Smooth it out
This is a story about the drifter
Who waited through
the worst for the best in crosstown
Who never planned on havin' so dick
Why me huh
Everything's gonna be alright alright
Everything's gonna be alright alright
Everything's gonna be alright now alright
Everything's gonna be alright alright
Some get a little and some get none
Some catch a bad one and
some leave the job half done
I was one who never had and always mad
Never knew my dad mother fuck the fag
Where anywhere I did pick up flipped the clip up
Too many stick ups
'cause niggas had the trigger hic ups
I couldn't get a job nappy hair was not allowed
My mother couldn't afford us
all she had to throw me out
I walked the strip which is a clip who wanna hit
They got 'em quick I had to eat
this money's good as spent
I threw in graves I wasn't paid enough
I kept 'em long 'cause I couldn't afford a haircut
I got laughed at I got chumped I got dissed
I got upset I got a tech in the banana clip
Was down to throw the led to any tellin' crackhead
I'm still livin' broke so a lot of good it would've did
Or done if not for bad luck I would have none
Why did I have to live a life of such a bad one
Why when I was a kid and played out was a sad one
And always wanted to live like just a fat one
Everything's gonna be alright alright
Everything's gonna be alright alright
Everything's gonna be alright now alright
Everything's gonna be alright alright
A ghetto bastard born next to the projects
Livin' in the slums with bums I sit and watch them
Why do I have to be like this momma said
I'm priceless
So I am all worthless starved and
it's just for being a nice kid
Sometimes I wish
I could afford a pistol then though
Last stop to hell
I would've ended things a while ago
I ain't have jack but a black hat and napsack
Four squad stolen in cars in a blackjack
Drop that and now you want me to rap and give
Say somethin' positive
Well positive ain't where I lived
I lived right around a corner from west hell
Two blocks from south shit it was in a jail cell
The sun never shone on my side of the street see
And only once or twice a week I would speak
I walked alone my state of
mind was home sweet home
I couldn't keep a girl they wanted
kids for cause of chrome
Some life it you ain't wear
gold your style was old
And you got more juice
than dope for every bottle sold
Hell no I say there's gotta be a better way
But hey never gamble any game
that you can't play
I'm slowin' and flowin' and
goin' in on and knowin' not now
How will I do it how will
I make it I won't that's how
Why me huh
Everything's gonna be alright alright
Everything's gonna be alright alright
Everything's gonna be alright now alright
Everything's gonna be alright alright
My third year into adulthood
and still a knucklehead
I'm better off dead huh
that's what my neighbor said
I don't do jack but fightin'
lightin' up the streets at night
Playin' hide and seek
with a machetti like Freddy swipe
Some say I'm rollin' on nothin' but a dog now
I answer that with a tech who wanna bow wow
'Cause I done been through
more shit within the last week
Than I fly flowin' in doo doo on the concrete
I been a deadbeat dead to the world
and dead wrong
Since I was born that's my life
oh you don't know this song
So don't say jack and
please don't say you understand
All that man to man talk just hot damn
If you ain't live you couldn't
feel it so kill it skillet
And all that talk about it
won't help it out now will it
And illtown fell like I stuck up props got shot
Don't worry I hit Bob flurry
and his punk ass dropped
But I'm the one who has been
labeled as an outcast
They changin' schools
I'm the misfit that will outlast
But that's cool with the bull
smack 'em backwards
That's what you get for fuckin'
with a ghetto bastard
If you ain't ever been to the ghetto
Don't ever come to the ghetto
'Cause you ain't understand the ghetto
And stay the fuck out of the ghetto
Why me
alright
