212 Recording - In For The k** lyrics

[Verse 1: Caskey] I been asleep for far too long It feels good to be alive when we're sitting at home Thinking we all caught, knowing when I drop mine It'll be an onslaught, homie, it's time And boy the times remind me that Nostradamus [?] gave signs While they was in the cycle, I was getting mine With a couple Einsteins and planning my arrival, so vital Don't got the time to waste, just slang bibles Our kids got time to face [?] 'Cause they see all these TV shows and no American idol Who gon' be it? I'm tryin' to take the truth and OD it They say the real is back, I don't see it So if we gotta burn a couple MCs, so be it I put 'em all at the stake, set fire to the whole thang Tell me who fake and who real and who ain't Or if we all got chains we can't break out I was asleep, I'm awake now [Chorus: Elly Jackson & Caskey] We can fight our desires, ooh But when we start making fires (I was asleep, I'm awake now) We get ever so hot (Yeah) ooh Whether we like it or not (I was asleep, I'm awake now) I'm going in for the k** I'm doing it for a thrill (Yeah) Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand [Verse 2: Caskey] I swear, I had two shots And no one's caught, God damn The plan was out of wack, the crack turned to sand My lucid dream detached, I'm back, into the landscape Whoa, I work till my hand break Push that work like it's my Aunt Tay Into the center of the pot, my [?] unlocked Government say I got a criminal plot Couldn't never say I tried to help ya to criminal [?] And those are subliminal shots Got something to say, I'll put you on blast in the Colosseum God body, should've been a Mausoleum They say you got clones, but they don't know how to be him Plus he got hoes, but they don't wake up till the PM Never get to see him 'cause he in the studio and can't break out I was asleep, I'm awake now [Chorus: Elly Jackson & Caskey] We can fight our desires, ooh But when we start making fires (I was asleep, I'm awake now) We get ever so hot (Yeah) ooh Whether we like it or not (I was asleep, I'm awake now) I'm going in for the k** I'm doing it for a thrill (Yeah) Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand [Verse 3: Caskey] Yo, this is just me when I'm alone, grandmama living upstate My mama at home looking like she ain't got faith My sister in a rat race, I been in the game But I ain't coming in last place, way too many ash trays Been a lot of pain since my father went and pa**ed, wait I ain't get to say goodbye to him on his last day So excuse me if I'm bitter And excuse me if these hoes, they looking like gold diggers I'm a cold k**er, another told me "go figure" Mistook me for just being a rapper and dro dealer And then he slipped up, the trigger got pulled I live in the times when sh** live, liquor is cool Kids don't go to school, everyone and they mama pack a tool So, it makes sense to pack two Is that cool? I'm sorry for the time I had to take out I was asleep, I'm awake now [Chorus: Elly Jackson & Caskey] We can fight our desires, ooh But when we start making fires (I was asleep, I'm awake now) We get ever so hot (Yeah) ooh Whether we like it or not (I was asleep, I'm awake now) I'm going in for the k** I'm doing it for a thrill (Yeah) Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand I'm going in for the k** I'm doing it for a thrill Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand
