Lord Finesse

Lord Finesse - Lesson to be Taught lyrics

Here we go, so pay attention to the teacher

Here to preach a lesson to reach ya

Brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews

Think that I'm joking? Well then F you

Cause I'm here to put you up on a crime scoop

It'll only take a minute of your time, troop

So don't be a dummy or a lame brain

Lord Finesse is teaching so just maintain

I'm not trying to diss you or even teach you

But here to teach you we are all equal

And show y'all in fact there's a better way

Than depending on Welfare or Medicaid

So finish up school and pass the scholar quiz

And show your children what the value of a dollar is

Cause many children are hard to please today

Cause they're searching for some type of easy way

But there's not, so who's at fault here?

So think about the lesson being taught here

How many brothers in the world you see today

Can say that they're living the legal way?

Out of 20, I could say a few of them

Out of seven I could say about two of them

Live correct and, show respect and

Don't sweat was is owned by the next man

Or front the role, being harder or tougher

Or live the life of a hustler

Selling that white stuff just to make a fast buck

But they don't stand tough when in handcuffs

So understand and comprehend and see, kid

You don't wanna take a fall like he did

Or she did or they did, or how others did

So don't sweat the lifestyle of another kid

Get yours by achieving and planning

So when they fall you'll still be standing

Set your goal, and know what your quest is

Open your ears to this positive message

"Listen up, listen up" "We're all in this together" - Cut 4x

Now I'll scramble, because life's a gamble

And like others, you go out like a candle

Like my man Tone who had crazy potential

Before he went to the house for the mentally

Disturbed, before he had crazy truck jewelery

If he wasn't scrambling, you could have fooled me

He was paid, to all the girls handsome

He could have passed for Donald Trump's grandson

He had what it took, the fame, the glory

Yeah, let's get deep in the story

Drug dealer Tone had everything sewn

Lots to own, he had a car with a phone

A cool brother, maxing, chilling

He always hung out in front of the building

But in the drug game there's no time for maxing

You always have others who want some action

And so many was jealous of Tone

Cause of the things he owned and how he got known

He had a few friends, or rather he thought he did

Some hired help, some really dirty naughty kids

Blood they shed, will kill people dead

And fill them with lead at the nod of Tone's head

For Tone, everything was going great

Because him and his friends would sit and conversate

He would chill, relax and just sit back

His friends got unruly, but Tone wasn't with that

Til one day he saw them sharing it

He thought to himself "It wouldn't hurt to experiment"

So they passed it (inhales) he hit it

There you have it, Tone got addicted

Like most drug stories, the end sound the same

Cause everything he had went down the drain

He lost everything, the money, the work

The car, to Tone, drugs came first

The wrong thing was for Tone to start that

He was getting beamed up like a member of Star Trek

The young brother went insane

Forgot his name, yo that's a damn shame

But someone in the street took responsibility

And checked Tone into a drug facility

Now Tone has a chance to get better

And clever, and get himself together

You may not like the way that I say this

But drugs ain't nothing to play with

So don't be pressured by what the grown say

Be yourself and walk your own way

"Listen up, listen up" "We're all in this together" - Cut 4x
