Salaam Remi - What Goes Around lyrics

[Produced by Salaam] [Hook] Ayo, it's poison; ecstasy, coke, you say it's love, it is poison Schools where I learned, they should be burned, it is poison Physicians prescriptin' us medicine which is poison Doctors injecting our infants with the poison Religion misoverstood is poison n***as up in my hood be getting shot, given poison [Verse 1] In hospitals, shots riddle the block Little children and elderly women run for they lives Drizzlin' rain come out the sky every time somebody dies Must be out my f**in' mind What is this, the hundredth time?! Sending flowers to funerals, reading "Rest in peace." You know, the usual, d**h comes in threes "Life is short" is what some n***a said Not if you measure life by how one lives and what he did And funny how these black-k**er companies Is makin' money off us Fast food, Cola, soda, Skull and Bone crosses; it's all poison [Hook 2] Ecstasy, coke, you say it's love, it is poison Schools where I learned, they should be burned, it is poison Physicians prescriptin' us medicine which is poison Doctors injecting our infants with the poison Religion misoverstood is poison Sisters up in my hood try to do good given choices [Verse 2] When pregnant, drop out of school, or have abortions Stop workin', hopin' that they find a man that will support 'em Up late night, on they mother's cordless Thinkin' a perm or bleachin' cream Will make them better, when they're gorgeous White girls tanning, liposuction Fake titties are implanted, fake lips, that's life destruction Light-skinned women, bi-racial, hateful toward themselves Denying even their blood I don't judge Tiger Woods, but I overstand the mental poison That's even worser than d**, yo, it's poison [Hook 3] Ecstasy, coke, you say it's love, it is poison Schools where I learned, they should be burned, it is poison Physicians prescriptin' us medicine which is poison Doctors injecting our infants with the poison Religion misoverstood is poison Radio and TV poison, white Jesus poison And any thoughts of taking me down is poison Who want beef now? My heat shall anoint them, plaow! [Interlude] Never to worry, all the wrong-doers got it coming back to 'em a thousand times over. Every dog has its day, and everything flips around. Even the most greatest nation in the world has it coming back to 'em. Everybody reaps what they sews, that's how it goes. Innocent lives will be taken. It may get worse, but we'll get through it, y'all, be strong! [Verse 3] The China-men built the railroad, the Indians saved the Pilgrim And in return the Pilgrim k**ed 'em They call it Thanksgiving, I call your holiday "hell-day" ‘Cause I'm from poverty, neglected by the wealthy Me and my n***as share gifts, everyday like Christmas Slay b**hes, and party everyday like this is the last I'm with my heckles, connectin' and we hittin' the lab This is my level, f** if it get you mad [Hook 4] It's all poison, all of my words to enemies, it is poison Rappers only talk about ki's, it's all poison How could you call yourself MC's? You ain't poison Think about the kids you mislead, with the poison And any thoughts of taking me down is all poison Who want beef now? My heat shall anoint them, plaow! [Bridge] What goes around comes around, my n***a And what goes up, it must come down, my n***a The soldiers found below the ground, my n***a Just hold it down, we older now, my n***a [Verse 4] This n***a Ike with the Iverson jersey Light-skinned with herpes f**in' sisters in Harlem, Brooklyn and D.C This is the problem, ‘cause he never tell 'em he got it From lettin' f*gs s** him off, Rikers Island in '93 Drives a Benz, hangs at all the parties, all the concerts Backstage where the stars be Rocking they shirts in b**hes faces like clockwork What's your name? Where you from? Chain blingin', thinkin' girls everywhere is dumb Taking pride in ruining their lives So they could never have babies and they could never be wives He never used a condom. Give him head? He got ya Met the wrong b**h and now he dead from the monster AIDS I contemplate, believin' in karma Those on top could just break and won't be eatin' tomorrow I know some b**hes Who be sleepin' on a n***a's dreams, they leave When that n***a blow, she the first b**h on her knees Knowing dudes that's neglecting their seeds Instead of taking care of 'em, they're spendin' money on trees I pray for you, deadbeat daddies ‘Cause when them kids get grown it's too late for you Now you old and you getting sh**ted on It's all scientific, mystic, you know, the Earth and the stars Don't hesitate to say you heard it from Nas What is destined shall be George Bush-k**er 'til George Bush k**s me Much blessings, be healthy; remember… [Bridge] What goes around comes around, my n***a And what goes up, it must come down, my n***a The soldiers found below the ground, my n***a Just hold it down, we older now, my n***a
