Gang Starr - 2 Deep lyrics

I'm 2 deep and yes much too complicated

my lines when stated are quite often underrated

so consider it a privilege to hear this

those weak minded opinions could never come near this

for my outlook on life is a profound view

whil the suckers act down thinking that they sound new

only a few sound true

me and the crew know who

cuz you see me and the fellas have been waiting for a while now

giving you the time to get your wack-ass style down

you punks pop junk as if life is a fantasy

knowing that hard is something you can't be

so you front but you could never call my bluff

cuz you'll catch hell you'll get dealt with

Chorus

I never sleep

I always peep

rhymes creep

I'm 2 Deep

I'm 2 Deep....

Verse Two

I forgive you sike I'm takin' your life

cuz you continue to disrespect so I'ma get trife

but then again I think I'll spare ya

cuz I know tht all it takes one rhyme just to scare ya

see I'm the holder of the key

don't ask me if I'm Muslim don't say nothin' to me

I said I was raised like one son I had two cousins

they pushed me to find myself or else they knew I wasn't

gonna make it and then end up a statistic

my life was twisted I almost missed it

the chance yes the chance to make you feel good

I used to steal goods and fake my parents out real good

but now I got K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E of self cuz I'm me

and the nation of Islam has my support

cuz they try to reeducate the ones who are lost

and the 5 percent nation takes other steps

to get through to brothers on the corners with the reps

and in the prison they give the brothers new visions

of how we can gain wealth gain self esteem and dream

of a total different scene I dress clean, stand lean

say what I mean and I'm out

like a scout on a new route exhibitting clout

Chorus

Verse Three

for right now yo my religion is rhyming

perfect timing test the flow and climb in

Ansaar, Sunnite, Sheite, Jihad

all must regard the times are hard

unite or perish

is the message I cherish

that goes for my people of all religions

if we're all black why have so many divisions

superficial factors are drawing us apart

don't let it happen

let's put some respect back in

so before I act I think cuz it's the brink of destruction

word corruption what's up son your gun is just one

and I just might have one

or two or maybe even three or four

and plus an army of 100 or more

but violence is never my first choice

I come in peace to release the effect of my voice

Chorus
