Mighty Mighty Bosstones - What's At Stake lyrics

Have I told you lately that I love you

Well if I didn't darlin' I'm sorry

Did I reach out and hold you in my loving arms, when you needed me

Now I realize that you need love, too, and I'll spend my life makin' up to you

Oh, I forgot to be your lover, and I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

First it was Pac and then Big, I know you feelin' me kid

It had me trippin' and I'm thinkin' what kind of joke that it is

And then when Pun died it made me think of his kids

And it bring the tears to my eyes when I see these babies cry

And can't forget the Eazy, and you then know that it's fo-sheezy

Got no time for flossin' when these soldiers out here need me

And them Gravediggas, and while chasin' major figures

But the things we say are seeds that we planted, they gettin' with us

Chorus

Now I realize that you need love to

And I'll spend my life makin' up tp you

Consumed by the things of this world

And never respectin' our girls

We callin' them hos when they diamonds and pearls

And then they miss Aaliyah, so many out here wanna be her

Don't even know when the next time and when they really gonna see her

And we forgot about Him, unless we use Him in vain

And all these evil speekin' lyrics disrespectin' His name

These rappers sayin' nothin', that's why he tryin' to tell us something

While we kickin' rhymes, I see Him steady showin' signs

No more popin' pills, watchin' these young ones livin' ill

You glamorize the wicked, that's the kind of stupid that's gettin' us killed

Chorus

They drivin' Escalades, and Benz' and Lexus' and Jaguars

They rollin' on 22's with DVDs in they cars

Everyday on MTV and so they know who you are

Plus the way you live your life is like a movie star

They popin' Xs in the Lexus' Fine firls with diamond neckless'

Talkin' about how good the sexs is

And Pops gotta cry 'cuz we lost our Left-Eye

But behind the tragedy there's a reason why

Chorus
