Ant - Multiples Reprise (Remix) 97 lyrics

(woman singing) You can hear the clock inside the ticking and tocking Repeat 7x (fading out) (man speaking) So you see sir, my deck of cards serves me as a bible An alamanac...and a prayer book My friends this story is true I know I was that soldier [Verse 1] I use to know this kid named Jesse He could get wild on the mic but his lifestyle was sketchy, Always messy You could catch him on the corner of 19th and 3rd Until the cops caught him first, with pockets of rocks and herb But there was once this cat name Ivan, he was the man Get the digits from your b**h before you could say p**y diving Driving home drunk from the front one night He tied his '84 Tempo round a street light Me and Mike Remember that scary chick Caroline Very careful when you met her cause you knew she f**ed with h**n Mother of two, no one knew, because the twins stayed with her mom But when they finally found the b**h still had the twist round her arm sh**, I can't forget about that big kid Gino f**ing diesel, do damn near anything for a c-note His older sister talked his twisted a** Into k**ing Steves girl so she could get with Steve faster Oh yea, speaking of Steves girl, the one that Gino k**ed Her name was Phadra, she use to stand on tables down at Deja Tits and clits and car payments and rent and MCC tuition [Hook] And this goes to those of y'all that wanna f** my girl Or be down with my crew, or be part of my world Be leary of what you wish for Cause its more than rhymes and good times behind this door [Verse 2] Ayo, yo-yo-yo-yo yo I know this kid named Moses Use to buy all the tapes and say that Headshots was the dopest When up for raping a chick in a mall parking lot Now I hope he gets a dick and broomstick in every orifice Free Love Thats what Heather use to say But when I took her up on it, she said that she was gay Well, wait a minute, why you shake your a** to any cat with a link Looked me in me eye, smiled and said Free Drinks! My man Todd had a tight studio up inside his home And if you had some coke you could come and bless the microphone Starting selling equipment to fill the pipe f** this life, Todd hung himself with a cord from that mic Cynthia wanted to travel, drive around the country Left the city on a journey, came back with a junkie He use to beat her, if it wasn't physical it was mental He didn't leave her until she tried to stab him with a pencil That kid Jay he was a thief, stole bikes and cars Use to get real high and try to drive to Mars One night got hot while approaching a road block Shut his eyes, hit the gas and ran right over a cop Damn! [Hook] [Verse 3] Its the blood clot blues, the gun-shot wounds The needles and spoons, doomed from the womb til the tomb For whom the bell tolls, this will pay for the toll free calls made Underage, she said that Jesus gave her AIDS Now and days the life of f** follows folks In my city and some flip their trucks over center meridians Some do their d** to float above the stress And some overdose so they can finally rest Many walk around like they blind to the mishap Talk-show gospel, smell the tic-tacs and Simulax Six pack to make the good and bad balance Walking tall is a gift and steady breathing is a challenge Adaption, domesticated b**h to your surroundings You quit singing along but the ball kept bouncing Now we keep to self and step over the vermon Found me sleeping in a pool of my own sweat and urine I'm determined to find a path so I can leave you all I miss the rise and I ain't trying to see the fall So this goes to those that trying to rest in peace Save me a seat and we'll play chess when I get released [Hook] [Outro] These are people who tried, tried These are people who tried, tried These are people who tried, tried All my friends, they tried.. (man speaking) So you see sir, my deck of cards serves me as a bible An alamanac...and a prayer book My friends this story is true I know I was that soldier
