they face Why they lied on my nigga? [Hook] [Verse Three] Having raw sex, drinking liquor smoking cigarettes It ain't funny what people do for the money Lie, cheat, steal in the land, kill or be killed Hoes on the tracks selling pussy for the bills Said you don't wanna do it don't do it while you doing it Some pushing you, keeping your soul from soaring It's truth, why you fighting if the battle ain't fair? See the wars want counsel, motherfucker I don't care To this monstrous life shit will always be a part of me Like when dope fiends pumping shit in they arteries And as for the ladies, shit I get 'em all day And I ain't pumping out songs like Fifty or Jay Look [Hook]
