J Dilla - Snakes lyrics

[Produced by J Dilla] [Intro] Free Max B Owww (owwwwwww) Uh uh (uh uh) x3 It's like (it's like) [Verse 1: Joey BADA$$] Sometimes I feel alienated Because I'm not up in the stadium playing or on the radio sayin' "f** 'em broads we don't love 'em we degradin' 'em!" But always find my self back at the bacchan*lian Blood vessels poppin' out my craniums n***as askin' when the tape gon' drop but I got nothin' to say to them Because I been slacking the sk**, although my pa**ion is real I'm too caught up catching a feel when I should be cashin' a mil It's something bout me being younger that affected my hunger Got older in number, realized I can't count on these hundreds To determine my elation Pursuit of happiness I keep pacin', these motherf**as racist These ain't fair races, they just let the fear erase us Adopted by the slums, son of guns this is how they raised us Yo son we gotta raise up, don't let them just array us 'Til we raisins in the sun So we gotta wake up [Hook: T'nah Apex] Cause they always be behind in the cut Always in the skies watchin' stars when they up So don't you confide into the evil and corrupt This is urgent, Apex on the vertex, tonight we're serving serpents Cause they always be behind in the cut Always in the skies watchin' stars when they up So don't you confide into the evil and corrupt This is urgent [Verse 2: Joey BADA$$] Got a whole bunch of sh** up on my plate now Thinkin' like in the man garden it's a snake now Cause I don't know who to believe or who to deceive Got me thinkin' I Sold my soul and ain't received a receipt but I won't proceed to retreat Jigga told me watch your throne seat And now I sees it and in respect to B.I.G., I gotta Cease it And I hope he see me cause these n***as don't want beef with my talents They ain't fit for this green, they just caesar salad You think because you avid they just gonna let you have it It's a lot to learn and that my n***a need to ask us It's the axis of the earth at the birth I found a new balance And now I walk on water just like I knew balance just like a relative Marijuana sedatives got me thinkin' I should put a bomb right where the senate is Cause they corruptin' the youth, we ain't inductin' the truth Lookin' at the president like yo it must be nothin' to you [Hook: T'nah Apex] [Verse 3: Joey BADA$$] I pa**ed the dutch to the left and it started to make sense It's funny how I see it more straight when I'm bent You've been warned on the risk it takes to take to sit on top Been on clock cause you could see that I been on watch sh** don't stop, 'til you make the sacrifices Trade in whats priceless to ices and devices When the light switch I shift like I'm typin' Livin' in the era where Christ is the crisis The lifeless in the trance actin like yo mans b**h n***as only know that transactions is the plans But the mic is in my hands so I valor the booth The blacker the berry is the more sour the fruit They ejectin' us to make us cowards to the power of truth Became flowers from roots and now we just move in cahoots I move from the stoop and put my foot right down on the asphalt Every night I ask lord if this what I asked for [Hook: T'nah Apex]
