[Intro:]
When the lights shut off
And it’s my turn to settle down
My main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me

I said when the lights shut off
And it’s my turn to settle down
My main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me

[Verse 1:]
I woke up this morning and figured I’d call you
In case I’m not here tomorrow
I’m hoping that I can borrow a piece of mind
I’m behind on what’s really important
My mind is really distorted
I find nothing but trouble in my life
I’m fortunate you believe in a dream
This orphanage we call a ghetto is quite a routine
And last night was just another distraction
Or a reaction of what we consider madness
I know exactly what happened
You ran outside when you heard my brother cry for help
Held him like a newborn baby and made him feel
Like everything was alright
And a fight he tried to put up, but the type
Of bullet that stuck had went against his will
As blood spilled on your hands
My plans rather vindictive

Verse One:
People have a memory loss they don’t remember I’m the boss
You’re claustraphobic when I close it
In on your men and your faculty you wack’ll be
Out my face you must be basin’ if you think
That you could tackle the triumphant I pump it
The volume increase as you mices get sliced to pieces
Please listen to my album even if you’re white like talcum
And I paid t’getcha stay here
Tuned with my tune and I presume if you see doom designated
To anyone who stated, a word against me
I serve an mc, simply
Put like my foots up your anus, ya shame us
Tryin’ to get over, I’ma go for mine
You know the time now they are older
I’m gonna rip n—a’s heads with the said salutations
Introducing Del and his bid for boosting tails
Of my adventures, attempt to try
And you will limp or die, whichever I choose, you lose
Crews get ashamed cause we blame them for bitin’
You might win if you start writing, and stop fighting
No time for games, I’ll rearrange my vocals
In your headphones, I hold til I get a answer
Acknowledge and abolish all the wack records
Hieroglyphics, you know, repect ’em

Chorus: [repeat 2X]
Who caught the harm, you bought the farm
If you’re friend, there’s no need for alarm

Yeah, gotta say what’s up to my n—a Slick Rick
For those who don’t like it, eat a d–k
But for those who with me, sing that s–t
As it go a little something like this

La Di Da Di, we likes to party
We don’t cause trouble, we don’t bother nobody
We’re, just some n—az who’re on the mic
And when we rock up on the mic we rock the mic (right)
For all my Doggs keepin y’all in health
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
Cuz it’s cool when ya cause a cozy conditioning
Which we create, cuz that’s our mission
So listen close, to what we say
Because this types of shit happens every-day
I woke up around 10 o’clock in the mornin
I gave myself a stretch up, a mornin yawn and
went to the bathroom to wash up
I threw some soap on my face and put my hands up on a cup
and said um “Mirror mirror, on, the wall
Who is the top Dogg of them all?”
There was a rubble dubble, five minutes it lasted
The mirror said, “You are you conceited bastard”
Well that’s true, that’s why we never have no beef
So I slipped off my khakis and my gold leaf
Used Oil of Olay, cause my skin gets pale
And then I got the file, for my fingernails
